i am simply saying anyone could put two and two togather. As it looks right now it can be made dave assisted tom in the ablity to scam the btc by refunding the cc refunds. Althought he may have been doing his job he layed this ground to be open that he was assisting tom with the btc scam and all that somone has t prove was the cc refunds were made so that nothing could be done about this and to allow the btc scam.
This, coming from someone who actually had no money invested in bASICs. He won the sig contest Tom put up, took delivery of one MMQ and put the 100 BTC Bar towards a bASIC pre-order. Furthermore he had Tom make up an order for him on BTCFPGA.com, and then contacted me separately to set up an order on bitcoinASIC.com. Knowing he had two orders (one of them false), he attempted to scam our refund process, contacting me with refund requests citing both order numbers. It was only when I called him on it that he admitted what he was up to: [1/28/2013 12:03:56 AM] David Carlson: I'll put you down for 100BTC - but man I'll be honest - I think you were trying to game the refund - not appreciated.
[1/28/2013 12:06:42 AM] dmcurser: i am sorry for that although at times i wish i would i would never let it go that far
[1/28/2013 12:06:58 AM] dmcurser: i was just mad bc noone is there to talk to everytime try to opwn a convo
[1/28/2013 12:07:05 AM] dmcurser: it just doesnt get ansewered
...etc.
Looks like he should be up for scammer tag too. |

I have tried 2 x MSI 890 FX mobo ATI 12.8 drivers...even took teh intensity down to 9 (it gave me 79k/hash for both GPU's ..lol ) The card no matter what after ~ 1 min white/blue/grey...gone I have had 3 x XFX 5970's working fine in these boards etc... Can i safely say the card is dead  Good chance of it although usually when dead they won't hash at all. Either that or one core will die on you, have had that happen as well. |

Why would you use aticonfig when you can change the clocks directly with cgminer?
Never works with ltc on my machines btc sets them to exactly what I to use in the .conf and as I have said with ltc good luck with that.. Edit: Should add it appears to go with the default of the card involved in ltc mining as I have two 6970s that their default speeds are the sweet spot for kh/s rate those two I never have to set the speeds as they are already where they need to be once it starts up. Any other cards I check the speeds on after it starts are at their default values then they need to be set to where the speeds need to be for ltc mining. That doesn't make much sense unless you use settings that wouldn't work with the display library - and usually that involves setting the memory clock much lower than the engine clock which you don't do on LTC. I've mined LTC numerous times and set clocks just fine with cgminer itself. Sense or not it does it here is a machine I just put the proper values I need into the .conf and it appears to set the memory but not the engine to what I need and have specified. miner4@miner4:~$ odg

Trying to get a Saphire 5970 to run up I have 3 XFX Blk Edition untis that are working well The Saphire just by itself will run for about 30 seconds and then White/blue screen ...from reading it is being driven too hard Here are the settings cgminer --scrypt -o http://yourpool.com -u username -p password --thread-concurrency 8000,8000 -I 18,18 -g 1 -w 256,256 ATI drivers 12.8 What cgminer settings can you suggest to give it an easier time and also what clock & memory settings should i have as well ? (This may not be relevant....if i run it as part of a 3 cards 1 of the GPU's goes SICK and then eveything crashes after 1-2 mins) Try like I have it edited in your post and I use 780 for the engine memory at 1160 or 1185 depending on the card I have in use. Edit: Also --auto-fan --auto-gpu added on the end could be of use to you. An example of the .conf file you can use to have most of these setting automatically applied on startup. cat .cgminer/cgminer.conf-ltc

Can you explain me why you would actually pay (paid upgrade) to do further business with a person that acts like that and showed he doesnt care for you?
I've lost a lot by backing gigavps, really a lot, I wish that I could just wash my hands of it but the paid upgrade may be the only way to have a chance to recoup some of my losses, I shall decide at the time - around the end of next week hopefully, it will be purely an expected profit loss decision & I'm assuming that most of the aggravation & cost will finally start to show some fair return - maybe I'm being a fool, time will tell. Time has been screaming no one listens. Interesting call too as it was answered simply "Law Office" by a man who could not connect me to this lawyer and I had ask which law firm I was speaking to. Gets more weirdness all the time. Am I the only one that thinks these seem really fishy?
Hi odolvlobo,
If you have encountered an issue and need help, just email me and I'll be happy to help in any way that I can.
If you would like to call the office of Carlos Fleites to make sure I am an active client or that Quentin works for the firm, please feel free to do so.
(305) 672-8434
Best,
James

.... BS excuses.
Not at all I have yet to see anyone claim to have contacted this lawyer, also I have searched he does not exist on the internet.. Edit: Other than gigavps of course. |

oh cool.. internet lawyers.. cookie.jpg for you  I know, silly me.. should have put (imo or my 2 cents) disclaimer on my last post.. this one is for Tommy.. bottoms up! As opposed to a useless drama queen always trying to stir it up. PLONK. |

At this point the BTC refund people should classify this not only as a scam but also theft.. as it seems at this current time your money (BTC) has been taken (stolen) on a false premise to deliver an item that never existed which is 100% fact.. no matter how you try to re-arrange the words... "intention" and actual "reality" are two different things on this one.. Good luck on your future Nigerian inheritances!  Be alright if you had a clue how the law works intention is the difference if you kill someone with no intention of doing so its manslaughter otherwise it is murder or justifiable homicide if you had grounds to reasonably be in fear of your own life being taken. In a business deal if the party responsible for the damages incurred had every intention of doing what they said and circumstances lead to bad conclusion then that is sorry about your luck you get to sue for damages, if they had no intention on delivering what they said then that is sorry about their thieving asses luck, a huge difference. |

People have been requesting BTC refunds for weeks, and none have received it.
The stated plan is CC then BTC. Money has been actively flowing. The revised plan is CC first, then if the funds last, some of the BTC orders may be refunded. BTC refunds were requested long before the "cc first" plan was ever devised, yet they weren't processed. Why? It is a federal crime therefore federal prison you go to when defrauding CC customers BTC do they even give a shit... |

I'm finding that 1 Mh/s using phatk generally translates to 1 Kh/s using scrypt.
Is that standard?
The 1000 to 1 difference is pretty much the idea you get when going from btc to ltc mining ie card gets 300mh/s btc most times you get 300kh/s ltc and it takes on average 10% more power to mine the ltc as well. |

Dave, you should also add the time the refund request was send to the list. The exchange rate at that time should be used for refunds (of course I'd prefer to get the original paid amount of btc back but that probably won't happen).
yes that would be nice but i would just be happy with rate at time of request I agree with your point of view, however I can't make that decision for Tom. BTC refunds that have been sitting in queue were done at around $14 - $15 these go back to Jan 17th. The reason I'm not converting the new ones I send is because a) I don't feel good about cutting them at current rates upwards of $18 and b) if I cut them at lower rates intentionally without telling Tom, I'd be going against policy we've already set. So I plan to indicate my recommended conversion rate at $15 and provide those numbers, but let Tom make the final decision himself. While you at it I would like the exchange rate that was more in my favour when I made the request for my CC refund than was actually in effect the day I got it as well... |

He made about 53BTC from my orders alone, by refunding a smaller amount of BTC than I sent. (I was refunded only USD equivalent, even though I could care less about USD). It's a major scam to those of us who like me, aren't surprised at all at BTC going up (& the USD collapsing). Esp. considering we were mis-informed about the project from start to finish.
Here you are whining about getting your BTC back. Somehow expecting more than the dollar equivalent in BTC you knew you were paying at the time back ie. you spend ~$1000 then you get ~$1000 worth back sorry about your luck and your scam intentions wanting more back than you paid. Suppose those of us that lost out on the exchange rate when we were refunded in the US dollars we paid instead of the full amount of local currency should start whining as well seems to be the favourite pass time around here. |

Done. Cheers SAC. About 6GB right there? Crazy. And I'm pushed for space as it is.  Yep pretty whacked the space this thing takes in mine above it would only do about ~2.5gb on a backup depending on what has changed in the database directory. As the blk0001.dat & blk0002.dat would already have been there leaving the blk0003.dat & blkindex.dat as the large files with todays date to be backed up and since those would be getting updated constantly throughout the day every time TM runs it would have backed up them two files at least. |

Suppose I'll just leave it running and see where it's got to tomorrow then, perhaps I'm just being impatient as robot_boy alluded to.
Tomorrow you should be fine last time I did it took like 22 hours to get the entire chain and I am serious about the time machine if you do not want to waste your backup space exclude them files. Here is what it looks like on my Mac I even have the debug.log linked to /dev/null because I got tired of watching that grow to a gb + size all the time.

The block % has actually been hovering around the high 90s all day, I believe it got to around 98% and then started to drop slightly and hover again. Is that normal or should it go straight to 100%? Thanks for your swift replies & apologies for the lack of clarity in the image.
Can be normal depends on the peers you get when connecting one thing you can do is quit the program then start it again to see if you can get better peers. It is like bittorrent the faster peers you get the faster the download slower well slower update. |

I'm a noob to Bitcoin and just bought my first BTC from bitbargain. I then sent them to the standard address given in the Bitcoin-Qt client I had downloaded. However I subsequently realised that my wallet in Bitcoin-Qt is constantly showing as "out of sync" despite the fact that I have been running the programme for hours, which means my BTC haven't arrived (20+ confirmations on blockchain.info). I'm sure this must have been the case since the moment I downloaded it, but just didn't realise until I'd sent the BTC. In hindsight I was an idiot to send them while this was the case, but I don't think I can undo it now so I'd really appreciate it if someone more savvy could help me out of this mess.
I am running Bitcoin-Qt v0.7.2-beta on OS X 10.7. Here's a screenshot of the problem:
Kind of hard to read but that pop up looks like it says you need another 6000 blocks to be caught up once it does download them you will see your btc. BTW if you have time machine setup you may want to go into its preferences and exclude every file in the /Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ except the wallet.dat this will save you gigabytes of easily replaced data being backed up every time it runs. |

If I was trying to scam Gigaminers, why would I still be here? Why would I not just do what every other now known scammer has done and stopped communicating? Why would I hire a lawyer? Why would I offer Teramining?
Could it possibly be that I want to continue with what we've started here?
Of course you want to continue it has been easy money fleeced from these people already, I notice it is extra BTC you are now trying to take in from these people yet again. |
