Any estimates on when distributions will begin again?

Any estimates on when distributions will begin again?

I am hoping this quarter.  The only guidance we have received so far is to be patient.  I am continuing operations as normal, and am still raising funds for my solar dream in the meantime.  This week we will mint our 2oz .9999 gold coins, so we are progressing.  I hope to announce our next silver coin in the coming weeks as well.

TL;DR Many services on nastyfans.org not working correctly. I am alive. I will fix everything. No distributions will be lost. I ask for patience.

Firefox is now flagging the Nastyfans site:

"nastyfans.org uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate expired on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 4:47 PM."

Yes, most things NastyFans are basically not working currently.  Luckily, this does not impact NastyMining operations.  Please remain patient as nonnakip finds the time to resolve the outstanding issues.

I believe the letsencrypt renewal or fix for this is just 2 command-line strings. I just went through this not too long ago. Having to recert every 2 or 3 months is a pain, but it does increase security.

Hello nastyfans.

I apologize that things are moving so slow. We are now 8 weeks with no transaction server. This means no distributions and no functioning auction and many related services offline. I do not try to restore the old transaction server because it relies on bitcoin-core too much and that is not sustainable. I take time now to re-implement transaction server.

I plan to release all nastyfans services code as GPLv3. The new code I write for transaction server is already available on github at: https://github.com/nonnakip/nastyfans-suite
There is not much there now but it will increase as I finish new modules and we transition to a more reliable setup.

I renewed the TLS certificate for nastyfans.org.

I hope to begin issuing missed distributions in 1-2 weeks. I will issue individual distributions for each missed distribution. The distributions will use the data from the correct distribution points. Since many transactions can be considered a waste of BTC with more tx fees I decide to cover all tx fees for these distributions personally.

After missed distributions are issued I will focus on fixing the auction. I expect it only takes a couple days to implement and test before bringing it online.

As in my last post I ask for continued patience.

Working now. Thanks, nonnakip.

Thanks for all the hard work. I know it is time consuming.

That is some sleek code.

Sure, but imagine a chair made out of bitcoins!

I have traded the Avalon6 for 0.25 BTC & a R9 Nano GPU that I am using to assist in creating vanity addresses for our Minted Seats Coin Series.  I have been generating addresses for the 2oz silver/gold coins for months now, and am anxious to get them out the door to buyers.  Additionally, with rumors of the S9 being made available soon, I thought it was best to get rid of our least efficient hardware and raise some funds in the process.  I have transferred the recently mined coins from Eligius to NastyFans along with 0.25 BTC to NastyMining here.  This does bring our hashrate to low levels, but it is only temporary.

Looking good!

Do can i joint it?

Do can i joint it? 

Normally yes, you can join by signing up on the web site (nastyfans.org) and buying one or more seats. However, I read something here about the nastyfans services being down (including seat trading?) so it may some time before that is possible again.

Status update.

All software needed for transaction server is completed and tested and available on github. Everything will work as expected.

All private keys from nastyfans history are recovered.

All local wallet transactions (accounting) are recovered.

Now I am in the process of converting all nastyfans transactions (80,000 of them) from wallet.dat to the new format for our transaction server. I battle to create a fully automated conversion process because there were many exceptions during nastyfans history where manual tweeks existed. I take very care about this process. After a perfect conversion exists all member histories will be preserved and future tracking is much easier. I am excited to get away from wallet.dat madness.

After conversion is complete I expect to begin pushing missed distributions. Also here I must take special care because many offline seat transfers exist during past 2 months. Distributions must correclty reflect these offline trades at correct dates.

I hope to begin pushing missed distributions next week. The data conversion takes longer than expected but it is the most critical point and I do not want to make a mistake here.

Thank you for the update and for working on the issues. We'll be back up in no time

Thanks for the update and especially for being extra careful!
