Well, yeah - we're down. Not hacked, on complete own purpose.
=======================================================================
This was a test project. We wanted to learn new stuff, get known to new people and just wanted to see where it goes. We have our reason for the shutdown - there is still a life outside of crypto guys!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What did we learn?
* Trust no one ;-)
* MOST mining pool operators are to dump to run a pool. If you want a reliable pool operated by persons who know what they do switch over to yiimp, zpool or unimining. Pickle Rick. All others are crap, indeed most of them were trained by us & redirected all their questions to us!
* If a pool offers much less then 1% fee -> SCAM! Servers cost money. Transactions cost money. Operating costs money. Just calculate if it is better to have a 0.1% lower fee - or a stable pool. If you miss one hour of mining on a pool with 0.1% lower fee you will loose 5% of your income! Only because you cared about 0.1%?!
* Miners are greedy and don't notice if anybody scams them. Proof?
- Some "random" ^_^ pool:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/lux/address.dws?LL6vvQxQSTjp5d1Yf4NT2Lfwf6qyBKngdD.htm - Total received 64619 LUX
- With 1% fee (this pool had lower fee then 1%) this should make around 646 LUX on fees.
- Guess what? ONE(!) of their topia addresses is in this transaction
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/lux/tx.dws?356941.htm - And whoops, this topia address has already received 1030 LUX?
- Of course, they will now argue "it is because we are mining to this address etc...". Just look at the transaction, you notice fairly quick which are mining and which are other transactions. Have fun finding their other cryptopia addresses - there are more.
- Next proof:
https://imagebin.ca/v/3u2xyW4KQpNB - Yep, orange balance goes down without blue balance going up... This miner lost 7 GBX. For sure they will now tell "we have compensated him etc...". Miners, look at your graphs and understand how this stuff works! Don't get scammed by people who don't understand how to run a pool.
Real hugs fly out to the following persons who are _really_ fair-minded:
- Antonio Moratti
- oliveskin
- phm
- tpruvot
- hewwo
- whywefight
- zpool
Wait for it. We will be back.
