Ok sounds good. I'll let it run for a week or so then haha. Also threw another 350KH/s it's way.

Still no exchanges yet right?

Thanks. I signed up there.

I have no idea what kind of coin rate I should be expecting. But it looks like maybe about 100/hr or 2400/day.
I have 1.3MH/s pointed at earthcoin right now. Do those figures sound right?

Has that pool found any blocks yet?

Why do they require cgminer 3.7?

I get better performance with 2.11.4, don't really want to change.

Can anyone recommend a GOOD pool?

Not any of these fucking pool spammers.

I'm on miningpool.co and the entire pool hasn't even found any blocks yet for the past 4 hours. I'd rather not be on a pool that doesn't find anything.

can anyone explain whats up with the transaction fees?

i just recieved a .0351106 payment with a .0099 fee attached.

thats a 28% fee...

edit, or maybe im misreading this? was it a .0099 fee for the entire 130+BTC bulk payment?

plenty of people do that with paypal. i dont think anyone should be chastised for it. also, you have to think that maybe those people had that much BTC from todays earnings alone. look at some of the top earners on middlecoin here. the guy with 58MH/s who's made 210BTC from middle coin. he's pulling like 2-3BTC per payout. and since payouts are only once per day, theres not much he can do about that balance.
 
i had my threshold set to .1BTC, which is reasonable for the amount of BTC i generate (about .03/day). it helps minimize the loss due to transaction fees. with a .0001 flat fee for transactions, the more you can transfer at one time the less % you'll lose to fees.

ultimately i think HC SHOULD reimburse. this issue was their fault alone. they allowed their site to be breached with insufficient security measures.

if they don't, thats their choice, but i think its a slap in the face to their miners. and i wont mine there until im reimbursed.

heres the guy who got it all. ran for like 2hrs cashing people out before HC stopped all transfers.

some people lost 1BTC, 2BTC, even 3+BTC.

that means you got lucky and they terminated the transfers before it got to you.

looking at the transactions, this was running for almost 2hrs cashing people out systematically.

skimming through that i see some people lost as much as 1...2....3...+ BTC. absolutely terrible.

yes, i was more lucky than some and less luck than others. some lost 0.3+BTC or more. but its really the principle.

i will not mine at HC until they reimburse everyone. many others are taking the same position. this was a huge security hole/flaw at the hashcows HQ, not any vulnerability at the user level.

and true i dont really see how having everyone from HC migrate here will equal lower payouts. everyone is paid their fair share. you get a percentage of the pot based on the work you put into it. yeah you'll be getting a lower percentage, but the pot will be larger, evening it out.

It appears they even stole the confirmed exchanged balance from today, not yet paid out to the users. My confirmed exchange looks REALLY low, and could have sworn it was higher earlier. But since I was off HC since yesterday, I can't know for sure.

Can anyone confirm that?

Make sure you are using your 4-digit pin to change the addresses or it won't change.

Expect a lot more hashing power to be coming to middlecoin because of the breach at HC

Fuckers took 0.045+BTC from me

I'm sure the amount that HC has been taking in from fees and their own mining is plenty to cover this 40BTC loss. The RIGHT thing for them to do would be to own up to it and just refund what was taken from each person. As well as fix the security.

That's pretty much the only thing they can do to earn the trust of their miners again.

What the mother fuck?! 

0.045+ BTC gone.

I assume that HC won't do anything about refunding people??

Such a sad state. First the horrible payouts and connection issues, and now they allow everyone to be compromised and have their shit stolen. A lot of good that 4 digit pin for payouts did huh?

I was already moved off of HC due to the other issues and now this? Yeah. Safe to say i can never trust this pool again...

It does not appear that that link will work until you receive a payout. I have not received any payouts yet. So that link (with my address) just 404s.

Shit that's awesome! Perfect. Thanks much.

So is there no way to isolate my performance besides doing a search of the main page for my address?

I can't do that via mobile

Also, I've noticed very slow accepts/min as reported by my miner.

Hashcows it flies, at like 5-10/min but here it's like
Less than 1/min. Is that due to the lack of VARDIFF? My Hashrate seems fine.

Did the website change?

I can no longer isolate my address by using the format:

middlecoin.com/#<my address>

It just redirects me to the top of the main page.
