They say they are incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. I have not been able to find a company under this name on Corporations Canada website. Unless I am missing something here, this company is a scam just due to this fact alone.
You can incorporate provincially or nationally in Canada, so try the BC corp registry.
Thanks. I just realized the same thing.
I was just on the BC site and it seems upon first glance that I can't do this on the net. But I am still looking around.
EDIT: yeah it seems you need to go in person or pay a small fee. I think I'll pass and just conclude that it's a scam. BTW Youtube has been bombarded with testimonial videos within the last little while...they all look illegitimate too; paid actors most likely.

Are you sure you aren't infected with a virus?
Are you just pool mining or are you also running a local bitcoin client?
If it is mining only the activity they describe isn't mining. Pool mining isn't p2p, pool mining doesn't use a lot of bandwidth, pool mining doesn't connect to multiple machines, pool mining doesn't use IRC.

I'm not sure, I guess I will have to run virus scans on all the computers here. The computers that I use should be fine but there are others that may have an infection...it would be funny if I had a virus after all! LoL...I thought for sure it was my bitcoin mining. Anyways, yes I only mine in a pool.
And thanks to everyone for all the advice. I'm considering changing ISPs.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Rogers bought out Cogeco a while ago and Cogeco is only available in Western Ontario as far as I am aware of. I used to use it when I lived in Windsor. I HATED them more than Rogers.
OK, I'm going to help you get to the bottom of the issue in a simple step by step fashion.
Call Rogers' support.
You'll be connected to level 1 support. These guys are clueless.
So ask to talk to level 2 support. Politely, of course. You know they're losers but they can cockblock you, so be nice.
At this point you'll be talking to engineers. Disregard them, for their methods to figure out what's wrong with your internet connection are naturally limited to the practice of science, and that methodology and epistemology -- clearly, as you have already been debriefed by Rogers -- is beneath the problem that is afflicting your internet connection.
So tell them to connect you to level 3.
When they patch you through, you'll finally have reached level 3 support. This is where the Internet Shamans work. They, and only they, can FEEL your internet connection, and they can FEEL the viruses that your computer is distributing over the internet. These privileged and magical individuals, in their infinite benevolence and with their infallible judgment that privileges oneness with the internet universe, will surely be able to restore harmony to your computing system.
You're welcome :-)

Are you a Rogers level 3 technician? LoL...what do I say to these guys once I get there? "I'm mining Bitcoins, please stop flagging my connection as an IRC bot, thanx"
??VPN google it
Yeah it looks like I have to go rogue from now on. Oh well, maybe I can grab me some American Netflix while I'm at it. The Canadian one sux!
Where do you live and who is your ISP?
I live in Ontario, Canada. My ISP is Rogers.
This kind of thing has come up before, and in every case that I can recall, it turned out that the ISP wasn't really combating viri but trying to clamp down on Bittorrent or some other P2P tech that takes a lot of bandwidth. They can't really say it that way, though. Why would your miners be consuming a lot of bandwidth? You should only have one that is 'net facing while the rest just connect to each other and that one. If nothing else, you can port that one's connection over Tor, although that will slow things down. A ssh tunnel to an off-isp-network shell account would work well.
Ok I have 2 computers with 5 miners (cards). I use Deepbit and GUI miner (used to use POCLBM but switched recently). For the last while I have been running only one computer which has 2 miners. My question to you is: does the mining software take a lot of bandwidth? I can't imagine it being more bandwidth than downloading a torrent. Also, will porting through the TOR network really hide the packets from my ISP? I never had a use for TOR so I am unfamiliar with it.
Ok so I just got off the phone with my ISP. They have been detecting a "virus" and have shut down my connection because they FEEL like I am infecting other people. Of course, what they are seeing is the IRC P2P activity from my miners. I told them it is not a virus and they refuse to accept my explanation. I told them I would turn off the program if they would just give my internet back (temporary fix).
My question to you guys is, what should I do now? Is there a way around my snooping ISP? I feel like I have two options right now, 1. Stop mining. 2. Change ISPs. Also I have been mining on and off for more than a year now.
Hoping some people can help me out here.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I'd love to see Jacques Fresco's response to Bitcoin!
"no, we don't need that I have all the plans right here! We just need all these things that I saw on the jetson's errrr the Epcot Center errrr no I designed them because I'm an engineer. Yeah check out these new car designs, I've never actually made any prototypes cause no company will hire me. Here check out a mag lev train it's smarter to travel at Mach 4 so that when you crash your death is quick and painless. What's that Peter? Oh yeah the whole world SHOULD go to Sweden on a lunch break cause that is the scientific and efficient use of the world's resources. Yeah can I get someone to program this computer? Cause really I'm old as fuck and don't even know how to turn it on, it'll get the job done though, mark my words it'll get ALL the jobs done so humankind can become more worthless than the money they so desperately cling to. "
Sorry that was more of a rant than a response to Bitcoins I just think TVP is absolutely absurd just like it's boastful leaders. Anyways, if you are part of TZM or TVP, sorry to troll you here but I have a hard time believing that you put much thought into these organizations. You would be better off joining a charity organization or donating to one, most charitable donations will go a hell of a lot farther than TZM and TVP will ever go.
Also, this thread is tl;dr so sorry if I repeated anything

Bitcoin is open source just so you know.
This means the source code is there for all to view and contribute to. If you are not a programmer and you remain skeptical then hire one to read the source for you. If you don't want to or are still not convinced then don't participate. Quite simple really.

Re: POLL: What name would you give to the smallest unit of bitcoin (0.00000001)?
I can't beleive no one's hit this one yet...
Since it's a digital currency my mind warps right back to the original Tron (I'm such a geek) where everything was "bits" and "bytes", therefore everything that is a sub-BitCoin is a Byte or ByteCoin.

But a Byte is made up of 8 bits soooo this makes no sense for the geeks among us. When talking bits and bytes...bits are smaller.
On another note we can refer to 8 BTC as a BYTE!!!! 1024 BTC = a KILOBYTE etc. etc. Bet no one thought of that yet!
Millionnaires and billionnaires will be replaced with Bytennaires and Kilobytennaires LoL Can't wait to see who becomes the world's first Megabytennaire (1,048,576 BTC)
Re: POLL: What name would you give to the smallest unit of bitcoin (0.00000001)?
An E-Zevanbit... E7, Easy7, Easyvan-bit
OMG This is just too funny
