For anyone who wonders about it, 20 minutes talking in an office is only time for a big bribe, not time to significantly impress a skeptic that the business operation is on the up n up. Especially without visiting any sort of manufacturing facility.

Personally, I think this is the worst thing that could happen to the community. I watched this happen, the "price" that AMT_ put on Phin's head, the sudden 180 Phin made almost directly after that, the friendly talk to and fro and the video. It is kind of sickening, really. And scary.
Brilliant tactics, I have to admit (divide et impera and all that) but scary nonetheless.

I still don't think AMT_ is a fraudulent operation, albeit they do possess certain qualities thereof. I just think they went in over their heads. Now they're doing patchwork (giving mblackout their miner, "convincing" Phin it's all allright) -which is a classic sign of the lack of business knowledge, take out the critic instead of address the reason for the criticism- but they're still not shipping miners. Nor are they refunding (we demanded a refund two weeks ago, and the only answer was "sorry no refunds your miner will ship this week -which was two weeks ago Smiley )

They're answering some questions on the forum, but nothing concrete. So, still, nothing's changed, really.
Who will stand up and take Phin's position?

That video creeped me out. Till I hear directly from Bruno, I'm withholding judgment altogether.

Yeah, Bittrex is live with BNS. Not much volume yet. Opened up at 1000 satoshis, but last trade was I think 200.

EarthCOin Pool started today,

earth.coinpoolpros.com

Thanks for supporting us!

I like the blockfinder reward idea. I always feel a little screwed when I find a block with my measly rig and don't get nothing extra. I know that's illogical and basically wrong, but still, this is cool Cheesy See you when I get my gridseeds!

Meanwhile, in my official capacity, Team Earthcoin is glad to have you!

Haha awesome pic Pickaxe!

Don't you hate when these scammers go dark or silent.  At least put up a decent fight or throw us more fake pictures.

their imagination didn't extend to anything more than an empty box with inverse wires hanging out.
would have liked to at least see what was attached to the other end of those wires!

Well, if they were AMT I'd say electrical tape...

Good lord I hope you have help, you could throw your back out trying to haul him to the van.


Da Fuq?

EDIT. That BETTER be a fuckin' Joke. Bruno was one of the first people to be welcoming to me in the bitcoin community. While I think his methods are overkill, he's good people.

Very much so. Would also be willing to contribute some content and/or edit to make things friendly for the non technical. It's a line I'm pretty good at straddling.

I am trying to change the default payout and it doesn't seem to be taking, I set it for .1 and on the right pane it still shows the standard default and time frame. I tried setting it to the minimum, below default and the same thing. Left it there for a bit and it seems no pay out was initiated. If one were to want to withdraw all coins regardless of the amount, above minimum, how would they go about this?

Thanks for reading.

Did you use the your BTC address to sign the message allowing the changes to be saved?

Quote right from the page:
"You must use a bitcoin client which supports standard signatures for your mining address to sign options!"

I would guess you didn't read the entire page.

So unless my client allowed signed messages I could never withdraw all my coin? I did read that but mother of all fuck ups assumed I was fine giving this pool a test run.

As far as I know all clients allow signed messages, except for maybe a couple of online services. Not even sure of that, since I know you could do it with Empty Gox and that you can with Blockchain.info. I think I can do it from Coinbase as well, though I haven't checked since I only use them as an exchange.

At any rate, if you can prove your address to Wizkid's satisfaction, I'm sure he can arrange something. I'd contact him.

I've been holding since the coin first came out. I'm still expecting great things out of this coin.

We're getting things rolling. To make it big takes time. By all means, any of you with big and small ideas, go to it. Don't wait for us, as the coin and it's message belong to everyone. But we shan't keep you waiting too long Cheesy

All,

   We are working on the new wallet, will be released soon. There still are some bugs need to fixed.
   
   No worry,we are always here.

Good to hear. Is there any assistance the community can offer you? And as an aside, keep us posted, even if it's just a placeholder like this. People worry.

Me, I'm out some electricity. I would like to see it work out, but I won't be getting out the pitchforks Cheesy

You, Loshia, and Puppet. Live and learn. Blew two caps, and according to some experts, probably a power regulator and a transistor that don't appear damaged. The ASICs are apparently unharmed, as is most of the board. I've never done rework on a SMT board. I might try, though. I miss my 1/2 miner Tongue

That is a manufacturing issue, of the components, and if they allow it, they should at-least give you a replacement board for a decent price. That, or fix it for free. I realize it was free, but it is an after-market component, which I am sure they would be able to get coverage for, from the people they obtained it from. Minus the cost of shipping.

As bad as they've been to paying customers, they were good to me. I'm very upset with them for NOT following through on their word to you guys, who actually paid for your units. I hope that nobody bought based on me getting a review unit, because of that.

But I can't in good conscience ask for a replacement for a piece of equipment I got out of line, and free. I got some good use out of it, I had fun doing it. I'm ok with that. And I might get to learn how to do DIY SMT solder work as well. I used to do very fine solder work back when that meant like .05 mm through the board. I've never done SMT, it looks interesting.

Before AMT even considers my existence again, they need to make all of their PAID customers whole. Anything else is unacceptable.

The AMT 1.2TH plate looks like shit but if it functions then who gives a shit.

I like it, it looks pretty cool, looks better in person.  But you have a point.  the unit is hashing does it really matter what it looks like.  nope

How fast is it hashing? Any idea of it's power draw?

I am relieved that they did actually make the things. I've not been real happy with the drama I got myself in here Cheesy

Actually, that brings up a few more questions: Are the boards AMT with A1 chips, or are they Bitmine.ch, Technobit, Huh Ok, I know they aren't Technobit cuz Martin already said so.
It has 5 blades... At 300gh each maybe giving it 1.5 not sure... Hopefully that's the case. How's your unit holding up bio?

One of the cards went south on me yesterday. Trying to determine if it's fixable. I started a thread about it in custom hardware... but it blew sparks out of a couple of capacitors, one of which is now a crater. The PSU shut down before much was damaged, at least. I suspect the card had issues for a while, since the other one running solo is consistently doing about 45 GH/s now, whereas the total between them was rarely over 80. Really solidly AT 80 until yesterday Sad

Martin of Technobit has said it probably overheated because of insufficient heatsinks and being in a tight case. I should have taken people's advice and ran 'em in the open air to begin with. Oh well, live and learn. I may be able to repair it, or sell it cheap to somebody who can. Sucks losing half my hashrate, though.

I told ya it was too hot for them in that tiny, poorly ventilated case.  Sucks to hear yours blew.  sounds like what happened when i first got mine.

Nice to see an active dev.

i heard from somewhere you can easily set your blocks from like 1000 premine blocks to the First  block in order to hide the premines.

I don't think this is actually possible, as the reward would show up in the blockchain.

Hardcore's up now!

Nice wallet, too Bonuscoin. Not as cheesy as the screenshots looked Cheesy


Lol, we aim to please!

That came off very snide. Sorry, just typing faster than thinking. The screenshots looked... cartoony. The actual wallet looks cool. I particularly like having the console as a tab rather than being under "help" like every other QT implementation I've seen.

My little rig didn't get me much on the launch, plus I had problems with Hardcore (probably on my end, my device is picky), but I did have a lot of fun. Thanks!

2317  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ⚒[CGA] Cryptographic Anomaly - The Elusive Coin⚒ on: March 27, 2014, 09:51:39 AM
hey again,

what is the difference or benefit of joining a pool with a fee as opposed to a pool with no fee?

I don't mine CGA, because I have an ASIC device rather than a scrypt mining rig. So this is generic rather than specific to CGA. Most of my bitcoin mining has been at a zero fee pool, Eligius, where I still donate 1 percent because the guy running it is a fuckin' hero.

On alts, I always make sure that I'm either mining for a fee or I have a set donation. I'm a small timer, so it's usually one percent. My reasoning behind this is that something you pay for has more value to you, and to the vendor. If something goes wrong, I want the pool op to be making something off of the venture so that he has skin in the game. Eligius is the only exception I would make, and that based solely on my experience. And I do pay them Cheesy

I have mined at a couple of zero fee pools. They either sat on my coins for a really long time, or were just generally unmaintained. Fee based pools tend to, in my opinion, be more apt to customer service. Cuz if you go elsewhere, they lose.

YMMV.

p.s. I'm not far from where you are right now in my crypto journey Cheesy All this was very new to me not long ago. Welcome to the Digital Frontier!

Over a thousand watt, a brain dead airflow design and just one fan that does anything useful. Good luck with that. Biomech's little 80GH miner lasted what, 2 months? Im giving this 2 weeks tops before something fries.

well, half of it still works... OUT of the case!

Wish I could say you were wrong.
