GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace

[Shadow383]

It's mere speculation, by my guess is it's easily over a thousand dollars. .

Probably closer to a thousand bitcoins.  Some users have 10+ bitcoins or more tied up in the last couple days.  And Im sure there are easily hundreds of users now...

I have over 40 tied up.  This was Pirates last "Fuck you" the to community.

The timing of suddenly inviting everyone and anyone after months of no movement at all was simply too convenient.....right when BTCST went tits up. 

Yeah, I was one of those invited.  And lucky for me there was no documentation on how to get setup on GPUMAX, which then required me to read up on it.  Which lead to me getting very suspicious about the whole situation.

I feel lucky in that I only used it for about three days, then stopped early enough that I got the last of what I was owed from GPUMAX in the last payment wave that was sent out.

But I know not everyone was that lucky...

If that's the case, it seems odd to still have the service online and relaying private work. I've been keeping an eye on my private pools, and 100% of my work seems to be getting there...

zero payment still.. I'm in an ever increasing group of people who have pulled their hashing power back out.

Atm Im amazed why anyone would leave even a single gpu-core on gpumax. Seriously guys ?

OTOH, if that was the plan, why didnt they run public work 24/7? Ive only seen short bursts of public work since the last payment.

Dont get me wrong, Ive just pointed my miners away from gpumax as well, but  I would *guess* there is a disagreement between zux0r and pirate? Anyone hear of zux0r lately? Id like to give him the benefit of the doubt, he certainly worked hard enough on gpumax.

why would a person pay gpumax for shares when pirate is involved with it?

zux0r is smart to fade away from this debacle. why would he want to be responsible for this
debt? pirate stated gpumax wallet is HIS wallet.

The idea isn't that someone would pay GPUmax for shares, it's that Pirate would set GPUmax to run public shares pointed to his bitcoind. 100% work and 200%PPS rate, and you could be clearing a few extra thousand clean newly minted coins before everyone starts calling foul about not being payed.

People here would have caught on to that very quickly and pirate would have been known
to be a scammer that much quicker. He was buying time. To do what you suggest would have
been a red flag based on user's past experience of knowing public work was not constant lately.

Assuming every user of GPUmax reads the forums often. People are still giving him work even though he's defaulted on BTCST and hasn't payed GPUmax in 4 days. Greed is a powerful motivator, I wouldn't be surprised to see people point all their hashing power there even knowing BTCST went tits up and that 100% work is abnormal.

well give one of the admin's time. i am sure they will grant this wish of scamming users even more.

the problem is the debt already owed and the money is gone.
in order for zux0r to take over the existing site, as is, he would have to lock out pirate and
payout.. oh what? 1000 btc. 10K USD dollars. Just a guess to make people whole so they
would come back.

otherwise.. might as well just start over if he was the coder. he could recreate it pretty quickly
under a new name.

I wouldn't worry too much. gpumax.com registration expires on September 15, 2012.

Should we be taking bets that the SCAM is right on track ?

Its easy enough to change wallet addresses. Its entirely plausible zux0r knows nothing about BCST and has done nothing other than work his ass off trying to make gpumax work. If thats the case, he better start talking now, but if he does, Id be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, as long as pays out daily.

[slider1978]

Pirate was on IRC just now and has said that payments will be made tomorrow (8/31/12) at noon CST and daily after that.

[P4man]

28th:

Hey guys, payments will go out at midnight for all the purchases run up till today.  We are trying to get all the purchases out of the system that need to be run.  If you have a purchase pending or paused please contact us at support@gpumax.com so we can investigate it or issue a refund.  Thanks.

29th:

Payments will be made today.

30th:

Hey guys, so let me saying something that I can be completely sure about.  Payments for GPUMAX will go out by tomorrow at 12:00pm (that's noon) Central and going forward will be done daily.

Is it just me, or has Pirate's grammar taken a dive?

Don't know about you but he reminds me of one of the forum users, that's a trait of Andrew ''shakaru'' Nollan scammer.

I respectfully disagree with this statement.

[SgtMoth]

Why is it that as soon as there is a delay or some other small issue, the first word someone brings up is 'scam'

maybe you should read my post before you open your mouth.  we were having a race at bitminter on the weekend, i made my order early on, mine didnt go through, others did.  gpumax was not down. fkn troll

LOL,  you made a funny.


with talk like that,  you'll be lucky if gpumax doesn't reply with 'No soup for you'  and send your puny purchase coins back

....i guess i was right, now wasnt I!!!

[Shadow383]

Have we had an announcement that payments will absolutely definitively be going out tomorrow at midnight... or the day after... or the day after that, yet?
