Well, maybe I should reconsider my offer?! I saw Hero accounts went for 3 BTC!

Any negative trust?

Of course not. Trust is neutral.

Hi,

due inactivity and financial problems I want to sell my main account on this forum.

Details:
Position: Sr. Member

Activity: 372
Avatar: yes!

Price: 0.5 BTC (negotiable). I think 2011 accounts are very rare...

Escrow is a must!

Further explanation of what continued with Netsolus removing mining devices that are to be hosted without consent here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=301665.0   

The service wasn't down.  Netsolus ships out my units to BFL for shipping without my consent to do so.  Read it in the link above.

This forum is about custom hardware not hosting providers. Sorry for the troubles you're experiencing though.

Post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Hosting Custom Hardware probably fits the bill well with Custom Hardware.  Plus, you are asking me to post in a section that ADVERTISES services.  This isn't an advertisement.  It's a review of performance.  Other owners of Custom Hardware should know what they are getting themselves into, if they decide to host with this company.

[Beware] Netsolus: Pulls my miners to be shipped without my consent!

I figured out why my miners weren't hashing away for almost 3 hours now. Amy, at Netsolus(hosting company), pulled my 12 singles to be shipped back without calling me or communicating with me beforehand.

XXX-

I received an email today that you reached out to Butterfly Labs requesting your gear be shipped to you.
I had the Technician at the offsite data Center pull your gear to deliver to Butterfly labs in the morning.
This Data center is several hours away from Kansas City. I will email you in the morning after I have delivered your gear back BFL.


Thank you,


Amy B.

I never requested that those devices be pulled from my account. I told BFL that I do not want future orders to be shipped for hosting!

Dear BFL Office,
I want to notify that I will not be hosting this item with Netsolus. Please ship the item directly to me. I currently have 13 credits remaining shipping charges that need to be credited to me. Please apply one of them to this order for shipping to me.

Thanks,

That is fine. Just ship all 14 of my units to BFL, and I want the rest of the hosting costs refunded back to me pro rata.

Thanks,

Amy,
I can't believe that you would pull all 12 of my units from hosting without asking me. I wrote BFL regarding no more future orders to be hosted with Netsolus. You decided to pull my units without my consent.


Of course, she doesn't write back. Terrible communication, and business practices! I don't recommend hosting with this company. They will won't replace what they claim is a faulty power cord in a timely fashion(I've lost close to 4.5 days of mining on my devices), and now they ship my devices back without communicating with me beforehand to verify that they are carrying out orders that were issued by me.

Amy, the owner, listens to some email from BFL's office(I have no clue what BFL's office told Amy), and she interprets it to mean that I want ALL my units shipped back to me!  She never called or emailed me to verify that those were my wishes.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! Hosting with this company for a few bucks isn't worth the aggravation! You'll end up losing bitcoins, and suffer loss of income. They neglect your equipment, and then they handle your equipment for shipment with out your consent!

My miners are being hosted by Netsolus, and have been down for almost an hour and a half.  Anyone here also experiencing problems with Netsolus today?

If you are considering Bitminter, I'd say that it's a solid choice.  DrHaribo is a great pool operator.  Answers any questions, and he is patient.

Raspberry Pi for LTC mining?  I think not.  58XX make decent LTC miners.  I primarily mine with 7970 cards, because most of my rigs are 7970s.  It makes it convenient because I use a one command line for the cards and it works out.

The total network hashrate seems a little too high for a monday.  I was kind of expecting it to be in the high teens, or lower 20s.

Any idea why 2.9.7 seems to crash every 10 hours, while 2.9.6 ran just fine untouched for days?  I'm on my normally w7, 4x7970 set up.

Looks like a temporary weekend upsurge in total network hashrate.  More likely, than not, it'll go back to upper teens by Monday.
