Ouch, that doesn't sound good at all. Because the balance decreased there's two plausible explanations. Either the balance was partially unconfirmed and the blocks associated with the unconfirmed portion were orphaned. Or, there's been a database rollback to a point where the funds were not attributed to your account.
To answer your question -- even though I don't believe this is the case of drkpool.com -- yes, a pool's funds are typically stored in a single or small amount of wallets, any pool operator with access to the wallet could take your DRK. This is why it's vitally important to mine at a pool that you have established trust in. Trust in the pool, the operator, and their standard operating procedures.

Are you suggesting drkpool.com are not trustworthy? How do I establish trust? Thousands of people mine via drkpool.com, last time I checked it was the "official pool", no?

I also had some drk stolen. I had .70 for a few weeks, then yesterday that balance was down to .58. No transactions were logged.

Same situation here. No records in transactions. Coins were taken twice (small amounts like 0.1 - 0.2, however I noticed it because of my low hashrate) from "confirmed" balance. Last "takeaway" was in latest few days. Contact form - no answer so far (two messages within few weeks). This is ridiculous.

Moreover in 2nd message I warn about XSS in API callback I've discovered recently in MPOS (pool was vulnerable since "big update"). Today after I realized coins are missing (again) I want to use that API to monitor my balance and make stats by myself. But guess what, API is off. Coincidence?

There is something obviously wrong with "official pool" and/or people behind it.

Idem
support mail and no answer.
2nd time in 3/4 weeks....merde!
Have also a ridiculous mining ring so 1 drk is so long....when you got it, you happy. When you lose 3....putain merde quoi!
It's more embarassing by the official pool reference.
I prefer to know stolen by hacker than webmaster...but with no answer...it suspect
So, I suggest you remove the official reference for all other drk I have on my wallet and also for you focus on the roadmap =).

French!

Ok I got 2nd email with full link to change wallet for coins to be sent to but I entered NULL for the old wallet address because I had never put my wallet address on my account. Will I still get my coins?

Hi so I got the 2 emails about final drkpool coin payouts but I have a problem/question. I had never assigned an wallet address to my drkpool account so in the first email it was referred to as NULL. In the 2nd email i clicked that full link on google docs to change old wallet to new wallet for final coin payout and for old wallet I put NULL. was that the correct thing to do?

So can anybody official elaborate what actually happened here? Doesn't really shine a good light on the coin when the official pool goes bankrupt and down :)

The official pool didn’t go bankrupt and down. Because of the theft issue Evan realized that in order to properly manage and maintain the pool he would have to dedicate more time to it, and this is valuable development time, we need him coding RC4. So he decided to close it down, at the beginning it played an important role and was necessary now his time is more valuable elsewhere is just a matter of priorities.

Thanks for the answer! It seemed like quite the arbitrary thing and no official answer was given here on the forum but I saw the Reddit afterwards and it explained a lot.

I had an email from Evan telling me to visit drkpool.darkcoin.io to withdraw my darkcoin. I went to the site and was pleased to see my balance intact. When I tried to cash out, I was emailed a token to complete the process but the email never arrived (yes, I checked junk). Now my account is locked waiting for an expired token to arrive via email and I am unable to request another email.

I have tried asking for help in #darkcoin and found out I am far from the only person experiencing this issue. I have also sent an email asking for help but so far the pools admins are ghosts.

Hey, what happened with the drkpool.io? I updated the information as per the email received, but no funds received.
Any news?
