i was half hoping Phonetic was being silent just to be a dick. since the start there have been scores of people calling him and his pool a scammer for no reason. these tools need to learn that shit goes wrong life happens, and not everything is a scam. and this thread isnt the only one. as soon as something happens that's out of the ordinary, a bunch of idiots will yell scam, even if they have no proof, and 99.9% of the time they dont. even when there are posts clearly stating that things will get fixed and whatnot, these idiots still post scam scam scam. just shut the hell up, read the thread, something you probably were too stupid to do, and get some proof before yelling scam. that word is forever ruined for me because of these idiots.
But you are totally missing the picture here..
He has double payment issues around 24th..
so.. if he cant pay anybody.. Why didnt he:
1. Take his pool offline.
2. Inform on troubles on the site to make people leave for other pools (if he is not lying with his last info that 500 MHash made shit hit the fan)
Failing both of these DOES lead to scamming suspicion.. So your "baseless scammer namecalling" is the baseless statement..
If you have a failed service and are (mis)-handling value of some kind of a customer, and you know you cant pay the customer. you shut it down, until fixed.. or at least informs so the customer can choose to either continue to mine with the risk of not earning anything.. or move to a different pool to actually get paid. And to relieve the pool of its activity to help on the issues..
And then the last and most revealing hint that this is a scam..
I have said it many times. but here it goes again.
This pool had over 2.5GHash per second a long time..
ALOT of coins have been mined after his double payment issues.. Where is these doge's if he have to "get new coins" to pay us back?
IF THESE ARE GONE. its because _he_ removed them.. easy as that.
