I opened a ticket with cryptsy and got a pretty fast response that the problem is on their end. This is what they said, "We are having an ongoing issue with the LKY wallet locking up its server. We will continue to figure out the cause and get it resolved as soon as possible. Sorry for any delays"

I also PM'd keyur and I also have had no response.  My ticket also went from unassigned to assigned to CampBX Support but my suspicion is that was an automatic thing.  Still a whole lot of nothing for me.  I did also use a facebook account to post to their facebook page and I see that another person with the exact same scenario has also posted to their facebook page.  So looks like CampBX support is either really slow or non-existent.

What is BlackArrow's track record in terms of making their own time estimates?  BFL also made FPGA's and they also sell an actual product, but they still suck beyond belief.

Wondering same...

I misspoke in my first post, it was actually Monday.  It was Tuesday when I opened the support ticket so this morning was the 2 day mark for the non-responsiveness of their support.  With BTC price heading up again it would be really nice to get it back today.  But honestly this is entirely a problem on their end.  They gave me the address and I sent the BTC.  I could have included a fee to make sure it was confirmed faster but they say the address is good for 3 days so there really should be no issue here.  I should not have to make a big deal to get access to my own BTC on their exchange.

I have purposely avoided ever creating a facebook account but maybe I should get a throwaway for that.  At least it would make my complaint highly visible so they may have some motivation to fix it.  Thanks for the idea.

I generated a brand new BTC deposit address at CampBX on Monday night.  I sent 1 BTC to this address without including a fee.  It did not get picked up in a block until about 16 hours later.  At first my CampBX account showed a pending deposit.  By the time the transfer was picked up on the blockchain my CampBX account no longer showed a pending deposit.  The transfer has long since been fully confirmed now though and still my CampBX account shows nothing.  I opened a support ticket on CampBX as soon as I had 6 confirmations and my CampBX account still showed nothing since they say it should be available in my account after 6 confirms.  And the result...nothing.  No response at all.  No activity on my ticket.  Big black hole.

Edited: I had said the transaction was Tuesday night but it was Monday night.

Edited thread title

There are other threads about this around.  Sounds like you risk long waits and headaches but there are success stories as well.

I would be interested to hear if you find a reliable place to turn your BTC into USD Rob.  Seems like a bit of a problem from what I can see.

Just tested .5 BTC.  They sent me an email to confirm which I got right away.  I clicked the link in the email which took me to a page that said something in Russian.  I translated that and it said "The application was successfully validated."  And now I see the pending transaction on the blockchain (no confirms just yet).  So it all looks fine to me.

I tried to deposit 1 last night and it hasn't shown up in my account.  No response from support. 

Yes.  I had never deposited there before so I had to create a brand new one to have one at all.

I have had an account at campbx for a long time but I only just decided to try and use it because they now have ACH.  I had thought to use it to sell 1 BTC last night when the price spiked.  So I transferred one bitcoin over there and it has vanished.  Not an auspicious start for me.  It has only been since last night so not a huge deal but so far no response from support at all.  Too late to take advantage of the price hike of the last 24 hours but at this point I am just hoping I can get my BTC back in a timely manner.

This^  Plus the one I got hashes at 20% less than advertised despite the fact that the website claims +/- 10%.  I tried to get my money back when it was 6 months after my order and they still hadn't delivered it but they refused and I had to wait a couple more months to get a pile of crap that wouldn't have ROIed even if it had delivered the full hashrate, hell even if it had double the hashrate.  BFL stands for Big Fucking Liars.  Seriously I think lying is part of their business model.

Well that's ironic.  Exact same story here right down to the delivery date. 

per the cgminer readme:

On windows, the direct USB support requires the installation of a WinUSB
driver (NOT the ftdi_sio driver), and attach it to the Butterfly labs device.
The easiest way to do this is to use the zadig utility which will install the
drivers for you and then once you plug in your device you can choose the
"list all devices" from the "option" menu and you should be able to see the
device as something like: "BitFORCE SHA256 SC". Choose the install or replace
driver option and select WinUSB. You can either google for zadig or download
it from the cgminer directory in the DOWNLOADS link above.


When you first switch a device over to WinUSB with zadig and it shows that
correctly on the left of the zadig window, but it still gives permission
errors, you may need to unplug the USB miner and then plug it back in. Some
users may need to reboot at this point.


This worked for me.  I am using my jalapeno with cgminer.  Be aware though that cgminer crashes from time to time for no reason.  This is with 3.7.x, I am test driving 3.8.1 now so don't know if it is still an issue.  I posted a work around thread though for the crashes which works well for me: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=330027.0

I didn't have my miner app crash on me when I was using GPU mining, it was always the vid driver.  But now that I have some ASICs I see my cgminer randomly crash, often after working just fine for hours.  For my GPU miners I did something similar to what I am going to recommend here except that I had a script which made them shoot me an email and then reboot (since the video driver would almost never allow me to just restart mining without the reboot).  In this case though, ASICs will allow you to just restart the miner.  So to get my miner back up and mining without my intervention I use this method.

I created a batch file that checks if cgminer is running.  If cgminer is running then the script exits, if it is not running it launches it.


Launcher.bat is simply the batch file that I use to launch cgminer in the first place.  If you use a different miner and have a similar problem you can just change the executable name in both places of the first line.

I could make a scheduled task to just run this on a regular basis (every 5 minutes or something) but instead I have a scheduled task that runs this only in the event of an application crash event in the event log.  Since the event log only specifies the crashing app in the details, any crashing application will cause this to run which is why it needs to check for cgminer running first in case some other app is what crashed.  Generally though my miners are dedicated and nothing else is happening on the box so an even log event of 1000 in the application log should always be a cgminer crash for me.

Also, depending on how your mining app is crashing and whether or not you have error reporting on you may want to see this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4528697/how-to-immediately-terminate-crashed-application

My bad, my eyes must be playing tricks on me.  I can totally see numbers there now. 

Although it is cleaner looking I am not loving the shifts page.  Although it shows a hashrate my percentage is just 0.0000 for every shift.  Kind of liked seeing the score more better.

Classic!
