Hello everyone. I am going to upload a pdf save file of their terms of order and I am going to upload a screenshot that was on their website on July 17th when my friend requested cancellation and refund of his deposits. After their default 5 months have passed reply he has already gone ahead and started legal action to recover his deposits.

These terms of order have been changed so many times it's ridiculous.

The terms we originally agreed to last year stated that we could cancel and get a refund at any time before shipment occurred.

Their current terms as of July 28th they have changed the miners specifications back down to 18MH/s and 90MH/s, as well as reintroduced negative clauses.

Terms & Conditions _ Alp...rar

You have a copy of the original TC?

Anyone else noticed a higher number of "Generated but not accepted" recently? Over the last 2 days I've had 20%.... 2 out of the last 10.

Maybe the number of coins I'm staking is too low (5-8 per "pile")?

Am using build v1.4.2.0-47-g7fecba1.
Try to increase your peer count.  5 per pile seems to be a great amount per stack, and that shouldn't have any affect on orphans anyway.

I have never had an orphan block since I have been staking CLAMs.

Here is where their business is located for those interested in visiting:

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.452332,-2.219297,3a,75y,151.3h,79.87t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s5BAzqXcCIAPoWaj5azXFnA!2e0
No... that is an unrelated accounting firm on the same block

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.452255,-2.220034,3a,75y,179.88h,73.98t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1svI3Rqy6d6rt4wpTbHzDoJg!2e0!6m1!1e1
The empty unit is the Alpha-T office address (picture taken before their sign).
The unit to the right is Father Akram's accounting business - someone that was definitely a director during the company structuring and while initial deposits were taken.



On another note tho, anyone think about contacting the law firm on the street to see if they'd take your case against Alpha-T? heh... Would be interesting to see if they say they can't due to conflict of interest - I wouldn't doubt that's Alpha-T's "top international law firm", hah.

wp should point to nicehash if their profit is higher.
why not
Because of many reasons.

1) If we point at nicehash, and someone rents from nicehash and points to us, what happens?

2) I'll get nonstop complaints that the reject rate went from a few percent to 10+%.

3) We would have to enforce using a specific miner (sgminer I think) because nicehash relies on extranonce extensions that we don't normally use

4) No one is really buying X13 hashrate on nicehash anymore, since there really isn't anything to mine...

1.ppl will only point to WP. since if WP has better profit , ppl will mine here;if nicehash is better, WP will point to nicehash.
2.  i dun have more than average reject rate un nicehash.
3.im not saying we point to multi-algo.  if our x11 point to nicehash x11, sgminer is not required. ive been using cg sph sg without problem in nicehash.
4. ppl do not always mine altcoins for bitcoins immediately.  some are just paying btc for some whattheybelievewillgettothemoon ones.
You completely misunderstood all of PoolWaffle's responses
1. You aren't getting it... You can BUY hashing power on NiceHash. People buy hashing power on NiceHash to mine at WafflePool. If WP directed hash to NiceHash, and that hash gets pointed back at wafflepool... Snake eating it's own tail - get it? It's a loop with no food (mining work, or destination coin).
2. Directly, maybe not, but the added latency from WP to NH via proxy would increase reject rates.
3. Yes you need to use sgminer v5 with NiceHash otherwise you regularly get force disconnected and have to reconnect. It has nothing to do with multi-algo, it has to do with the NiceHash specific extra-nonce extensions.
4. Not sure what your point is.

Source code release instructions:
1. Copy project folder to zip file.
2. Upload zip file

Also, .NET projects require some extra steps to obfuscate the EXE, last time I checked.
186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Pandapool Info on: July 27, 2014, 05:42:19 PM
I would just like to know, why not release the source code?  You never answered that - what's your reasoning?

If you posted this to share... then share the source?

… as each day passes, it's looking more and more like Alpha-T are not going to ever deliver.

If they can't deliver an update, how can they deliver a product ?
Well, I do have to say that based on the recent company shares dispersal, they probably contracted the entire project to some 3rd party in China (because they failed to have it built themselves). 
So, the whole "relayed through multiple parties" line might have some truth to it.

Oh... I just almost made myself laugh.

Oh god... please don't judge linux mining based on the awefully built 32bit BAMT OS running off a flash drive with no swap space...
I'm not judging any OS ; )
Btw, Win runs fine from USB flash stick with no swap space.

Try a real linux install with some swap space and you'll be able to load any size opencl kernel, even with very little free RAM - this is my experience anyway.
Do you have experience with 6xGPUs, 40960 TC, scrypt on *nix?
I have run 6x R9 290s on an ASRock Pro BTC board with 2GB of RAM, and never in my testing did I hit a -4 error. So... yes.
TC?
I had just edited my post to explain better, but you ninja'd a fast reply. I tried tons of TC values in my testing. Can't remeber the max I ever tried, but I never hit a memory error that wasn't due to a lack of GPU memory.

"Why don't you just bootstrap your backports blah blah blah" Grin

It's completely understandable, that some ill-educated ppl will blame Win in the first place ; )

In this case it's either ocl or driver or cgminer or OS. Imo it's not OS, cause ppl get the same issue on BAMT https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=13137.msg98983#msg98983
And issue exists with any driver I've seen so far.

Its not about comprehension anyone makes mistakes mate. I never used any language as you would notice that says or implies your level or grade of cleverness or stupidity. It is you who told me my level you think I am on....I just think that you must have it bad and the more you rant and rave the more I understand your level of incompetence to handle a situation. Have a absolutely marvellous day.
Ask stupid questions on the internet, expect trolling responses.  At least he pointed you to the answer...

WP, can you please add nicehash as a multipool, so if the profitability for mining in nicehash is higher then you automatically choose that to mine?
That could create some pretty funny snake-eating-own-tail issues, if someone was renting hash on NH to mine on WP. I don't think it makes sense for a multi-pool with WP to try to lease hash like that.

@Searing: From my experience with Amex, if you actually keep pushing, they might just end up eating the cost.  The one (maybe the only) great thing about American Express, is they will really go the extra mile for their clients.

Is there a reason you aren't taking this to court?



The posts of the alpha forum today have been priceless.  The shill accounts are becoming so impressively blatant....

The few real customer accounts left must belong to completely gullible idiots that actually believe the community is responsible for Alpha-T not providing updates...

You've heard of credit card fraud before... right?

There are ways to prevent this, as has been already mentioned above, verification is the key.
You've got to be kidding me.  Bring your 3-tier verification processes.  You're still going to get defrauded if you allow crypto purchases with credit cards - period.  If you don't understand this, then you're just being ignorant.

But please, prove me wrong... (hint: you can't, I'm just going to enjoy watching you fail if you try)

well im not here to teach you about creditcard merchant and banking technologies so if that is your view then what can i say but, you are welcome to your opinion. keep saying it's impossible, you'll believe it eventually. experienced point of sale and financial sector worker here who's worked in rooms with millions of dollars sitting next to me in cash.. but hey what do i know. if you try any creditcard fraud though via my implementation, you'll find cops at your door no matter what country u live in.

vericoin may have chosen to use a 3rd party. but doesnt that mean "not impossible"?

anyway it's past my bedtime/movietime so im off for now.
It's not just an opinion... nor does having sat next to piles of cash indicate you know anything about credit card fraud prevention.

How about this: if you're so sure nobody can defraud your credit card processing implementation, please put your money where your mouth is, and offer a public challenge to proving you wrong.

The fact your say, "you'll find cops at your door" clearly indicates that you have no clue about anonymity on the internet.  How exactly are you going to find the person that defrauded you to buy a digital product that was never shipped?  And even if you are talking about a merchant that physically ships products, it's going to be a drop address, and the recipient will be long gone by the time you get the credit card charge back...

So... Prove it or shut the fuck up - and I'll happily disprove anything you try to prove about your recent comments. So, I would suggest you go with the "shut the fuck up" option, and stop talking about what you don't know.  You show me somewhere that you can purchase crypto currencies with credit cards, and I'll show you somewhere that is (or will be) actively being defrauded.



And BTW, working with large sums of cash that isn't yours is easy - most people learn quickly not to associate that cash with spendable money, and instead view it as a sort of monopoly money - it can be counted, but has no real world value to you.

*sigh* this is a dead horse that will never stop getting beaten the "proper fiat/wallet purchase implementation" that you speak of is, at this moment, IMPOSSIBLE to achieve since it requires SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND AMERICAN DOLLARS to get LICENSED by FINCen to enable this. SOOOO either drop it or cough up the couple hundred thousand dollars needed to achieve this....


i dont know about that exactly. there may be other ways. as someone who has worked in the Point of Sale industry for years it's not impossible to get coding done that implements credit/debitcard to a cryptocurrency. i actually know devs who are capable of making this happen with full integration for barcode systems at checkout counters etc. since cryptocurrencies are considered a commodity it's much like buying a carton of milk in this regard using magnetic stripe readers etc that integrate with the banking system. itll just take a significant amount of preplanning.. but to state its impossible shows a lack of knowledge in this arena. just saying.
If you implement credit to crypto, you're going to get defrauded left, right, and center...  I think you're sorely missing something here if you honestly think you could pull that off and not lose all of your money.
Why exactly would that be?
Uh, what part he's missing, I couldn't tell you. But, performing an irreversible transaction (e.g. sending crypto) on the basis of payment via a reversible medium (e.g. credit card) is about as dumb as it gets in taking payments?

Although... maybe VRC devs will just offer rollbacks of the blockchain to reverse fraudulent VRC purchases with credit cards.  hahaha... ya.... *sigh*

look like they have their own agenda Wink

No, really?  What you think they don't like DRK's ability to lead and innovate?

I wonder what it could be  Wink
indeed..both of it ...

I've been watching a few recorded hangout sessions with crypto industry leaders and it's fairly common knowledge that most anon coins copied DRK and were described as "lemmings"...

That brought a smile to my face...
Just like it's common knowledge that DRK copied from Bitcoin and Litecoin developments?  I fail to see how this is relevant in any way.
