I sent a netcoin tx a month ago or so, never appeared. check on the block chain that it was valid and processed, made 2 tickets, never heard a word back. So bye-bye coins-e, bye-bye coinex, hello again cryptsy (sigh). Im just mining litecoins now until gpu mining becomes obsolete, and which point I will network my computers to have lan-parties for Quake and Doom 3-D  

should also mention that a day or so later heard news about a possible fork in the netcoin chain. I really stopped caring after that because it seems no-one is able to withdraw anyways, so take my 200 some netcoins and enjoy them, karma's a bitch!

I just do not have the time to watch these forums, I just knew that coinex was down, I tried my best remove all coinex pools from my configs, and hoped for the best. Seemed like they were down for like a week, talking about on twitter about some BS coin insurance company which i didnt pay much attention to. Read about withdraws being stopped last night, verified it, and it would seem another one bits the dust. I imagine during this time is was a damage assessment to figure out what their best options at that point were. What is happening now seems to be the route they choose to take, not unlike a lot of markets/exchanges that get burned. I thought cryptsy would implode before coinex, but I guess BigVern knows the importance of security more so than Erundook.

I don't know much about the admins erundook and captainfuckhole, but they are outside the US correct?

They better sell off those coins to change their identities, cause there's gonna be a lotta upset people who lost a lot of coins. I thankfully stopped keeping anything more than change on any exchange, which killed any trading I would have like to of done; I've been burned too many times, but i must admit i did trust coinex more than others. Anyone else think this is a coincidence to the "mega" asic scrypts coming out? I believe that scrypt will die as a result of these, since scrypt was created to avoid asic development. My best hope is a scrypt-n or another will replace so I can continue my hobby and at least make some kinda of profit for my work. I bought one of those gridseed miners just out of curiosity, mines like a 5000 or 6000 series card, but with only 10W, and also only valuable while scrypt is still valuable. But I swear either the re-seller or gridseed used prior to selling because what I thought was going to be new had that thin dust film along the fan blades, and on the internals, the exposed sections of thermal pads had clumps of dust. Even called the reseller and he assured me it was straight from gridseed, but like coinex, who can you really ever trust when I comes to money. Works fine so the past 5 days, but regardless, any legit business would do a full disclosure of what you purchasing. Anyways, my morning coffee ramblings about the disappointing coinex news last night, but didnt lose any sleep over it, so I win  

it wouldn't accept my TFA, tried like 4 times... im not that drunk.. yet at least

yep, it sure is looking that way, dammit. another one takes the shady route. steal from customers to recover their loses because they cannot handle a secure site.

my GDS is hashing at 380khs, 900 mhz freq, 9,853 accepted shares, 2859 hw errors, elapsed time-14h, utility - 11.77/m

i will say the one I bought elsewhere was used, not hard to tell when dust builds up in all the expected places too :-/

Very interesting, and yes there are so many variables driving the prices I usually only profit from pure luck, which isn't very good for any investor, which is why I work 9-5, and then stay up all night to play with my miners . I would consider an investment in this if I thought it would be possible, but considering the specs for the new asics coming out I feel scrypt will lose its value since it was designed specifically to avoid ASIC's which allows regular individuals to continue their gpu mining adventures and also play the matket  game.

Their first site was shady looking, and I always thought they would be a scam, but thanks to cryptsy having all those issues back in the day I tried them out. I thought the notifications between cryptsy and coins-e looked oddly familiar, wonder if their related somehow... hmm. I dunno, cryptos has pretty much made me the paper wallet only kinda guy.

Can't believe this thread is still open - everyone's coins are gone by now, i had like 50K or something like that. First pool to have ever scammed me, taught me a well deserved lesson 

I just got my solo 5-chip gridseed in yesterday, and being the elec engineer that I am, I thoroughly inspected it and couldn't help but take it apart for inspection. I can tell you that it has been used, for how long I don't know, but it was longer than a simple functional test should be. I could write my name in the layer of dust in and around the fan. took it apart and you can see the accumulation of dust adhered to the thermal padding extruding from actual heatsink area. I cleaned it well and replaced the the thermals with some that I know have a high thermal conductivity. I don't know much about gridseed itself, but I ordered from hash-master.com and it came with no documentation at all. I wasn't going to pay for all the extras (like the PS) since I have a slew of multi-sized dc jacks i can use on my own for free. But with the lack of documentation, I had to disassemble in order to make sure it is the common center positive connector, or if it had a bridge where it polarities would really matter (it did not btw).

My main concern is that these units might have been for some amount of time before reselling them to maximize their profits .I assumed it was new, as the "used" word was never mentioned anywhere on their sales website. I tried calling but the mailbox was full, but he did try a call back later which I missed, called again and haven't heard from him sense. Guess I'm pissed cause I didn't think of buying the hyped asics bulk, and then reselling the used ones before the super asics become available. Not sure what the costs were back then, but I paid around 190 for mine. Full disclosure would have been the most ethical business pratices IMO, but this is after all, surrounding cryptos, which has many unethical people.

All in all it seems good once you setup the drivers correctly and find compatible mining software. Good for now I mean, when the super asics come out my biggest use for these would be to reuse the fan and or heatsink for something else, like paper weights. Knew this ahead of time, but its my hobby and I was curious about these lil guys. Took a buncha pics if anyone cares to see them disassembled up close.

DOA failures could be due to poor assembly houses building these boards, as I found a few solder balls hanging out too close for comfort to the asic chip itself, and then the fan connections are hand soldered and were very close to being shorted out. I have many closeup pics if anyone cares to see them...

damn man chill out... CoinEx ranks #2 in my list of trusted exchanges - McxNow is #1 (for now at least). But even with mcx i wouldn't keep any considerable amount there because I don't have the private keys so if something happens and I lost login access, I essentially have lost my coins. Understandably some people have coins locked up in CoinEx,  and it's frustrating as hell, I know that because it happened to me last time, but either blame yourself for keeping large balances on any exchange as they are all being attacked daily, or blame the hacks for being the thieves attempting to steal from you and I, and CoinEx. When you deopsit into any address without the private keys you are the one risking your money to try and make a profit. So unless CoinEx runs off with no returns I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Looks like everyone is trying to rid themselves of their GPU mining rigs before it losses most all it's value. Just months ago I was hard-pressed to find just a 7900 series card without the 150% markups, now peeps are trying to disposes of their entire rigs while they still have some value left in them. I know my earningng have gone done at least 60% in the past 30 days.

I moved over to coins-e a couple months ago because craptsy was taking days to confirm some of my deposits, no issues back then. I eventually stopped using the site because I hated the outrageous withdraw fees, but recently been trying my luck on multi-pools and tried a netcoin deposit on coins-e like 5 days ago, account still is empty and they're not acknowledging the tx id for the deposit. Sent in a ticket, got an email saying I get a response in 24 hours - 3 days later no response. Sent in another ticket last night, not expecting a response for that one anytime soon either. Either they're overloaded with support tickets and understaffed or they're just another scam story. Either way I probably wont be going back because if they truly gave a crap about their business they would give some kind of explanation of what the issue is, which even cryptsy did when they were having issues. Thankfully I didn't trust them from the get go, so I never really left any balance there, so at most I stand to lose my 250 netcoin deposit that never showed. Makes me love mcxnow just that much more 

I bet it was never his intention to release the funds once he stopped the payouts. It actually makes sense now why the payouts have always been kind of slow, so when the payouts stop all together it doesn't raise any alarms for a while. I know it fooled me and I continued to mine there for another 18-20 hours before I decided to permanently delete scryptpools from every config file I could find on my pc.

What do you expect when people spend their time and money mining in a pool only to find their coins to be unavailable for withdraw. If Phonetic was the victim of a hacker, then I could be understanding of the current situation, but he has said nothing at all for days which speaks volumes to me. I assume my coins are gone, and I blame myself for continuing to trust the pool when it had so many issues. I should have moved pools as soon as my payouts stopped coming, but since the site has always been slow on payouts I put my faith in the pool and continued to mine. Even now there are still people mining, and that can only be attributed to being affiliated with the site or having eaten paint chips as a child. This will be the first time I've been burned by a pool, so I spent my 50k dodge on a lesson learned.



WTF?? If he runs with our coins, it's because he chose to do it, nothing more. It is a decision that is ultimately and solely made by him. As someone mentioned on another thread, he is only morally obligated to fulfill the payouts, moral being the keyword. Morality and cryptocoins are usually never used together in the same sentence, and this would be just another example.

yeah i have about 50k sitting in there. I like doge, but with all the issues between this pool and craptsy, it is killing it for me.

So has anyone figured this out? I have this mobo and cannot for the life of me get any of the 1x slots to work. I can use all three 16x slots, but windows doesnt detect anything when i use the 1x slots...

Can anyone shed any light on what exactly is needed in order to use pci-e x1 adapter risers on a windows 7 x64 machine? My mobo is a MSI z77a-g45 and has 3 x16 slots and 4 x1 slots. According to the manual, a total of 6 of them should be available at any one time. I have successfully used all 3 x16 slots, but could never get windows to recognize the card when using a x1 riser. It seems like any time I try rearranging my setup to test the x1 riser, windows get all screwy and I wind up reinstalling the drivers to fix it. After a few times I gave up and put together a second rig for my other cards, but i still would like to figure this out.

I tried the x1 riser on another (older) mobo, and couldnt get it to work on there either. Tried jumping pins on the mobo slot but all it did was cause the fan to kick on high and the system still did not detect the card. I inspected the riser and used a voltmeter to check for short/open circuits, and it all checked out.

Has anyone else experienced these same issues using x1 risers?
