As said dunno what triggered it working now instead of the 100 other times I tried. Maybe might want to try starting/restarting the miners at different times then you start your mining proxy program.  Like I for example I was trying the cube first and then relaunching the stratum mining proxy, whereas before I was doing this in reverse. Again logically I doubt this would make a difference, maybe it was pure luck,  but all I can say is now a hundred false starts later and it is hashing.

Well I wish you luck Edge...hopefully we can get these going. I'm pretty poor these days so if I lost a cube that'd really suck. Especially after being losing money in the WeExchange scam. Anyways though, optimistic can get this going.

BTW for your screen shot you show the ports as 8338. Should these not be 8333 ? You prob know what you are doing here and I don't think their would be any response at all if the ports were wrong but thought I'd mention it.


edit: WORKING  ! Praise the cyber gods.  I have no idea what happened. It was like the 100th try reset, refed all the same values in for the 20th try, and just on the last restart i'm getting hashes. Happy if somewhat confused.

[03:34] <@Ukyo> its also been holidays as Danny mentioned.

Wow. Just wow. Ukyo is saying 'I promised to say what happened with over the 2 million dollars that was deposited into my exchange and than vanished into thin air. Maybe I'll give an answer this week. Oh sorry it's pushed back there was a holiday.'

Does anyone buy this? 

This is the ole BFL "coming in 2 weeks" run-around.

Haven't had any luck getting my Canary cube going as well

I have no 'x' s, chips all o's

My stratum proxy seems fine but the cube can't process any work. I get endless "[date time here] INFO proxy client_service.handle_event # New job 1386190 629 15775 for prevhash 142637ca, clean_jobs=False" messages from my stratum proxy.

Very occasionally it'll end instead with clean_jobs=True.

Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried running another stratum proxy on a different computer on my network and same thing, the stratum proxy connects to the pool but never any mention of work /hashes being done.  I don't think it's a matter of incorrect pool credentials either because the second pool I set up is with Eligius which accepts any name password combo.

I turned off my pc software fire wall, didn't seem to help. Could it be a router based firewall problem maybe?  
The cube was a bit beat up, some of the boards where not lined up in the slots, (like the PCBs were out of the grooves likely indicating it was tossed around a bit) but opened it up and put the boards in the proper place and there is no physical damage besides that anyways.

So no progress, no news?  

I don't know how some of you are staying so calm.  I have about a BTC lost here and this drives me near-berserk (now that we are over a $1000/usd/btc).  If I had like, 10 or more btc like some of you, I would be headed to Texas. I'm surprised by how little anger there is here.

Yes. Any deposits made to WeExchange have disappeared into a void and you have no hope currently of getting them back.

Ukyo has been accepting deposits for the last month + gladly, with no ability to pay people back when they withdraw.

Ukyo plans to at least tell people what happened 'at some point in the future'.

I don't know about vTX, but this is a similar situation with Asicminer, which I lost a few dozen BTC on over the summer.

The problem with Havelock securities (most of them, maybe all) is that a company's valuation does not go up as fast as Bitcoin itself does. So if your company is worth a million dollars, even if the company is doing well, it is likely the stock price will fall when Bitcoin goes up 300% - 500% or whatever.  As the Bitcoin price goes up, the security is worth less and less of the equivalent same value in terms of bitcoin.

Right on!

My label will be coming in about 90 minutes, thanks Canary! Excited.

EDIT: Work held me back, couldn't get label done. But will do tonight or tomorrow, shipping Friday is totally fine, thanks. CAn't wait to get this.

Really scratching my head here. What is the point of having a big IPO, successfully raising $100's of thousands* for MCXNow and then....

"Sorry guys can't seem to find $50,000 a year annual salary for a single tech support person."

Get out, get out, get out.

And no, I am not trying to buy your stocks cheap. I never go within a stone's throw of MCXNow. Once again, just look at Mincoin...


 (*no idea of the actual figure, can't be bothered to calculate it, just guessed that figure tbh haven't check the figure)

My logical mind says 'Yes' and I agree with the OP. But you know what? Every time, every single time, I have doubted Bitcoin's market strength I've been wrong.

I now even bite my tongue when hearing people toss around numbers like $5,000 etc.  Logically I don't think it is sustainable, but ya, I've learnt enough that I'm not going to say it isn't going to happen.

Sell at the all-time high, buy back at 80% of that price is a reasonably safe and effective method that I have use myself, anyways.

You guys pay capital gains taxes in the States? Man that sucks.  For a country that's economic policy is effectively set by Goldman Sachs employees you guys sure get boned. Do you know most major corporations, such as Apple and Starbucks, pay less than 2% tax on their earnings? You guys should do the same (in a fair world).

I think a big story that people haven't been talking about is the secondary Great Alt-Boom that happened a week after the BTC last craziness.

USD for many alt coins didn't follow with BTC boom. Instead the market was more cautious to spent the BTC equivalent for NMC, LTC, NVC etc.

But it's like everyone got on board the alts now. After some hesitation of wondering whether people would really spend 10 or 20 bucks on an LTC, people are spending 10/20 bucks on a LTC.  If you don't buy into this theory, just look at LTC price, it didn't jump with BTC, there was a lot of hesitation. There was week delay or so before the Alt Coin boom.

The last Great Alt Boom was perhaps even more important than this last BTC boom from a trader's perspective, I think.  I don't think anyone knew for sure whether the alts would climb with BTC in proportion to pre-boom prices, or if BTC's meteoric raise would not be matched in the alts.  But ya, they were matched in the alts. That's something surprising and remarkable to me at least.

I'm telling my friends it is a good buy at less than <800.

BTC will go down. But not a massive amount.

But buying anything at the All Time High is a bad idea. Socks, snacks, or Sexcoins, whatever.

I just recommend any new comers to Novacoin, or to alt-coin trading in general, to do at least do 1 hour research into NVC before saying the old tired stuff.

Do you know what my first post about  Novacoin was, 8 months ago?  It was something along the lines of "Is NVC just the newest scam lol, what a joke" -- or something to that effect, check my post record if you don't believe me, maybe it was my 30th post (complete guess).

But you know what? I jumped the gun like many others and accepted the prevailing bad press about Novacoin. This is in part because of all the scam/dumb coins that do exist, which makes people defensive, understandably. Novacoin is not one of those.  I read up on it, Balt himself patiently addressed my own ridicule of the coin back then, and now 8 months later I can say come around 100%. I was wrong in my initial poor judgement NVC, and this changed after learning more about it.  

Just asking people politely to please read the facts (and not so much the press) and make your own judgement if you are new to NVC.  

Also consider the possibility that at least some of the people telling you it is such a bad coin could also just be trying to keep the price down for themselves.

edit: here's the link to my own post. Just want to show how much I came around from my initial impression to my sincere liking of the design of this coin:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=171438.msg1783254#msg1783254

I hope I'm not annonying but sorry: called it.

Just try to look at the writing on the wall (this is from someone scammed a few times before).  This is a delay tactic.  Are you guys not ******** pissed that this over 1.5 million and Ukyo can't deem it worthy enough of his time to even spend 20 seconds saying what is going on?

It looks like we got scammed. But let's not get jerked around further, for another month, with complete bullshit like "Oh an update just might come tomorrow if you are lucky! Just hang on, hang on. Yup, can't say what the problem is. You know, it's really unclear. Something odd happened can't put my finger on it. You send your millions of USD in and it just like disappeared somewhere, going to check the backroom hang on, update in 8 4 oh no 10 more days, just can't seem to put my finger on what happened! "

Whoever has more than 10 btc or what not should set a deadline. Like in the next 48hrs. Once passed with no update, bring your recovery to the next stage. Thanks shitfanleaks for not being gullible enough to buy this waiting-for-maybe-an-update-tomorrow waste of time.

I can't fathom what all Ukyo's indecision or difficulty at defining what the situation even is.  And boy, it sure is difficult to spend 8 seconds to explain it. But that's okay, it's only $1.5+ million dollars, no big deal  


edit: as a thought experiment, ask a friend -- preferably someone who doesn't know about bitcoin -- for their advice. Tell them the whole situation here, but exchange 'bitcoins' for 'gold bars' / 'hats' / 'jars of jam' or anything else to not confuse them.  See what they say. Many of you guys are in denial, the writing is on the wall here.  

CEX is good. I used it. The put a good service together and they are honest so far.

You can't really hold it against them that the price of GH naturally falls like a rock and you lost money on your investment. LOL try buying a psychical miner. At least you GH will be worth something in 3 months.  For example the asicminer cube i'm getting (for 1 btc) I've projected that after 3  / 3.5 months it's primary use to me will be as a space heater for my apartment.

I had some spare btc so I bought 35 gh/s during the boom.  The price has gone up since then, I bought in around .079.  You'll never have the price of your investment go up in physical hardware (unless you figure on selling it over-priced on ebay or something somewhat dubious).

Where you going for sarcasm here ? I'd be surprised if it was by pure accident or not any knowing better that each point you made is incorrect.

1)NVC has a market cap of over $11 million now.
2) NVC has a normal volume traded considering it is a savings-encouraging coin.
3) There is demand for it. If you think the owner of BTC-E is buying his own NVC at increasingly higher rates to increase the price, well, your gonna need some sort of evidence beyond just your idle speculation.  Are you also ignoring that NVC is traded on 6 exchanges? Sure most of the volume is on BTC-E, but do you think Vircurex and Crypsty are in this Novacoin conspiracy?
4) NVC is an innovative mix of scrypt/pos/pow. It is one of the older, more original alt's. NVC has itself been copied hasn't it, into Bitbar (don't quote me on that).  
4) Premined coins were destroyed. 95% is wildly inaccurate.
5) I've been mining NVC for many months with my remaining 2 gpu's I kept and bought a couple dozen NVC when it was 3.50.  Am I a fool?  
6) You can not seriously suppose that 'scammers' are doing all the trading with themselves, driving the prices, that is silly. And hey sure may even a big pump and dump right now going from 5 to 20. But people trade coins in the open market and the market is liking NvC, and that is why it is at the price it is, simple as that.

Sorry guys,  guess I shouldn't feed the trolls....

I hear that. I'm still can not fathom the highs and strength on the usd/btc market recently. I would not have guessed we'd be so close to 1000 at this point in time even when I was being optimistic, even though I'm a long-term bull.

Novacoin has some good fundamentals. I thought it was much undervalued last week. It always traditionally was around 0.02 or at least more than LTC so glad to see it come back to it's position.  Though ya, the spike and height it has reached from the recent boom is certainly surprising.  I was guessing more along the lines of 10-15$ but hey, the market wants lots of Novacoins.

Honestly less surprised to see NVC at over 15$ than I am at seeing NMC selling for 7 bucks. Pretty nuts stuff.
