Fluffy, it is Monday now and I still dont have a tracking number or any responses at all from you or anyone at openrigs. I was promised an immediate response on Wednesday by Donna and since then it has been complete silence.

Thank you. I will keep an eye out for that. Can you tell me when it cleared customs? And can I still expect it within a week with EMS?

Well, if EMS is significantly cheaper now and I paid additional to switch over to EMS back when the prices were high, shouldn't I logically get the difference refunded since you will be paying your carrier the lower rate you now advertise (and not the extremely high prices you initially charged)?

This would especially apply if the package still has not shipped. Also, my package has now been in customs for 31 days and counting.

Order 1441.

I am not sure people understand how pumps works. If you have noticed, the coin for sale on the sell side, has not changed in response to the dropping price - ideally, you would see Asks, decrease in value and get closer to the trading price. But, in Mooncoin, people have not changed their orders - why?

Blind optimism? I dont think so - they have a 100 other coins to speculate on with much thinner sell walls to beat.

Fake Sell Walls to push down price? Yes - there are 7.3 Billion Mooncoins for sale on Cryptsy (30% of all mooncoins in existence). My guess is that someone with a large horde of Bitcoins is pushing the price down (probably trading with himself too to fake some volume) and then all the sell walls will be removed for a massive, violent pump.

Just a theory.

I'm buying as price drops since Mooncoin will reach a block-halving before anyone else will (unless I am mistaken) - ~960 blocks a day = halving in 2 months. Halving makes alt coins fun.

Yes.
After
Yes - watching only didnt work either.

I did a completely fresh install (Bitcoin QT and Armory) on a completely different computer, restored Armory from a paper wallet and was finally able to access my funds and transfer them out.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Did that - no luck.

So, I deleted Bitcoin QT and Armory completely, did completely fresh installs for both and then restored Armory from a paper backup - once transactions got done scanning, I tried to click on a button and ... Armory crashed. Now I am sad =( ...

Anything guys?

Would love to get my money in atleast a few transactions.

So Armory was working fine until a few weeks ago - now it is completely inaccessible.

It either scans transactions on loop (goes back to 0% after 100 and loops) till it crashes
OR
It loads, Armory shown to be Online. No balances show and then the first click causes it to freeze and Not Respond, till I have no option but to improperly shut it down

Have Reset Factory Defaults/ Have Rebuilt and Rescanned Databases - Armory and QT are both the latest version.

Please help since I have been completely unable to access ny funds at Armory for the last few days now.

Log file has been sent as of last night (EST).

It looks much more stable now (the WUs have really spiked so that's a good sign) - I am in Ohio, US, so switching both to US East might be a good idea! I'll keep an eye on it and given you have a 7 day rental, I want to make sure you get the best experience.

Let me know if I can provide any assistance.

Asmegin, I hope you are on here. I will contact you on Betarigs once Mux has the messaging service up and running but the pool you are using seems to be having some major stability issues. My rigs are mining stable but your pool seems to be going down consistently. Can you look into it?

Asmegin - thanks for renting my 2 rigs! If you are on here, please feel free to contact me via email or message me on here if I can provide any assistance.

As I said before - great service! Might be beneficial for renters to be able to rate the rental after use and leave some comments too on the rental history page! this would help identify the more stable and responsive leasers to future prospective renters and probably help reduce the number of conflict based complaints you may get.

Haha congratulations! Everything looks stable on my side - so lets hope you find a ton of blocks in your remaining 5 hours!

Love the idea!!! Just put up one of my rigs to test out your service.

Edit: Rented by SierraDev. If you are on here, let me know how your experience was.

The economics are actually slightly worse. Difficultly will increase to around 1770 in the next 22 hours and you will only mine 440 LTC at that rate for a total of $17,600. Now you are losing money.

I agree with you that this is just like buying LTC now.

Coz I had 20k just lying around, effectively collecting dust?

Just so I don't misunderstand - has the price been effectively quadrupled?

The fact that 50% of Megacoin's supply was mined in 5 months and the next 50% will take a few decades seems like a massive scam to me. The ramp up in difficulty around the time of 'adoption' seems like it is designed to help creators and the earliest adopters - I.e. - Scam.

That's a very silly thing to say. No one calculates ROI on best case scenario and investing by simply expecting something to go up in price is a very stupid investment strategy.

Truthfully, ROI should be calculated by taking the worst case expectation of difficulty increase and price drop to determine what it is worth for you. You can reasonably expect difficulty to increase by 5-10% every 3 days which puts you at a difficulty of over 4000 at the end of the month - now what if priced dropped to 20?

Don't insult people on the basis of a behind the napkin calculation you did.

Seems logical to me that Primecoin will be next. It's the only alt with an actual scientific application behind it and it cannot have a direct competitor. It's easy enough to rehash block chains and put a new coin out but there is no reason to put out a competitive prime calculating coin.

Just my 2 XPM.
