We haven't missed a payment to a single miner in whole operating history since April 2014. All payments were on time (maybe sometimes delayed up to an hour or two). NiceHash is run as a legit company, acting by the laws and paying taxes. How many BTC pools do that?
The domain will not be sold until 2016 or later. I will not be selling it to somebody so they can redirect stratum.btcguild.com to their own server right after the pool shuts off.
OK, eleuthria, fair enough. If the domain would be for sale, we would redirect stratum.btcguild.com to our stratum servers, thus provide continuous mining for the current users. We did the same recently after yaamp.com was shut down and users were pleased with this decision, since many of them were using yaamp.com stratum pool as the only pool in the miner configuration ... there are probably many btcguild users with similar configuration (using btcguild as the only pool in the miner configuration) and all of these miners will go into "space-heater-only-mode"
after stratums will be shut down. Of course, it's miners responsibility to properly (re)confiugre their miners and like I said we respect eleuthria's decision. Keep on hashing Kind regards,
NiceHash
Although I'm curious how you would plan to provide continuous mining without Eleuthria being willing to provide the private information of BTCGuild users...
When a company #1 purchases company #2, it urgently gets all information stored in company #2. This offer is more like a company take over, rather than just domain purchase, with the exception that we are not interested in software; in fact, we are interested only in domain and 2 columns of database (username and btc address) - so we can properly link each mining username with miners BTC address. That way, miners continue to mine and get paid in Bitcoins. Additionally to that, we would transfer all current BTCGuild balances of miners to balances in our system so there is no hassle needed about late withdraws and reaching minimum balances.
The domain will not be sold until 2016 or later. I will not be selling it to somebody so they can redirect stratum.btcguild.com to their own server right after the pool shuts off.
If you have any doubts regarding our intentions, we can disclose you full details about the company standing behind. We are not some rogue savages trying to steal hashrate as some are trying to present us here. Our intentions are to fully pay all miners of BTCGuild that would continue to mine on BTCGuild domain after closure - every share will be paid in BTC, the way NiceHash has been operating since the beginning.
