Ahh go on then. I've lingered around for long enough I'd say.

Defend yourself yes. But at least act with some professionalism if you feel like you've won the argument. There's no need for the pompous attitude.

You're not helping your reputation with posts like that..

Yea, but I mean how did you link the IP address to him? If you don't have that, you have no evidence.

For clarification, I'm not taking any sides here.

How do you know this is his IP address?

Also, it's a rather crass to link one IP address to an entire state and then say it might be the same person.

I'm slightly confused by all this. From my point of view, someone running some form on site that deals with the outings or publication of possible scammers should stay as impartial as possible. If you come across as confrontational or causing some from of drama, people are going to be wary of taking your site seriously. And I think we've got to a stage where people are thinking like that.

To stay impartial would mean not personally adding people/companies to the website and taking a definitive backseat role so to speak. The issue is if you personally add a person/site that is incorrect (See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217697.msg2303699#msg2303699) then you're making a fool out of your own site.

I don't know why you're attacking him for that post when he later went on to say he'll wait for additional people to confirm their delivery and statistics.

I'd be worried to try a new "porker site".

Anyway, on topic, rake is maybe a tad high at 3% and the site isn't exactly attractive to the eye.

I agree, however the issue people had in this thread is how hastily you added BTC-E even after numerous forum members stated the issue wasn't with BTC-E. I like the system you have, just not the way you're currently implementing it.

I think in general it's better to keep as many records as possible if you're wanting to keep "above board" so to speak. I don't think HMRC have an official stance on Bitcoin in regards to mining specifically, and I'm not sure how much of a response you would get if you contacted them. I agree that recording market rate at the time of mining would be a logistical nightmare and even setting up some form of automation would require a bit of work.

In the long run, the more records you have will set you in good stead if HMRC eventually come knocking. It's a matter of deciding how much detail you actually go into though, specifically when it comes to mining.

To post in other parts of the forums you need a minimum of 5 posts and have a "total time logged in" of 4 hours or more. You can check this at the top above the navigation.

This error is usually tied to the miner trying to connect to the bitcoin client.

Have a look at these other topics that cover the issue:

You'd probably want to look at https://www.bitpay.com/

A 502 error relates to the server you are trying to connect to in some form. Are you 100% sure you have your miner pointing to the correct address of the pool? If so, there's an issue at the pool that's stopping you from connection.
