We can both agree that the likelihood of him having 25000 willing computers install this application is little to absolutely fuckall so that equates to same thing as a botnet having unwilling/unknowing users.

What?
You really have no clue...
I'm not saying his 25k computers aren't a botnet, but I know guys who have toolbars installed in a quarter million computers, so, 25k isn't that much and very possible. I have almost 11k toolbar installs steady for the last 2 years myself, and I didn't even pushed them to users that much. And they are installed willingly, agreeing with a TOS and Privacy Policy, etc.

Drunk? Let me be clearer, there is absolutely no chance he has a TOS in place that was read by 25k users stating he will use their cpu/gpu power to mine bitcoins, why do you make this so fucking difficult even when I agree with you on most of it.

Does it not set off redflags that he supposedly got 25k miners for him but have no clue what a botnet is even though he registered April 2011, what exactly do you argue over ?

I guess its just not possible to agree or disagree with you, bah.

Well, I agree that people don't read ToS's. After all, even you, when was it the last time you read a website ToS or a software license when installing something?
Hell, even I am guilty of just clicking the checkbox saying I read the ToS or clicking the "I agree" button lol
Now imagine the persons who install toolbars... 80% of them don't even know how the toolbar got in their browser in the first place lol
Oh, if I had 1 BTC for each time I was told by some windows user that it wasn't them who installed those 20 toolbars in their Internet Explorer...

I've been getting public work for the past 12 hours or so. However, only about 1/5 of my shares are actually going towards public work; the majority are directed to my private pool. This is a recent change in behavior for gpumax; since inception my observation has been that public work has been either 'all' or 'nothing'. This no longer seems to be the case.

I am wondering if this is gpumax's way of limiting bandwidth to a given pool when public work is being serviced; it makes sense, but I can't say I've ever seen this happen before about a week ago.

GPUMAX has done this in the past where they use some but not all of the hashing power available in the account.

I too am seeing this behavior now.

So why are some users not able to connect their workers?

If you are running miners from multiple IPs, you will now be banned from GPUMAX. Please see the quote below.

Attention GPUMAX Users

Over the past month we've been dealing with massive load changes due to users allowing others to mine on their accounts. This is not only unfair for those sitting on the waitlist but also makes it very hard for us to control the growth during the beta.  While our ultimate goal is to allow anyone to use our service, we just don't have the time to deal with uncontrollable growth and develop the platform at the same time.

Effective tomorrow (Friday 06/29/2012 12:00am CST), accounts with the following activity will be suspended.

• Any account with miners connected on 2 or more IP addresses from different subnets.

No other limitations will be made at this time. If we continue to see issues, additional actions will be taken.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I know that, but it has nothing to do with me. My house has been using the same static IP since I started here. Also my account works, just my miners don't connect.. I've been having this issue for several days.
cuz08@netscape.net ip is: 5.139.166.210

Same here.  All my miners run from the same IP address that Verizon gives me. None of my miners will connect to GPUMAX.  Most of the time I can't even login to my account, like right now.  Yet sometimes I can login but the miners still won't connect.  My troubles started before pirate@40 announced his new restrictions.

Exactly, also the day before my miners stopped connecting I noticed 2 or 3 of my rigs were always disconnected from gpumax. I had no luck reconnecting them, which was really strange because they are all on the same router. There may be some other issue going on here, hopefully pirate will explain soon.

you know, if someone really wanted to have multiple machines, they could simply make their machines connect to gpumax via a single VPN. just sayin.

That isn't so much the problem as pass-throughs.  Someone selling a passthough is much less likley to allow someone on their vpn
