I just had an interesting thought, since pyramining is dependent on new deposits to keep up with rising difficulty, you could go as far as to say that the past scam accusations killed pyramining by discouraging new deposits.

I got his real name by searching andreipup then filtering out the ones that were computer security, networking and telecommunications related. Found this
http://freeworkwebprogrammer.blogspot.ca/2008/10/site-on-sending-of-sms.html

then I cross referenced the name against hacking related sites and found this

People should keep in mind he is a suspect and not proven guilty. He has rights. I'm just putting this out there incase there is another someone out there investigating their own crime.

The attacker hurt the community because I planned on writing many open source applications for virtual trading. I probably still will but It's not as fun when I'm not holding coins

I'm not sure if I even used the same password. I had different levels of passwords. My ripple password was "high trust" meaning I wouldn't have used it an any other sites unless I fully trusted them. I trust btce so it's possible I used the ripple password there in the past but it was changed a few times since. Other accounts at other sites with different passwords have not been withdrawn. And my "low hanging fruit" / honey pot type accounts weren't accessed.

I had strange event happen months back while developing a java application. I think an exploit or payload launched in my debugging environment. I probably still have the stack trace. After reading the stack trace I assumed the exploit had failed. It threw a buffer overflow exception. I assumed this was the debugger stopping the attack by throwing an exception before data could be written. I looked for evidence of intrusion but a buddy of mine who's into that sort of thing said now days you wouldn't find anything suspect. I did find that my init file was modified on a certain day but my package manager log showed no installs or updates for that day. I replaced the hard drive and assume I was infected with a root kit.

Just so you guys know. I run no script. two firewalls. My own custom distro based on arch linux with zenkrnel, I didn't go looking for hackling websites, I accessed the site through a caching proxie with no script installed from a livecd. They compromised computers left and right on btce. I'm a application developer and I went to school for telecommunications technology. Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean that you are immune. And no level of proficiency is enough to guarantee security. This very site was just hacked recently. I expect that the average user here is above average in computer skills yet still we see many people getting hacked constantly.

I'm not accusing antichat.ru users or website owners of anything. Only the one user who asked where to sell his xrp.

If by practicing poor security I deserve to get hacked, then by that same logic the guys who take pictures of themselves stealing peoples money and post it publicly deserve to be the subject of investigation.

I know who's been hacking btce accounts, but I have no proof. My ripples were recently stolen, funds from another ripple address were emptied into the attackers account as well. The other ripple account can be linked to user darkneo. He is probably a victim as well. He has an account here and at btce. So I'm assuming the exploit happened at one of those sites. Btce, hotmail and ripple.com were the only places I used that password. I think someone stole my credentials from BTCE. There were a string of thefts at btce months ago so I left the exchange. The rumors back then was that it was antichat.ru hackers posting malicious links.

After my funds were stolen, I wondered why the attacker didn't bother reading my posts saying that I was about to purchase a large number of xrp. I started to ponder if the attacker might not speak english. keep in mind that btce is based in russia and so is antichat.ru website.

On a hunch. I decided to check the russian part of ripple.com/forum for someone asking to sell xrp. Sure enough. User Andreipup posted in russian that he wanted to sell xrp. He wrote that he had been trying for 3 days. The exact amount of days since the theft. He wrote that getting them was easy but what to do with them? But the address he had posted on his account was empty. He has signed up for no giveaways. How did he get the ripples so easily but he doesn't know what to do with them?

A quick google search of andreipup lead to his account at antichat.ru russian hacking website, where I found threads he participated in relating to ip scanning, trojans, antivirus, credit card theft ect. He even posted in one thread where another user has taken pictures of himself using a bank machine in the middle of the night wearing gloves to mask the fingerprints. idiots lol.

I know it was him but I know there is not much I can do. I figured I should come say this here though. I only lost $3-4 grand. Others have lost tens of thousands from this hacker. I have his real name.  Rustam Avday or Avday Rustam

This is the whole point. The best thing that could happen is so many people invest that the high hashrate starts to complete old accounts which increases average hashpower which completes accounts even faster. and so on in a spiral. Here's one at 99% http://pyramining.com/account/browse?id=afphn3gb

I came accross this thread looking for information.. to perhaps include payward compatability into my ripple client that I am developing. Now, knowing that my actions may serve to make the rich richer (minimum assets to invest), I'll have to think about it and investigate other options. Maybe I'm being harsh. Grumpy mood today lol.

lol no one reads they just post their address that doesn't qualify

Happy Programmers day

Pyramining has used my asic account as referral and deposited 50%. Even though I deposited after the promotional timeframe. He has kept to his word dispite many neigh sayers. Give the man a break, he's running a service. It has it's ups and down. He's done a good job. Not his fault difficulty explodes every few days

Has there been changes to the site? I can't log in to my accounts because the captcha doesn't display. The problem happens with firefox and opera on linux

He's producing his own asics, all new deposits go to asics
New infrastructure:   ~ 2127.66 MH/BTC

I'm a developer. I will help with bugtest/developing if I had some coins as incentive.

85 pages of the same thing being explained over and over again lol

I know you are doing what you can and you run a legitimate service. I'm just saying there is steep competition with all the new asics. I do admit that with the hardware in the queue and new deposits things might turn around. Especially if accounts start getting completed. You said you would be depositing btc into pyraminig as an asic promotion, this could be enough to serious bring down the return time. Pyramining may become very profitable again as accounts get completed and hashing power is redistributed.

Long return time is NOT the fault of pyramining because difficulty keeps skyrocketing.

Nice post. I think the 50 billion is way, way to much. I think opencoin should keep only less than 5%. Or better yet no single entity should own even 1% if the xrp. Only then will a currency be fair.

Rewarded amount:   0.07432509
Sent amount:   0.00000000

when rewarded amount hits 0.1 you will receive a payment


long story short It's taking long because of competition with other asics. Pyramining has asics but also many investors who paid for older hardware that is slowing down over all hash power.

Yes you can invest 0.2, you need a referral link http://www.pyramining.com/referral/p3qzykdth It might take a really long time to get your money back though with rising difficulty. It's a gamble investment, maybe with the new asic hardware and some users reinvesting funds things might turn around

The queue dropped today and so did the completion time. Things might be looking up again.
