A post to see if http://fast-pool.com/ is a scam or not

[sharpneli]

So http://fast-pool.com/ just locked my account and yet accepted my blocks for 6 hours or so. Basically stealing electricity.

If they wouldn't have wanted this to be posted maybe they should've made their support thread accessible without posting to newbie section.

I would google it a little.. I haven't yet, but I haven't heard anything good or bad about it yet though.

[sharpneli]

It would be interesting to know how many posts do I have to post into this area until I can access https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=372997.160

I sincerely hope they are not a scam and it was just a misunderstanding. It just seems rather fishy to first let you run 6 hours of miner while your account is locked and then point you to support forums where you have to post n+1 posts of useless fluff to access the actual thread.

They aren't a scam one of the best DOGE pools and always on top of it

Iv had 5 pools close down on me, never had 1 problem with this one and havent had a problem cashing out


Also, I think after your initial post you will be able to post on other threads.  Not 100% sure though.

Nope.

Ctrl+F5: No effect.

Different browser: No effect

I'll have to try my cellphone but I kinda have the hunch that it's going to be the same: No effect.

I just cannot post to their support thread no matter what I do.

Yeah I know almost certainly they are not a scam or anything. But you must understand that if they make contacting them this difficult is seems really really fishy.

[sharpneli]

No effect.

Does anyone have any idea how much I have to spam the newbie area until I can contact fast-pool.com and get them to release the coins they hold hostage? (Yeah I know, it's almost certainly not intentional. It's just rather stupid that simply because of forum configuration I don't get my last coins out of there and they don't get a 550Kh/s miner to their pool anymore).

I used fast-pool without any complaints for a little over a week, but it got buggy after Doge lit up and more miners joined.  Maybe they have technical issues?

[donneur2lumiere]

Same problem as yours
no link on the site to contact them is very suspicious
 

 At this time Cminer cannot reach their URL no more mining......
If they dont fix the problem in 24h we'll be allowed to says they  are scam

hope...

have you tried receiving receiving payout from them? I can't seem to add my doge address hence I can't request a payout from them. Ive tried complaining this issue in their thread but got no response regarding the issue.

Not a scam. Sometimes under maintenance and stats don't always work but i've gotten paid on every share i've submitted.

As for people getting their account locked... it's most likely because you aren't keeping your pool stats anonymous.
Some 1337h4x0r5 are spotting usernames on stats, even if you are not on top-lists every block you find reveals your username. Then they try to bruteforce those accounts and they get locked because of too many invalid login attempts. PM the admin on pools support thread to unlock your account or to address other issues. Note that if you ask it on public you are most likely inviting 'em h4x0r5 to try out your bitcointalk username too, and if you are using the same alias on server you get locked again.

Did anyone ever get fast-pool to respond? They are also holding my doge hostage

If you are having problem with it, why don't you make a reply in the pool's official thread?

No one will be able to solve your problem, except for the pool owners lol
