I also use guiminer.  To set failover, I just use the extra flags section as follows:
-o stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333 -u youraddresshere -p x

I use another server as my primary as I am not in the US.
I'm sure a second set of -o -u -p right after the first set (useast?) would work for another failover server.

With the transaction timestamps of the rogue BTC address, it seems likely that the hackers were modifying the DB directly using a script, changing payout addresses and initiating payouts in succession.  They didn't even need to enter PINs.  This risk was practically eliminated by middlecoin by paying out to the username BTC addresses only, and transmitting the amounts daily when the threshold was reached.  Something for aTriz and nearmiss to think about.

h2odysee, more than half the page are of inactive addresses.  Can you set up a separate page for inactives (those not mining at the time of page creation) so that the page for actives finishes loading faster?

Here's what I have in my home screen:
BTC payout: hashco.ws, middlecoin.com, cryptologik.com, alternatepool.com
LTC payout: switchercoin.com
Actual coin payouts: multipool.us, ctompo.dyndns.org:8083/Tompool

Their address, 71–75 Shelton Street, is a virtual office known as Garden Studios.

aTriz and nearmiss, are you using Cryptsy for WDC valuation?  There's a small buy order stuck at 0.1 BTC, which may be causing profitability to be too high.

Any reason why cryptologik has been down for the past 3 days?

Tagcoin forked yesterday, and will do a hard fork at block 12,000.  You (or the pool you use) must have v1.02 to continue, but you might not get much or anything at all from now until block 12,000.

Tagcoin's thread is at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=317408.0

Awesome or forked?  Hopefully awesome. :-)

ionstorm's post in the other thread?  It's serious.  Notices of complaint and hearing have been sent to BFL dated Nov. 15.  Civil action hearing set on Dec. 12.

bitjet: If your FIL still has that email and he's in the US, he can go to small claims court.  Or he can go to a higher court like ionstorm did.  He can definitely forward the email exchange as a PDF file to ionstorm, and ionstorm can include it as evidence in his ongoing BFL lawsuit.  Not sure if your FIL can add his case to ionstorm's though, to save on time and fees.

I concur.  His current FB address is https://www.facebook.com/mcjaysws , using the name "Marcus SyajcMaa".
You won't lose him with this address, in case he changes his shortcut again: https://www.facebook.com/n/?profile.php&id=100006732008030

Below is a thread in a Bitcoin FB group.  I checked Hashfast's website as well as their two active threads here, and couldn't find any Hashfast unit shipped.  How can they, when they just got their chips 9 days ago?  The thread below has already been removed, but he also posted his original announcement at https://www.facebook.com/groups/637061846307348/ .

Want to start mining with a real miner? Are you ready to invest to earn more? I am currently selling 2 Pre-Owned HashFast Machines that can give you 1200 GHash/s.

https://hashfast.com/shop/sierra-third-batch/#!prettyPhoto

I am selling each for $6200 free shipping worldwide. If interested message me. I only accept payments via bitcoin for this machine.

$5 per GH/s is a very fair price. Kudos to you!


Xxx   6:39pm Nov 14
I gather you don't have this "in hand" and this is a 'pre-order"?

Hashfast had a Batch 0?

This is from the 1st batch. The next batch will be released mid to late January next year.

Only one person knows how Bitcoin works!  That is, until customers get this book "in two weeks" (actually, on Jan. 28, 2014).  Preorder now!



(I am not affiliated with the merchant, the publisher or the author.  Just found it while looking for parties that might sell Walmart GC for BTC).

ICANN requires all domain registrants to file real contact info when registering domains, and may cancel a domain if the info provided is false.  To keep domain info confidential, third party domain privacy entities are allowed to substitute their contact info for the actual registrant's contact info at the domain registrar level, so any whois request that the public makes will show the domain privacy entity's info ("The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity").  In asic-technologies' case, Contact Privacy Inc is that entity, and Contact Privacy's address is in Toronto.  Tucows is the domain registrar, and fasthosts.co.uk is the domain reseller for Tucows.  Fasthosts is probably hosting the website, thus "Website Location: United Kingdom".

Contact Privacy Inc, as well as fasthosts.co.uk, both have the actual contact info provided by the asic-technologies scammers, but I doubt that the info would be real either.

No costs on BFL's side for a willing call center.  Outbound centers get paid per sale, in this case, for a successful issuance of a coupon code.  I would tend to think that the coupon code wouldn't be enough for the center to get paid, and that BFL would require the code to be used by the lead to generate a payout to the center.

On the center's side, they can add upsells such as cards for free gas and groceries, magazine subscriptions, government grant training (is that still alive?), identity theft protection, etc, just to have an income stream while the coupon hasn't been used.

"Butterfly Labs has shipped more units than all other ASIC manufacturers combined.  Twice over."

Now they can also process refunds and comply with FTC rules.

Bitpay?
