oztusk...0.005ish for 1 day, 2 S9's.  which is looking higher than the last 8 out of 10 days I've had on Antpool before jumping ship.  Their FPPS seems to have done the trick...Still no news from Antpool's support either...(tip o' the hat to kano re:"...a pool that will help you out..."

Yesss....well...that's why I said thank you for the people telling me to change and that I am trying the other pools as we speak...but still, thank you for breaking down the numbers.  Sometimes nothing feels so good as walking away...and with that...

Thank you folks for the chorus of "change".  Trying BTC.com the last 20 or so hours...taking Slush and Kano for a spin next. 

Just to confirm, dead here too since yesterday.  Tried all 3 ports listed for Antpool and no good.  Showing "Socket connect failed: Connection refused" here but I can mine on other pools just fine.  3 emails in to 3 different addresses at Bitmain and only an autoreply saying volume is high and it might take a while.

FWIW, I just went through the unconfirmed transactions part of this conundrum myself.  

MBHD 0.5.1 Wallet was suddenly showing the proper amount of coins in the wallet, but some unconfirmed instead of all confirmed.  I tried "repair wallet" and "restore wallet" from wallet words 20+ times and never hit it right.  Although sometimes I got fairly high confirmed amounts which I backed up immediately.  

Then I read about someone having success d/l'ing Multibit HD 0.1.1., not sure it matters but make sure you are using the x64 version if you're running an x64 OS.  I installed it on another machine, using it to "restore wallet" from wallet words and after two repairs, I had all coins confirmed.  I also opened task manager (windows here) and shut down as much as i could to give it a wide road to do it's thing.

After that, I copied the wallet files from the wallet folder on 0.1.1 installation (should be the same folder name since the wallet is from the same wallet words[At least that's how it went for me]):

-mbhd.checkpoints
-mbhd.spvchain
-mbhd.yaml
-mbhd.wallet.aes

...into the 0.5.1 machine and all is well so far.  Have transferred BTC in, but nothing out yet and obviously am backing up every time I open MBHD.

Keep beer handy and good luck.

***You know what....I think when I read multiunit 1.1 in your backstory i thought it was something else but now I think you meant multibit HD 0.1.1......this is what happens when you drink the beer first and then do the typing!  In any case....it did end up working for me in short order compared to trying to do anything in MBHD 0.5.1. and since I've ruined the world already, I might as well go back to drinking....you can keep the good luck!

I just wanted to finish this up...bought BTC and got all moved out.  If anyone else has recent horror stories with CBX, I'd be interested in hearing about them...not sure what happened "all of a sudden" and still a bit unnerved.  In any case, thanks all!

Edward,

The site is coming up fine here?  Just wanted to add, I thought I better try something so I bought some BTC with my fiat that suddenly can't be cashed out, and was able to xfer it out to wallet.  At least breathing again somewhat normally now.  Will update as changes occur.

Thanks to all.

Cj,

Thanks for the quick response.  They've been good for years....even had a reply from the "owner" less than 1 year ago.  I suppose if worse comes to worst I can buy BTC with the $$$ and get them out but I was seeing if anyone could chime in here with similar responses from them or advice.  I'll keep the board posted.

Thanks again!

Edward,

Site link is: https://campbx.com/
source is a Kayako ticket I placed with them yesterday so...don't really have a link.  Could do a screencap I guess.  I've emailed the "owner" about an hour ago and hopefully will hear something but....well...we all know how that can go.

Quote from CampBX:

"We only support Bitcoin withdrawals at present due to changes in regulatory and banking restrictions. BTC withdrawals are available as normal, so we encourage you to withdraw the BTC."

...yet you can still make a check request on their site?

Anyone?
