loss/theft was due to the exchanges incompetence, this is not the customers fault. If the theft was only 50k and this guy running an exchange cant pay 50k back, then he is a liar and has no business running this company.
I mean when the exchange is doing good, he is not sharing those profits with his customers. By the same token if his exchange is having problems then he shouldn't make the customers pay for it in any way.
People should show a little more anger, instead of thanking the guy for his incompetence
When you have a bit of experience in this business, you might show a little humility. You are a whingeing negative force.. that is more annoying IMO. Better to pull together and trust people's motives until really proven otherwise. and you Nancy are a Fairy boy living in a Fairy world... ...and this solves what? When D&T lambasts Tristan, it's with respect and detail. Not to start a fight amongst other users. I'm somewhat neutral here. I see the point of the PROGRAMMERS who say that Tristan should shut it down pending a rewrite and audit. I see the point of the customers who want it to stay up. And I see the point of Tristan trying to keep his business afloat after a major fuckup. It seems that the majority of his customers are ok with how he's handling it, despite the flaws, because he's been up front and honest about it. That goes a long way in my book, too. But I must defer to the programmers and experts as well, because I am not one and do want a secure exchange. But yelling at each other isn't going to change or help anything, nor does it add to the conversation. I think he should compromise. Give everyone a couple of days to withdraw, after suspending trading and deposits, and recode the thing. Then issue shares to help defray the costs of the rewrite, pay back everyone who was harmed in the hack and his solution, and reopen with a new and more secure platform. That way everybody wins in the medium to long term. Oh, and mount an external audit or two, just to be sure. He seems to have the good will of the community, so I do not think the above would harm his long term business prospects. On the contrary, it just might secure them. |

what did you use for the cage? mesh? solid material? chicken wire?
The shielding effect is determined largely by the size of the openings in the material. For example, if you want to shield for the 2.4GHz (microwave) range such as mobile phones, baby monitors, portable phones or wireless routers then ideally you would want to copy the mesh in a microwave oven as it's in the same frequency range - the openings are around 1mm, enough to see through, but small enough to block the 2.4GHz wavelength.
Additionally, some claim to gain benefit from grounding, but it isn't necessary.
Ideally the cage should enclose all 6 sides. And, even a small opening will permit signal to leak and be detected on the other side.
It was created to stop 0.5 meter wavelength human beings and is 5/6 sides  HA!! - that's hillarious. Hey, I got one of those roaming around the house causing all sorts of chaos! Does the cage work? |

In AMT's defense, the 80GH miner is great. It uses 140W at the wall. I did remove it from the case, and unplugged the case fan, which i'm sure saves at least 10-20W.
So thats only about double what they promise on their website. Yeah. I did post that, it just wasn't in the video. It draws between 140 and 170, depending on how you tweak the settings. |

i genuine think AMT will deliver. I think they under estimated the whole thing and trying to dig out. Its not a good place to be in for them or us.
Its easy to be negative here but try being supportive i believe it can go alone way.
Good luck to anyone who files a suite. All they have to do is deliver and you have no case all that time wasted.
I don't think you can file a suite. Bad joke aside, I hope you're right. But they have moved the goal post so many times it's hard to have any faith anymore. |

Make sure it hasn't flipped over to your secondary or tertiary pool and one of those isn't Eligius. I have my miners set up to mine Mazacoin and Benjamins in the unlikely event that Eligius is actually down.
All good here, or I'd be mining UNO. Might put the ones you're talkin' in pretty soon, but I've been rock steady at Eligius even with all the front end troubles. Only time I was down was due to lightning tripping the local grid last night  That only lasted a few minutes. |
|
|
|
Also, I was going to post in the AMT site forum, but can't seem to find it. I could have sworn there was supposed to be one today.
Damn, there's something new. AMT not updating their site/user portal/news... |
|
|
|
|
Huh. My stats are pretty well in line with what Cgminer is reporting. Must be a location thing. I don't know where Eligius is located (server, I mean) but I never seem to have any trouble connecting even when the stats are fubar.

I have to admit, this thread is so much more fun without having to put up with all them assholes that now have me on ignore. Thanks, guys! You's the bestest!
You're too much fun to ignore, damn you! This asshole is enjoying the show, even if you did dredge up my name. BTW, check your PM's in a few minutes. I apologize about that one post I believe is in question, and was thinking about not quoting it only because some of it concerned you, but there was way too much fodder in it for me to pass it up. At this speaking, I have no qualms with you, bud. ~Bruno Kucinskas PS: Looks like I'm a stand-up comedian with an audience of one. Hope you paid full price for the ticket to the show that never ends--come inside, come inside. PSS: I was going for 20 posts in a row on this thread till you came along and fucked it up.  ...there behind the glass, it's a real blade of grass, move along, move along.. No worries, it's not like it was ever hidden from my side. Mistakes were made. Given the same info I had, I still would have taken it. I just wish things had turned out better. I do feel bad getting a product that others paid for ahead of them, if at all. |

So basically they will get rich and be ballin' from the exchange fees they rake in everyday, but it won't affect EAC in any way and EAC will still be dead like every other alt...
I am not really a FOREX trader. I see the value of a currency in a different light. EAC is hard to obtain right now unless you are ALREADY into Crypto. With Incryptex, (as I understand it) you have a gateway by which anyone with fiat can purchase coins. This gives us fresh blood that's sorely needed. Right now, it's hard to buy crypto with fiat. You have to buy BTC, post it up on an exchange, exchange it for the coin(s) you want.. it's a huge hassle. Get some merchants with EAC as their default coin. Get an exchange where Joe Schmuck can prop down a VISA and buy it, then go purchase things with it. Put it out in everybody's face. Who cares if it *also* benefits other alts? We got more going than most of them as far as I'm concerned. |

Hey I think there was again some misdirection with the rumour and conjecture hehe. It is ripe in this community. Detectives that really are not detectives. I know Norb of course, and on the splash page he decided to place EAC/USD or something like that and so rumour began hehe. There was no plan for Incryptex to be an exchange for EAC. We know one another. I am simply an investor in it that's all. He did and we have spoke. But an idea is an idea. I asked him for some structure. Who uploads the images, and sources them? How is it administered such that he/she is not telling their friends what the answer is? who doles out the prize each week, how much is the prize. How is it determined? Time and date stamped?
An idea is great. It requires administration and execution now. If you can put that together we of course would implement it. It is a great idea to expand the brand and include new people. Any idea like this is great.
Hey Wes, is the incryptex exchange and also the big secret project that was supposed to make EAC worth $1 each all gone now? Was John in charge of all that? Hmm, so the big secret project is no more, and incryptex will not be offering EAC/USD... Darn, and here I was thinking EAC/USD would be the best way to make EAC worth something because EAC and every other alt is basically tied to BTC I have a small bag i'm just gonna hold till EAC dies or it'll be worth something. I'm prepared for the worst though =( The whole alt-coin scene is game over it looks like... EAC has nothing to offer over any other scrypt coin, it's a WorldCoin clone, which is a LiteCoin clone =/ I think you misunderstand. It's not that it won't have it, it's that it will not be LIMITED to EAC/USD. They are going for a HUGE trading platform, both fiat and crypto. I'm not an insider, so I don't know how huge, but the hints I've gotten are pretty intense. Cryptsy better step up or take a bow. |

Hi the Eligius site seem to be down as well as the stats page?
Pool is still working according to my miner. |
|
|

Actually, it's no worry. IIRC, he said it was just the case and they'd show the rest in a few days. As for the fat frog, well, I'm just glad I didn't get caught. Sympathy for you guys  |
|
|
|
Ooops, failsafe. And so it begins, again. Definitely working on this code more when I get home. Anyway, caught it already and CPPSRB is catching up. As soon as funds mature they're out to you guys. I think you need to rewrite the monitoring bits. Right now, it CLEARLY knows when you are away! |

@ Biffa the only reason I mailed him was to make sure we got this information. Its something a company is meant to do if you have the right to cancel. However if you don't have that right (yes there are some reasons you would not and I was concerned about a particular loophole) then the company is not obliged to inform you of this.
So TLDR: asked for information and he gave it to me and I now have a record of it for myself I believe that essentially yes I have the right to cool off.
Why this information is not already on the website? Ask Chris as it should be available to all customers.
Guy probably hates me but I just don't want to get screwed again.
Still until sufficient evidence pictures (mining porn) turn up it should be assumed we have paid for vaporware.
Doubt very much that he hates you. The tone of the email came off more to me like, "Oh, damn, there's another detail we missed". He didn't hedge. That's good. Frankly, they are seeming more legit to me by the day. Of course, that and five bucks will get you a latte, so take it for what it's worth |

I've been reading this thread since last week, took me a week since my last catch up at page 86..... calm down AMT, it doesn't need to reply all negatives which is quite stressing and it never helps any of it. From the beginning, people demand for pictures (picture at pg 80~90, somewhere at 130 & latest at 155), then video, location & so on... eventually they will just non-stop bashing... so just ignore them, and keep up posting the progress like what others official companies do, hopefully with more photos, video, tracks & etc... replying the thread with long post(& caplocks) is painful to read...  Sorry guys, i just hope to see updates on my miners in this thread instead of spams...

Not to be trite or offensive...but let's try to leave this type of nonsense out of the forums.
Mining at 6 khash or 30 khash or however many droplets you may have for anything other than a CPU/quark-based coin is a foolish endeavor and although I think it is nice that you have created a guide in this exercise for user's to benefit from; trying to gouge other users through referral, possibly targetted at the newbie/beginner community does nothing but hurt the reputation of bitcointalk and the type of people that we have here.
If it is indeed true that you do not want to spend money on a GPU and would rather just use credit for mining, there are choices that are orders of magnitude better than what is possible with DigitalOcean, Amazon GPU spot instances and initial $25/$100 credit for instance - even at their elevated rates; while still by no means profitable are still a much better value at ~200 kh/s.
But then, again if you are simply focusing on using these free credits as to not have to put out your own money...it's not a sustainable approach anyways - if your true belief is in the coin and it's speculative value, then you would be much better served just buying the coin outright whether it be once it hits an exchange early or even before in one of the organized spreadsheets.
Anyways let's try to bring true value to the community; and if you are indeed just trying to show an exercise of how you used cloud computing to do this, that is great; and indeed useful to others, but let's not pollute it with referral links and endorse it to the community when it is a clear losing proposition.
All the best and happy holidays,
Altminer77
I think I'd like to dispute this a bit. I can't really dispute your facts in regards to profit. Either way, actually, as I have not tried this. I might. And the "why" of that is why this thread adds value to the forum. First, I want to say to Virtualdn and the audience, that I got NO issue with trying to make a buck via referrals, as long as you're not being deceptive about it. I'm actually highly in favor of this model, as my sig demonstrates. But that's an aside. Why would I do this, even thinking it's likely to be unprofitable from a purely monetary standpoint? I can think of several reasons. 1. Entertainment. I get off learning new ways to do things, even if they aren't necessarily the BEST way to do it. 2. You might like the coin, but not have the resources to devote to it. (For the purposes of full disclosure, I have just been invited to join the development team of Earthcoin. However, I mean this item generically.) 3. potential profit via referral. A bunch of small income streams can equal a better living, which can equal a better lifestyle. Those seeking poverty or who do not want others to profit, well have fun with that. 4. Education. You can screw up really badly for five bucks and only be out five bucks. I could probably think of more, but I'm drunk and that's enough for now. I'll probably be trying this in the next few days. If I don't make a profit, such is life. If I do, great. Either way, I'll have fun and learn some things. For me, that's value that you almost can't put a price on. |

Worked out a secure way to do a manual payout.
Majority of queue was paid, minus some blocks that are not yet confirmed. Stats should reflect this shortly.
278.49192020 BTC in manual payments applied to balances from tx 8ff569995ff56632309fcf968d2a30beda1140ede49f4460783a35f1b2f791b3

I will do another when more coins mature to 120+ confirms.
....And again Wizkid comes through, above and beyond the call of duty. I am so glad I chose to pay a fee to this pool |

Which ASIC maker isn't asking for money up front? No money no matter. Bitmain. Actually not. People have to pay first to Bitmain, then the devices are sent to them. You cannot get the miner delivered and pay for it later. I understand what you mean. The difference is they are sent immediately, so it is like buying in a shop, not like pre-ordering. Yet one cannot tell Bitmain isn't asking for money up front. Nevertheless they are shipping in hand units. Yeah, you can't get them on credit, but that's ok. Nobody is going to ship one to you for free and hope you'll pay. That's just asking to be scammed. |
