URGENT - PLEASE READ - MOBILEMINER IS SHUTTING DOWN
Hello guys, I'm sorry to be here to announce this but yesterday evening I received an email from Nate Wools (Mobileminer author) telling me his service is going to be shut down on 1th July 2015.
That said, you have to turn off Mobileminer from your Minera before 1th July (I'd recommend you to turn off it ASAP).
What does happen if you leave it on? Probably nothing, but your Minera will still try to connect to that service every minute and you will probably suffer from timeouts, so it's really better if you turn off it before the service will be shut down.
Unfortunately I can't do anything but completely remove it in the next Minera version I'm going to release in about a week.
We should be really thankful to Nate for all his work and I wanna personally thanks him for all his efforts. Thanks Nate!

Dear MobileMiner API user,
We thank you for your support in adopting the MobileMiner API for mobile monitoring of home mining. Unfortunately home mining is no longer a realistic and profitable endeavor, which has lead a significant number of miners to cease operations or cut their costs. This leaves MobileMiner in an unfortunately situation where it no longer makes sense to offer as a service.
This email serves as an additional notice that the MobileMiner service will be shutting down as of July 1st, 2015. At this time the mobile apps have been removed from their respective stores and notices have been places on web properties. On July 1st the websites and APIs will be taken offline.

Let me know if this poses a problem or if you need something delayed until you can put out a release. The domain will still resolve but should result in an HTTP 503. I'd be happy to put something in place to help if this causes an issue (such as a dummy endpoint that returns HTTP 200).
I'm also talking to a couple of folks about continuing on the service under other stewardship, so if you do remove the functionality you may want to make it conditional (for now).
Let me know if there's anything I can do to make the transition smoother.
