1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Creativex / basic-mining on: October 17, 2020, 04:17:53 AM
This probably interests no one but I'm now fairly certain now that Eric Corlew (CreativeX; the scammer behind bASIC mining) was an alias used by Brett Corlew. Brett and Eric Corlew are one in the same person. Eric was a known alias of Brett Corlew according to this reference: https://mugshots.com/search.html?q=%20Brett%20Michael%20Corlew.

Looking further into this, it looks like he was killed in a motorcycle accident a few months back. (https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/1-dead-after-crash-in-cutlerville/) "...a 51-year-old Grand Rapids man, was killed. He was identified Friday as Brett Corlew." This matches up with his DOB.

bASIC mining was one of many scams perpetuated through the guis of mining operations early on in bitcoin's history. I would have loved to hear his side of the story, but sadly I don't think that will ever happen.

Also, is there a mobile wallet app in the works?

Thanks for this, yours and others' posts helped me get mine working.
I'm mining LBRY and one thing that I found with suprnova is that the -dwal setting needed to be [usernameforsite].[workername] (without sq brackets) and -dpsw needed to [workerpassword]

Hope this helps someone else.

What kind of hashrates did you get out of this?  I was mining Eth at 30mh per card but when I switched to dual mining LBC, I was getting 23 Eth and a pretty low Library hashrate(40 i think).
I didnt go back to try a -DCRI setting but it doesnt seem like would work given that they are both low already.
thx
I figured it out.  Needed to update EthOS to claymore 10.  getting 357 Eth and 1030 LBC on 12 card rig.  I am good with that!!

Hi, I was getting ~30 for ETH solo per card, and it dropped to 27-28 when dual mining.

I'm not sure if there's a more recent thread for this, but the bASIC-Mining one was locked a few months back, (apparently by creativex himself). [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130982.2100]

I know it's been years, but this scam still intrigues me and would love it if we could come to some sort of conclusion or get a response from creativex. I know he was still active on these forums as late as May for posting and deleted some details in the original bASIC-mining thread more recently.

In the btt thread above, there's discussion on a Google group, (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/basic-mining), and some photos of what looks like, Eric's brother, Brett Corlew. I think this is Brett's facebook profile → https://www.facebook.com/brett.corlew.7 maybe he knows something more about Eric's whereabouts. Here's some more info on him & his criminal history → https://www.rapsheets.org/michigan/doc-prisoner/CORLEW_BRETT/781538.

In the obituary of Eric's mother, → http://obits.mlive.com/obituaries/grandrapids/obituary.aspx?pid=171725093 it states that she is survived by a few grandchildren, I wonder if they're the children of Eric's, Brett's, (or other siblings). One of them, Kyle Corlew, looks like he has a Facebook profile → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008674654405 and possibly also Brandon Corlew here → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011765444623.

Anyone else still interested in pursuing this or am I the only one?

Second day with Ethos. Loving it so far. What do I need to change to dual mine dcr?

Here you have my config in case it helps:

Local.conf
Code:
globalminer claymore
maxgputemp 85
stratumproxy enabled
proxywallet 0xMyEtherWalletInHere
proxypool1 pool-eu.ethosdistro.com:5001
proxypool2 pool-usa.ethosdistro.com:5001
flags --cl-global-work 8192 --farm-recheck 200
globalcore 1200
globalmem 2350
globalpowertune 3
globalfan 40

Claymore.stub.conf
Code:
# WARNING! Miner loads options from this file only if there are not any options in the command line!
-colors 0
-dbg -1
-esm STRATUMTYPE
-epool POOL1
-ewal WALLET
-epsw PASSWORD1
-eworker WORKER
-allpools 1
-gser 2
-allcoins 1
-wd 0
-ethi 16

#Dual-Mining Params
-mode 0
-dcoin sia
-dpool stratum+tcp://sia-eu1.nanopool.org:7777
-dwal MySiaWalletInHere
-dcri 20

These are my stats:
Code:
GPU #0: Ellesmere, 8145 MB available, 36 compute units
ETH - Total Speed: 28.799 Mh/s, Total Shares: 15, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:55
ETH: GPU0 28.799 Mh/s
 SC - Total Speed: 575.982 Mh/s, Total Shares: 14, Rejected: 0
 SC: GPU0 575.982 Mh/s
Incorrect ETH shares: none
Pool switches: ETH - 0, SC - 0
Current ETH share target: 0x00000000dbe6fece (diff: 5000MH), epoch #127
Current SC share target: 0x0000000007547ff5 (diff: 150GH)
GPU0 t=62C fan=40%
Wattmeter says 198W on Mining time!
The system is consuming 50W with GPU and before starting mining, and 20W without GPU.

The GPU is a "MSI RX 580 GAMING X PLUS 8GB (SAMSUNG)" and my MoBo is a "MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING 3X".

I have been testing under/overclocking mem and gpu and the best config I found is that one I have now.
My next step is try under/overvoltaging mem and gpu and do some bios tuning in order to go beyond 28.8MHs on Dual Mining and try to reduce my Power Consumption...

Anyway, I am a little bit surprised about that 2350 MHz my memories can reach, I have been reading and didnīt found any other value like that one. Anyone have an idea why?
By the way, latest ethOS and Claymore versions in here.

BR!

I hope one day we find this guy. bASIC-mining was a scam by creativex and he should pay for his crimes.

Hi Doog,

Are you going to be selling your website/code? Surely there would be willing bidders.

P.S. Thanks for the 3 btc profit over the last 9 months.

The 24h Avg is more than 4x our highest IPO price. Let me crunch some numbers and determine if it makes any sense to buy shares back, and if so at what price point.
well considering the additional 1625 shares that were added for the extra rig was traded at close to .70 it might be worth buying a small amount back.

then the rig cost us virtually half!

then again, you're the brains.

What about bASIC buying back 1000 or so shares while the prices are low?
10  Other / Archival / Re: btt on: August 02, 2013, 02:20:50 PM

I'm still formulating a plan for these reserves. There are a multitude of options coming and the field changes daily. At this particular moment I'd like to say we're going to order 10+ 400Gh/s Bitfury kits, but I don't know because they're not available yet & haven't been reviewed yet. I have the same information everyone else has.

Cheers.


I pretty much creamed myself imaging what 10x 400Gh/s would feel like.

Hi, I'm not an expert but certainly not a newbie. I've got shares in asicminer (tat.) & bASICmining and have owned btc since feb '13.

One thing I was initially confused about was, after all BTC have been mined, whats the incentive for people to keep providing the network which validates the transactions? but transaction fee's will ultimately increase providing ongoing revenue to miners.

I'd like to request being whitelisted because I joined this forum to become a part of group buying for erupters and although I visit this site regularly for information and interesting opinions, I don't currently have the need to partake in the discussion for discussion sake.

Please whitelist me. :-)
