Hello,

RE: Re: (Ask?) Hashprofit

I actually found out by going to the site and had noticed the domain missing. Hm. Thought it was a typo. There's always something about mining services -- If the service has the equipment, then there's no going down --. DDOS attacks are against servers, not mining equipment. In any case, such an attack declaring that a cloud mining server array is attach the web or internet by direct connection is nonsense. These cloud services has API interfaces and the only direct linking from client to server is the API interface. I watched HP from the beginning and figured already by then one of the two thing were going to be announced.

Here's my other point. Hashie.co went down at the same time, but only after digging around it was discovered Hashie never owned equipment and didn't even own the interface, but only channeled the API. ASICminer and Rockminer owned all the cloud mining APIs so far, unless I'm mistaking. Hashie wasn't about nothing anyway!

The difference between the two was that Hashie.co never posted business nor contact information -- a sure sign not to conduct business with this company or a company as such. The scope of "anonymity" and cryptos is ridiculous anyway because there's no such thing as an "anonymous company" and certainly no such thing as conducting business anonymously -- it's absurd! I actually contacted HP and thought the company was in good shape, but I personally think they were taken by their supplier. Their operation wasn't full-proof nor protected as a lesson learned conducting business in the "dirty -dirty."

Hello,

RE: Re: Armory, Bitcoin Core take a long long time to install: 48 hours + (BTC = null;)

Just thinking (as an AWS admin,) if the BCDB can be downloaded and only needs to sync therefrom, then certainly images of the BCDB can distributed via offline for delivery (and yes I did check out that library via the link.) Of course it would take a 50GB - 60GB flash drive; it's something to offer rather than downloads. My real concern on the issue was that, so much for security, it doesn't make sense anyway to download the BC to a PC no more than using an online service (w/o having a root key.)

Honestly, I'd rather have a server-to-server daemon on an AWS EC2 instance that regularly gets the BCDB and then configure the Amory software to connect to the instance (like anything else.) Perhaps, it's something I might look into doing, -- really considering it, but this other stuff -- hurry up and wait -- just defeats technology.

Thanks
