Supposedly, what had happened was that someone was able to dupe a Linode customer service rep into giving them access to the server's in browser tty shell. That's the story i was given.
Not exactly, allegedy what happened is the hackers hacked the email address lailai625@hotmail.com due to password reuse. This email address was a recovery email address for another account, which IIRC was admin@glados.cc. Once they accessed this account, the hacker then allegedly reset the Linode password and somehow bypassed the 2FA on the linode account. That is exactly what happened with another site Bitcoinica which was hacked 3 times in 2012, same hosting company and all, and Bitcoinica was also owned by an Australian: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=66979.0in fact TF was even warned not to use this host for this reason many times by many people and ignored all of them. It is very possible that it is a coincidence, but this also could've been planned. There is one small detail that does not make sense however. The part about how th linode 2FA was bypassed was basically skipped over in his explanation, and also the account admin@glados.cc had 2FA enabled too, so I don't know how the account password could be reset without turning off 2FA, and TF never mentioned how that was done either, in fact he never mentioned he had 2FA enabled on this account at all when he in fact did. Hmmm.. thanks for this short version, I will read also the Bitcoinica hack. He also told everyone (at least when I deposited) that all deposits were backup up with assets in AsicMiner and other securities and that if a hacked occurred, he would reimburse those affected.
I think nobody has never received anything backwards, or am I wrong? He had made a few deals with individuals with larger balances where they received a portion of their deposits back, but thats about it. Instead, he kept all the shares of AsicMiner and other securities for himself, instead of reimbursing those that he screwed over. (and with AM going under that is now worthless as well). |

Bitcoin is already taxed at least in the USA..... its taxed as property capital gains / loss
Correct, also mining bitcoin has to be reported as self employment income. This will increase the amount of tax you owe, but at least you will be able to deduct the costs of electricity and depreciate your rigs now. |

Can someone tell me the difference between using the op or purse?
Because I`m debating who to go with, and I`m leaning more onto this discount then anything else and if its a less hassle. I need to buy a pair of headphones thats like $200ish dollars so the discount does help. But purse offers similar?
I, as well as others, have purchased multiple times from the OP and never had a problem. I have also offered escrow services for over 15 orders with the OP, and never had a single problem with those either. I would say you are fine to use this seller for your purchase. |

Here you're supposed to explain what happened, post all the details of the transaction as well as the user you accuse of scamming and all the proof you have. Read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0We can't help if we don't know what happened and probably nobody will investigate that address until you prove to a certain degree it belongs to a scammer.
We have a list of addresses and sales records of many that did commit fraud against us. We did include the first violator and we will be posting more as time goes forward. As we mentioned, there are 2,814 addresses in our possession that are involved with this theft. We expect to be able to complete posting the list of the major offenders to this thread within the next 48 hours.
As of yet, we do not know the true identity of the person, group, company, or government involved. One thing is for certain: whoever they are has access to not only banking and credit information, but identification cards as well.
Did you even read the other reply? You are supposed to say why you are accusing this person(s) of fraud. No one will help if you don't provide evidence to back up your claim. |

This sucks big time. Hope the price recovers in the meantime for owners of Umisoo.
On the other hand, if these get turned off, would this affect diff?
There is no guarantee that they will be turned off, or that S2's are currently hashing for the UMISOO contract. If Bitmain has gone in and upgraded all S2's to S5's already, then they can provide the hashrate for the UMISOO and S2 contracts for cheaper than what they are selling it for. It also means they will probably continue to mine with them or resell them as S5's now. I also always bet that they had cheaper than .098 kw/h electricity rates, but charged us that amount. So they could still run them for themselves if it makes sense. So you are saying Bitmain might claim to shut them off and would not actually do that? Sure why not? Whats the contract really mean anyway? They can have any type of hashpower they want backing up all the hashpower that they sell, and can make the power rate anything they want. If I really wanted to, I could sell you hashpower from an S5, only sell you 1 TH/s of power, and claim power is .15 cents per kilowatt hour. Then, when that point is not profitable, I tell you the contract is over, then I keep running the machines for myself until it hits a point where it really isn't profitable anymore. Not saying this is what is happening. But it is a possibility. They could be making more money if they had switched out all S2's and S3's with S5's and then continued your hashing power as if they were the lower model and banked the difference. And as with any business that wants to avoid regulation and prosecution they're in China. WTF can anyone here do to a business in China that rips them off? Sue em? Good luck. It's a gamble as is pretty much anything BTC related. So far I haven't seen hashnest doing anything really sketchy to indicate them ripping customers off, but anything is possible and if they were really savvy we would never even know it, just like you illustrated. exactly, not that I care. I agreed to the contracts that I have with them when I purchased. I don't care what goes on behind the scenes and if they make more money, as long as I continue to get paid based on the contract they entered into with me. If they were to give back at all, and reduce fees or whatever, I would probably invest more, but I don't see that happening. I guess my whole point was to the person saying hashrate could go down when those contracts end, and I was saying that they could possibly not be turning off the miners. |

At what BTC price do they stop that pacmic contract which I was saving for... Maybe it's good I still haven't bought it..
Depends on difficulty. Use a calculator to find when 1 TH/s produces negative revenue today using 590 watts of power at .098 cents a kw/h. |

I am thinking of investing not much, but maybe helpful. Do you have a minimum investment amount?
Hae you recieved the document and link? No we will just stop accepting when we reach the goal. Can you update the public list of investors in OP so we know how much more is needed? |

I have a question. I don't ever go to Starbucks, but my fiancée loves it and I would love to supplement her spending there a little bit. I can probably have her download the app from starbucks, then if I buy a egift card, do you just load the balance onto that? And she can just keep paying from her phone and adding new egift cards when needed?
yes, exactly, but prepare for her to POSSIBLY be embarased (not always but ofen enuf) when she uses cards like these found on this forum and other place and the barista tells her that the card acount has been closed becuase the fund to get them were obtained "in a questinable manner." so yes, as long as u warn her what mite happen she should be good like u say. Yea, I will only buy from reputable people, but I know that is more than just a possibility. Thanks for the information, I will give it a go and see what happens. |

I had tried to set up a service for this a few months ago, but didn't get any interest. You should be able to just contact ANACS and have them graded, I don't believe there is a minimum if I remember their email back to me correctly.
There is a minimum though if you want to get the cheaper rate of 20$ a coin, (Minimum 5 coins if I am not mistaken) ahh that makes sense. Your probably right. The other thing I ran into that got complaints doing a group grading and their were multiple of the same coin. When they come back who gets what grades. Obviously every attempt at keeping your coin as yours would be made, but there will always be someone who gets upset that his coin wasn't graded as high as start making complaints. Just something to think about to OP. |

Black Arrow is a scam company and stole millions from investors. Do not do business with them. There also is no confirmed X1.5 units that have shipped yet, since they were supposed to be for compensation and BA reneged on sending any compensation to those who got screwed by them.

Of course, you are right. Silly me. I think it's pplns.
Btw. I see you have your own pool. Where did you learn those marketing skills? Neighbourhood pimp perhaps?
Don't be mad that you didn't take the time to research the pool you were using more. Had you read anything about the pool you would know the payout procedures and that the reward is calculated based on shares submitted for more than one block. |

I don't like to post sounding like a conspiracy theorist but our horrible luck the last few days does not sit well with me. I had the same feeling during the DDOS attack. Anyone not buying that the two worst periods of luck in the last month have been during a DDOS attack and fire at one of their farms? It is unfortunate because there is nothing we can do to prove that Hashnest has not been up 99.99% as they promise.
It also bothers me that someone from Bitmain posted saying that the drop in hashrate was because of moving Umisoo miners to Bitmain facility. Now they post something completely different.
Just tell us the truth. Compensate us if it is warranted and I don't think anyone will complain. In fact I would be willing to bet sales would go up.
This is now the 2nd or 3rd post I have read from you about not being happy about pool luck, and I, as well as others have responded by being very nice and explaining that variance happens and nothing is out of the ordinary. But now I am starting to get annoyed. I didn't see you complaining between the 23rd and 30th when luck was either at 100% or above for an entire straight week, and you were making more than you otherwise would have. Now we have hit a period where we are slightly below expected payouts and you rant and rant about being unhappy. Leave the pool then, no one is forcing you to stay here. You stay because it is the best pool, so take the variance like a man and be grateful that Bitmain provides a zero pool fee service for you to use. I would suggest learning about how blocks are found and understanding that it is based on luck, and then finding some online courses about statistics and why there is literally no reason to suspect anything based on the numbers from the last few days. come on we all know that there are people who will never be happy, they will eaither say below luck of 100% they are not running a farm but if it is always at 100% then other people will say they dont mine and just make payments. In eaither case i myself had not noticed the periods where they paid over 100% i sometimes dont log onto hashnest for like 3-5 days maybe longer depending on what i have going on And if over 100% they sit back and enjoy making more than they would otherwise. It's just funny how the complaints come out when we are in downtrends, but they are more than happy to receive additional pay. Also, to reiterate, there is absolutely nothing abnormal about the current luck. We are in a downtrend, but we are still over 100% for the 2 week and further period. So you are telling me that during the DDOS attack when all the external miners could not connect to the pool that you feel confident that their internal network was not compromised. Or the fact that part of Hashnest is now mining off of a satellite connection right now does not cause a problem.
a DDOS attack only redirects large amounts of traffic to a website to tie up the servers, there is no other hacking that goes on, so yes, I am very confident that nothing, "internal" was compromised. Now, if your saying that other things happened instead of or in conjuncture with a DDOS attack, then that is a possibility, but I am not sure what you think was/is affected, and if there is, why you don't sell your hash and withdraw. You of course have the option to leave, no one is keeping you there. Simply sell your hashrate if your unhappy with the service. The fact they are mining off a satelite connection is unfortunate, but I feel your just complaining to complain. They stated, quite transparently, there was a fire or whatever it was, and they got the farm back online while waiting for the connection to be fixed. Would you prefer they have done nothing and the farm just sitting there not hashing? |

that is 100% false. If bitcoin price goes down, then your contract may not complete if it costs more to run the units than the payout. Read the ToS, they will shut off payments for the PACMiC if it costs more to run than it generates, same as buying any of their other hashing power. At that point the contract is considered over. Ok. Let`s taking off the part of grounding prices. Indeed there`s a certain risk (like that one) or the skyrocket diff. So you`re right about the risk. Yes, there are risks, I agree with you, but your statement that no matter what you would get a return of your principal is not right and could leave people high and dry if they read that and don't do any further research. Also the, 'temporary" suspension is for 10 days, and if the conditions do not improve in time for your contract to again start working for you it is considered over, and no matter what happens in the future, your contract is done and will not start back up. |
