why does this always happen on this site when it is most critical???

looking for sales on this and other items I make and I take various coin types, especially now while market is low just need paypal payment for shipping but principal you can pay in crypto, I have zero qualms with anything on BTC38 or Cryptsy.

looking for around 40 bucks plus shipping for it. or you can use the evilBay auction and preypal if you like too, I am flexible like that

and no replies ever to the messages I have sent, no not one.

As soon as I see it I disconnect from a pool, and I am thinking I am going to set up a protocol for myself where if I see it down more than 3 times in a week and I get zero response from the pool team, then I am just going to stop mining there, and take my hash else where, and let people know when I find a better pool. Right now? poolwarz.

Just on Cryptsy (CRAPSY) and getting all sorts of errors right when I am trying to withdraw my coins, to another exchange. will post pics but I am seriously expecting them to pull a mt.Gox on the world and dissappear with everyone's coins. I hope people did not have much on there, and those that did, I feel for you. maybe it is time to get some one together to go after one of these people if they do pull a disappearing act and make it a public event so any one else running an exchange that is planning on pulling a snatch and grab, will think twice?

why is it that I can send repeated emails or contacts to them *hashfaster* and nothing gets done, instead I have to come over here and say something publicly to get anything done about their pools, to get their attention?  seriously they apparently don't care about what is going on or what happens to our coins, and don't fall for that automated "your coins and hash are safe, we are investigating" crap, cause until someone complains publicly, and they stand to receive bad press, they do nothing, and I have calculated out the coins I should be receiving and have seen that everytime I did  not complain about missing coins, I got nothing during the outage, when I have complained I got far less added to my account than I lost,


also why is it they have the highest rate of orphans of any pool I have seen? seriously. ever 4 or 5 blocks they have usually two orphaned blocks,


I think it is time we stop hashing there and move to another pool en mass. I am definitely looking. and once I find a better pool I am gone, they can kiss my ass. I know if I was running a pool I would not treat it nor those mining with me so flippantly.

Kinda hard to let someone know their site is having a problem when you can not message them



will be keeping track of amount of coins I am supposed to be getting since they have that nice automated message that tells us all that everything is fine, and last couple times I checked I was short, until I complained.


***update, they are down again and have been now going on 23 hours as of this edit, and even with an email through their system, they still have not fixed the system,

as well as being down an awful lot (on poolwarz for 42 and I am getting payout so I know it is not the coin it self) but they also seem to have a TON of orphans, which equates to lost profits from mining with them, not seeing any orphans so far over on poolwarz, only complaint is that people are not hashing there, Maybe people should come and hash there instead.

I know how much I get in a given time frame, and I am literally seeing only what I mined while their "front end" is not disabled, so where are my coins going? I am not mining to give my coins away when someone decides they want my coins. seriously I would advise switching pools when they are "investigating" and claiming "your coins and hash are safe" cause apparently they are both safely in someone else's account and not yours.

its not loading again, and its that hm.baidu.com that is not loading, it gets stuck on that and eventually just gives up, then we have no trading info on their exchange, and that makes me paranoid to be have any money on their exchange, is there another site that is more stable???

Anyone else having trouble getting their coins out of dogehouse.org? I put in a manual withdraw like over two hours ago and it still has not gone through, never had this take so long, also though lately we are seeing 18 to 20+ hour blocks when we have so much hash it is incredible, I mean seriously what is going on??? I hope some one is not ripping us miners off

I have watched repeatedly how btc38.com has gone down or has serious problems over the last two weeks and is getting more frequent as time passes, if this is due to excessive new bandwidth from trades PAY FOR MORE BANDWIDTH!!! stop being damn cheap asses and pay for that fucking shit, because anyone watching the amount of coins passing back and forth between traders KNOWS you CAN afford it, and STAND TO LOSE A CRAP TON OF MONEY. if your site GOXX's OUT. future revenue is astounding as to what that site is GOING to make, and HAS made, so WHY OH WHY are you letting it go down the CRAPPER!!!, seriously get that shit fixed and do NOT let your site go away!!!

so ok things seem to be sorted, guess they did not prepare for the influx of non chinese speaking people using the english side, or they just got plain bumrushed on the market today by lots of customers on their regular side, or the cookie site they use was down for maintenance or something either way glad it is running again, as it is my favorite exchange site   I would be very sad to lose it


I guess I should add that I was having trouble all the way up till I shut off my browser (yet again) but this time when I fired it back up instead of letting it restore all the tabs I had open I shut down all but one for btc38.com, so I should say that maybe, having multiple tabs open to the same site on the same page or other pages (I track multiple coins that I trade in there so it makes it easier for me) might some how confuse the site's tracking and such for your login info maybe? anyway, just a thought to try if anyone else is having trouble logging in









-----original text for archival purposes-------
it has been giving me trouble all day today, mostly it is the hm.baidu.com that seems to be sticking terribly and eventually things give up. I have a ton of coins in there I am trading with and not being able to access this, is not good,

Are we about to be GOXXED by btc38.com???

Ok so I have been in the area of converting waste products into usable components and you can see a bit of it in the open air case I have photos of *that I am working on now* here. the rail that the video cards are resting on is part of an LCD TV that was discarded from around the screen,



and have turned sheet lexan clear material into prescription lenses (working on a way to make them for others based on their exam info but that will be a bit off from now) and have made lye (sodium hydroxide) from table salt, as part of the steps toward a process to turn waste vegetation into crude oil (yes crude oil like the stuff they make gasoline out of)

So the question is can we build an economy that is independent of fiat currency, at least other than shipping costs and if we get taxed, the fiat to cover the shipping and taxes (most shipping of items bought outside the state are not taxed by that state, at least in OK, a list of other states that do this as well would be a good idea. as well as how this work in other countries too)

I have read also of people turning microwave ovens into smelters for melting down iron ore to refine it, and smelting it to pour into molds, so anyone seriously interested in any area of production from raw goods to finished goods, recycling and upcycling should be posting their thoughts and interests here in the thread,

If we get enough interest one of us can start up a website and forum specifically for this, (or maybe they can start one up here just for talking and sharing help and advice on this here in the economy section?)

that and maybe watch a few of other peoples choices


(and maybe drop some choice lyrics to those more lyrical songs )

My dream turns out to be your nightmare.


It means I refuse this program for the mining of the Earth's oceans.
The destruction of a thousand billion sea creatures to satisfy Man's appetite for metal is insane!
You refuse to accept the truth, and I refuse to assist you in the rape of the Earth.

Death is a gentleman too.
He makes good losers of us all.
I understand death. Men have always taken it too seriously.
Life is more terrifying and more mysterious.

*******(sorry to anyone who is confused by the title but I had to use 4 instead of FOR since the title is limited on how many characters, however if after reading this, you have a suggestion for a shorter title that explains what is in the thread I am all ears )***********

anyone out there have a shelf, or mining rig that they got that seems a bit unsteady because of lack of contact point?

all of the square tubing rigs I have seen as well as most of the angle aluminum rigs I have seen all seem to suffer from this, and though a single case should not be a problem, when you start stacking them up with the weight of all the hardware on the above cases gaining leverage over the bottom case, I am sure it will not take much to cause it all to topple over causing a lot of damage to your mining hardware investments!

This is something that can be sorted incredibly easy and I am offering packages of reinforcement units to solve this if you feel this is important to you. also note that the stacking rigs that firmly connect, this should be able to be deployed on the bottom rig and maybe one or two in the middle of your stack of 6 or more lol, stabilizing the whole stack substantially even if you have box fans hanging off the side pulling on them a bit. though mounting them on all frames will give maximum stability

for a guideline I have the ones shown on this corner that measure an inch between holes and enough room in the cut out area to allow for 1 inch angle comfortably, with the edge from the sides of the angle being identical on both sides
also any rolling on the edges to avoid sharp edges is experimental and can be done as plain flat fold over to avoid the roll from intruding into your case inside volume of area, ( I noticed this with my very first design where the powersupply is mounted in the corner to the angle) (the one pictured at the end of this post has holes that work for 4-40 screws but the size of the screw hole is customizable up to one quarter inch sized screws and bolts if you want. also thickness is about .020 on the pictured one, but thicker metal can be used, just expect it to drive up the cost of shipping for a lot of them in one pack a bit lol.


8 pack of these would be 15 dollars made from aluminum sheet, and $12.50 for steel sheet. this is enough to mount say on the top bars on both sides all the way around to allow for there to be one that is always being stretched and one that is being buckled on no matter what direction your case is being pushed on avoiding any movement and giving maximum security, and if you insist on 20 of them (total of one for every corner around sides top and bottom and one for each corner on the top of the case) I can do custom cut out holes for thing to poke through like USB ports and what not. just let me know. On tube frames you will have to either drill all the way through the case to get a screw all the way through and a nut on the back side of it if you can not do threading on the tubes and this is of course much easier on angle.

if you want something with custom hole placement and sizing and I am sure I can work something out for you. (I can also coat them with epoxy enable spray before shipping for a small extra charge if you want.


just let me know what you are seeking package wise and I can get you a quote on custom units, or custom quantities and see what we can do to cut down on shipping costs. I can even do double box bends so you can mount to the inside faces of those tube cases to avoid any thing even as thin as a screw head or the bracket from sticking out the sides of the case, again just let me know.

on shipping charges I can pack quite a few of these into a one pound cost box to ship them to you. so holding off and ordering all of them at once will save quite a bit since priority mail for a one pound or under box is only about 5.50 to most of the US states.

****edit 2

for those not comfortable with any of the above, I will be making cases shortly that use 1/8th thick aluminum angle and will be possibly offering some with titanium angle too, and will be including these and all the custom brackets to mount hard drives and optical drives as well as two power supplies, 6 GPUs, larger case fans on back and side if desired as the mounts will have several contact points, for nearly all parts even the rails to set and clamp down the GPUs to change the height they sit over the motherboard, and motherboard for around 175 and future upgrades will be things like quick change contact points to stretch air filter covers over them so they still allow maximum air flow but catch most of the dust, cutting down on your maintenance of you systems, and you can just toss the filter into the washing machine to clean them periodically, possibly even with custom patterns printed on the filters to tidy the look of your mining farm up a bit

Hello, this is my first post about selling for crypto currencies so I will update this post as needed to correct it for any mistakes I may be making in protocol for doing this here, Please let me know if there is anything I need to do to make sure it is correct here.



so as seen on the last post I have posted pics of what I am doing to make an open air mining case, spots for 3 powersupplies motherboard hard drive (possibly a spot for an optical drive under this, will see, though, and up to I believe 7 video card spots on hanging rails that give better support than anything that has been put out that I have seen so far. more pics to come.

ok, so the items I am offering starting right now with this:(these have been sold, and shipped, more to come, have some brass with surgical grade stainless hardware coming shortly and eventually the second and last pair of titanium goggles will be placed here as well, in the mean time I am still open to custom orders and working on developing the most efficient and effective open air case as well. (first one of those has been shipped to my friend who is now giving me feed back on what to change that I might have missed, and I also should soon have some hardware to get more nitty gritty into engineering a specific arrangement to give the maximum protection in all ways to the hardware going into it, not just to protect it from heat.  I have been seeing little by little people are becoming aware that the open air case designs on ebay and else where are not quite up to snuff but it seems most do not have any experience in engineering, so hopefully I can up the ante on that


a pair of titanium rimmed and bodied goggles with mirror brass tint lenses (I can change those out for silver mirror, transparent colors like: red, blue, yellow, grey(black), green, orange or just clear with no color tint,


***this info is still valid on upcoming goggles that will be available here, as is the colors of material I can make lenses from :red, blue, yellow, grey(black), green, orange or just clear with no color tint.

lens are made from either acrylic or lexan and are about 3mm thick (1/8th inch for those of us still on the imperial standard) so they are way way way thicker than the lenses you get on any pair of safety glasses, though due to the vents on the sides and how they are handled I can not guarantee safety with them, that is up to you and how you use them
  they have brass hardware for lubricity on moving points like the temples, and can be folded up neatly for storage, edges of the side shields (the part with the F hole like a violin body has, shaped like a landau bars on a hearse) are protected by rolled brass around them to make a comfortable and safe contact point on the face should they be pressed down on you from something hitting them while say wearing them on your motorcycle. and the nose pads are massive rounded comfortable steel pads that can be (at request) covered in soft leather or soft clear silicone as thick or thin as you like,

additionally each part is held together using screws (4-40 and 2-56) so any part can be replaced should they become damaged. and I will support this indefinitely (been in business for many years and been making these goggles for about 5 years now) so you can order anything from a lens, to a set of screws or nose bridge at any time to replace a part on them, or even order parts and assemble a pair from scratch even.




I can make goggles like this from (*and have been known to) aluminum, stainless, brass and copper as well as titanium.
and can use silver or gold if that is your gig eventually I hope to obtain a good source for niobium and other rare very durable metals, and have a way to anodize color onto the titanium if you desire, though there would be an extra charge for this, mostly for the time, so if you just want basic color over it all, not to bad on cost, but if you want me to use a paint brush and varied voltages to paint a pattern on them, which I can do, then it might be more depending on how long it took me to get it right

I will add some art to show my level of eye hand co-ordination too, so you know what you can expect.

I will add more stuff as time goes on. each item I make is hand made and assembled and all processes are often made by tooling I made my self so if you need custom tooling for leather or metal work feel free to shoot me a message here or on skype say at the user name architct

for payment I would be looking at about 200 dollars for these plus shipping. in btc I would want to get with you and do the transaction fairly quickly for any portion I need to restock so I can get the cash value with out having to over charge you incase of fluctuation in value. I am hoping to be able to start holding any money in btc or alt coins I am collecting that I do not need to operate my business so if you know of anyone selling raw resources that would deal in btc or alt coins, feel free to message me there on that too

so with that all in mind, what I am proposing is that I take either cashable coin or paypal for things like shipping and supplies (in the case of the above goggles I would want say around 5 dollars of it for screws as I will need to reup on those the most quickly, while other materials I can wait a month or more to reup on, and what ever it costs in shipping in one of those two ways, though paypal is the easiest to get a priority label to your destination quickly and mail something in hours to a day at most, as long as you did not contact me late on the end of the week lol then it would be monday morning first thing to ship to you.

I have an ebay account if you want to converse that way and see my feedback rating with customers. and if you see something over there you want to do a transaction using coins you can contact me here to make arrangements


ok so some art work I have done in the past and still have incase anyone is actually interested in obtaining that as well















also if you are still with me, some goggles I have made in the past that I can possibly make a few more of, (materials with the engraving is running low and no source to restock in site) the silver ones are a very heavy plated silver (like it was dipped or something) over brass, and the brass ones are just the same engraving stripped of the silver to reveal the brass under neath. the yellow mirror tinted lenses are the same as the ones on the titanium so you can see the color difference a lot easier here






*the last couple images should put a face to who is behind making all this stuff as that is me being silly with them for the photo shoots, (and no I dont have the means to work with real models, so like everything else I do the work myself )

on coin payments. I can take noble, btc, megacoin, as well as paypal. I will be expanding what coins I can take too, as time goes on, and may have forgotten some coins I am currently collecting.

I know nothing about the escrow services so far but if I did use one, I would add the cost of that to them, and require release of funds to ship before shipping, but they can hold onto the rest till your tracking number shows up and you let them know things are good

need any other contact info feel free to drop me a line here

as the title implies I have a business where in I manufacture things like goggles and the like (not going to post any links to my site or anything so as not to violate any rules here, but hopefully posting a link to a photo will be ok)

since we want to try and make the use of the coin, possible, I am looking for tips on the buying end too, for getting supplies for my trade (the goggles I make are made from solid metal sheet of various metals and nuts and screws, so finding someone willing to take alt coins for these supplies would be paramount, to avoid having to cash out my coins for a fiat currency) any help would be appreciated both in processes to keep payments safe going out and keeping them sorted on incoming since there does not seem to be much info there when you get a coin payment, to know who it came from. (since I manufacture a real world good that has to be sent to the person, the anonaminity is not really possible to that level here, however I am open to methods that continue to protect one's privacy here too.

ok just so people do not think I am talking BS here, here is a pic of a pair of the goggles I make.

(sorry these are not in spoilers to keep it clean, if anyone can direct me to how that is done I will hide them so those coming can avoid having to load them just to read replys)














one last pair that is a more basic pair



Please no inquires as to purchasing or anything, I am putting any of that on hold to work these details out as this is a hobby business I would like to turn to support the structure of the crypto currency market, by buying resource to build and then selling product with and for crypto currency, obviously things like shipping require pulling some out but we can maybe become a little less dependent on the system that strangles us each day little by little I think.

ps I am in the USA in green country Oklahoma if location is relevant to how to do safer business.
