I have to disagree. Over the past week, I've made around 20 percent more by mining alts. But it does require a LOT more vigilance, and you lose out sometimes. The thing is you can't stick to just one, but you have to know when to jump. Or guess accurately.

It is fun, though

Plus, my piggies give me a steady bitcoin income.

@BleuTrade...

Thanks for trying. However, again you're not addressing where the bottleneck lies. I can't login to the system to do screen captures, as I've closed my account. I'm not willing to risk it, but as you are trying to address it, I'll be civil, and detailed.

The problem is not the buttons on the page, nor in getting to that point. That part is fairly obvious.

However, when you get to the withdraw page, it has NO indication of where to put your withdrawal address, and in the space which a user helped me find, it prepopulates with your email address, followed by password. This LOOKS like a verify page. To the right, it has a summary. This is actually pretty nice, as when you put in the amount of coins, it calculates payout right there.

However, the only part that is NOT confusing is where to put the money. Top. Next, it very much looks like, as mentioned, a username/password verification. In fact, that's where the withdrawal address needs to go. There is absolutely NOTHING on the page to indicate that. So, I clicked through thinking that it would then give me a way to enter an address. Instead, it says "Invalid Withdrawal address". My first ticket was about this, and the reply was what buttons to hit to get to the page I was already on, not the question I asked.

Another user told me that it went where the email address filled itself in. Which should have been addressed in the reply to my support ticket. I was angry, and said so. I also went back afterwards and said I was able to resolve it. But it goes on. After that point, when I put in an address and hit it, rather than saying "balance too low" or something to indicate that I had gotten it right, it simply said "invalid amount" or something like. Again, totally counter intuitive. That was the point where I figured I'd lost my coins, cuz I certainly wasn't going to risk any real money after that.

After a stong cup of coffee and a smoke, it occured to me that I now knew basically what it was doing, and that I was probably (though not ever explicitly said) under the withdrawal limit for bitcoin. So, figuring I had nothing to lose, I initiated a trade for BNS, which I was able to successfully withdraw.

So, no, I don't any longer think the exchange is a scam. I did at the time I amended that ticket, and I was feeling very much a fool for not having investigated you more before putting my coins on the block. But after getting some help from one of your users (exchanges that don't close do not have the luxury of having support hours, by the way.), I was able to resolve it. What I do think is that when you go live with sloppy documentation, that any sane person has to wonder what else you've been sloppy about.

I'm over it now. I'm not coming back, but I do offer this as constructive criticism. I have been on most of the major and minor exchanges, and prior to yours, NOT ONCE did I have any difficulty setting up my withdrawal or deposit information. You might think this minor, but it's not. It cost you a customer already. It probably cost you others, less vocal. We are trusting you with our valuable coin. If you look at the above, from my perspective, would YOU come back?

Think about it. I do apologize for blowing my stack, but not for my actions. I think I was correct.

From what I understand, a whole bunch of us (most of the team and ATXsilver) had a bunch of personal stuff come up all at once. To the best of my knowledge, he's live, well, and accumulating the majority of EAC.


Which reminds me: I've got some silver to buy 

That seems to be the case on all exchanges. Not sure what they're doing, but it takes significant resources. I had my resource monitor open when I opened cryptsy a couple days ago, and it pegged all four cores for a minute. Well, a few seconds.

It'd be nice to break away from that, make the value go up on it's own merit, not just BTC's fortunes.

I have a hard time addressing DOGE. It bothers me viscerally that a coin that was a joke, deliberately, became the third most known Crypto. But one can't argue with success, so all you DOGE fans, bring the ideas that work and put 'em to work.

Except the "doggy speak". Please leave that at home

I missed the launch, Dammit!

I wanted to see it go down in real time. I mine with asics, so this was not going to happen for me. But I was too busy to watch in real time.

Nicely done, forgetme!

Also glad to see you stopped engaging the trolls. 10 pools lickety-split. Looks like you got yourself a competitive coin here.

@cryptzilla

Regarding solo mining, I did everything in your list, and couldn't get it working. For reasons I don't understand, whenever I put a raw i.p. into the web interface on my miner, it adds "http://" even if I preface the ip with "tcp://", so it just won't do it. I think this is an issue with the miner control board's firmware. Everything else worked. Got it listening on the right port etc. Is the addy in your sig correct?

That would be nice.

Cryptsy takes a lot of heat, some of it deserved. Their site pegs all four cores when I load it, and that's annoying. But they are quick, easy to use, and well documented.
BITTREX has also been very easy to use, though they could use some volume <hint, hint> Same with CryptoAltex. I've only used ALLcoin a few times, and they too were easy to use and quite responsive.

Overall my experience with exchanges has been good. Sorry I blasted Bleutrade so hard, but they need to step up if they don't want to step out.

Our overall goal with the team is to get more people adopting EAC as their commercial coin. If we can get lots of merchants on board, then the exchanges will get lively by synergistic forces. As long as exchange to bitcoin is all the coin gets used for, it's going to stay very cheap. It's total amount is aimed at dollar parity, though that's clearly a long term goal.

If you know of or are a merchant who would be willing to accept EAC, either fully or as partial payment, contact me, or Cryptozark, Or Centurion. We'll assist in any way we can.

looks nice!

I did finally get it to accept my address, no thanks at all to their alleged support. Now it says "invalid value" instead of invalid address. I don't know if this means I'm below the withdrawal threshold, or what. It's a piddling small amount, and they are no damn good with documentation. I'm on several exchanges, and none of the rest are vague about procedure. I figure if they're this sloppy with documentation and support, they are dangerous to trade with. I'll write off the small change, and close my account. Your mileage may vary.


EDIT: I did, finally, find where the payout thresholds are (poorly) documented, and that does appear to be the "invalid value" issue. I further decided, I might as well make one more go at getting my money out before writing it off. So, I traded the btc for BNS, and that I was able to withdraw. I have initiated closing my account with Bleutrade, and I shan't ever go back. But in the end, it was resolved thanks to the users of the site. The owners appear not to care, or at least didn't bother to respond. An exchange with this poor of documentation makes you wonder what other shortcuts they took. They don't appear to be a scam, but I wouldn't touch 'em with a ten foot pole after this.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I get the withdraw button just fine. There just ain't no place to put in a bitcoin address. Hit the button anyway, it tells you invalid address (duh?). Opened a ticket, they told me to hit the withdraw button and then ignored me in chat. So I reopened the ticket with bolded text and strong language.

Maybe they're not scamming and just don't bother to read their tickets. The amount I risked was pretty minimal, so I can afford the loss. But it's still irritating. Hopefully they'll resolve it. If they do I'll update, but in the meantime I'm calling shenanigans.

Be very wary of Bleutrade. I can't find any way to put in a payout address there, and they are answering anything but the question I asked. I risked a trivial amount, so it's not a big loss. But what if it had been?

CAVEAT EMPTOR.

anecdotally, it seems the problem is mainly with windows then. odd.

Ok, Walked away for a few days, got my head straight, realized I was still fascinated, bought a few coins (at a higher price than I sold ) and am still having issues. Don't worry, I'm calm this time. Won't freak like I did last time.

So, to those of you still having the syncing problems, are you all running Windows? Raskul got it to sync and stake once he got a Mac wallet. Me, I'm not long enough in to know if I'll stake this time, but I do still have to pretty much brutalize the wallet to get it to sync, and then it slowly drifts out. Running Windows 7.

You shouldn't beg, it's unbecoming. And you didn't differ.

It's the OS that makes it appear less... as in the OS takes up some of the storage space. More or less depending on a number of factors. Formatting IS part of the operating system.

~70% is nothing to sneeze at.

We're certainly trying!

Thanks for the support!

hadn't thought of it, but it seems a ridiculously good idea!

EDIT: I posted it up for the team in our dev chat. We'll see if we got what it takes.
