Maybe that's just me, but i can see that message only on the index page. To the right of the trade history:

I'm out for now, have a great day/night/time folks!

Ah, thanks for pointing that out! I haven't actually checked daily for a few days now. Where did you read that?
There have been at least 6 different update messages on the website itself, nonetheless.
Right now it still says "...Process taking longer than expected with fixing DB , ..." - though, since the site is not reachable over the URL, that might not be relevant.

We'll see i guess...

edit: Oh i reckon you mean formal news in that news section, right? Yeah, that was handled poorly.

Sry, i must have put that to broad. What i think is probable, from my experience in programming and with (lazy) programmers, is that their system might treat all coins the same. So all coins in the data bank would be potentially seen as stake-able, and they just set options. If so, they might not get the info about what account has what balance before they did actually fix the data bank. And the data bank, they said last, is the problem.

Again, that just is a idea for why it would be not that easy, don't take it for facts please. I haven't checked the balances like other users here have.

I got the IP address from the FlagFox-plugin for IceDragon/FireFox i use, that shows server location, Flag and IP in my URL bar thingy. I then note IPs when i make Bookmarks to minimize the risks of phishing sites and stuff. You should be able to find that with a quick search, if interested
If i click on it now i get this: https://iplookup.flagfox.net/?ip=104.20.209.69&host=bitcointalk.org for example.

I might be totally wrong, so do some research if you really want to know; but from what i reckon it's not that simple.
In order to have pooled staking they need to have all coins in one wallet, right. So they have an complicated account data bank, managing your staking percentage and your shares and so on. With that you can't just give away any private keys to single percentages of that pools wallet... migrating that to new hardware really must be pain in the butt.
I'm probably ignorant, thinking that is obvious...

The website can be accessed btw: http://185.66.140.234/term.php

Hey Guido72, i'm totally contempt with them not coming back, as mentioned i got way more out than what i put in and what is in my account now.
Nice stealth referral btw I'm already there since day one;)

Hey Kylo Ren, thanks for the tip, i'll have a look for sure!

For everybody being miserable over losses: Next time make sure to get your investment back out quick to lessen the hit if something goes down!

I'd definitely continue to use the exchange if it comes back. Had really good experiences all the way up until the whole crypto market went ape shit in late December. I got way more Dosh out than what i put in and the Support was doing their thing. Don't know anyone else's story of course.

The FUDDERs, that harassed the host and whatnot, are obviously to be thanked for making the situation "that much better"... can't be changed now, so no use in being salty. But we should probably remember, when they cry wolf next time they assume something.

Has anyone a link to the TOS handy for all the folks that still talk about legal actions? They really need to finally read what they agreed to; 'cause there is no legal action that could be taken. Never have been. Not that any feds would help people invested in crypto anyways

Are you confient Cryptopia will make a turn? I could not do any trades with LTC or DOGE for more than a week and the BTC fees + minimum trade value required are not a good environment for coins of low value - so for now, that sucks i think...

I'm interested in why you think Cryptopia will be a strong support, because i am keeping my distance from Cryptopia for some time.
CoinExchange is pretty rad though.

That's possible, isn't it  
But considering their English has been a little off before: It could also mean that they have trouble now with their Hosting provider. So maybe they need to change because Hosting wants them gone? At least that's what i took from it and what pissed me off earlier... It would certainly be really stupid of them to attack the users - though it looks like there is some bitterness in there. yeah... we'll see hoe that turns out.

I have no first hand experience with Kraken; heard they are pretty big, aren't they? So they got a bit support team and all, is what i am thinking.

Has anyone seen any of the wallets coming online again? I haven't seen wallets being online since yesterday.

If you are referring to my last pose - i am not actually a defender of CM by any means nor crying.

I have posted a few days back when the FUD got thick, that people should calm down.
That was when some users announced they where going to purposely harass the host and "call the police"...
So i told them nice and calm, that this won't do any good, if anything at all. FUD affects people and all.

I've got an position myself in the Exchange that i'd accept lost, but rather get back of course.
However, i realize that we did not know anything solid to take action upon, and said so. That's basically it.

I'm not really a new user btw, i just usually mostly read


Oh yeah, Patel345. I'm sorry i used ... storytale.
I don't actually know what that slang stands for, but it seems to have really upset you.
Much sad, such sorry, wow

Great so the IDIOTS stroking each others hate-boners have finally achieved something.

They achieved that we all have to wait longer by putting more obstacles in the teams way... hoo-fucking-ray, well done!

There have been numerous detailed very simple explanations why a witch hunt at this point and during the last days was of now use.
Still, the same people furthered FUD, harassed the host and whined to the point where they actually caused acute harm to the situation.

Just like it was explained to them, over and over again - this was the only thing they could possible achieved...
How can one be so immature, impatient and narrow sighted.
All money held in any exchange you can't effort to loose is your fault to begin with.

It wasn't CM taking their Page down, it is the situation of hundreds of thousands of people coming into crypto every day.

I haven't been able to make trades on Cryptopia for days cause they "Pause Markets" all the time.
Binance, Cryptopia, Bitfinex and several other even bigger Exchanges have Paused (some still today) registration for new users.

Who is seriously surprised, that the current situation is too much to handle for a small exchange...

It's disappointing yeah - but all that FUD and pseudo self righteous attacks didn't help at all - it made the situation worse!
And that is not a surprise. That was from the beginning the only logical outcome -.-'

If CM turns out to be fraud, you did not help! If CM comes back, you made it harder and take longer! That simple.

There is no body here who knows anything. That's a fact.
Everyone calling scam and fraud and whatnot are speculating, concluding, assuming or whatever you want to call "making shit up and pretending it was reality".

I said before, a few pages back, that speculating and spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt won't do anything good at all. It will not affect whether or not the exchange comes back, how fast if, or if you get your money back. That's just how it is!

There are things that are affected by spreading FUD though. People's life. People who are prone to believing stuff and asking your words for truth will worry, fear for their investments and that negatively affects their daily life; while it does nothing to solve the situation at all.

There is a phrase to describe such behavior pretty good: Worse than useless

Further that talk about going to the feds or authorities... WTF, the feds don't care. They are actually busy, working out how they themselves can stop you from using Crypto. You must be joking: "going to the police"
Then of course there is the TOS that you all checked to have read and agree to - According to those you have no legal ground to go to the feds to begin with... let alone that nobody should ever, in any situation, give anyone more money than they can effort to lose. Everybody here knows that, right?

Making people worry. Having them worry while driving, being at work or (sadly also) being in school. That is all, that this negative speculation is achieving - nothing else! Truly, worse than useless!

I'll be just as disappointed if they turn out to be running - but i realize, that i don't know. So i wait, and see. Everybody try to relax

BTW there's a nice talk about the AML and Financial Surveillance by Andreas M. Antonopoulos. It also covers very well that this Phrase means.
Watch it. It will at least distract you for ~20 Minutes.

Cryptopia as been pausing trading yesterday too. And stopped new regristrations i was told by my brother. They also claim the new people coming in the space just being to much to deal with.

Tradesatoshi had very similar problems where some of my trades weren't going trough and one went trough 3 times; selling 1.8times what i wanted until i could cancel the extra orders...

There is just really too much traffic right now, everywhere. If it gets you so worked up, try to distract yourself

The whole site has been really slow and getting slower by the minute since around Xmas. Before it was like now, it went up and down every hour.
One news post they had was that they have so many new accounts being opened, that their infrastructure cant handle it.  Seems like it just collapsed in the end. Now they got additional or new servers and if last update is true are configuring those now.


A lot of west-european countries have massing high tech hosting companies especially the Netherlands and Germany host a lot foreign companies websites - so they being hosted by NFORCE.NL does not indicate they are dutch. Assuming, btw, has never ever helped anyone. It is literally taking something you don't know and pretending you know... in other words bullshitting yourself, wohoo;)

I hosted a website on Japanese servers for example, because the target audience was in that part of the world. So it might be a logistics thing, or security or something. Keep that in mind.

Of course i don't know anything; just reminding that speculations aren't helping anything - we will eventually know if they done goofed or if they did what they could to resolve the situation - so leave your pitchforks in the closet for now. I'll ask to borrow one IF needed

Also, the feds won't nor can't help ... just saying...

They did actually change the news/ head info displayed on the site 4(or so) times since it went unresponsive before it went completely down.

The page has been accessible for me a couple of times, even though i couldn't really do anything. However last news headline was that new servers have arrived and are being set up...

I personally would appreciate if they just focus on fixing shit instead of doing public relations. Each time i migrate my work stuff to a new environment it's a real pain in the rear - Can't imagine that being fun for multiple servers, wallets, security and whatnot. They probably have to triple check and benchmark everything on top...

I think we all should try to relax - no amount of speculation will change things or help in any good way.

One can't be sure of anything; but they would throw away massive bags of money if they don't come back online - so i dare to be optimistic for now

edit: corrected "auto correction" weirdness

WTF indeed - You are the only person i have seen claim both of your statements... where did you even get that from?

My MUT is staking fine and CoinsMarkets seems to make the proper effort to get thing back online. Obviously they make quite the bag of dosh, and losing out on it during this downtime... The site comes on and off - while being unresponsive; but the update messages and news change, so there is work being done.

Maybe you better have a nice big cup of "calm the fuck down" and watch a movie or play a game or something, while you wait.
I know it's unnerving, but we freaking out and starting rumors, doesn't help at all.

Of course i could be mistaking and you could be right, but i don't see anything supporting your worries. And getting worked up does nothing good.

So, just sit back and try to relax

Hey guys,
i got a few questions i could not find any answer for, so i figured i ask here. People might look here right...

I am using XMR Stak, both gpu and cpu, with shitty hardware and about 150 H/s btw. Probably only for fun a bit... Anyways

So first thing is about difficulty and results:
I read that some pools reward higher difficulty shares better, others based on percentage etc - but i can't find any real explanation... or info per pool either.
Is it linear? The value of a share; diff 1000 worth 10*diff 100; Kinda like that?

Then when i hit "R" to print the results, i get that top 10 table. Does that also correspond to the value of my shares?

Lastly about the "Your Stats & Payment History" lookup on the pools website (currently etn.uax.io, but the official one is identical, afaik).
I have been mining for about 2 hours now, results show 45/45 accepted shares,
but when i look up (in my browser) it says last share about 17 hours ago and 0H/s...

So am i wasting energy right now, or is that updated ... in some way i don't get?

Thanks for any effort made to clear things up

have you tried Electroneums own "Beginner's Pool Mining Software"?

downloads.electroneum.com

the first thing all the way up

you should have considered, that they for "security reasons" do not say who their team is - because you might be angry once you realize, your bitcoin is gone and you can't get it back... just my thoughts after seeing they actively avoid giving any information...

Don't invest into platforms that don't tell you who the team behind it is; you don't know:
 - is the team even real?
 - if it is real, are they qualified to do what they advertise?
 - does the team has any experience and prior failures or successes?
 - who do you punch when they steal your money?

I'll happily invest if i can answer those questions satisfyingly, until then i hope you get your money's worth or at least learn to research... obviously i hope things turn out well for you!

Not to point fingers or accuse anybody, but there is the common ...thing... of many faucet owners not regarding the payouts earned...

You can see that in the way they advertise and word their faucets. "Free BTC" and "Reward" - it's Earning
The fact, that there is a quasi-symbiotic relationship going on is either overlooked or not recognized.

Faucet users aka ad-revenue-enablers are earning whatever crypto they claim
by providing the service of looking at insultingly stupid adds and dealing with reCaptcha.

That being said;
I haven't had that impression concerning bitGolden or bitSilver for example (so far), but you know, it's pretty common...

I can imagine there being a rush because of the BTC-Gold fork and all. So i reckon things will normalize

I'm glad to see that you took the raCaptcha crap from half of your main pages.

However, you now have them in your bonus links (that are really mandatory to make it worthwhile  ).
That brings the same problem as before, half of the time the google captchas just freeze half way trough and i need to refresh the page...
The other half i get this: {"status":"error","message":"Bad Request.","url":""} ... and have to refresh the page...
I know that's not your fault (most likely) but it drives me off, each time i want to give your faucet a try.

I'm using that "Force Cache Loading" FireFox plugin so that refreshing websites takes slightly less than a day.
But if disabled the result is the same, just taking 3 time as long...

Thought i'd let you know - have a good one!

Yeah gets me too slowly -.-'

For the last week withdraw was not possible and the saying was "keep claiming" - well usually that worked, to be fair <- edit: only the butUniverse and hueFacet did not pay at all

Now i would need 2 days to payout if they would actually pay out 100 satoshi per hour... they don't... <- edit: only the butUniverse and hueFacet do not pay all the time

That's not even funny, no matter how dark your humor.

To you guys who work with referral stuff:
you should not wait and eventually stop promoting, you should stop until they fix stuff...

edit: i had not noticed yet, that ALL of these faucets have set this limit -.-
