Title: Pointing your miner to others peoples Pools and workers? What can go wrong?
Post by: grumpy619 on January 30, 2014, 03:54:11 AM
Hello everyone. I have posted my miner on CL in my local city of San Diego and there are a lot of people asking me to point the miner to their pool as proof that it hashes at the rate that i said it does. I always ask for a deposit of 0.01BTC for me to do that for 30 min. Every single person refuses. The funny thing is that they all ask to point it to the same Pool BTC Guild. Now my question is what can someone do if I end up pointing my miner to a different mining pool? Can they hijack the miner or do anything to it even though its password protected?

they will earn a little extra shares that is , and at least they can proof that your gear is upto what you claimed.
I have pointed my miner to some of my friends too. I believe nothing can be done to harm your mining equipment.

but why would you charge less than what you could be mining?

They claim that they are interested in purchasing the equipment.

I would like to purchase a 220 G/H rig but there is no guarantee someone would send one to me after I paid.

I was trying to get rid of the miner for 3600 USD because it was Craigs List. Where are you located Phazon307 If in the USA we may be able to make a deal.

Don't forget to use escrow, it will be good for both of you. :)
