I have also received my principal as well as a modest 8% return on it, I intend to leave the other 60% gain I have there for the chance of a major upside, or nice bitch story for the forums later. I appreciate all the cyber sleuthing folks have done. I have also done quite a bit of research on a few crumbs to follow, and under all the layers it does look pretty fishy. But for now, they are performing well, and if I inject another investment, like all investments, it is a risk - buyer beware - but this is paying, withdrawing, earning, etc. So far so good.  

There are very common design patterns between that poker scam site and this one, I've been trying to find an HTML/CSS theme out there that shares the comment patterns and naming conventions, and I just don't have a positive hit so far. That is a red flag, if they had more brains they would probably use WP or Drupal to run the reporting/community side, and due to that, I hesitate to continue endorsing or spreading the word. There are red flags, and thanks to the help of NLNICO shedding light on that, I don't think I would have started to roll up my sleeves and investigated further. (I am a software developer, 20 years+ now).

I have enough of a balance that I will certainly be looking every day at its growth, but I sure feel good knowing I have my principal and minor return back!

I wish everyone the best on it!

btc-arbs: I've been using it, and promoting it. The opportunity for arbitrage is real, the numbers and deltas are factual. I'm keeping a blog update at http://notnull.org/bitcoin-arbitrage-news/bitcoin-arbitrage-updates/ and in the event I get screwed, which would really only be if they steal and bail, I will certainly be posting. But there is little reason too, there is far more upside to stick around and continue the arbitrage strategy, the difference between the markets is significant, and consistent.

The idea of an annual return, assuming 2% every single day, is huge, but it won't be 2% every day. Yesterday it was 2.28% and a couple days prior it was .4%. If someone was to compound the balance by 2% every day, for a year, consistently, the return is enormous, alarmingly huge. I get it, but the difference of the price of the commodity between the exchanges they use is clear and consistent, why not operate legit when the chance to make a clear daily return is right there? They would only need to make 1 or 2 trades a day, sounds like a chill methodology. It's 1.4% this second just looking at it.

IMHO: It's just logical math, if it's a scam then the joke's on me, but I sense the trolls are just jealous and so jaded now after Gox that any investment with any promise is too scary to consider objectively.

Let the flames begin.....it's not that it is too good to be true, it is just plausible and seemingly good to go!

yeah, i'm really liking it. I've been writing about it at http://notnull.org/bitcoin-arbitrage/

I've reconciled my gains each day, no issues, and I've compared the gains to the swings in market value between the exchanges cited on btc-arbs. they pencil, they seem to be legit to me.

Just do the simple math comparing the spot price of btc/usd on both btc-e and bitstamp, they are always a solid 2% different, so long as that fact remains, the ability to conduct arbitrage is valid.

What am I missing? My balance us up from when I started, I haven't bothered to try withdrawing yet, but I had no issues depositing (I read the directions, a little unusual but worked fine).

News has been updated on http://ufo.notnull.org/ - The developer team requested I copy/paste a notice.

As an aside, I might migrate the wallet today because of the serious lag with findblock. This would result in a brief outage as I restart the stratum layer to re-connect. (listsinceblock is getting very laggy, usually I just change it out, and ideas?)

That is awesome, I just added it to my pool http://moon.notnull.org/index.php

Updated to latest wallet:

    "version" : 9620000,
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,

Thanks for the update!

Less than a day ago, the fork occurred: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=472116 missed it.

every time a fork occurs, god kills a kitteh.

sometimes when forks occur, miners kill kitteh. fucking forks.

ufo.notnull.org will be all good. Notnull.org has supported this coin from the start, stick a fork in it. And not only did we survive the Fedora fork, we did a billion coins on it http://tips.notnull.org/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks (from 60 billion to 61, in a few hours). We are running the latest source clone from Git https://github.com/UFOCoins/ufo/watchers.

Thank you all for the supplemental notifications on PM's, emails, pool forms and other public forums.

Thanks for mining with me, I hope the hard fork brings some good steak, good luck everyone and may the force be with you.

central wallet there btw.

They lost me at 'take back the control of'.

Maybe it will spell more business for https://www.vaultofsatoshi.com, I like them more than Gox anyway.

I was drunk and commented on wrong thread lol

Doing great. really, glad to know that. hurray. Good heads up on all those issues (excuses) that are so simply explained, like 'multipool' caused it. I recently got 820 million TIPS to a Vietnamese miner/user last weekend, the balance was neglected and I had every reason to think GONE. I would talk for WEEKS with friends about his crazy fucking balance that someone bailed from, with the current trade value. But I never compromised what is RIGHT and MORAL and ETHICAL. So don't talk shit about how I run a pool, do you run a pool? Do you have any concept how some folks might need the daily trade revenue?

You all need to wake up to what I'm expressing here,  I feel like a fucking canary in a coal mine. Enjoy the enlightened koolaid for the night, ill circle back tomorrow and solve the mess that should never have been.

check your compass.

This is a symptom of a much larger problem, but whatever.

yay for you.

confirmations started to flow, then they failed. again. this is ridiculous. I am in the middle of trying to move over a billion TIPS from a central wallet, my cursing, aggravation and other concerns are nothing compared to how my miners will feel.

This should have only taken 5 minutes of my life to migrate, this is now accounting for hours.

This is a serious problem, and no coin should ever have symptoms like this. You are clueless (those are are complaining about my comments).

633k Fucks payed out so far at notnull.org's fuck pool.

I've opened it back up, get yer fuck on. Fuckers.

fc.notnull.org

notnull is currently updating central wallets and things, back soon

ESTIMATED RETURN IS 1:15PM MST (Arizona) TIME

Miners, this is just a community reminder to not use the same user/password/pin combination on all your mining pools!

For example: http://kitexplorer.tk/address/KLba5xXAcgq3zwMC6zaKykZK1Ko47fW7ep

This person has managed to use the most classic method of hacking miner accounts, using the same username/password/pin combination from another pool to infiltrate accounts on a different pool. I have spent the last hour of my life, trying to explain to a miner who accused me of stealing their coins. As a result, I learned the destination wallet address, where the miner stole coins to. This wallet address has stolen many coins, but it is NOT MY FUCKING responsibility to baby sit miners on the pool.

If anyone manages to identify the owner of MEOW wallet KLba5xXAcgq3zwMC6zaKykZK1Ko47fW7ep that would be great, and good luck crucifying them.

If anyone has suggestions I am all ears, as a pool operator I don't like hearing about miners losing coins to theft. This is clearly the biggest drawback when running open source pool software, where someone could create an account 'honey pot' and use it to farm pool access on other pools. But, last I checked, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, when all a miner needs to do is keep unique account information across pools.
