Yes.    https://twitter.com/NastyMining and actually, this is the easiest and fastest way to reach me if the forum goes down.  I am guilty of rarely logging into Reddit and usually only hop on IRC when I need to have a live conversation with someone.

This is actually very understandable to me. I've considered asking nonnakip to implement some sort of IRC box similar to how BitFunder does it to avoid the need for any moderating. I just feel especially guilty asking nonnakip for anything right now, as I know the pool implementation and the transferring of seats to BTCTC members are currently taking up too much of nonnakip's time. I'm also not sure anyone would actually use it.

I will say that if the forum went down for any significant length of time, I would be reachable through IRC or the Bitcoin Reddit site.

We should discuss pricing privately so I can do a cost analysis on this.

NASTY POOL has surpassed NASTY MINING and reached over 500GH/s!  This is in part to RSM pointing their new BFL ASICs at our P2Pool node.  A big thanks to RSM and our other miners for helping get our pool stress tested before we go live with it on NastyFans.org.

What is NastyPool?
NastyPool is a P2Pool node integrated with NastyFans.org.  We harness the P2Pool network to reduce variance while still supporting decentralized mining and adding exclusive features.  In addition to 0% fees, miners receive "credits" for accepted P2Pool shares that can be entered in future lottery drawings.  You can check your hashrate and accepted P2Pool share count by creating an account at NastyFans.org and registering your Bitcoin address or by following this link.  An account is not necessary to simply mine and receive payouts.

Features:

• 0% Fees
• Exclusive NastyPoP Payout System (optional)
• NastyPoP Payout Bonus (300 NastyFans seats)
• Earn NastyCredits for Accepted P2Pool Shares
• P2Pool Support
• IPv6 Support
• Custom Mining Charts
• Integration with NastyFans.org
• Nodes in Germany & the US

Things to come:

• Performance Increase
• NastyCredits Lottery
• NastyCredits Auction
• More Charts & Statistics

What is NastyPoP?
NastyPoP is our exclusive payout system.  It runs on top of the existing P2Pool software and alters the payouts for participants to a Prop-on-PPLNS system.  This drastically reduces variance created by P2Pool's high share difficulty and gives miners reliable weekly payouts.  300 NastyFans seats also provide a shared weekly bonus for NastyPoP miners to earn >100% mining earnings.

This would create a small increase in mining payouts (0.9%) for our pool users but would also virtually eliminate alt coin savings.  I like the idea of having a diversified store of value and think it is worth more than the additional mining earnings it would generate.  The end result of your idea would be taking away from NastyFans to give to miners.  NastyFans have to be the first consideration.

We are merged mining on the pool.  We don't currently have a way to payout the alt coins to NastyFans, but this is something we will look at in the future.  Right now our alt coins are only worth a few Bitcoins total, so we're going to continue amassing them for now, with the help of our pool users.

I'd like to throw my hat in the ring as a trusted escrow provider.

I don't see any other threads about this.  I've ran a few group buys in the past and would be willing to run a USA only group buy for this if people were willing to pay 0.55 BTC per coin with free shipping.  Just offering.  

Totally normal with P2Pool.  It's because of the block rounds changing every 10 seconds.

I've started offering escrow, as I'm nearly always available and have a long and positive trading history.

WOW!  Great to see P2Pool growing at a faster rate than the overall network.  I look forward to the reduced variance.



Reach out to nonnakip about this issue and see if something can be done.  There is a reason accounts are terminated after they've liquidated their seats.  The easiest thing to do would be to select a new username or change the capitalization.

Just wanted to say that this is true and I have offered to manage this fund as opposed to it closing.  I have been a fan of this fund since the beginning and do not want to see it close.  

First thing is first...  This fund holds shares of NastyFans, which I am a large part of.  This is an obvious conflict of interests, but one that I will manage well and remain open to criticism from those of you willing to remain onboard with this fund.

As far as my thoughts on how I would manage this fund...  I think Carnth did an excellent job selecting assets from trustworthy members.  I have no plans to change this fund into a yield chaser, or invest in assets offered by those who have not proven themselves to the community.  One thing I will change is that I believe there is plenty of demand for this fund, but rarely good entry points (Carnth touched on this by saying he does not have the time to manage this fund as it should be).  I think shares need to be listed for sale and adjusted regularly to account for the NAV.  I also plan to have the MININGCO.ETF thread show you all the info you need to know with automatically updating statistics showing our exact number of holdings and the fund's NAV.  This will be similar to the way I list holdings in the NASTY MINING thread.

I think there are currently lots of opportunities available for a fund like this to take advantage of, and I would look forward to the challenge of exploiting those opportunities for the profit of the fund.

If you have any comments, good or bad about me managing this fund, please feel free to share.



An indebted American is not an accurate description of me.  While NASTY MINING is in debt as you say, our 5.8TH/s will quickly erase that debt and continue to return profits to NastyFans as I have done for well over a year.  This fund would never take on any debts of any kind, so I think that observation is moot.  I have no problems at all with regards to more candidates and if you can find someone trustworthy with more experience managing assets than I have, I urge you to ask them to offer their services on this thread.

Congrats to NastyFans for receiving their 500th BTC donation today!

A few updates... 

NASTY POOL - nonnakip has made tremendous progress getting our P2Pool node integrated with nastyfans.org.  In the meantime, we are currently seeing just under 80GH/s on our pool which is now generating 2.1% in fee donations for NastyFans.  I expect to see our pool hashrate climb as more and more NastyFans discover it and unique features are implemented.  If you would like to mine with us prior to the pool being integrated with nastyfans.org, you can by pointing your miner to nastyfans.org:9332 and using your BTC address as your username.

NASTY MINING - This will be the first full week of us mining with all of our 65nm ASICs.  As we await our 28nm ASICs, we're in somewhat of a holding pattern while we repay loans.  I have looked into ordering some other products, but I think that going forward, power consumption and profitability will be extremely important.  I think we need to hold off for now while we await our 28nm ASICs and get ourselves back to being debt free.  I will continue to expand our holding portfolio and look for alternative donation sources as it is a shame we will be losing the 1% of donations received by Carnth's BTCT fund now that the exchange is closing.

SILVER COINS - I have been selling 1g NastyFans 2013 Collector's coins as a fundraiser for NastyFans.  So far we have raised BTC2.02 and I will continue to let this fundraiser run until the end of the year, when I will make the donation.  I have had a new year 2014 1g coin designed that features the new Nasty Pool and I plan to run another fundraiser using these coins for 2014.  I am also working on a 1oz coin that I think will be unique and exciting.  I will have more details on that fundraiser in the coming weeks.

GPU MINING - I have had a hell of a time stabilizing our GPU miner and have decided to focus it solely on LTC mining for now.  I've traded our NVC for LTC and we are now scrypt mining LTC stable at 2MH/s with cool temperatures. 

Interesting indeed.  Although that doesn't come with a power supply.  I wonder what BFL did with all of their trade-in units.

To me diamonds are paperweights, but I doubt anyone will be giving me them at paperweight prices anytime soon.  I've never seen one of these sell for less than BTC4.  What is the cheapest one has ever sold for?

I have one I'd part ways with for BTC4.  Not really looking to sell, but that's what I'd take.

Trusted BITCOIN Escrow Service:

I am providing escrow services for a 1% gift (0.002 BTC minimum) and am opening this thread for feedback on my services.  Feel free to PM me to setup any escrow arrangements.  

I will also provide USDT escrow services in exchange for a gift of $50 (TRC20) or $100 (ERC20) + 1% of the total.  Additional 1% gift for >$10,000 escrows.

*I will escrow altcoins for double the gift amount.
**I will take delivery of goods and reship for a 0.005 BTC minimum gift.


RULES:
1. I will not escrow accounts, paypal, or gift cards.
2. I will not refund a Bitcoin address that is not the sending address without a signed message from the sending address or prior agreement.
3. I am not a bank.  Escrows are for a period of 30 days and an additional 1% gift (or BTC minimum if higher) will be required for each 30 day period thereafter.


The below address is the only address I will ever ask you to send BTC to.  If asked to send to a different address, you are dealing with a scammer.

Example request:


Please also include the seller on the message.  I will reply all to confirm receipt of coins and the address they will be released to.  Once the buyer tells me the item has been received, I will release funds to the seller (typically within a few minutes/hours).

We've got loans we're focusing on repaying, but will eventually resume purchasing equipment again. When we do purchase more equipment, it will be as or more power efficient than BFL Monarchs.


1g .999 Silver NastyFans Collector's Coins are now available via BitMit.net for ease of ordering:

We've received our RMA from BFL and are now back to hashing away with 7 60GH/s miners.

Hippievogel, Carnth offered that asset and will have to resolve this issue for anyone who purchased shares from him.  His thread for it is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=268589.0
