1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LINX] Linx | POW(Scrypt) | *** Q1 2018 Updates *** on: January 28, 2018, 12:01:18 PM
Well for what it's worth for anyone else who might encounter this, I downloaded the entire blockchain from the start again with the new wallet and all is well.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][LINX] Linx | POW(Scrypt) | *** Q1 2018 Updates *** on: January 28, 2018, 08:22:33 AM
Hi guys, I noticed a few days ago my older 0.9x version wallet had dropped a few hours behind with the wallet sync despite having multiple connections to the Linx network.  It runs on a machine I have dedicated to my core wallets and has good internet connectivity.  I had a quick look online thinking there may have been a fork or some other reason to explain this and discovered the update which meant I had to move to version 1.0.0.5.  I installed 1.0.0.5 and pointed it with -datadir= to the right location and have 8 active connections to the Linx network, however I'm remaining out of sync.
Top of the wallet reads: "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct!  You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."

This has been the case for several days now, even the new wallet does not seem to download the past few days of the blockchain.

getinfo gives me:
Code:
{
"version" : 1000005,
"protocolversion" : 70005,
"walletversion" : 60000,

}

getpeerinfo shows all peers are on version > 1.0.0.3:

Block 317137 seems to be as far as it's gone as I've not had any movement since that time.  Short of downloading the entire blockchain again, does anybody have any suggestions I could try? Any help appreciated, thanks.

Friend, if you want to buy any mining equipments, why cant you try amazon. Its a well known and genuine site. Why you want to try some unknown sites like minerondemand? Nowadays there are a lot of scam sites available out there and these scammers know that crypto community is the best for scamming. Anyways final decision is yours.

Agreed!  As stated above I ended up buying directly from BitMAIN Smiley

Thanks for the replies guys, when I asked about doing business through an escrow I was given some nonsense answer about that putting the price up 33% to 100% because of the increased "risk".   Pfft, yeah right.

Actually here's exactly what he said:

Using escrow or any other service will rise the price for  the product by 33% at least, more realistically by 50-100%  because of the risks, additional costs, taxes and so on.
Using escrow  that we never heard before will be safe  for you, not for us. BTC is the safest method for the  suppliers and risky for buyers.


This was in answer to an email I sent where I stated I'd be covering the additional fees from the escrow.  For a scammer, the language used in the email correspondence has been the best I've seen to date, digital currency seems to attract some very professional and legit looking scammers!

I was fortunate enough to snag a couple of L3+ units today for BitMAIN's November shipment so for me at least the timing was excellent.

My thread got moved because I originally posted in the wrong area - apologies, I'm new here!

Has anyone on here had successful dealings with these guys?

6  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: HMINERS IS A CONFIRMED SCAM!!!! on: August 29, 2017, 02:07:24 PM
Sorry to hear, I've found a site which looked a bit too good to be true so I've asked before handing over any cash here:

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to purchase some ASIC hardware (S9 & L3+) and stumbled upon http://minersondemand.com/ late last week.  The domain has only been up a few weeks and apart from a couple scripted testimonials on youtube here and here I've not been able to find any mention of them online.

They use Paypal as their payment portal however when I went to process my cart I was greeted with Paypal's "Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later." message.
 I emailed MINERSonDEMAND to enquire about supply and was told that Paypal have done the whole "freeze their funds for 180 days" thing because Paypal deem it "high risk business" presumably because it's BTC hardware.  I've known of Paypal to do this to legit merchants in the past when they start receiving high order volume, take for example jehugarcia's experience on youtube for a group buy of 18650 batteries.

I enquired as to whether or not I could pay using an alternative means, eg direct deposit or payment in BTC and they will accept the latter.  The site doesn't have the look or feel of a scammy site however some phishing emails I've seen of late have been pretty convincing so I know the scammers are lifting their game.

So I'm reaching out to the BTC community in the hope somebody can share their experience with this company, are they legit?  Any experience or feedback appreciated, thanks!

Do you know where in Australia Hminers are located?  I only ask as I'm an Aussie, their website suggests offices in the UK and US but I'm guessing you've done some whois digging to be saying that?
