It seems to me BitGo was only interested in profits instead of TRUE security.

The following IS THE WAY in which BitFinex should have used multi-sig wallets for customer accounts:

1.  The "customer" should have one of the 3 keys.
2.  It is MANDATORY the "customer" key be used to withdraw funds from their account in conjunction with Finex key.
3.  BitFinex would not be allowed to withdraw funds from a "customer" account without the permission of the "customer" via the "customer" key.
4.  BitFinex would not be allowed to withdraw funds from a "customer" account in conjunction with BitGo key without BitGo receiving permission DIRECTLY FROM THE CUSTOMER via email and/or 2FA.
5.  If the "customer" lost their key, this is the ONLY TIME BitGo key would be used to withdraw funds.  HOWEVER, the "customer" would have to be the one to give BitGo permission VIA EMAIL directly with BitGo in order for BitGo to use BitGo's key with BitFinex key to withdraw funds.

It's really quite simple.  It's common sense.  WHY it was not done this way is beyond comprehension.  The key that BitFinex held in cold storage SHOULD have been the "customer's" key; NOT BitFinex's secondary key.  They might as well throw that cold storage key in the trash.  It was never going to be used unless BitFinex lost the key they were using.

A multi-sig wallet should also have a 4th key held in cold storage by BitGo to be used only in the event BitFinex AND the customer lost their keys.

EDIT:  WHY, BitGo did not INSIST it be done this way as the terms of doing business with BitFinex is sickening as well.

My PCI slots were factory set to "Auto" instead of Gen 1.  Yet, all 6 were still detected.  However, the rig would mine for a few minutes with all 6 then stop hashing.  I would not be surprised if this could be why you are having issues.  Had to set the CPU to x8/x4/x4 as well.

Yes, all of my GPU's are using x1 risers.  I can use my monitor with HDMI and DVI-D cords with no issues.  I have never had to install a GPU straight on the mobo to set up a rig.

Could be a dumb suggestion...

Depending on your mobo, you may need to go into Bios [If you haven't already] and set your PCI-e slots for Gen1 and CPU to x8/x4/x4 to get all PCI-e slots going for 6 GPU's with USB risers in every slot like my own.  My MSI gaming boards require Bios changes for PCI-e slots to run more than 4 GPU's stably with USB risers without shutting down the rig periodically.

I was fortunate enough to find this out from a good friend.

The following pool is an excellent pool originally set up for ETH but we are now mining ETC.  I've been on here approximately 24 hours.  Payouts are every 4 hours.  Pool fee is 1%.

http://miningeth.com

EDIT #1:  I use my Poloniex ETC Deposit address as my wallet address for now and it has worked fine.

EDIT #2:  I've earned 46.61832836 ETC over the past 24 hours with 1.44 GH.  Not bad for my first 24 hours there.  I pointed my rigs there at approximately 2:30am CST yesterday.  It is currently 2:47am CST (approximately 24 hours).

EDIT #3:  I'm adding one more rig later today with 6 x RX 480's on an MSI gaming mother board and I have 5 more RX 480's on the way to get up and running by Friday or Saturday.  The goal is 102 RX 480's to go along with the 74 x R9 380's I already have.

When I add my current 11 x RX 480's, that will put us right at 1% of the ETC network hash rate.  We could use more miners if any wish to join.  Keith, is an excellent pool operator.  He knows his shiznit.  Your in good hands with him.

Most all of us at the pool have [Or will be] switching from ethos to awesome miner awesomeminer.com [Which uses Claymore when mining ETH or ETC] to enable us to jump around to whatever alt coin we want to mine, which see: http://awesomeminer.com/guide/awesomeprofit.aspx.  I plan on having all my rigs running awesomeminer by next weekend.

Just finished watching it myself.  Yes, it was good.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.

You're very welcome.  I'm watching it myself shortly.  I just got back from a ten day vacation in Florida and got caught up on news.

Be careful with server PSU's when GPU mining.  Especially, if you are using risers.

I can see your point of view from that perspective.  However, I'm taking into account other things going on in our world economy that may create flight from FIAT into crypto.  2016 is only the beginning of a massive pump to last for several years to come.

EDIT:  I can see $14,000 per BTC by end of 2017 quite easily.  [That's being VERY conservative IMO].

FOMO is nothing compared to FOLOF (Fear Of Losing On Fiat).  Many will seek to hedge potential losses from their own currency devaluing by purchasing crypto.  We could have as many as 100,000,000 Chinese purchase bitcoin by end of 2017.

Yes, it does.  However, I believe 2017 will make 2016 look like playing poker at the kiddy table.

Sounds like all of us need to begin kick starting our own ETH nodes to have a vote to keep the mining going a bit.  eh?   

Hi citronick,

Thanks for the two links you provided in your two posts.  Much appreciated! 

You have a valid point there.  By the time they come out and a ginny pig spends $200 to find out if it will mine ETH and we get word of it, it's quite possible my 3,000 MH/s from 100 x MSI 390's will have mined approximately $10,000 worth of ETH at current difficulty, block time and price of ETH.

That's $10,000 towards a $34,000 to $35,000 investment.  That investment could be paid off in 4 months.

I'm an ignoramus as to how ETH works.  Any idea who or what determines when ETH changes from POW to POS?  Of course, I could research to find out for myself.  However, if someone knows the answer, I would appreciate the info.

BINGO

Yes, it appears we may have to wait.  Not sure.  Wish we knew something concrete NOW.  

No, not a BTC prince.  I've had as much as 148 TH/s (30 x S7's of varying batches) mining out of my home.  I have not sold any BTC I've mined to pay for power costs ever since I started mining.  I paid all of my power bills out of pocket ever since August 2014 to hold on to my BTC to sell for bigger profits at a later date.

Sorry, cannot pay your rent.  My wife was laid off from her job (Accountant for an oil and gas company) the second week of January this year.  We are now relying on me to provide for us by whatever legal means available.  Hell, our health/dental insurance for the three of us (I have a 5 year old son too) is $1,530 monthly.  That's a damn house note by itself but I have one of those too.

Totally agree!  I might pick up some if I can find them for $250 or less per unit.  However, I'm not buying a lot of them.  There are too many pro's to wait for the 480's  I cannot think of any con's for the 480's except for having to wait and not knowing if we can mine with them out of the box (software/drivers).

Hell, I'm getting 186 units of RX 480's since they consume less power than the 390's. I only hope I can find that many someone will sell at $199 each when they are available.  However, the other concern I have as well is if they will be sold in limited quantities only in the beginning.  If that is the case, I'll have to wait potentially 30 to 90 days longer to get the units I want.

Same here.  I'm kind of in a "Catch 22" situation.  I was about to purchase 100 x MSI 390 GPU's until I heard last night about the AMD RX 480 with 14nm chips coming out June 29th.

Especially, since no one is taking pre-orders on them, I'm wondering if there will be limited quantities that will limit retailers to 5 GPU's per customer at first?

Okay, Thanks!

David
