It's hard to believe that you actually fell for this BS.....

Do you seriously think that a pool can run at a 10% loss on everything they earn? How is that? All you know is what they claim they do - & what they claim is completely different to what they actually do, as has been clearly shown already. Ask yourself, how can a pool consistently over pay it's miners? Where is that payment coming from? Where is the proof that you are getting 10% more on every payment? Where are the stats that clearly show this 10% payment?

It's barely possible to run a pool at a profit under normal circumstances, ask any reputable pool dev, so to run a pool at a 10% loss is impossible unless a) they have more BTC than sense and want to give it away (like their S3's?  ), or b) It's BS.

Given their history - I'll go for b)

You.re so full of cr*p dogie.
Do you think everyone is stupid?
Do you think that everyone is a law breaking tax evader apart from you?
You are the only person here doing this, and you're doing it with stuff that was given to you for free! You're taking the p*ss mate, seriously.
Are you paying tax on what Bitmain are paying you for your biased reviews?

Stop thinking that you're superior to everyone & that the rules don't apply to you - they do. Most importantly - STOP TRYING TO RIP OFF THE AVERAGE MINER WITH TAX BULLSH*T!!!

Exactly my thoughts. If Bitmain don't want to show any stats or give details away, there must be a reason. Better to wait for the batch 1 guinea pigs to post the details when they get them, especially after what happened with the S4 

Thanks, but I don't want to buy something based on what a member "imagines" the answers are, it's a lot of money, so I'd like to know the facts about what I'm paying for. It seems strange that Bitmain don't just answer the questions being asked - it would surely help members decide weather to buy them or not.

I'd like to know this too - some info/answers would be nice......

LULZ at dogies crappy wrong answers......

This bitmain job is above you dogie, you should go back to copy/pasting guides, advertising scam pools & ripping off noobs for VAT in the sales thread.......

New user, registered today, one post - this one.

Oh dear - it is a very sad day when bitmain/dogie have resort to using fake accounts in a pathetic effort to make this piece of junk look good.....

Copy/pasting guides is bad enough bitmain/dogie, but this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel......

+100!!

And? Your point is?

Are you against forum members choosing what ever name they desire?

As a pool admin who is a proven liar & who deliberately uploads fake pictures, you are hardly in a position to dictate what names people use.

Concentrate on getting s0br to answer the questions, as is your job 

+1 to this!


I fail to see how someone who posts undeniable facts & figures, with quotes from pool admin showing proven lies & insults can possibly be called a clown. It is clear that s0br & his many aliases is NOT a man of his word, because if he was - all 31 S3's would have been shipped as promised & stated in the pool header. Why are people more upset about seeing the truth than they are about being lied to & conned? The truth hurts sometimes, but rejecting it with childish insults (which seem to be the norm on this pool thread) because it hurts can only be explained by Cognitive Dissonance or shill behavior.
I see by your post history that you yourself have been scammed on a couple of occasions in your short history here - so you of all people should maybe start looking a little deeper as to why that is, and start investigating things a little deeper like others have instead of rejecting & dismissing facts as fiction. It's all there in black & white in front of you, and a lot more besides.

To the admin/s of this scam pool: THE POOL HEADER DESCRIPTION IS A LIE & ALWAYS HAS BEEN - CHANGE IT!!

Yup, I'm out too. Not only for the reasons above, but also due to the spew of unanswered/ignored questions, lack of attendance/diligence by s0br, the lies by Phwner, as well as the ridiculous & childish remarks/picture posting by the numerous aliases/shills/sock puppets here - it's like being in a playground of 2 year olds at times.

I've given up on ever getting the S3, as everyone else here has too I think - what a complete con that was/is - the fact that it is still advertised in the header is just more shameless lies to add to the list. The tipping point for me was the thread here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=769417.0

Where it is made clear that this kind of manipulation can only be done on a pool using PPS (which BAN recently changed to - not from), and is also generally regarded as an unsustainable payment system in itself, let alone adding free hardware, bonuses & no Tx fees into the mix - it just doesn't add up. There are many other pools that not only pay better & on time, but also have an excellent support system in place where you get an answer either instantly or the same day - none of this ghash style "send us a support ticket" crap - I require completely open & transparent support. Nothing close to that exists here I'm afraid, quite the opposite in fact.

I'm done here.

Interesting, thanks. Is there any way to find out if a pool is using a modified stratum implementation, apart from asking the pool dev? I'd ask BAN myself, but they seem unable to answer even a basic question.......

BAN changed over to PPS, and there have been a constant stream of complaints from miners there (me included) about not getting paid the correct amount - possible connection? If PPS is so dangerous, why would a pool change over to it?

Look at those rental periods......no sign of internet problems there.  So, all that time we've been waiting for our payments, S3's, bonuses & back-payments - our honest friend s0br has been spending our earnings on rentals?........WTF!!

You should pay miners what you owe them & send the S3's you promised. Simple as that. No more skirting around the issues.......

@ ...Really? - I'll PM you - thanks 

OK. If you do not work for the pool, please don't speak for them. I want information from people who are running the pool. As far as I can tell, that would be s0br or ThePhwner, even though they both seem unable to answer anything - I would still prefer to get my answers from them. A BAN dev, not a BAN user.

@ aurel57 - do you also work for this pool?

Why are you so aggressive?  We only want what we were promised, that is what bought us here. Calling people names for asking normal questions is not fair.....we have waited for a long time with no contact at all.

After reading this thread I decided I should join as I'm more than a little concerned about weather I will receive my S3 also.

If BAN have posted these miners they should at least send us proof. Why don't they confirm anything? I'm beginning to think this is all a scam to get us here.....this is a crime!

BAN - post proof!!
