605  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 0.02 BTC for anyone who has ATI OpenCL APP SDK for Windows XP on: August 22, 2014, 04:03:22 PM
Suggest upgrading to window 7, all latest driver does not support window xp..

You mean the latest AMD APP SDK's don't support XP, because NVIDIA's CUDA SDK's do. It's just too bad that we need to use shitty AMD graphics cards instead of NVIDIA cards for mining. ATI's driver support has always SUCKED - I almost cried when AMD bought that wretched company. The fact that fucking Microsoft stopped releasing their mostly useless security updates for XP doesn't mean anything. Anyways, no one here is asking for suggestions of operating systems to switch to, so either help finding the SDK's the posters are needing or shut the fuck up.

Hi there,
I have same problem. I have Windows XP and need to install OpenCL, I try to find the SDK Stream for XP but no success. The link above don't work. Can you help please and upload the install? My card is HD 4800. This is urgent because I cannot find it anywhere, you are my last change.

I have all SDK's from version 2.4 on but only for 64-bit Windows, so if you're using XP 64 just let me know which version you want and I'll upload it for you.

Isolated Internet Outages Caused By BGP Spike

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8387/isolated-internet-outages-caused-by-bgp-spike

<<  The day was Tuesday, August 12th 2014. I arrived home, only to find an almost unusable internet situation in my home. Some sites such as AnandTech and Google worked fine, but large swaths of the internet such as Microsoft, Netflix, and many other sites were unreachable. As I run my own DNS servers, I assumed it was a DNS issue, however a couple of ICMP commands later and it was clear that this was a much larger issue than just something affecting my household.

Two days later, and there is a pretty clear understanding of what happened. Older Cisco core internet routers with a default configuration only allowed for a maximum 512k routes for their Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) tables. With the internet always growing, the number of routes surpassed that number briefly on Tuesday, which caused many core routers to be unable to route traffic. >>

BitJohn just PM'd me informing that the problem had been resolved, so I logged on to Cryptsy to check and confirmed that all three deposits were finally credited.

Well, the price dropped 5 times since May, did he promise any compensations on behalf of cryptsy?

You're absolutely right. I even thought of starting a campaign to demand more from Cryptsy. However, from previous experience (including my experience as a consumer defense activist for over 15 years), I've learned that most people won't leave their comfort zones to participate in this kind of action. Take user ADRIATICon above, for example - he only PM'd BitJohn and posted on the thread that he had done that, but never exposed to the community exactly what happened to his coins. And he is far from being the only one to act like this. Since I have no vocation for martyrdom, I decided to leave it up to each affected user to look after himself, even though that kind of selfish attitude disgusts me.

Thanks, TheIrishman.  Since you "ask", I'll share that, beyond being a Newbie, I am a very small-time miner that is being forced out of mining due to the server farms, increasing difficulty, low profitability, and lack of free time to monitor various "options."  For my small and late posted deposits, Cryptsy eventually threw me some Points after complaining privately to them, and I cannot afford to continue to pursue what is of little reward with anything like litigation. I also suspect others are in the same position I am but don't participate in a forum.  Those with server farms and dedicated staffs can probably carry the mantle much more affordably by taking further action and sharing their experiences for others to benefit from.  Sincerely, good luck.

Spare me your lame excuses, I've heard it all before. Now allow me to translate what you wrote: you're the typical selfish coward because of whom things like that happen and scammers get away with their scams. According to BitJohn, 425 Galaxycoin miners had their Crypsty deposits credited because I started that thread and threatened them with taking further actions like filing complaints with the BBB and other entities, so FUCK YOU AND THE REST OF YOUR FUCKING TAME SHEEPLE HERD. And by the way, I mine with a single Radeon HD 7950.

For everyone who's been having problems with Galaxycoin deposits to Cryptsy:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=728253.0

Posting in that thread must have jinxed me (or someone at Cryptsy cracked the shits) - my GLX deposits have now disappeared from the pending list.

It wasn't that, the same thing has been happening on Cryptsy with many other coins. Deposits show as pending for a long time with thousands of confirmations, then suddenly disappear from the pending deposits list and aren't credited to the users balances either. My GLX deposits disappeared before I even started that thread. The exchange doesn't seem to be concerned in the least about the fact that they are effectively defrauding their users. I believe it's time for everyone who has had their coins stolen by Cryptsy to start taking further action. A few of us already are.

Pending deposits have now disappeared, but have not been credited.

Ticket is still open, has now been nearly 30 days.

That's exactly how it happened with me (see OP).
