that is what a forum is for. static content for all users to digest.
Sorry, but I disagree with both sides : - I don't like digging in the forums, this single thread is already several thousand posts long, where should I look for a given piece of information?
- IRC is for real-time chat and as such is even less adequate for publishing information (the only exception is the channel topic which can be used for low frequency news updates).
If you want to publish information, use a blog or a wiki for two obvious examples. Forums and IRC are for discussions, the second one for real-time ones. If you have an announcement to do, publish it on your blog or wiki, then copy or link it in the forums and give a link to it in IRC.

Even the gpuminus website could work. But eh.. what do you expect from this tainted operation. I am surprised anyone with an ounce of integrity would still be using it. That is just me tho.

Alright, so for those of you who have been using gpumax the past couple of days, have you been getting paid?
I'm ready to start using it again if everyone's getting paid nightly.
I have, but I've had almost no public work, despite my lowest-priced workers being waaaaaaay below the strike price. I wouldn't plan on getting many public shares. No one is going to give Pirate a cent. Take your uninformed FUD out of here. GPUMax hasn't failed to pay anyone for their mining resources, hasn't taken payment for leased shares and not leased them, or done anything else you fucking trolls kept trying to accuse them of doing. You asshats can't even understand the simple fact that GPUMax isn't just pirateat40 Hey, before assuming I'm just here to bash Pirate, think about it like this. Pirate is involved with GPUMAX, people don't trust Pirate, in turn less people will use GPUMAX. That is my theory as to why he is getting few Public shares. Personally, I was using GPUMAX for a while, however, it was refusing shares from time to time and wasn't worth the very few public shares I got. I moved back to abcpool.

If this is a pirate enterprise, how is it still functioning? and why are people still using it? I suppose greed is still stronger than fear!

It is not solely pirate. A gentleman by the handle of Zux0r handles most of the administration, and does a damn good job. As for why we use it? It is an amazing operational tool for managing large farms. I utilize it to monitor and manage my 30+ miners, and it makes the task of re-directing power to different pools a snap. The public work aspect is simply a bonus, and some do not even bother with it. There is a huge difference between lending a guys 100's of thousands of BTC on nothing but a prayer, and utilizing a good service that you can withdraw from instantly if you choose.

I can understand how it may be useful, however, your arguement is that because its run by a known thief and some other guys, the other non thiefs make it ok! Seems a little mad to me. And as for the 'withdraw instantly' thing, I seem to remember Pirate saying something else about his 'investment fund'!

He meant stop using the service once an admin decides to redirect every share possible to his own/other pool before the shutdown.

Anyone else seeing absolutely tiny amounts of public work? I think I've had about 100 public shares in the past 48 hours.

took me about 6 month now ..... i got it today. Im not sure if we should use this ..... since its a prirate ops.....
illl test it a bit, to give it a chance.
Question: isn't gpumax bad for bitcoin; like big pools (Deebit)? Centralisation of Hashing power ?

I'd say no, given that anything can be set as a private pool and purchases can now be directed anywhere...
