You are not posting in the good section of the forum. And the article's link you provided is not working from my side. I think the section "off-topic" would be more appropriated.

Otherwise, to reply to your topic, I have lived in several countries in Europe, and of course the European Union.

Over the years, I have seen many appeals like these, and none of them were ever really implemented. They have always remained without effective action, nothing to follow up.

I imagine that this time it will be the same thing again. Unfortunately.

Bon du coup une demande de changement de pseudo a été envoyée à theymos !

Peut être que d'ici quelques années il se motivera à la lire et à le faire ! 

Tant qu'il ne me demande pas 50 BTC, ça me va..

I don't know if you can see my message, as I have an "error loading history" since this morning, I done many restarts of Utopia and clicked on "retry" many times but still same error. I don't know why, other chats are working well from my side

I am not sure that I totally understood your issue to be honest, I mean in which step the problem appeared.

But, in case it could be useful for you, I want to mention that I needed to use the following commands to make it work on my Pi 0w :


Without the -fcommon option, I never managed to make it work properly. Hope it will help.

Pretty easy.

People send the same share of BTC to Willi. With these deposits, he is renting hashpower (in general 20 ph/s) and send the hashrate to ck solo pool.

If you aren't lucky, you lose your share and that's all, If you are lucky, the block reward (+ fees which are pretty interesting actually!) is shared between all participants.

I want to mention that Willi is a reputable, active and honest member of this forum. He always paid everyone, even with a block of +300k usd. We found a block at Blockparty #30 and he sent the reward to each of us. He even kept aside one share of the reward and waited more than 2 months (if I am not wrong about the delay) the confirmation of an absent member, to be sure to pay him to a valid and updated BTC address.

Some other member are proposing the same idea but with smaller amounts (I mean smaller deposits needed to participate), but have no background about paying the members in case they hit a block. I personnaly chose to trust them and participated to some runs, but it is at your own risk.

This may sound silly, but wouldn't it be easier to make updates in the first post of the topic?

Generally everyone expects to see all the necessary informations about the said campaign (at least for those users who care to read it lol). If the campaign managers have something to tell us which is important to know about the campaign, in my opinion, it should just be noted or edited in the first post of the topic.

You could always use the --suggest-diff option, but only if you use cgminer software. (minimum 1)

It is strange to not have at least 1 valid share over 10k with a S9 in 24 hours to be honest.

Are you sure of the BTC address you used for mining ? Are you sure too of the pool url you used ?
Are you renting with MRR or NH ?

Yes, you have said it all, I fully share this point of view.

Moreover, one might ask what the real added value of animated signatures would be? I'm not sure if it's necessary to overload the forum pages with useless info/designs, as the hero/legendary distinction is already made through the forum users's profiles and is clearly visible in every message posted.

You are right, storing your seed phrase via a cloud is one of the worst solutions imaginable.

But as long as it is not mandatory to use this option, is it really a problem?
Trezor and Ledger offer the same type of service, I'm not supporting it, but as long as the user has the choice to use the service or not, I don't see a problem.

Bettercallraul.it is now totally offline, we can't see the "has been seized" page anymore..

If we needed confirmation that this was a scam, I think we now fully have it

Yeah I just went to see this and indeed, it smells strongly of scam... It's a safe bet that we'll never get a feedback from this team unfortunately! 

Indeed it would be interesting to have some BTC addresses linked to their service to try to see if a big deposit was made (as KingsDen assumed for example tens of BTC or even less) to "motivate" this potential exit scam

It's a pity that it ends like this, it was a nice service, very privacy-focused..
Actions like this damage the whole sector and ruin the confidence of many users. Like you guys, I find it strange not to operate in the normal way and make money like this, I can't understand what they could have gained from it (in case of a big deposit wasn't made).

I don't know if anyone has any feedback on the last transactions made before the site was closed, were they assumed and honest?

Yes I went to their site to see the content of the screenshot shared by myself, and I find that it doesn't look official, it looks fake.

What do you think about it? Do we know if it's a rug pull / scam or if they've really been caught?

I can't really tell why but the "has been seized" page looks totally fake to me, maybe because of the logos on the top right and left, anyway, I have a bad feeling about this one...

Pour hyperdonkey il n'y a pas de logiciel à installer. Ça s'utilise comme n'importe quelle pool, tu rentres l'url et le nom du worker dans tes paramètres via l'interface de ton L7.

L'url c'est (je t'ai mis le serveur européen, si t'es aux USA le ping time risque d'être moyen) : stratum+tcp://p2pool.hyperdonkey.com:9327
Pour le nom du worker (n'oublie pas le ''.'' entre les 2 adresses) : [ton_adresse_LTC].[ton_adresse_DOGE]
Le mot de passe :  X

Après une demie heure - une heure de mining actif, tu peux suivre tes stats ici : https://p2pool.hyperdonkey.com/static/p2pool.html#europe
Tu rentres ton adresse LTC et Doge, ils t'afficheront le hash de tes deux adresses qui te permettra de suivre les stats. L'affichage est stats en temps réel est pas le plus fiable du monde, si tu veux être certain des chiffres mieux vaut suivre via ton interface Bitmain depuis l'IP de ton L7. Donc pas de panique si jamais tu vois des stats basses les premiers jours sur le site, tu seras quand même payé de manière réglo, ce qui compte c'est ton nombre de shares submitted.

Dernier détail, tu seras payé à chaque block de LTC ou DOGE trouvé par la pool, ou à chaque merged block, donc pense à consolider tes payouts de temps en temps. Beaucoup de wallets ont du mal à se synchroniser lorsque tu reçois beaucoup de petits montants entrants. De temps en temps, envoie toi à toi même le total des wallets sur une adresse fraiche, si tu accumules pendant des mois les payouts de mining sans consolider, ça risque d'être chiant de sortir les fonds du wallet. (c'est valable pour n'importe quelle pool ou même avec BTC)

Every person and every Bitcoin user has their own preferences and habits.

Many mixer sites are honest, and many people use such services without ever being scammed.

You could ask the same question with any P2P service for example, it makes no sense. A lot of it is based on trust, reputation, and the longevity of some websites speaks for themselves. Of course, there is always a risk of exit scam, but each user manages his own personal risk policy

I love to read these old historical topics, the ones that remain and see how lightly OP wrote:



Haha for sure Laszlo can say he paid for a pizza with btc, and pretty sure he won't forget it 

Happy Pizza Day my dear Bitcoiners friends 

Haha ça dépend du point de vue 
Je trouve ça vraiment apaisant le hurlement d'un Antminer ! 


Ouais le coût ça serait super intéressant mais incalculable. On ne pourra jamais détailler le coût payé par chaque worker d'une pool, c'est impossible.
Tu peux faire des estimations en calculant ; tu prends le prix d'un BTC, la difficulté, et tu peux à partir de ça savoir à quel prix tu es rentable (plus ou moins). Actuellement ça doit être autour de 0.045 usd par kw/h, mais ça dépend aussi de quel matériel est utilisé. De plus, la plupart des mineurs n'arrêteront pas de miner, même à perte, car souvent les contrats font que tu perds (beaucoup) plus d'argent en ne consommant pas ton volume de kw/h escompté qu'en minant à perte.

Le rapport pool / solo blocks n'est pas à l'avantage du solo mining haha, mais j'insiste par contre que s'intéresser à la répartition du hashrate entre les différentes pools est 1000 fois plus intéressant et en dit beaucoup plus sur la santé (centralisation ou non, pays qui "dictent" comment vont se passer les prochaines semaines/mois etc...etc..) que le hashrate global.

Par rapport à la proportion solo/pool blocks, pour être totalement honnête, c'est aussi difficile à dire avec précision :



Sur les 3 derniers jours, ni kano, solo.ckpool, ViaBTC, miningDutch ou solomining.io n'a eu de block solo. Par contre on a quand même 4.22% de blocks de source "inconnue", soit environ 18 blocks, pour lesquels on ne pourra jamais savoir qui les a miné (des fois quelques indices mais bof)

What you mean exactly ?

Issue is solved, Sinbad.io is working fine, I have no particular problem and since the incident was resolved, the site is stable from my side.

I really appreciate the fact that you recommend some really good place to exchange FIAT for BTC. Peachbitcoin is a great service and I like the fact that you recommend a non-KYC service. (May I suggest that you also add the link to kycnot.me ? The more we spread the good addresses, the more they will be used!)

Otherwise, I would like to highlight that your site is clear, responsive and I personally found it very pleasant to browse.
I hope you will soon be able to integrate direct payments in BTC without contact by email, even if it is concretely the same result, it will be potentially easier for the laziest users 


I wish you success and a good continuation 

Yeah you could use a S15 on low power mode,

Or a S19 with only 1 hashboard connected and running. You could buy a broken S19 online, you will find a lot of them available, they are not expensive. The last time I gave this suggestion on the forum, mikeywith rightly pointed out that you should be careful about noise, and ideally have the other dead (or not connected) hasboards in the ASIC to reduce noise.

A L3++ will give you a great ratio kw/h / hashrate, they are not too noisy, and even if it is a Scrypt ASIC, you could always swap the LTC/Doge to BTC (or directly mine with Nicehash to be paid in BTC)

This is the kind of post you should be writing and spreading everywhere other than this forum in my opinion; we are (I mean, on this exact forum) already absolutely convinced that Bitcoin is not a scam and many of us already have our own strategies in place, whether it be through spot buying, DCA, mining etc..

Let's also not forget that a small part of the community doesn't care about the BTC/FIAT value, and will simply tell you 1 BTC = 1 BTC, no matter when or no matter how the market is doing.


No "price dilemma" when you are DCAing
