[Resolved] A1BitcoinPool Complaint

[P4man]

havent been keeping up with the news
sad to hear if it is true

http://blockchain.info/address/8c7383cf30e92ec1b7b17ec576671f31a84fff88 is that wallets transactions
No Input (Newly Generated Coins) = blocks

blockchain.info its worth learning 

Time to slap a scammer tag on to him and his aliases then. Not that it will change a thing of course.

Well, once this thread:

got past complaining about it being a Prop Pool - Inaba and Meni did point out the problems with the Pool OP
(you gotta read most of the thread to find the actual details )
3rd page of that thread ...

http://www.villageoffrankfort.com/live/police if this person operates out of that jurisdictional.  There might me sufficient proof that monies were acquired with no intent to pay investors/miners.

The homepage stated that he understood the agreement and he explicitly would not do what he did, seems criminal.  Anyone in Ill?

No, I don't nor do I know who it is, just making a suggestion.  But the police will investigate...there are cybercrime laws on the books now that will help them find out who did this.  People were defrauded across state lines so FBI may be involved too.

We're giving him a few days to defend himself. If you were payed anything by this guy, now is the time to speak up.

If his system actually got hacked, then I assume the hacker made off with the wallet too. New pools have a habit of storing their wallets on insecure servers. :/

That being said, I have several shares that I haven't been payed for yet. I was "iCanHazHash" as shown in the Google cache for about 30,000 shares.

But if someone stole the wallet then the thief would have tried to move the BTC somewhere else immediately ...
since there would be no person on this planet, not mentally retarded, who had a pool and didn't backup the pools wallet to somewhere else.

According to http://blockexplorer.com/address/1DodyyJvT5z6ztwFS16w5j3ZBKfTFgxBNE they have been moved, but yes the dates when they were moved were 3 days after each generation transaction, so that doesn't support the hacking theory.

OK just to do a VERY simple bit of checking that others have already done but to write it down here:

www.a1bitcoinpool.com = 91.121.157.85

http://blockchain.info/address/8c7383cf30e92ec1b7b17ec576671f31a84fff88
http://blockchain.info/address/1DodyyJvT5z6ztwFS16w5j3ZBKfTFgxBNE <- same thing but using the address
has a coinbase transaction of

http://blockchain.info/tx-index/15391961/2098fe5ec34c9f76ebe1daf89d414ae7d5eb719e350eccbd247c34c6b97c4786
is listed as coming from a1bitcoinpool.com 91.121.157.85

and is in Block http://blockchain.info/block-index/866987 166170

If you check that address, it has received 2 blocks
(the other one was http://blockchain.info/tx-index/15091932/3a58909b9d5630c9a3e5356468262586a1da71e93c4c4b94270419d9f74d2d5b
that was again the same IP address and was the coinbase of block http://blockchain.info/block-index/858690 165159)

The last block (166171) was 2012-02-10 09:51:39 UTC
This was then transferred to http://blockchain.info/address/1CBB4rmnDfdWUkbAWmH28DxkGP76e16Ey9
at 2012-02-13 19:36:41 UTC (3 days and 10 hours later)

That's a long time ...

That target address is an active address and still has 53.07060936 BTC and has made 25 payments to other addresses since 26-Dec when it first was used (first received anything)

So out of vague curiosity - did anyone receive any payments from 1CBB4rmnDfdWUkbAWmH28DxkGP76e16Ey9 ?

PREVIOUS BLOCK
The previous block http://blockchain.info/block-index/858690 2012-02-03 10:14:08
was sent to http://blockchain.info/address/15nLXFXeYb7rKReL4ZX5PJkjxahkriWEhy
on 2012-02-06 21:59:04 UTC (this time 3 days and 12 hours later)

That's a long time also ...

and then most of it (48.78203627 BTC) was sent to http://blockchain.info/address/1JksGKvJyo2gqCUnyP3YCzX85gJEHHK2iZ
at 2012-02-07 22:27:59 UTC (1 day 30 minutes later)

etc. etc.
