Don't hide behind insults and try to change the subject again.
You are scamming.

I guess if by purchasing a single miner and service I'm supporting them, then sure. But I have no reason to suspect that this company is associated with theft and fraud. Apparently they hired at least one person that some people suspect is associated with theft and fraud, something I found out after I made my purchase. However, I did my research, learned the real names of the people behind the company before they disclosed them here (it's real easy - they were never trying to hide it), and made a choice to risk an entire $400 (I know, I'm greedy as hell, if I'm lucky I'll walk away with a couple hundred bucks in profit, or I'll lose some money). While everyone plays guilt-by-association, I'm just providing the only facts that I know. Nobody has to listen to a word I say, and I'm sorry that you hope I get burned.  

I have about 36Th worth of Bitmain S1's I can part with.

Padrino,

Thanks for your understanding of our position. We may not be able to convince the posters in this forum with words but hope to do so by diligently fulfilling our obligations as a hosting company including going above and beyond to satisfy our customers.

Regards, Tom

Hello Forum Readers,

I'm Tom Thurber, the COO of Oregon Mines/DG Rollins and the father of the owner, Terrence Thurber.  This post has not been reviewed by anyone and may offend some.

I advocated for disclosure of Matt's position with Oregon Mines when the issue first came to my attention.  Matt asked that I defer the disclosure and, against my better judgment, I did so.

Oregon Mines and DG Rollins have absolutely nothing to hide.  Terrence was a client of Minersource and later, after starting a data center in Oregon, Matt Carson provided third party miners for hosting in the center.  Prior to employing Matt, Oregon Mines/DG Rollins was simply a client of Minersource.

Why did we hire Matt?  Matt's father agreed to acquire a minority interest in our business, infusing funds that will be used to double the data center's capacity.  As part of the deal, we agreed to hire Matt as Oregon Mines' VP of Sales.  Since Matt has delivered hosting clients to DG Rollins, it seemed like a smart move. 

It appears that a few people have serious unresolved issues with Matt.  This has no bearing on DG Rollins' operations.  My understanding is that Minersource is no longer in business.  I further understand that Matt relied on an unreliable manufacturer and passed along promises of that manufacturer that were not fulfilled.  In my opinion, this is a result of Matt's inexperience in the business world.  Don't make promises on behalf of others you do not control.

Oregon Mines and DG Rollins are split into two divisions, hosting and sales.  While with DG Rollins, Matt will be governed by our "customer first" approach that we actively use and promote in our existing hosting business.

Feel free to contact me by email (tomthurber@oregonmines.com) or Skype (DynoNY).  Oregon Mines/DG Rollins did not acquire any part of the operations of Minersource and cannot assume responsibility for issues arising between Minersource and its clients.

However, I am fully able to address all issues relating to Oregon Mines/DG Rollins.  We are serious about under-promising and over-delivering and invite you to challenge us by hosting at our center.  It is located at 3600 Crates Way, The Dalles, OR 97058.  We would welcome a visit if you are in the area.

Regards,
Tom Thurber

Are you interested in scrypt machines?

And people stop talking as soon as the prizes are claimed. I like how four of the replies are the same question. Gotta respect the honesty of the folks just in it for the .01 though.

I did look at his trust. It was after I posted my comment/question, and I saw that amazon4u has left good feedback for others. I didn't delete my post because I considered it to be valid and to have been posted with good intentions. I thought amazon4u would reply and give me information on a few of the more senior members that have dealt with him.

It is often more difficult to communicate via this text-only medium of an online forum than it is in a voice or face-to-face conversation, due to the lack of tone, inflection, and body language.
That is why I tried to explain myself in the second post. But, amazon4u continued to treat me as if I was "trolling" his thread. Which I was not.
I thought amazon4u would understand that I am not brand-new around this forum, but I am also not a Hero member either. I was simply attempting to communicate in a public forum, as I thought it could actually be of benefit to others who might read the thread, and could possibly BENEFIT amazon4u if he would share a bit of info. If people didn't want to be named specifically, he could have provided some relevant but non-personal details. Basically anything other than attacking me would have been awesome.

I apologize if I was out-of-line. You all say that I should have sent a Private Message. It was an honest mistake, I guess.

I know from when I looked at it back in my original review, the pool (when it's on top of itself) pays out on the set time basis when you have a balance above 0.001 btc.

But when it's behind like it is now (although found 3 blocks today which will make a dent), it then starts to pay out once the blocks mature and I guess the hot wallet is filled up. From looking through the logs over the last few days, it seems to go through people in order of balance due, ie there's a few of the big miners who've built up balances that go out from the first block, and then it works it's way through from highest balance down, and so clears all the 0.2's, 0.1's, 0.09's etc. Although sometimes I've seen it work the other way, clearing tons of smaller balances.
