I'm pretty sure he had a large stash of his own.

That was also why I was hoping to get in contact with the family in case they disposed of his laptop / papers etc. From what I could tell they lived meekly and any sort of money would have been a great help, be it the money he's owed by the forum or his bitcoin funds.

DPS2000BBs all sold.

Good day I need your help, my spondoolies sp35 has a psu damaged, I need to know how to configure it to work with one psu
I'm not sure if it will actually let you run a half SP35.

The other solution I need is to replace the damaged psu with a one generic, in my country (Venezuela) I have access to buy a model psu HP DPS-1200FB server power supply, I need to know if it is compatible with my yukon sp35 or if you can somehow adapt. could you tell me if there is another psu compatible with my yukon sp35?

Comparability will be based off the gold finger pin interface; you'll have to find one with the same otherwise there's no way around it. The original PSU should be readily available at a cost for new, and possible used for cheaper.

Bumping this again, does anyone know what happened to this company? it all looked so promising....

They were an OEM for a company that had nothing for them to OEM with.

Seeing as you're hardware savy you can probably unbrick my S7 controller https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1513955.0

I may take you up on this. Give me a few more days to see what I can find.
What is shipping look like from the UK to the US?

If its as light as I'm remembering then very good as it can go in the mail.

I guess his friends or family could have found the wallet and finally cracked the password
It is also possible that his family sold off his computer/device that he was storing the forums BTC on, and whoever purchased it was only recently able to crack the password/encryption used to secure the BTC.
But then why send $2,500 to his old dead wallet?

Where did he send $2,500? It just seems to be one transaction of the full amount. Did that 250btc end up in any addresses previously associated with him?
See my post with wallet info. 5btc from the 250 was sent back to an otherwise empty wallet owned by Paraipan or his business partner.


I know if my next of kin got a random weird email or message on social media asking about bitcoins they'd either have no idea what you were talking about or just ignore it. They'd also probably ask me if I knew anything about it first before responding and if I was alive and holding 250 bitcoins I'd probably just tell them to ignore or deny it.
I had several letters professional translated asking to make contact to provide information, not to immediately reclaim the bitcoins. There also seems little reason to ignore it because I stated that his estate is owed some money (which it is).

That would possibly be even more alarming. People tend to ignore any letters claiming that they're owed long lost money. 99% likely scams and most people would just disregard it.
I'm trying to summarise several pages of information with proof of their son's involvement in one line.

Have you tried powering just the controller board and while leaving the hash boards un-powered, pressing the reset for >10sec? That seems to have unbricked another person's s7 here.

Long time ago but yeah. I was trying something for the sales team to see if we could boot off the SD card, and I think we ended up wiping what was on the onboard memory *and* the SD card boot failed so we just shipped another.

I think a good compromise would be that anyone who publishes a dox should be forced to "show their work" in a sense that they should be able to prove that they got their information from public sources.
How? (He could refuse. He could use a shill.)
Well one way to handle that would be to remove doxes posted without a public information trail.

The public information trail can be falsified by posting the evidence elsewhere then claiming it belongs to someone else. Happens all the time in copyright instances.

Would be interested in some powered usb3 raiser cables for gpu's if you have any. Also with the DPS2000BB + breakout boards is their boards or support for 8 pin as well as the normal 6pin?

Don't have any riser cables unfortunately. I see no reason why you couldn't create yourself a set of 8 pin PCI-E cables, however these are already 36" 16AWG cables ready to go and all prepared. There would be little advantage to swapping them over.

I've yet to see anyone offer mass amounts of people the opportunity to do paid shilling for them. I'd imagine even if it was done in the privacy of private messaging or some other forum unknown to us, some where there has to be proof. You guys are good at digging, I'd imagine someone has something eh?

Im being completely honest and serious here. I'd love to see proof of this happening. Can anyone supply it?

Thanks!

Are you sure you 100% confirmed his identity or his next of kin?
I traced him back to his family home which hadn't been sold in decades. Whoever is living there now is either the family or the tenant of the family.

His identity (name-surname) was well know or am I wrong?
Well, I guess so then. A related issue is that the name format in Spain (which that business reg. document is from) is different to Romania. Those documents could have been forged though and would only need complicity with his business partner (who strangely also refused to make contact after several attempts).
136  Other / Meta / Re: Everyone keeps saying people are a "Paid Shill", is there any truth to this? on: August 07, 2016, 02:33:10 PM
Yes. Absolutely, undoubtedly yes. Global labour is cheap enough that any westerner with any sort of vendetta can spend an inconsequential amount of money to harass people / organisations.
137  Other / Meta / Re: paraipan's coins on the move on: August 07, 2016, 03:03:22 AM
Interesting. Is his next of kin privy to his bitcoin holdings/the fact that he was holding coins for the forums? Were they unable to retrieve/claimed to not able to retrieve his coins?

I sent translated letters / instructions to them twice but never received any contact from them. The distribution of funds seems to widespread for it to be a family member because its unlikely they had any idea about Bitcoin. He was off in Spain after studying so they wouldn't have been exposed to his business activities.

Anyways, it is pretty much a no-brainer to setup multi-sig these days.

I've recently talked with theymos about this. A good multisig implementation would most likely prevent a lot of similar scenarios.

One of the other problems with Paraipan was he was anonymous and only known to the forum under his pseudonym. Took me quite a while to 100% confirm his identity, jobs, companies, multi country locations, next of kin etc etc.
139  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS][UK to World] Lots of PSUs! [6th Aug price drop] on: August 06, 2016, 11:50:35 PM
Updated prices.
140  Other / Meta / Re: paraipan's coins on the move on: August 06, 2016, 04:15:33 PM
Is he 100% confirmed to have pased away? Seems a bit weird that if you knew you were gravely ill you wouldn't make sure all your business was in order and return the coins he was holding.

No. I was unable to locate the Spanish death certificate because we didn't have the actual date of his death and his Romanian death certificate is only retrievable in person. There are several members on here that claimed to know him personally and that he did indeed die.

I'm sure someone could find out more details on this if his name is known or a private detective sure could. Can anyone get the death certificate from Romania? Cyrus is Romanian as far as I'm aware. If his name and date of death is roughly known I'm sure it could be easily found out. Call me a cynic but until we find out 100% he's deceased I wouldn't take the word of a few other random users on here unless their word is especially trusted but the fact that the coins are now moving is very suspicious.

I have pages and pages of information on him, that's not the issue. You have go to the town hall of his very small home town and turn up in person to request his death certificate as there isn't a central national database.
