You can transfer a domain between registrars as long as you have it unlocked at the current registrar and you provide a transfer code to the new registrar (usual method although different registrars may handle that differently).  Sounds to me like they did something to the current registrar which allowed it to be transferred.  Whether that means they hacked them or social engineered it or what I don't know.  As soon as it is transferred it would show a new registration date at the new registrar.

As far as using the MX record to intercept email that still requires a mail server at the destination IP which takes some effort.  Once they had re-registered the domain, changing the MX record would be trivial though.  Right now I show the mx record pointed at 54.204.22.76 which appears to be one of many mail server IP's for a place called mail.b-io.co.  I don't know anything about that place so I don't know if you could just setup an account and start receiving email there for a domain you "owned".

You can't have it both ways.  Ostensibly the reason they hacked coinfire is because they ran a fake news fud report just to hurt paycoin.  So then the hacker turns around and validates the whole story by "naming the source"?  Just goes to show that hacking is more about what you know than necessarily how smart you actually are.

Well considering their miners are already starting to look like vaporware, a chip that does both SHA256 and Scrypt to the tune of 110MH Scrypt and/or 2TH SHA256 would just put them even more in the realm of fantasy.  Besides if that was the case, why not advertise them that way?  Those original gridseeds were sold as dual miners.

I fully expect that if this thing goes forward there won't be any actual payouts.  Some sock puppet will pop up on crashtalk (or whatever the hell POS forum they have going at the time) saying "Thanks for buying all my XPY at $20 paybase!  You're gawsome!" or some equally brown nosed comment and no actual real purchases will ever take place.

It seems equally likely that the whole thing will get quietly pushed to a back burner, then disappeared and forgotten like so many other promises from josh.

Since my post was lost in the forum crash I will point out again how odd it is that they have equipment that mines SHA256 and equipment that mines Scrypt and both of them have the exact same delays and both of them conveniently now have hashrate increases despite the fact that they cannot possibly be based on the same chip.

Thanks!  Been running bfgminer for a couple hours and I am already convinced this is better than cgminer. 

Can someone paste their batch file to run bfgminer with these?

I believe plink can do what you are asking.  It comes with putty.  You can setup a scheduled task or a cronjob or whatever depending on the host OS of the computer you are using to SSH to the miner.  A scrypt file calling plink can connect to the miner and send a command.  I am not sure what the commands would look like to stop and start cgminer so you might have to experiment.  I know that running killall cgminer from the crontab on the miner will stop cgminer so running that from SSH might do the same.  You would also have to stop the cgminer-monitor task since that thing basically checks to see if cgminer is running and if not restarts it.  I suppose you could always just do a reboot as the command to start mining since everything would start automatically when it rebooted.

I also could not get this working on a Pi.  I used windows, installed the STM virtual comport drivers, then used zadig to switch them to WinUSB, then used cgminer from here https://github.com/dmaxl/cgminer/

You have to hot plug them with cgminer, which means launch cgminer and then plug in the USB which is kind of a pain but it works.  You can also disable a specific "generic usb hub" in the device manager to disable all of the gridseed devices, launch cgminer, and then enable that generic USB hub to have it detect all the devices so you can remotely restart.  That version of cgminer froze on me though when I connected 2 gblacks to the same computer.  It seems to do fine with 1 though.

If you had batch 4 then you had the new firmware for sure.  My Batch 3 ants had it already and I received them like 5 days after the firmware was released.  Bitmain was on top of it there. 

One of mine does what you describe after I change the freq.  If I change the freq I have to do a power cycle to get it to hash full speed.  It doesn't show any X's or anything else in the GUI to indicate a problem but it just won't get up to full speed.  I can tell pretty soon though by just watching the WU number.  If it tops out around 8k then I know the hashrate will never get to full speed.  At this point though I can say that it basically does it every single time I change the freq.  But as soon as I power cycle it, I see the WU number go past 10k or so within the first minute and then I know it will get to full hashing speed.

I have to say though, these batch 3 S5 units are way more stable than my batch 2 S3's.  Those S3's have been a pain in my butt since day one.  They don't get the speeds they advertised, they need to be rebooted regularly or their hashrate sinks to about 60% of normal, and sometimes when they reboot they can't even see the boards.  They have required constant baby sitting and I would have sold them if I didn't feel bad about just passing that problem on to someone else.  My S1 has been so remarkably stable I was excited by the S3 but then those were so remarkably temperamental I was hesitant to get these S5's.  But now that I have them and they have been hashing for 5 days or so I am a happy miner again.  These things seem very stable, they get up to speed a lot faster then the S3's, and once they are doing their thing they really don't need baby sitting.  Very nice.

100 Mhs of scrypt for $400 would very likely make a little profit.

I understand those shirts are going to sell for about $4 but Josh promises they will be worth at least $20 and probably more like $25 each.

That Chads4x4.com place doesn't work if you select pay by paycoin.  I went through the entire process and selected to pay with paycoin and it just went back to the beginning as if I had just added the item to my cart.  Is that supposed to mean they will have the capability when GAW gets their shit together? 

That about says it all right there.  If you came to me and said "I have this money I just made up and I want you to accept it in your store" and I asked, "Do you accept it in yours?" and you responded with anything other than "yes" I would send you packing.

I think it is funnier that every time we hit a long block someone says "withholding attack".

Don't forget cancer.  Thanks fuckers!

Oh yes.  Me too.  I am given to understand that maintenance fees will go down on these hashlets over time to help make sure they always make moneyTM and never become obsoleteTM.  Also I am told of magical pool of zen from which flow largest payouts ever to be found.  Please where can I sign up for these things?

Yes that too.    

cgminer 4.3.5 works much better with the detection of the blades in my experience.

https://github.com/dmaxl/cgminer/

I never have to reinstall drivers though.  Once zadig replaces the drivers with the right ones they always come up with the right drivers after I unplug and replug.  I also found that I can disable a specific item in device manager labeled USB HUB (because there are more than one) and all of the blades on the same USB port will disappear.  Then I can launch cgminer and enable that device and they all show up.  That way I can do it without physically disconnecting anything.  Which also means I can reset them all remotely because sometimes I do see one drop off and stop submitting shares.
