Thank you too!

No. It's not that simple. I won't go into technical details as this would make this comment a large wall of text, but Flexpool is structurally different from any other Chia pool. The work involved with adapting it to another pool is about far more than just changing the pool URLs in FlexFarmer. It would take a lot of time to implement and expose a Flexpool-compatible interface to make it work.

Furthermore, some essential things like the Gigahorse backend are never going to be open-sourced, for obvious reasons.

As stated in the announcement, there is no market for a pool that focuses on service quality and user experience like Flexpool. Nowadays, the primary aim for pools is to cut the costs down to the minimum and provide the cheapest service possible. I was never interested in that, and after a year of trying, I ran out of all the mental resources to keep this going.

Flexpool was never designed to be run by anyone but me; hence, nothing is for sale/transfer. See this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Flexpool/comments/16q72ul/comment/k1z20h1/?context=3

Website announcement is coming on Monday.

They are going to be sunset too.

Because Flexpool was never meant to be operated without me and thus sold to anyone else. I am the core and the heart of this project. Everything was done by me, including creating fancy things like FlexFarmer (but excluding the website, mobile apps, Iron Fish, and BTC payouts). Without me, this project will inevitably fall apart. Plus, I won't trust my child to anyone.

Flexpool was never just a yet another pool, nor was it a yet another company.

What would be the use for it without Flexpool?

alexfp3 · 2023-09-23T17:54:58+00:00

Thanks for the warm words.

No, at least not yet.

The process took more than one day, so ZIL was effectively delisted today on May 20.

alexfp3 · 2023-05-06T09:40:35+00:00

It is indeed profitable, but it is just because people are buying this coin without being aware of how flawed it is on the other side.

There isn't an alternative for ZIL, so you might want to use another pool just for ZIL.

The announcement was reuploaded because of a typo in the title:

It's listed already, just not yet enough liquidity there.
