haven't KfC shut their farm down yet


Things would have to get a lot worse for them to power off all the neptunes that were meant to be shipped to the rightful owners.

You will note however, that even KnC has not shut off their miners, despite considerably worse efficiency. Clearly they still think its operationally profitable.

That assumption is based on the fact they are still using the Jupiters, the reality is that their farm is full of the customer neptunes they are refusing to ship.

They might not be a ponzi, but they are scam artists of the highest order.

Thanks for the rental, as far as I can see everything is set correctly.

Sent my address to a few ppl for local pick , none turned up . . .

I was going to offer to come down and buy all the SP31's, but after some research it's so obviously a scam.

The webpage says...
Before you buy, Google us and see what people are saying, with a link to....

https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=aplexfarm&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=title&safe=images&tbs=&as_filetype=&as_rights=&gws_rd=ssl

A quick glance shows loads of very similar posts on various non btc forums raving about you, all on the same day and all since removed.

But I'll make you a deal...
We both deposit BTC5 each with an escrow (squall1066 or SebastianJu), I'll drive down to your address tomorrow to buy them all, if I fail to turn up you keep my BTC5 and if you turn out not to have the machines I keep your BTC5

If you are legit you have nothing to lose, so what do you say ?

when i saw that prize ( 0,0005) a friend of mine said to me ' thats very cheap'
so i boyght 1200 gH/S
Than prize drop to 0,0003 in 24 hours
i lost half of my money in 24 hour Sad

I'd like to thank Bitmain for having a broken website and slow customer service dept, or I would have been in the same boat.

At the 0.0005 it was a good deal, and I transferred in a decent amount of BTC to purchase on New Years Day.  Sadly when I tried to buy it wouldn't accept my password.  I eventually realised that what they actually meant was a trade pin, but as my account had been imported from the Bitmain site I had never received one.

So I used the reset trade pin option, having received nothing by email after an hour I tried again, and after another hour of nothing I put in a support ticket.

2 days later my email(s) finally arrived, and the day after that CS replied, by which time the market had crashed and I just withdrew my BTC.

So thanks again Bitmain, that was a lucky escape Smiley

I have found a temporary solution from this post, in case anyone else runs into this issue.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=590592.msg6483604#msg6483604

I would still like to know what the cause is, I even took a spare hard disk and did a fresh install of 14.10, and it does exactly the same thing, I also tried it on 14.04.1 and 12.04 with the same result

I can also replicate the issue on the fresh install by downloading any precompiled linux coin for example dogecoin
https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases



307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Problem compiling with all autogen.sh type wallets. on: January 02, 2015, 11:17:34 AM
Did you chmod +x the bitcoind and bitcoin-qt?
I did try that and no difference, like I said they run from the command line.

I've looked through the config.log that isn't showing any serious errors.
What is a "serious" error? I was under the impression that an error of any seriousness will cause configure to abort without producing a makefile.
I'm new to linux but from what I read some minor errors are common during the configure process as it then generates an appropriate makefile, by nothing serious I meant there were no warnings about missing files or packages.

This has made a little progress, the bitcoind and the bitcoin-qt files are now appearing in the coin-name/src directory but I can't click to run them as it appears they are not executable.  They will however run from the terminal.
Some file managers do not use the executable flag to determine if a particular file is executable, instead they attempt to determine the file format, which seems to fail on certain types of ELF binaries, with the file manager thinking the executable is instead a shared library, despite the flags. This is a bug which should be reported to developers of the file manager in question (if it isn't already reported).
This seems to be close to what the problem is, if I double click on the files I get this



but my gut still tells me that it's missing doing something at the end that would solve this, and put the files in the original directory


308  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Problem compiling with all autogen.sh type wallets. on: January 01, 2015, 11:01:59 PM
I decided to re-purpose one of my old mining machines to run as a server for all the coin daemons.

It's running Ubuntu 14.10 and I've compiled lots of normal qt wallets and daemons that use this usual method
Code:
Daemon
make -f makefile.unix USE_UNPNP=-

QT
qmake "USE_UNPNP=-"
make

However I have not been able to get a single one of these  types to work and I've tried about 10 different coins
Code:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

What happens is that everything runs through fine, but at the end there is no bitcoind or bitcoin-qt

I've scoured the web but not managed to come across anyone with the same problem. I've checked numerous times that all the required packages are there,  I've looked through the config.log that isn't showing any serious errors.

I've done a manual install of the Berkley 4.8 DB and by using the following command
Code:
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include -O2" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib"

This has made a little progress, the bitcoind and the bitcoin-qt files are now appearing in the coin-name/src directory but I can't click to run them as it appears they are not executable.  They will however run from the terminal.

I presumed that both files would end up in the coin-name directory, so it appears like it's failing to do something at the end.

Anybody any clues ?
309  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [BitAffNet] How we're the #1 Bitcoin Mining Pool In The World (proof inside) on: December 28, 2014, 11:41:22 PM
I'm always cautious though with pools and anything bitcoin. It's a risky business and I have been shafted before buy a pool operator who declared the pool closed due to losses. They then reopened later but would not pay anyone back for earned shares from the old pool.
So I worry when I see ongoing security issues.

I've been on the pool solid for about 4.5 months now, except when my rigs are rented out.

I don't worry about it and run away everytime there has been a problem, as they have always been sorted quickly. Getting 10% extra for months means most people are NOT going to lose anything even if the worst did happen which is very unlikely IMHO.

No-one has received bonus miners, they are probably in the knc data centre

I like cheap gadgets so figured I'd pick one of these up.

Arrived Christmas Eve so was an early present for me, so here are my initial thoughts.

Wow it's tiny, I know there are pictures but it still suprised me Smiley

I had some initial trouble generating new bitcoin addresses on the device.  Eric told me via support that once a payment is received it will generate a new address but for me this wasn't working it kept giving me the same one. I just tried it again a couple of days later and now it has, so not sure what happened there.

As the device can have multiple addresses there needs to be a way to view them in the chrome plugin, currently you can only see a list of transactions.  As someone who uses blockchain.info would appreciate an option to view a list of addresses and their balance (and I think it's on the roadmap but being able to label an address would be good too)

Apart from those minor niggles I'm very happy with the device.

Zvi, can you release an extranonce version for the SP10.

I used the SP20 version from Nicehash on my SP30's and it works fine, but it doesn't want to run on the SP10.

+1

Zvi that would be good please (Tig thanks for the tip that the SP20 version works on the SP30s) ... I wasn't prepared to try it .. but thought about it, having hosted machines gets complicated at times ... if they brick.


My pleasure, I wasn't sure so tried it out on my local ones first and then on my hosted ones.

BTW, most of the instructions in the readme can be ignored.

1. Stop Miner
2. cp /etc/bin/cgminer /etc/bin/cgminer.orig.4.7.0
3. WinSCP the new version from the zip
4. Start miner.

Q: How much do you sell? Any specific requirements to qualify to buy?
A: Currently, 1PH has been allocated to Bit-X, no specific requirements.

I must be missing something obvious on the website as I can't find anything close to that amount.

The BTC/GHS55 market has 1.1TH total
The USD/GHS55 has $600 total

This presumes I'm looking at the correct site, as you've not provided a link !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all. 2.5.52 (still experimantal)

- Support extranonce.subscribe added by your requests - you have to enable it in settings and reboot to use other binary. It is a binary I got from jtoomim that claims to be cgminer 4.8.0 - I have no idea what it is or who compiled it but it seams to be a legit cgminer with extranonce support, so use it at your own risk Wink I tested it for 2 minutes exactly.

Zvi, can you release an extranonce version for the SP10.

I used the SP20 version from Nicehash on my SP30's and it works fine, but it doesn't want to run on the SP10.

Please can you allow the list of workers to be sorted by name, either by default or user selectable. 

Seems to be completely random at the moment and it makes it very hard to spot problem machines
316  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs on: December 17, 2014, 12:28:49 AM
I've been looking at diving into BTC mining for a while now. I have rigs for altcoins but not BTC. With these SP20s in my home, where I pay $0.10 / KWH can I profit at today's price? Or do I look at this a n investment, hoping the price of BTC rises long term?

OR

Should I stop looking at the price of BTC in USD and just worry about amassing BTC?

Vague I know, but want to know what you guys think.

Thanks.

At 10c electric, you are looking at 6.6 months to breakeven if the difficulty never rises (it may be static at the moment but lots of new hardware will be out before long), and that doesn't include the PSU if you need to buy one.

Use that as a starting point for YOUR decision as there will be plenty of varying opinions of what to do.

Yes...

I feel shame because i was in your signature campaign, you pay us yes, but if I had known what I know now I would not have done.

Given your current signature for another ponzi scheme, I'd get used to that feeling

319  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Recovery program beginning in January for PB Mining customers. on: December 11, 2014, 10:51:48 PM
How can people openly say they wish a ponzi scheme to carry on? I do hope you get a refund though.

Because it was a blatant ponzi right from the beginning, there have been many people who KNEW it was and were gambling that they got in early enough to make a profit.

Sadly there are those that left it too late, and those that did no research.

Both groups want it continue so another group of suckers takes the loss instead of them
320  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Avalon4 (A3222, 28nm, ~25GHS, ~0.6W/G) sample chips available here: EHash.com on: December 11, 2014, 05:30:59 PM
Prisma is being retired / recalled, I wouldn't include that. SP20s and S4s may be EOL'ed in the near future [speculation and speculation].

I should say that I don't own any of the machines I mentioned..

From from what I read the old Prisma's have been recalled yes, but the new ones that they are selling have significant changes and work fine

As to products being near end of life, why does that matter they are available now.  I could have added several more to the list I was merely illustrating that everything else is cheaper and the avalon has no advantages that make it worth more.

If avalon had a long standing history of delivering excellent machines at good prices with first class support then maybe you could argue that would be worth a little extra (as happens with spondoolies).  Sadly the old avalon was rubbish and cost lots of people money, and the new avalon haven't delivered anything worth buying by normal consumers as it's arrived later than all it's competitors and always been more expensive.
