Serious question, what are your thoughts on mining XPM with a Xeon Phi? Nobody knows. Nobody has the money to buy one of those. If you have the money, go ahead. Although I think you might want to recompile the miner to support the new instruction sets that it provides, but you will never be able to get an ROI with each unit being so expensive, unfortunately.

I'm hardly finding any blocks this week compared to the last one, unlucky or did something major change?
I found one since I started mining on my personally-owned server about 3 days ago.

I think this yipyip guy and btc xpress need to shut it... there are people trying to get this to work and they get no valuable answers. Go create your own hate thread please.
Create your own hate thread, like a real man.

Just to let you guys know. These are not rip-off VPS'es that have paged memory, tiny CPU cycle availability, or low uptime, and they're not OpenVZ either. These are US-Based (Based in Renton, Washington), Real VMWare-Based VPS'es with 99.9% uptime, and are also only permitted for legal and legitimate uses. That means no botnets, no spamming, or other unlawful things are that you see are permitted with some other cheap VPSes around here. You are guaranteed access to 100% of the CPU, RAM, and HDD resources I advertise. They are partitioned properly and the host server is not over-sold or over-loaded. Furthermore, I can give temporary access to one of the VPS'es to the first reputable hero member to appear in the thread, to confirm legitimacy as well.

So - how are all the amazon and vps user doing? Still profitable?
I recently tried the Azure free trial ($200 worth) and got a measly 50 XPM out of it. cant help but wonder if this 50 xpm is going to be like 50 BTC one day..... Not happening. However, what is possible is that BTC rises even further, and XPM rises to what BTC is now.

... Because the money was classified as a donation, you have no right under the law to call him a scammer. ...
This line of thought has been repeated a lot, but I personally doubt it. I don't think simply calling a payment "donation" necessarily exempt the recipient from responsibilities in law. Obviously, different countries may differ, but usually, laws are written to give less weight to how things are called and more weight to the mechanics of how things are done (so they are less easy to circumvent). The "donation" was given as a condition for receiving a product. Courts may not see those transfers as gifts with no strings attached. (Not that I'm expecting anyone to waste money in suing him.) Not sure how they could even sue, when bitcoin isn't even considered a currency by most countries. It's like suing someone on club penguin because you have him some coins to do something he didn't do. Frivolous. Anyways, any US lawyers here to lay a more educate opinion on this in regards of the law?

It is about the whole DONATIONS for "its working 200% faster than CPU's "
It was at this point that I "DONATED" ......funny thing was that it was all lies.....
Fine we got ripped....thats fair enouh in BTC land ...but I am going to call it for what it is
He LIED & we got SCAMMED end of story
Lets consider for a moment that those were his legitimate intentions. Because the money was classified as a donation, you have no right under the law to call him a scammer. Although, of it was true, I think it would qualify as some kind of grey area donation fraud. Kinda like the KONY 2012 dealio. I'm no lawyer. Anyways. This software merely in beta. Why do you expect a beta pre release to work? Even Microsoft releases nonfunctional prices of shit sometimes.

I wonder how long until someone who paid posts a real link to the miner.
|
|

I can take this on. Donate 75 bitcoins to me and you will receive an early beta. (joking, of course)

Is there any easy way for me to find when I enrolled for this, other than manually looking through the previous pages?
Look at the number of your post in the top right corner. That number is a link to your post. Find your previous one and bookmark it. Well, I was hoping there was an easier method. I guess I'll have to go with that.

Community projects always die. It needs to have a motivation. ie. bitcoins.

If your last one features BD, I'm in.

easy done, the miner will have online activation (hw dependent so no abusing), just put username and wait for activation code over PM I'm doubtful he will put so much effort into that, although it is a good idea. He's also have to create some back-end online and overall it seems kinda excessive.

How will the delivery of the BETA GPU miner be delivered to the ~ 80+ donators Two options. With great difficulty. Or not at all. I think this thing got a bit out of hand for mtlmr, though. I'm doubtful he'll be able to handle delivering it to so many people, unless if he PM'd the donators some private URL to which the miner will be uploaded when the time comes, or something. I don't think this is so hard to do at all Manually finding the posts of 80+ people who donated, and then PMing them? That seems pretty hard. Only way for it to be easy is if he wrote down the names of donators, or something.

Hello. I am renting some unused space on my personally-owned rack-server. The rack-server is located in an air-conditioned, battery-backed-up, and professionally controlled data center in Washington, USA. I am renting this unused space as two VPS'es, as I have two remaining unused IP addresses. These are not OpenVZ VM's. These are VMWare VM's with full access to CPU, RAM, and HDD resources, as well as kernel control. You may also run Windows. Specs and prices. (TWO SLOTS AVAILABLE) VPS SLOT 0: Intel Xeon 2.5 GHZ X 2, 2GB, 20GB HD, 1 IP, 100GB Bandwidth, Windows/Linux/Mac OS (If you know how) Can Be Installed - $40/VPS SLOT 1: Intel Xeon 2.5 GHZ X 2, 2GB, 80GB HD, 1 IP, 100GB Bandwidth, Windows/Linux/Mac OS (If you know how) Can Be Installed - $45/Since we already pay the server hosting costs just for the sake of the other VPS'es, I have my pricing significantly below market prices. OS's I can Install and (optionally) configure basics for you:Ubuntu Server Debian CentOS Windows XP/7 (Not Server) (You must provide A license) Windows Server 2000/2003/2008/2008R2/2012 (You must provide A license) Setup Time: Probably 24 hours or less. You will not be charged for the setup time. Your 31-day period starts the moment you are given access to your VPS. My Plan: After receiving a payment, I will install your OS of choice, and after completion you will be given access to the VPS, Once you are given access the VPS is yours for exactly 31 days. After which you either pay again for it to remain yours, or I delete all data immediately and put it up for rent again. Escrowy: If desired, The BTC payment to me may be held in escrow (John. K) for the 31 days, and after your service expired may it be released to me. Terms of use: Nothing illegal, or grey hat. If I find out you are doing something illegal, you will be subject to immediate termination of service. Also, try not to mine PrimeCoin. But if you have to. It's fine. This is not a commercial business. I am just personally renting space on my server. If you have any comments or suggestions.. feel free to leave them. Otherwise, if interested in renting one of my VPS'es, leave a message here also for public record.

He doesn't have to. It is simply more a manner of honesty, and asking nicely.

The Linux versions seem to be more stable.
+1 don't know why people even bother with windows when it comes to rack mounted servers. Shows a true level of ignorance of what a server actually does. "oh well i use windows on my desktop, so i better use windows on my server". lol. We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 because we need to run some legacy Windows Server applications. There is a large amount of software that is windows-only. If it were up to me, I would have chosen linux. Anyways. That was a one-off bug. Right after writing the post, client synced fully, and I am now mining properly.

So, he's not intending to scam us then? Can you clarify that for us?
I am not a mind reader. I was asking for your opinion on the subject, as you are the one who communicated with him directly.
