It'd be nice to know if there was anything i could do to swap the small amount of 1k coins i have as i was on vacation during the swap time period. Anyone feel like imparting some advice? Should i just chalk it up to a wasted bit of mining time?

so annoyed i missed the takeover and have a ton of BTC-T sitting in my old wallet now.

resolved by dumping the privkey for that address to mycelium on my phone. Feel free to close this out.

So, I initiated a send of roughly 0.27 BTC to my coinbase account earlier today while my wallet was still synching, now that it is fully caught up the transaction is sitting there indicating it was not broadcast through any nodes, question mark beside it and the tx id is nowhere to be found on the blockchain either. I imagine once the sync completed I may have had slightly less than the 0.27 transaction I initiated but if that is the case will I get the BTC back since there is no actual tx id? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I gave up, watched my dgm drop from 0.03 to 0.016 in 2 days. Such a damn waste ;\

What's it going to take to get someone to point a 100 terrahash cannon at the pool to help get this damn thing done? le sigh

Yea, i feel the same. Though i think im finally going to stop sending hashes its way again because im sick of simply maintaining 0.027 and gaining bs pps in the meantime.

Down again? Getting a nginx error page when trying to load mmpool.org

Sadly my day job is being a security analyst for a large Fortune 500 and I'm responsible for investigating attackers, theirs tools, bots, etc and sadly some of the most sophisticated pieces of auto spreading botnet malware is out there and readily available with instructions so a 13 year old can run a massive botnet capable of stealing creds and emptying accounts on any BTC or Alt crypto wallets, related site exchanges and pool sites as well as utilizing gpus for mining in the background quite effectively. I've seen some stuff out of russia recently that will actually hijack boxes mining with asics and simply reroute the work via dns to a stratum mitm server so everything looks good, except your stats on the site. I guess it would work with folks who don't constantly check on their miner shares.


BTC and Alt crypto mining is huge in the script kiddie botnet community and most have at least xpm or cpu coin miners these days. So yes, the smart scammers make quite a shit ton a day unless they get caught. Also sadly not common.


Anyway,
my 2 cents

I know that if your pushing at least 40 THS of mining power right now you can make 1.0196 every 24 hours. This is taking into account electricity costs etc but not luck nor price of the initial mining equipment. If you want to make 1 BTC a day, you can either become a crypto day trader, though making a significant amount daily will require utilizing a Trading Bot, you can work some successful marketing campaigns for other big name sites that have affiliate programs(Easiest route if you have experience in advertising, SEO or Running Advertising Campaigns), many people I know currently have been making a fortune daily simply buying Ghash's from cex.io for users in japan and china and taking their payments via paypal, many people also do big referral campaigns for in the cloud mining providers like cex so for example from every user you refer, you get 3% hashing power based on how many Ghs they have purchased, you can also sell voucher codes from cex.io on ebay and make a decent amount.

If you want to try In the Cloud mining I would stay away from CEX.io(they charge 26 cents per ghs, too much imho) and check out Zencloud from Gawminers(the folks in my signature) or other alternatives and make sure that you are purchasing enough hashing power to make ROI on your initial investment(also check out what people on the forums are saying about any other ITC mining providers as some are not good at all or scams.). Simply Google Bitcoin profitability calculator and you will find numerous tools to help you determine roughly how much you will make depending on hashing power, electricity costs, initial hardware pay and more. If you intend on mining.

Once you learn more about BTC you will find more ways than I can think of at the moment to earn BTC whether via methods similar to the ones discussed above, to bitcoin integration services for local businesses, white glove miner setup and hosting offerings (i.e you do all the work and become a persons cloud mining provider) and as I said, more than I can name. Check out ebay, the marketplace forum here and other locations and see how others in the community are making their BTC fortunes, follow their lead or create a money making strategy based on theirs.

If your still very new to BTC and are interested in understanding mining, I'd be more than happy to send you a few usb miners for free so you can get a better understanding of the process. I only ask that you pay the 5$(if in the US) for the priority shipping box, so if you want a few block erupters and maybe a antminer shoot me an address to send to and send 5 dollars to my btc addy or i'll give you a paypal address to cover shipping.

Anyway, I wish you luck and if you ever become one of the bitcoin billionaire whales, I am always accept donations for my daughters MIT fund


Good luck and Take Care,

As someone barely pushing 90ghs, im worried that if i drop out now my nearing 0.03 of DGM payments will drop to nothing by the time its solved leaving me with 33 days of wasted mining with mmpool.org. Any suggestions? I've tried playing around with pool management strategies in attempt to keep my DGM up to a degree but it still degrades pretty quickly, so I'm wondering if just going with another pool entirely at this point would be more profitable than waiting on this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Also, i used to mine at ghash.io/cex.io for awhile but found they were taking the 26 cents per GHS maintenance fee from my hardware produced hashes. Just wondering if anyone else dealt with this issue and if they have fixed it, if not I'm going to bitminter or eligius as I tried a p2pool, elizium.name but was not pushing enough ghs to make anything at all.

I've got two rock miners pushing about 40 ghs each, 2 red fury's about to be pencil overclocked and 4 antminters overclocked to 2 ghs each. All other pool suggestions welcome as I've done a lot of research for what will be the most profitable except p2pool keeps coming back as the best and i am hesitant to buy anymore mining hardware this late in the game since I'll likely never see ROI. Also, if anyone knows of a reliable source for properly priced rockminer r-boxes or other sha256 hashing equipment that isn't going to kill me on wattage or via my wallet please let me know as GAWMiner seems to be focusing on scrypt these days.


much love,

So, I've noticed my pps balance has recently stopped increasing even though my PPS BTC Payments for Round section is showing .05 ish. Nothing in pending so just wondering if someone could explain? my username is deadtro.

Ready to tap out myself. Will this 750 hour round ever end?

Would love some info on this as well. <3

Any idea when support for Rockminer r-box's will be available without having to hack up the code?

Can someone link me to the copies of BAMT which do not steal? Heck even looking for a non scrypt specific copy too =\ a List of links to NON thieving confirmed copies of BAMT in one place would really be a useful resource for the community imho. IF there already is one, let me know.

I'd love to find a viable alternative to cex.io that dosen't fee me to death. Lets hope this is legit.

Agreed, don't trust these guys even with their cute re-branding. I kept over 5 btc in there like a damn moron and was raped during the hack, over 8 emails to support and hell even tried to call them but got stoned walled. Went to check their site today and it appears i still have an account with a lovely balance of zero. I love how they don't even address what happened anywhere on the site or have an option for people to recover their lost coins.

sigh, if only i had all the coins i lost the fly by night pools or sites that disappeared after getting owned.

I have been a security analyst for the past decade and crypto mining botnets are really all over the place these days, I find it highly likely with speeds like that with that much fluctuation this is very likely a botnet. Many CryptoCoin Mining malware and botnets have moved away from BTC and towards scrypt mining alt coins and more recently cpu PoW generated coins like XPM, ProtoShares and basically anything with a high value in BTC. Its a lot less noticeable to have 10 thousand or more machines using their CPU's for scrypt mining coins like DOGE or CPU mining other non scrypt coins compared to the GPU based BTC miners found in some of the older bots.(not to mention when spreading GPU mining botnets the infection campaigns need to target a specific user base, typically gamers with top of the line GFX cards). I really wish their was an easy way to fight these botnets but alas not many pool operators seem to care and those whom I have worked with to block the botnets usually felt the repercussions afterwards with DDoS attempts.

If anyone out there in the security field has any ideas or is working on any projects for detecting botnets compared to miners who are actually utilizing equipment they own I would love to hear about it.


much love
detro

p.s Also much love to multipool <3 , Let me know if you are interested in detecting botnets hitting your pool as I recently found the URL for your pool posted in a thread on a Russian Botnet Forum as a "safe places to mine".
