PB Mining -- 5 year mining contracts!

[SlientBit]

It was just 6 hours ago, so I'm waiting on the 12 mark, but does it have to take that long?

And yes, it has to take that long.  This is to ensure our staff gets proper rest.    We don't do automated order processing yet because we put security first.  Anything that could be tampered with by an external force has to be done manually so that we have an oversight of every single order that gets placed.  If you want fast and efficient automation go check out Mt. Gox.    

No problem, I can relate to that! It's a win,win - happy staff and happy costumers
I'm just fine, now that my 3 GH/s are humming away
And I just submitted my application on the 20 GH/s contest too

Just what is the best way to know when you have more hash power available?
I'll be putting all my BTC on this, it would be nice to know when orders are back up again, as soon as they are
Is it enough to watch this thread?

Thanks!

[PBmining]

Registration and Orders should be back up tomorrow.  I'll keep everyone updated in this thread.

[jamieb81]

they will certainly announce when they are up again, the same way as they said they will closing for a few

Short question because it is not very clear to me :

I am using Bitcoin-QT 0.8.6beta Wallet.

I make backups of my wallet.dat from time to time and encrypt with 7-Zip.

Do i need the private (secret) key also to restore my wallet just in case?

FUKKING HELL YES!! YOU NEED YOUR KEY!!!

That is indeed little bit tricky, to find out my private (Secret) key i had to go QT Console and:

type: walletpassphrase "your walletpassphrase here" 600
type: dumpprivkey [your public key here]
this will return the private key, you can copy it now; ensure you clear your clipboard/history afterwards
type: walletlock


Thanks for answer, and i "play" around with wallets to learn import public keys, restore backup  and get more comfortable with that console.

I really wonder how many people lost their wallets because they did no proper backup etc.

Sorry for offtopic but maybe that saved me some money

Actually, i dont think much of anything is considered off topic here- this is where pbminers congregate and exchange views/data/whatever..
earlier i was keeping btc in mt gox exchange because i couldnt figure out the backup process for bitcoin qt/d..
fortunately i got out of there when they started acting staangely..
 
thanx for the instrux for qt/d console it will be handy to know.

Is there something wrong with the site? Why would I be getting this message?

This is probably not the site you are looking for!

You attempted to reach pbmining.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as ssl6574.cloudflare.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of pbmining.com.

You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.

Proceed anyway  Back to safety

 Help me understand

Save to click " Proceed anyway" ?

We are in the process of switching to the new site.  This is all normal and expect a lot of funny things tonight while we mitigate.  This is why we closed the order/registration page.

O.k. so should we try to log in later? or should we check back here when it is ok to log in?

Thank you!

[PBmining]

I will announce it when we are up and running.  This is normal

EDIT: Nevermind....

[5ick3uffalo]

so the web address is redirecting to an ip address and chrome isnt too happy about that.

All is OK I hope???

All is Ok. They migrate to a new website (with https) that`s why the warning pops up i think.

LOL!

Between the time I opened this thread and got around to posting my message 6-8 replies posted explaining what was going on! DOH!

I do feel better knowing that they were not hacked though.

Hi there!
I see that new interface has possibility to change wallet. I think that's not so good idea even yourself said (when someone register it was warning on first place) before that changing of btc address impossible. Also e-mail right now is visible( before was hidden).
I think will be better to disable such feature or perform things manually via PM request with signed message from old wallet or whatever. A lot of windoze computers with zero security isn't? But that's only my visibility so sorry if I'm wrong.

Hey folks what do you thinking about that?

Regards.

[PBmining]

If you have control over your private key then nobody else can sign the message needed to change the address.  This is very secure, unless someone knows your private key (in which case they can go straight for your wallet anyway).

I know the site is undergoing maintenance right now but I'm a little paranoid. Is http://69.28.224.211/ the correct IP? Ok to login?

This is completely normal.  It is not maintenance either -- we are switching to the server that is running the new site.  We are working hard right now to bring it up.  Your bitcoins are still coming in, in fact even more accurately than before.

I actually find it good, and I just send them an email to make the change.

why? I did not make a new tab in my wallet so I cannot keep track of my incomes from PB mining.

now I made a new one and can better track my income

10q, just wanted to confirm the IP. First add on google for "blockchain" last night led to http://204.144.184.7/~lupin/blockchain.info/ so can't be too careful.
