Thanks for all the hard work, NF team!

What kind of credits do I earn when I link my miner to my nastyfans account? Also Is there any other way to link without providing a signature?

You get NastyCredits.    They are basically worthless at this time, but we are going to work to provide them some value at some point in the distant future.  My hope is that they grow into a tool that can be used as a sort of Nasty line of credit and are eventually purchased for utility, entertainment, & speculation.

You would have to get an official response from nonnakip for your second question, but one of my requests was that no identifying information be required in the signature so you shouldn't feel opposed to signing your address.  You should also get in the habit of owning your private keys if you do not already.

Thanks for the answer, I've sent a pm to nonnakip regarding the issue. Nastyfans is a pretty amazing project with a future that I'd love to be a part of.

However, looking at https://nastyfans.org/members.csv any idea why the member count went from 307 to 614 overnight this month?

That an interesting question, but it seems the number exactly doubled which would suggest somekind of counting error

Yes it was a counting error. I do many changes to nastyfans backend infrastructure. A test version of new infrastructure runs and it counted members from real and test instances. So numbers doubled. When I correct this I notice anonymous 5oz. coin holders are not counted. It is fixed now but I need to fix past records also. The current member count (334) is correct.

Cool, thanks for the explanation!

The good news is that I have received 2 more S7's and they are up and running on NastyPool.  The bad news is that one of them has a bad hashing board.  That puts us down about 1.6TH/s until I can get it resolved.  I've put in a ticket with Bitmain and will follow-up with them.

Edit: More bad news...  The 2nd S7 received today now also has a bad hashboard so we are down another 1.6TH/s.  I've put in a second ticket with Bitmain.  This does not bode well for their Batch 8 design.

Happy holidays to you all.

Sorry if it has been posted before, but I'd like to ask if the 25% donated to nasty mining is solely for new hardware, or is the electricity in there as well. If the electricity is not included, where does that come from?

The electricity is donated by whoever is operating the equipment.  You can see anyone donating hashes on the NastyPool miners page.  They are easily identified by the following text below their username, "donating to nastyfans as..."  Anyone can donate hashes by mining on NastyPool with their username instead of a Bitcoin address.  Currently NastyMining, Squirrel_Dearing, & punkboy15 are the only donators.

NASTYFANS PERFORMANCE:
Going by average quarterly statistics, the NastyFans seat price saw a 127% annual increase in 2015 while distributing 0.00154 BTC per seat for a current annual distribution rate of 5.3%.  Over the last year, 2,059 NastyFans seats have been traded for a total of 33.8 BTC.  This represents an 11% increase in BTC volume and a 106% increase in seat volume from the 1,000 seats traded for 30.45 BTC in 2014.  You can see a complete spreadsheet of the historical performance of this project here.

NASTYMINING GROWTH:
NastyMining is finishing the year with 485MH/s per NastyFans seat.  This represents a 230% annual growth in hashrate.  I have also shipped the defective s7 hashboards to Bitmain and expect that we will receive an additional 3.1TH/s once those parts are processed and replaced.

SILVER COIN SALES:
Two years ago we started selling Minted Seats made out of silver.  In the last two years we have sold 200 1oz coins and 40 5oz coins.  That is a total of 400oz sold.  Once the next batch of silver Minted Seats arrive and the pre-sales are distributed, there will be a remaining total of 1,005oz of silver held in inventory.

2OZ SILVER MINTED SEATS:
The 2oz silver Minted Seats are expected to arrive within the next week.  40 of these coins have already been sold, including the 25 limited edition gold highlighted versions.

2OZ GOLD MINTED SEATS:
I have announced a 2oz .9999 gold 50seat coin.  Only 10 of these coins will be minted.  2 of them have already been spoken for, with the remaining 8 still available for purchase.  This is expected to generate a $5,000 donation for NastyFans.

PROBATION REMINDER:
There are currently 3,171 seats on probation because their owners have not logged in at nastyfans.org.  Please take a moment to log into your account and make sure your information is up to date.  Thanks!

First off, thanks a ton to OgNasty and nonnakip for a great everything! 

I keep up on the latest info with Nasty Mining/Fan Club/Pool using the iOS app.  Since this has everything I need, I never thought to log into the nastyfans site which put me in a probation status.  Is it possible to "log in" to the iOS app only once and have it it ping the nastyfans site each time I use the app? 

Thanks!
