He may be a "literal ghost" to us mere mortals but I'm sure the NSA could nab him in about 3 seconds. The question is whether AU is going to turn him over or not. My bet is they will.

I would recommend anyone who has been scammed file a cybercrime report here. https://complaint.ic3.gov/default.aspxJust fill in "Unknown" for what's not known yet. We'll get his real info eventually. Here's a sample of what you can fill in. *Make sure to fill in the total amount lost*MCXnow, a Bitcoin and altertnate cryptocoin exchange, run by "RealSolid", on or about September 11, 2013, sold its first set of "Fee Shares". The Fee Shares were a promise to pay a certain percentage of the exchange's profits for an ongoing basis to the users who purchased shares. They are similar to the CRYPTSY and SBFS shares sold on the site Cryptostocks.com. I invested in X such fee shares at an average cost basis of approximately XXX BTC (currently approximately $800/XXX) each. At the time of this writing, fee shares are trading at approximately 0.07 BTC, or $56. This represents a total monetary loss of $XXX USD for me. On November 25, MCXNow announced that it is "shutting down for a period of time". No definite time period was given as to when the site may be opening again. Users were encouraged to withdraw all of their virtual currencies. It was also suggested that insiders at MCXnow (friends of "Realsolid") including "Supertramp" and "Vipah" who were apparently in on the scam, and some holders of large fee share positions, were given advance warning of the closure and allowed to sell their shares at an inflated price before the news of the site closure was announced to the general public. I believe very strongly that "RealSolid" does not in fact intend to reopen his site and that fee shares will never pay an additional dividend to the owners. On July 23, 2013, a court declared that Bitcoin is a real currency, and the FBI has stated on record that scammers will not be protected just because they deal in Bitcoin or another virtual currency. http://rt.com/usa/bitcoin-sec-shavers-texas-231/Below you can find the IRC nicknames of the people associated with this scam.

Supertramp and Vipah who were also in on this scam need to get scammer tags as well.

If anyone has the latest info on the cgminer saga, and the forks which are continuing scrypt support, I'd appreciate you posting it here so our miners can benefit from the info. I'll also update the help section on Multipool with the info.

Thank you Kate! I look forward to serving Ciphermine's mining needs!

MEC is now 25 coins per block. Don't know if your calculations have changed to account for this yet.
Updated this morning, thanks. |

At the moment, difficulties for CAP and LKY, at least, are off.

PPcoin difficulty seems to have skyrocketed recently and I'm not sure why as it's been mostly unprofitable to mine, but it should definitely help a lot when we get more hashrate.
Peercoin was mentioned on the BBC the other day as an alternative to Bitcoin. Im not sure why its on the radar especially but right now its yielding 30% over btc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvIaD8LryZ0What I meant was, up until today, it was unprofitable (compared to BTC) to mine yet people were still driving the difficulty up. |

more coins would be nice; those that are top in coinchoose are likely not in multipool, most of the time  TAG and ANC should be up this week, I have been meaning to add them for a long while but other things kept getting in the way. |

A while ago it was mentioned we would have the ability to choose which coins we wanted to mine for scrypt. Is this still in the works or has it fallen to the waysite now that btc is in the spotlight?
I would also like to be able to choose to exclude a coin from the multiport. Don't have any idea how feasible it is, though. It is impossible the way things are currently architected. I'd have to create individual multiports for each user. It's a feature I have considered adding in the past, but have not had time to fully investigate what it would take or decide on a design. In other news, I am reconsidering adding per-coin autoexchange to BTC, and doing it a bit differently than the other pools. Stay tuned. |

Some of you may have noticed I have been a bit less active lately. I was on vacation for the past 2 weeks so if I have not responded to any posts or emails please feel free to repost/resend. I am back at home now and things have returned to relative regularity.

Pool fees have been lowered to 0% as promised for all SHA-256 coins for the remainder of 2013.

I've got some exciting news about the SHA-256 Multiport!
We've reached 29.41 BTC worth of payouts. Once the next P2pool block is scored, (i.e. tomorrow morning), I'll be switching the BTC payouts to proportional scoring over an average day's worth of P2Pool blocks (so 2 blocks at the moment), to approximately match P2pool's 24 hour PPLNS.
Starting this Sunday, 11/24, the pool fee for all SHA-256 coins will be reduced to 0%, and it will remain at 0% until January 1, 2014. There will be a separate announcement around this, but I wanted to post it here first so you are all aware. We have a miner with approximately 5TH that will be joining us on Sunday and they will be posting their own announcement as well to encourage other miners to join us.
Any plans on adding other SHA-256 coins soon? I've been mining UNO, ZET, ASC, and XJO, with interest in trying out DEM and TGC. I may also be open to OSC and TEK, but they confuse me. Right now, two things prevent me from using the SHA-256 multiport: 1) FRC's demurrage feature and 2) long block times on PPC and BTC. 1. I'm not sure why demurrage should matter unless you plan to hold the FRC for a long period of time. 2. I agree with you on PPC but not BTC. Bitcoin blocks are found by P2pool fairly regularly and any shares you submit will be paid on a proportional basis whenever a block si found (p2pool finds blocks whether the multiport is on BTC or not) PPcoin difficulty seems to have skyrocketed recently and I'm not sure why as it's been mostly unprofitable to mine, but it should definitely help a lot when we get more hashrate. I am looking at other new coins to add to the multiport but I will likely avoid coins with too low difficulty (like ZET and UNO currently) unless they have difficulty adjustment algorithms that are more favorable to multimining. |

Hi, I'm new to mining in general ...

At present I'm 60% of the hashing in the BTC P2pool and the pool efficiency is 86.7%
I took my 16 gig of Block Eruptors off this pool yesterday so they cannot be part of the problem.
What is our P2pool efficiency and confidence interval? How does this compare to the global p2pool efficiency?
You can see all of the p2pool stats here: http://pool1.us.multipool.us:3332/static/Our p2pool efficiency is at about 95% right now. Our local stale rate is at 12% compared to 17% p2pool-wide. |

There was a problem with the script that pulls prices from the exchanges. It's been fixed.

Today number of payments shown at account page are not showing up on my Cryptsy account. Problem at Cryptsy side or here?
Wondering same... Same here, I see 9 payments on Multipool, only 4 have appeared on Cryptsy. All the missing payments are LKY. There is only one LKY deposit which is pending since 1 AM, all the other 5 deposits aren't even pending on Cryptsy. The oldest missing deposit is from 5 AM. Maybe Vern has to upgrade his LKY client and redownload the blockchain. Click Trade and see his comments. The LKY fork doesn't take effect until block 100,000 I thought. |
