CryptonightR temporarily disabled

by Steve Sokolowski · · Post #23893

We temporarily disabled CryptonightR because of a problem with block submissions. We were aware of this problem over the weekend, and were willing to deal with the losses until jury duty was over, but unfortunately it turns out that a few customers rented cloud mining hashrate to direct at the algorithm. Once jury duty concludes, or whenever Vance is able to investigate the problem, we'll enable CryptonightR again. I apologize for the inconvenience.

As I talked about before, all customers are valuable, but our focus moving forward is going to be on providing the best service to direct miners. Cloud mining rentals are going to be prohibited from mining the anchor coins once we have enough time to implement that feature.

Hence the profits
I'm sorry, but as I said before, we just don't have enough manpower right now to work on the original Cryptonight algorithm. If the prices of coins continue to rise, then we will be able to hire people to get that algorithm implemented. That said, with our current staff, we've decided to improve our existing products over adding new ones.
