http://hashiescam.blogspot.com/   - all about hashie scammer

 I was struck by this entry:

Maiden name of his mother is: Dietz

because I was sure I had seen that surname while doing research about scammer Eric Corlew of Basic Mining.

Here it is!

Sarah Mae Dietz (Corlew)
Sarah is the Ex-Wife to Eric and they have a child together.

Is this coincidence?!

@balduro odinson

allow a few questions:

-are you the creator of this coin?
-do you control the premine?

-if you are not the creator: do you know him personally? Did you have personal contact with him? In what way do or did you communicate with him? Do you know where he could be found ?

-please also explain your involvement in this scam and in what way you profit from it.
-also please provide your adresses where you claimed your personal airdrop coins to

-also please answer why you take on this role
-and if you can, please provide the other names of other accounts you are using on this forum aswell as your facebook account and email

thank you

I didn't create this coin
I don't control the premine coin
I have had no contact with the real baldur
I provide public relations for coins like Auroracoin
Im not Icelandic so I have baught all my Auroracoin new.
I take on this role because I want to tell the story of Auroracoin.




 The first statement on your newbie account was this:

Hey guys I'm assuming the role of baldur if you have any questions about Auroracoin feel free to ask me here and make sure to check out all the latest news regarding Iceland and its crypto currency here @ www.aurorapr.co.vu

 It is impossible for you to assume the role of Baldur if you don't have control of... anything.  That's rather pretentious.
When story tellers assume the role of the main character it's usually an autobiography.  Why not drop the charade and just create your own Icelandic coin.  If you feel so strongly about it, you could convert existing Auroracoins to your new coin (let's call it Poseurcoin) with proof of burn.  This coin isn't likely to stage a comeback and it has way too much uncontrolled pre-mine.

Hi,
This is great address generator, can anyone confirm that this wallet address generator is secure ?

EDIT: expecially the windows edition

thanks

 It is very secure.  If your computer is not secure however, then the addresses you generate will not be secure.
Also, if you export the private keys to an online wallet, you are potentially compromising the security of those addresses.
So the program is fine but the security issues arise when dealing with the key pairs you generate.

Jelin, never mind cranky old homer. AWOL means something isn't where it should be when it is supposed to be, in other words 'absent without leave'.
If you look at the advanced page for my Titan, there is no entry for one of the DC/DC converters.

See how DC/DC #6 is missing for ASIC 3 in the image below ? It is AWOL.

 The guy took a military abbreviation turned it into an idiomatic expression that doesn't really even make good sense and you think that googling AWOL is going to help someone with ESL?

8388  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: December 23, 2014, 10:13:35 PM
quick question i cant find the answer in the post
is the command "-1" working?
whenever i found the privatekey, the terminal keeps looking for more and more...
i want to just recive the solution in the "-o" file i create, and the terminal to stop... or close in better case Smiley thanks

 Working in mine.  Can you paste your command line so I can see how you are doing it?

 Wait, I'm using oclVanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013)

Seems in the version oclVanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012)

the -1 option is not implemented.


so i have to update my openSSL? i downloaded from here the vanity, because is in the post, so im think i have 0.22 version
i cant see the version.
who i update my openssl? is there a comand for that? sorry i ask to many questions but i really need the -1 option

edit: i checked i have the 1.0.1f version.
im using this comand line:  "env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./sdklib ./oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -1 1Nasty"   any mistake there?

 run vanitygen with just the -h option and nothing else.  It will give you the version information first followed by a list of valid options.  If the -1 option is not there, you wont be able to use it.

 I just ran the lifeboat version with the command-line "oclvanitygen -D 0:0 -1 1Nasty" and I got this -

Pattern: 1Nasty
Address: 1NastyC4VZLhJnFW2oQy1ck2kkNYDNZ1N4
Privkey: 5J79D1XgDc1meLoGhCCPAFSsBfHAw1ycTba7nL75pJDVrCw12Kz

in about 30 seconds and the program terminated normally afterward.

This company's rating has been updated in the Manufacturer Trustworthiness thread.

[This message won't be monitored, discuss any concerns in the thread.]

I gotta say this is a tad uncalled for... FC has communicated more than ever (well except for the funding and early gen 1 period) over the last weeks or so. The 1/10 points at communication deserve at least something better Cheesy

Have a look through any of the product threads. Its been the same thing repeated for months and months, bad communication, customer support, technical support and impossible to get hold of anyone. It goes on for pages and pages and pages and pages across all the threads.

I think what dogie is confusing here is the difference between a product manufacturer and an interent formus user.
When you purchase an item from a manufacturer, they do not have a duty to be on hand 24/7 on a related, but separate from their own sales platform forum.
I do think dogie has been slightly harsh and I can actually see a h/w race which is pretty much neck-and-neck-and-neck-and-neck at the moment.

The real problem is that one user "Doggie" has so much power and influence over "ratings" - since he is the only one rating these companies it seems.  You can't really blame him for providing a service.  Since he's the only one, he becomes a bit of a dictator in a community that respects "decentralization", not tyranny.  The obvious solution would be for other Doggies to emerge and do their own ratings.   A better solution would be to set something up where the rating is a transparent forumula that takes as it's input ratings of various users.   Doggie's thread, and the way he can play God and make or break a company, always seemed ridiculously authoritarian and incompatible with bitcoin principals of democracy and plurality, etc.    
I mean, even if Doggie is a saint today; what's to stop him from selling his account to Spoondoolies or someone?  Centralization is not good.  Neither is authoritarianism.   Distrust anyone who decides to become an "authority".  Sorry Doggie, you seem like an all right guy, but I can't support what your doing.

 You make a valid argument though I wonder how many others would willingly take this task without the promise of remuneration?


Is dogie doing all these without remuneration ? I guess I have seen manufacturers sending him miner for free for a review. I might have been mistaken... so please correct me if I am wrong.

 I cannot answer that question.  However, it would surprise me if Dogie has received miners for maintaining the Manufacturer's Trustworthiness thread.

S5 is a new product. Also in a string design... Who knows, maybe there will be similiar issues with poping packages and fires...

If so you better believe they will be working with us day 1 an issue happens. Also Bitmain has released a lot more gear than AM has...they are more experienced.
Lot more you say?
USB Block Erupter, Block Erupter, something mini (don't remember what was that), Tube, Prisma, Prisma 2.0 - six what I can remember. Maybe someone will add to this list.
Antminer: S1, S2, S3, S3+, S4, S5 - six...

EDIT: And propably those blades that was going to submerge cooling facilities where different than normal Block Erupters.

Bitmain sold more than those.. U3 (USB Miner), That pod miner (not sure the model), L1 (Scrypt). You really think AM sells anywhere near the amount of miners that Bitmain does? AM sold a lot early on then not much there after. Plus most of what AM sold were simple USB miners..a lot less can go wrong with those..

 They sold pre-orders for the L1 scrypt.  The L1 scrypt miner is dead.  Not delivered.  Yet to be refunded.

 Bitmain has a slightly better PR department:

Dear loyal customers,

The decision has been taken not to continue production of the Antminer L1

In response, all customers will be able to choose one of three options:...

 Wait what?! A pre-order from a company that claims not to deal in pre-orders?

We created a Legend in the bitcoin community: no pre-orders, on time shipping, even pre-shipping. We are earning more and more trust from our worldwide customers.

8394  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ASICMiner BE300S Samples Arrived, <0.2W/G Achieved at Board Level on: December 22, 2014, 05:42:26 AM
They have to find really cheap power, if you ask me! i want to see 0.01$/KWh! That way they could build a really big farm an mine the hell out of the blockchain. AM isn't a small player, they should go as far as possible and re-claim those 40% in 2015! Also they could continue to offer a cutting-edge cloud mining!

Even if the network wouldn't grow much from today on, claiming 40% of the network possibly means building 100-150MW worth of new Bitcoin mines in 2015. That's about half of all of Google's capacity (265MW) by power combined. And twice the size of Facebook (78MW). And it remains a moving target during and after.

I had a post here with some numbers I put together recently:

Energy Consumption of the Bitcoin Network
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=520977.msg9825138#msg9825138


Never going to happen, they simply don't have the cash to do that on this generation. Even Bitfury's level of cash would only just allow them to do that (if they started from 0%).

 BitcoinBrothers out of Germany claimed in November this year to have an ASIC based on a 16nm 3D finFET and have plans to unleash 300-400 PH onto the network in Q1 2015.   They also claim each of their 6 PH machines will consume 0.9 MW.  So using your initial assumption, it appears they are poised take a little more than 50% of the network (assuming they add 300 PH) using only 45 MW.
 I haven't dug very deeply into this claim but they seem to be echoing the claims of KNCminer as far as the 16nm 3D finFET based ASIC.  I haven't seen power consumption estimates from KNC however.

sherlocks, by buying hash and am now up to 1 TH and

plan to add much more.

Good luck, g

That's great you made good on your promise but don't go crazy.  It's not a Ponzi scheme but there are still no guarantees that you'll profit.

they could easily have paid out even without the benefit of new money - think about it; they have next to zero expenses and their payout is dependent only on difficulty and hashrate.

They could, but why on earth would they, given that most of them are anonymous ? You're assuming a "benevolent scammer" who will keep paying out according to the contract even though he is well past his peak profitability.  I think thats a rare breed.

 No I'm not really even saying scammer let alone benevolent!  What I'm saying is they were operating using a business model that would have paid out but nobody was ever going to ROI when diff was screaming up.  Nobody!  In much the same way as people never expected house prices to decline which cause the huge problem in the US when people couldn't pay their inflated mortgages.  They also had the major flaw of extremely long term contracts with no maintenance fees...

I would say, that there are enough idiots standing up every morning to drive a successful ponzi scam.

 These so-called Ponzis really weren't Ponzis until difficulty stagnated.  When difficulty was increasing exponentially, they could easily have paid out even without the benefit of new money - think about it; they have next to zero expenses and their payout is dependent only on difficulty and hashrate.  They could easily undercut real mining companies. The fly in the ointment is the stagnation of difficulty otherwise they would be thriving.  (Barring the exposure by Puppet of course)
