Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me with this.  I've been using Multibit Classic for a long time.  A few days ago I had a transaction not go through because it was seen by only 1 peer.  

So I reset the blockchain.  But it hasn't worked and it hasn't recovered any transactions, and it says it's synchronized.  But only one transaction from yesterday shows up and most of my balance isn't there.


So I'm wondering if that's normal and I just have to wait however long it takes the client to do the whole blockchain, or if there's another client that can import Multibit wallets.

The plain and simple fact of the matter is that there's no reason to lock accounts like that.  Nobody buys shares in mining contracts and then logs in every day to see how much they made.  All I did was buy a few shares of those mining contracts, and then left them to earn.  And now what they earned is irrelevant because the site makes excuses to do that.

I guarantee you that after it's locked for awhile, they keep the coins on it.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.  I have a cryptsy account, and didn't log in for a few months.  So they locked it, and now I have to exchange emails with admins to try unlocking the account.

I don't quite grasp why they would lock accounts except as a means of ripping off their customers, like that other exchange that ripped people off when they decided to stop carrying a coin and then didn't give anyone time to withdraw them.  And even if you did withdraw them in time, they never showed up.

I can't help but assume it's a scam.  Thankfully I've never put any significant amount on the site.

Suppose I'd bought 1 BTC worth of their mining contracts.  Then I decided to let those shares of the mining contracts earn for a few months.  Then when a few months goes by, I try to log into the site to find out they've locked my account because I didn't log in for a few months.

And even better, for some reason you can't provide your security answers on the website, you actually have to manually communicate with admins by email taking 24 hours or more for them to ask you one security question. 

So if you don't remember your answers to your security questions the first time that admin asks you, you're screwed because you don't get a second chance at remembering your security answer.

Anyone else feel like cryptsy scammed them in some way?

I seem to remember requesting a withdrawal of some coins I had that they delisted when they had a page for it.  I never got them.  When I did send in a support ticket all I got was an email saying they no longer do that and telling me that they announce it on their Twitter account 7 days before.

I can't see myself ever depositing anything on this site again.  The idea of me having to log in every day, or constantly check their Twitter to know whether or not I'll lose my coins is so ridiculous.  

I think I should be able to deposit something, put in a standing order to buy or sell at a price I like, and not have to worry about my deposit disappearing because I don't monitor their Twitter account.

This exchange is just crap.    Super crap.

It's insulting that they actually think the community won't see the scam here.  Sure the coin's not trading well and there's not much interest so it has no significant value, for the time being at least.  But they still have massive balances of the coins they delisted they can sell themselves on other exchanges, profiting from ripping off their customers.  

I can't tell if I'm more offended by their scheme, or by their aloof attitude towards my requests.

Why carry a coin at all if you're going to delist it two weeks later?  Why not carry a coin with some commitment to carrying the coin?

Seven days is ridiculous, and obviously just a way for the people who own and run C-cex to scam.  I find it rather hard to believe that any website could incur significant costs in allowing their users the option for withdrawals, regardless of whether or not the coin is trading.

Why even have a time limit to withdraw coins in the first place?  The person using c-cex pays the transaction fees, and a coin that isn't trading probably isn't eating up their server's capacity.

Scam.  Scam.  Scam.  

I'm sure the owners and operators just want to keep massive volumes of coins without any regard or respect for their customers/users.  

Won't be depositing anything on C-Cex ever again.  

Aside from everything else, this fucking ridiculous policy of theirs creates a scenario where if I even take as much as a one week break from trading, I could lose everything I deposit on the site. 

I should hope that once all of their users figure that out, that this awful, awful exchange disappears like the balances of their customers/users deposits.

Can you throw out a ballpark figure on what that would cost?  Not asking for a full consultation, just wondering what kind of price range that work would cost.

With or without reducing the number of coins I'm sure it can rise in value.

Thought OP was going to moderate this thread?

I'm liking these little things but I keep getting problems with it.  I start it up and it runs fine for a few minutes at almost 70k, then after a mere five to ten minutes I get this:

DM0: Comms error
Failed to open dualminer pn //./com158

DM0: comms error
DM 0 failure, disabling!
Thread 0 being disabled

Then it stops accepting and my hashrate drops to half, then to half of a half, then to half of that half, and so on.

Saw this mentioned earlier in the thread but didn't catch the answer.

Anyone know if I just need a hub for them to work best, or is this a diver issue?

Have to disagree with you big time on that one.  I've got 191  wallets installed on my computer, Arkenstone is one of only 3 I've had virus warnings for.  There's no reason for a false positive.  I'm not a super expert or anything like that, but I can't think of why a cryptocoin would set off a virus flag unless it's infected. 

I posted screenshots.  'Nuff said.

And out of 191 wallets for different coins I've got installed, they're the only three I got a virus warning from.  I don't care what's in the source files, I care what's in the files someone posts for me to download to use their coin.

Yes.  I downloaded all three of them from the links they posted in their announcement threads.

Thought there should be a dedicated thread for this in case there isn't.  So far I've found three altcoins infected with viruses.  Please add to the thread so that members of the community don't end up losing our wallets or suffering damages to our computers.


1) University Coin

I ran it without a conf and never got a virus warning, once I ran it with the conf file I got a virus warning.

2) Arkenstone

I get a virus warning about the "arkenstoned.exe" file.  Wallet seems to run fine without the infected file, but I don't think I'll be mining or collecting these either.

3) Bones Coin

Ran it before today and never got a virus warning.  For some reason today I got the warning.



http://www.im-infected.com/virus/win32evo-gen-susp.html

I got a virus warning from the bonesqt.exe file.

I've run the wallet before and never got a virus warning until today.

Looks like another evo-gen that opens a backdoor to allow remote access.

http://www.im-infected.com/virus/win32evo-gen-susp.html

I get the same thing too.  Avast says it's infected with Win32:Malware-gen.  It just deletes the infected "arkenstoned.exe" file, and the wallet seems to run fine without it.

Anyone have any suggestions as to whether or not it's worthwhile to mine a coin who's developers added a virus into the package?  I know just like University Coin this is one I won't touch.

Has anyone else gotten a virus alert about the UniversityCoin-qt.exe file?

Avast tells me it's infected with the Win32:Evo-gen virus.  

http://www.im-infected.com/virus/win32evo-gen-susp.html

I downloaded the zip file from this thread, and from their webpage, both are infected.  When I ran the program without the conf file, no virus warning came up.  Once I used the conf file, Avast identifies it as infected.  

This is something to be worried about.  That virus opens backdoors for remote access.  Glad I always disable remote access and the services it depends upon.

Okay.  Will do.  Thanks.

But I don't think it's that though.  The hashrate seems to have decreased across all of the VPS I have running, even though they're not all the same service provider. 

Do you mean the hosting providers?  If mining is against their TOS I'm pretty sure they just cut you off.  Can't imagine them doing something to limit the processing capabilities of the VPS' because it would negate the point of offering free trials if they did that.

Hey all.  I'm newbing it up still, and practicing with free trial VPS before I invest money into a mining rig.  The problem I keep having, is a declining hashrate. 

Some of the VPS I set up were clocking 5k and more the first time I connected them.  I had to close the session to restart my computer, and when I reconnected my hashrate fell in half.  Then the next time I had to close the session and start again, it feel even more.  Now my best performing VPS that was at 5k+ is now averaging around 0.56k.  This has happened with all of the 14 VPS' I have running right now.
 
Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it? 

Appreciate any help!
