Miners, this is just a community reminder to not use the same user/password/pin combination on all your mining pools!

For example: http://kitexplorer.tk/address/KLba5xXAcgq3zwMC6zaKykZK1Ko47fW7ep

This person has managed to use the most classic method of hacking miner accounts, using the same username/password/pin combination from another pool to infiltrate accounts on a different pool. I have spent the last hour of my life, trying to explain to a miner who accused me of stealing their coins. As a result, I learned the destination wallet address, where the miner stole coins to. This wallet address has stolen many coins, but it is NOT MY FUCKING responsibility to baby sit miners on the pool.

If anyone manages to identify the owner of MEOW wallet KLba5xXAcgq3zwMC6zaKykZK1Ko47fW7ep that would be great, and good luck crucifying them.

If anyone has suggestions I am all ears, as a pool operator I don't like hearing about miners losing coins to theft. This is clearly the biggest drawback when running open source pool software, where someone could create an account 'honey pot' and use it to farm pool access on other pools. But, last I checked, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, when all a miner needs to do is keep unique account information across pools.

This is why you set auto pay out, and why you also double check your addies every time you start mining at a pool.

Free SIGNs giving everyday. Be part, do not miss!.
