TripleMining is a scam, and is flooding the forum with referral links

[EskimoBob]

DiabloD3, shit storm starter, can you please give us your ultimate insight (or 20/20 hindsight)
Rest of you (especially all the mini-pool "owners"), just shut the fuck up and wait for the ultimate truth from The DiabloD3.
DiabloD3, explain yourself or fuck off for good and give this honorable job to someone else, who will not act like 13 years old pimple faced fuck up.

Mirror lately?

So tired of all these spammers, "look I just found a new pool, click here", which is exactly what the pool owner wants, free spam. The more you spam, the more you make, and why would you be a dummy and click there, when you can go start your own team and try to find more people to spam to click here and pay you! I've already blocked a dozen of their banners, now I'm about ready to do some throat punching.

The only people saying anything positive about this pool are ones that have referral links in their signature and reply to each others threads.

Launch Special: From June 29th until July 8th we will distribute 0,5 BTC through our Jackpot every day, irrespective of blocks found.

then why giving BTC away if they dont get new ones?

Starting with not much Money is not good if you cant pay your Miners...

It's like a subsidy (paying miners to do something that would otherwise be unprofitable): They're giving incentive for miners to join until they get enough miners to start discovering blocks. Once they get past that point they can stop offering the extra incentive and hopefully the idea of the pool itself will be enough to get people to join.

Stats where down for an hour.. Everything is resolved now..

[Jack of Diamonds]

What's to say TM didn't get multiple blocks in 6 days & just pick a random recent block from Blockexplorer as the 'solved' one to keep people mining?

It displayed '0 total shares' right after the block was "found" after 140 or so hours.

You guys must have nerves of steel or low enough hash rates to not really care about it, but I can't mine with that possibility existing 24/7. I wont lose sleep over something like that.

Already been scammed this way in 2 pools that ran away with blocks in March-April. Wont fall victim again.

(p.s. I know what variance is and the fact that even 0.001% percentile unlucky rounds can & do happen, though very seldom)

The downtime happened at around 5AM on a sunday our time, everyone was sleeping and there was not yet a monitorring system for the stats server.

The exact error was that the java ran out of memory after the block fell since it had to go over allmost 6 million rows to calculate the payout:

We now added 'sms alerting' to prevent this from ever happening again ..

One last post to hopefully clear us from 'hiding blocks':

[MrSam]

Just a humble observation.

The email I had registered with Slush gets 0 emails from any other person/entity because I had not used it anywhere else; Especially at TrippleMining.

Now, ever since the last ddos attack and pilfering of emails from Slush (not to mention gox); I've been getting emails from tripple nipple.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

DKN

I dont understand your comment ? Are you getting mails from triplemining ? Or are you getting mails on an adress you used at triplemining ?

Tripplemining is spamming him with an email adress stolen from slush.  Pretty low.

[grue]

any proof that the email was actually sent by triple mining? emails are pretty easy to spoof.

also, i like how DiabloD3 is randomly killing pools by posting libel about them.

[MrSam]

Could one of you actually show me a mail that would be send from us?

It would be pretty easy to validate, since everything we do is in belgium.. Is it a link to www.triplemining or some guys refferral ?

I know that you guys want to stop about this, but if it's true that someone is using a hacked db to spam for triplemining i want to know who it is so i can act.


Find the refcode and you find the spammer.... The first one that can give me his name will recieve the balance on this spammers account

[PandaMiner]

MrSam, I think you should give the balance to the victim, DKN, who let you know this was happening. (that is, of course, once you know who it is)

[Auspician]

I'm sure he will of DKN can actually provide the spam e-mail which will include the spammers ID.  Of course, if DKN is just blowing smoke and making shit up, he won't be able to provide it.

The amount of unsubstantiated, unbacked accusations regarding this pool are ridiculous.

[MrSam]

I still haven't seen any evidence of this triplemining spam mail ... 

[Dargo]

I'm also tired of the somewhat spammy nature of all the TripleMining adverts on this board. But I haven't seen any evidence that the pool itself is a scam. The mini-pool system and jackpots are clearly just a marketing technique designed to grow the pool. The only "scam" I forsee is that these benefits might come to an end (at least for new members) once the pool gets sufficiently large. But if that is a scam, then mining is a scam, since it has always favored early adopters. BTW, I haven't joined TripleMining and have no interest in doing so, so I'm not defending the pool out of self-interest. If I am missing something, it would be nice if someone could clearly explain what the scam is.

Go read what a pyramid scheme is, this pool is a version of one.
