I cannot recommend highly enough that you ditch Google's authenticator and use Authy (www.authy.com). It allows you to connect up your desktop and your mobile devices so that if you lose one of them to disaster you can still recover the situation easily. It is far more versatile an app.

The Google 2fa 'backup' codes are only for your Google account, not for any of the services you had registered on the Authenticator and the 'transfer to new device'? Same thing, just for your Google 2fa.

No, it is *not* 'how it works'. Bitcoin is SHA256, ASIC miners designed to mine SHA256 can only mine SHA256. Litecoin is Scrypt, ASIC miners designed to mine Scrypt can only mine Scrypt.

Here, scrypt.cc's claimed 850GH/s of Scrypt mining has already been proven to be a lie: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102560.0

Will this be the same 'reverse psychology' that has him unable to offer up any rebuttal to the fact he's a proven liar? Is he afraid of the math?

If your beloved 'Marcelo' afraid of math? Surely not, after all, he's more than used to manipulating the numbers on the screen and selling you 'KHS' he is simply pulling out of his ass.

scrypt.cc is operating under a proven lie and you lot are cheering the scammers on. SMH.

I didn't 'try to prove', I proved conclusively: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102560.0

Have no idea what you are talking about.


That's not math, moron, that's speculative opinion about attitudes, utterly useless. Try countering the proven math. I fucking dare you to, I double-dare you, I mother-fucking triple-dare you to prove the math wrong and explain how 'Admin' could be hiding 850GH/s of Scrypt mining in the entire Scrypt coin network.

Scams generally don't have to give a shit about any of you because you're all just mugs to them. The math already proves this to be a fraudulent operation, trying to twist reality by talking about the 'Admin' and his attitude, as though that magically makes it not a scam, is asinine.

Try asking your God, 'Admin' to answer to the fact that it has been mathematically proven he is lying.

We know that scrypt.cc can't possibly have 850GH/s of Scrypt miners https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102560.0

How big is the claimed scrypt hashrate of the other scams?

Kinda interesting to note how many of these cloudmining sites entering into 'awkward' mode began in November last year, which also happens to be when Scrypt.cc came back with a vengeance.

Add in the Ukrainian scammy 'monitoring' website, cmmonitor, and I'm pretty confident that these services are all being run by the same gang.


[edit] Actually, no, I just thought I'd do a quick fact-check and scrypt.cc was pretty much in idle mode for most of last year up until 'Admin' posted his "I was hospitalised 9 months ago, then I got better, then I travelled the world buying the latest mining equipment, now I'm back" in mid-February of this year. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=444495.700

So all those who claim that scrypt.cc must be legit because they've been running since February of 2014, nope, they didn't start doing the serious push for 'investors' until February of 2015.

Translation: We have added some more numbers to the numbers-on-the-screen(tm) we are conjuring up out of nowhere, so now you idiots can send us even more money that we'll use to pay others out with.

Here, let me bring you up to speed with the actual facts:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102560.0

There is no room in the entire Scrypt coin network for 850Gh of unknown miners that aren't already accounted for. Mathematical proof is there.

They are lying about having 850Gh of Scrypt miners, they are lying about having 500Gh of Scrypt mining, the 500Gh they have already sold to scryptards. Does this sound like the actions of a viable investment scheme?

Shill harder, shill.

TL;DR Version

"UK Digital Futures Ltd" comes into his bct thread and posts how they are 'investing' heavily in the coin and have been for the past year
UK Companies House records show the company was only incorporate less than two weeks ago
When asked how they can have been investing for so much longer than they have existed or, for that matter, if they are a licensed investment company my posts are rapidly deleted by Travis, twice.
But it may have been more to do with their rather odd claims towards how they were going to move from decentralised to centralised and provide a cryptocurrency 'bank' that might have been the reason for the deletion because,
drum roll please
It would apppear that a Mr Resad Hassan, who admits to having NO technical knowledge whatsoever, is under the impression that Trav is super-trustworthy, you know, the coin is called TRUSTplus, after all. Travis, however, doesn't appear to have mentioned to Resad and his 'investors' (who are off the building sites he works on, BTFW!), that owning 50% of a PoS coin and centralising it will pretty much destroy that coin instantly. Nobody will want to use it, I don't think I need to explain why here.

Prior to this he had managed to find a clever maths PhD who was using the coin to create some kind of transaction-fog-based anon-but-not-actually-anon-anon, which didn't really seem to serve a purpose but reminded me of Josh's super-flux-hyperchain-thing because it sounded clever rather than anything else, anyhoo, this latest event of roping in some Indian 'investment' fella by painting a less-than-honest picture of the realities of cryptocurrency, is *so* much in the Homero play-book it is absurd.

Oh-em-gee it seems that Josh-Lite (Travis Mitchell) has persuaded his 'budget-Rishabh' 'investor' to buy over 50% of his PoS coin, thereby rendering it instantly worthless.

Relevance to XPY? Travis Mitchell is the founder of talk.paycoin.com

I think he is claiming that a withdrawal of 112 BTC arrived in his Trezor (hardware wallet).

Not sure if he's saying he asked for it 2-3 days ago or he is intending to send it back in to the scam in 2-3 days.

Either way, it is irrelevant, its all part of the merry-go-round process of letting some customers receive funds on the basis that they'll be convinced it is not a scam and send it back in for MOAR PROFETS!!!1!1!1!!elebenty!1!1!

Ooh, sharp rebuttal! Clever you, you! (btw, it's "you're" not "your")


Nope. Couldn't be more wrong. Yet again.


How about we just revisit what 'Marcelo' posted himself?

So you've decided that not only are you going to believe they own 850GH/s-worth of Scrypt ASIC mining hardware, you are asserting they aren't actually going to bother turning on 350GH/s of their 'latest batch'?

As has been pointed out to you before, you clearly know fuck-all about mining.

But, here's the thing my slow-of-thought little friend, let's just pretend, as I have generously done so with the mathematics of the analysis of the Scrypt mining networks, that ALL of the top twenty coins are being mined by Scrypt.cc alone (I know you're hard-of-thinking but that truly is an absurd accommodation given that their hashrate can be accounted for by their own public pools but, hey, I'm trying to make things *real* fucking simple for you), even THEN, it doesn't come anywhere near the required 500GH/s.

Let me show you the 'magic':

See this?

Let's see what happens if you change the first number from 850 to 500, will it blend now?

500GH/s of Scrypt
-12GH/s - 'Unknown' on LTC
-28GH/s - The entire network hashrate of the top 8 Scrypt coins
-15GH/s - The entire network hashrate of the remaining top 20 Scrypt coins
---------
445GH/s

Are you getting it yet, slow-poke?

Even if we allow for the greatest mental gymnastics you want to insist have to be accounted for, we are *still* hugely out of space for their claimed Scrypt hashpower.

Dude, seriously, stop arguing about facts to do with Scrypt mining when you clearly know fuck-all about the topic.

Yeah I remember your last foray into this thread, getting all pissy with the facts that were being posted. You even managed to display quite how ignorant you are, too. Care for a reminder?


Do I need to explain again just how ignorant your reply shows you to be?

Do you want to keep going with your ignorance concerning the 850Gh/s of Scrypt that scrypt.cc claim to have and how, according to your most recent idiocy, they are only mining with 500GH/s? Because you're just going to show the level of stupid you possess if you do.

There is no dragon in my garage and there are no miners mining for xscrypt. The angry assertions otherwise are from those who have to provide the evidence to support their claims as to the existence of same.


Congratulations! You win, "Understatement of the Year!" for that absolute loss of perspective on the realities of 'cloud mining' services in this industry.

Let me give you a clue, it rhymes with, "The majority of cloudmining companies are actually fractional mining/ponzi scams".


Except, of course, that isn't the situation at all. What it is, instead, is one whereby a business tells you they are operating a batch of miners you can 'buy contracts' for, except they won't do anything to prove they have the hardware apart from citing the 'numbers on the screen' typical ponzi flags, such as claiming they have made 'payouts' regularly. Really? You dumb enough to accept a dismissal of requests for proof of mining by claiming it is the equivalent of asking to see a company's bank accounts? It isn't anything like asking to see a company's bank accounts.

Here, let me show you:

Awesome rebuttal. "So SHUT UP", counts as a reasoned counter-assertion now?

BTW, why don't you try reading the actual text of my signature, hell, you can even click through to it if you want. I think you'll find my conscience is clear.


No proof, no attempt to get proof, just accept his word.

One small problem, however, it is ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE to show proof of mining without showing the hardware, giving location or any other miner details whatsoever.

Show the freshly-mined block-rewards.

It isn't a difficult issue, it doesn't require any other information be given. There are no excuses for you not doing it.

Right, so you believe that ad-hominem speculative accusations that people who post facts exposing these frauds which are harmful to the whole cryptocurrency community, are actually just wanting to create fraudulent schemes themselves, is a reasonable rebuttal to their valid assertions?

Do you even logic, brah?

While you're all being shuffled around with who can login/trade/withdraw etc. as they monitor whether there's enough coming back in to keep the scam going, perhaps one of you would be kind enough to ask, 'Admin' in the trollbox for his rebuttal of the provable fact they are not mining with 850GH/s of Scrypt?

Facts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102560.0

I'd be interested to hear whether they'd try and continue to lie in the face of indisputable mathematical fact, or just ban you.

 

Wow. Just. Wow.

You stole millions of dollars from people, intentionally misleading them into believing that XPY was something other than just a proof-of-stake clone coin, repeating over and over again promise after promise of major brand collaborations and even telling your Indian friend-with-banking-difficulties that Cantor Fitzgerald were going to launch their own exchange with XPY as a base currency, encouraging more money to be 'invested' and then . . .it all turned out to be the lies we knew they were.

To complain that the people you ripped off and those in the cryptocurrency field who despise fraudsters who perpetrate these scams and further damage a burgeoning industry, are 'opressing', 'tormenting' and 'hounding' you while you run about the place living large and posting 'golly-gee we're so awesome!' social media updates persistently, is just monumentally outrageous an insult to your victims.

Your arrogant stupidity is breathtaking.
