Not so sure, I have loads of anonymity things, Ghostery, Ad-Block, Anti-Adblock, and the like...

Simply going to www.coindesk.com, redirects to https://www.coindesk.com/wp-admin/install.php which is the root install link for Wordpress. I'll try another PC, or get on a different VPN. Maybe you're right, or have a cached version, but coindesk is on my list of tabs I open every time I open my browser, to check on stories and bitcoin price etc, so caught me off guard when I hit refresh. I saw the story on BTC-E on CryptoBlog, so jumped over to coindesk.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'll double check.

Heck, maybe it's solved already...

Got it, it might not be hacked, maybe crashed and lost configuration somehow. But FUBAR'D nonetheless.

Coindesk hacked?

I went to www.coindesk.com and got prompted to finish a Wordpress site install...

Something seems wrong with that to me.

God man, I haven't used IRC in like, 15 years...

I'll try with the command line option ;-)

F:\cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-20140204>cgminer --btc-address S3U5mUeErWcatHauEP4MBAzkweHXMJoRah
 [22:30:09] Log date is now 2017-07-10
 [22:30:09] cgminer: --btc-address: unrecognized option
 
(I have everything else in cgminer.conf)

I'll keep playing with it.

I also tried with normal cgminer 3.7.2...

cgminer -o http://localhost:9561 -u XXXXX -p x

Yields:

[2017-07-10 22:38:24] Started cgminer 3.7.2

 [2017-07-10 22:38:24] Started cgminer 3.7.2
 [2017-07-10 22:38:26] Probing for an alive pool
 [2017-07-10 22:38:27] Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid

I've been mining for over 7 years now ;-) plus 30 years in IT. Maybe there is something wrong with listener? Does anyone else have these issues solo mining with new wallet? Does it work for anyone else? I'm starting to feel inadequate...

I may switch to Linux box and see if I can get it working there.

This is giving a guy a complex...

Sorry, still no joy. Has the listener function been enabled in the new client?

daemon=1
listen=1
server=1
rpcuser=XXXXX
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=192.168.1.0/24
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.90
rpcport=9561
addnode=dnsseed.sexcoin.info
addnode=dnsseed.lavajumper.com
addnode=74.208.174.17
addnode=66.172.10.97


Using CGMINER 3.7.2

{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "192.168.1.90:9561",
      "user" : "XXXXX",
      "pass" : "x"
   },

Says pool dead, unable to connect, even on same host as wallet, with no firewall or AV running.

Still, no joy. That's ok, I'll stick with p2pool for now.

I don't keep coins in exchange, never have never will personally, except when I actually want to use them to exchange... When I asked for my coins to be sent out back to my personal wallet/offline wallet, it got hung up on withdrawal, saying Transaction pending from cold storage, after 14 days now I'd expect it actually be moved.

That is what is not right, and really screwed up.

So I will keep bashing YoBit until they fix their sexcoin wallet and pay me out what I withdrew from Exchange.

If you cannot deposit, exchange, and then expect to withdraw from that exchange AFTER you've traded, then yes, they deserve bashing and shaming and all the rest.


And, no joy setting server=1, it just won't solo mine to new wallet ;( Huh

Also, I cannot get the new wallet to listen for connections no matter the settings. I am running on Windows. I have tried disabling the firewall, changing ports, but no joy.

Any suggestions?

sexcoin.conf settings I am using.

daemon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP (no not really)
rpcpassword=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP (no not really)
rpcallowip=192.168.1.0/24
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9560
addnode=dnsseed.sexcoin.info
addnode=dnsseed.lavajumper.com
addnode=74.208.174.17
addnode=66.172.10.97

And CGminer.conf starts with:

{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "127.0.0.1:9560",
      "user" : "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP (no not really)",
      "pass" : "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP (no not really)"
   },
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://lavapit.lavajumper.com:6969",
      "user" : "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP (no not really)",
      "pass" : "x"
   },
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://p2pool.e-pool.net:5760",
      "user" : "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP (no not really)",
      "pass" : "x"
   }
]

I have it set to balance, and with old wallet, it mined on all three, and I got solo mining hits every so often on wallet, but with new one, i get Enabled Dead Pool for my wallet...

Any clues? Revert for mining only?

REPOST:

YoBit's wallet is still frozen. I have left multiple tickets and messages. I am beginning to get the feeling they may be getting ready to delist, but this is only because I have not heard a thing from them. Anyone heard anything at all?



They better free up transactions and send out coins before they delist! My withdrawal is now stuck for 13 days...

I have been bad mouthing them everywhere I can, on Twitter, Facebook, even on LinkedIn... Direct, indirect, etc. They need to get off their 'F'n asses.

8 days now waiting on withdrawal of SXC, stuck 'transferring from cold storage' though transfer in was fast, taking way too long to get out. I'd caution everyone to avoid this exchange.

Tickets submitted, I cannot do anything more other than warn folks away.

 Huh

8 Days waiting for simple coin withdrawal - SXC. i know the coin just had a new client released, but there is no reason to delay withdrawals, as the coin itself hasn't changed.

And what'd up with 'transferring from cold storage'? I was trading the coin minutes before, and now I cannot either trade nor withdraw.

I have opened a number of support tickets.

Does anyone know where they are located, under what jurisdiction?

LOL I solo mined a block tonight, 12.5 SXC woohoo ;-) Won the lottery. Too bad it wasn't BTC...

20 confirmations so far, waiting on 70 more, hopefully this means it is a REAL block, and won't get hung up.

Oh, and I'm not worried about payouts, my tiny GH/s isn't generating much, probably .05 per day or some tiny fraction (TaE)

But if anyone has coins they want to get rid of, as one of the early miners, I'll take em back ;-)

Donations to - S3mXhzHZtqmMQPezCuujeWuxHaf1MPyTaE

These were the days, solo mining, getting 100 SXC per round, and sometimes getting the 5x bonus:

Thank you for the welcome Lava. I was actually surprised to see myself on the top 100 for Sexcoin... I remember the days when we'd get 5k-10k a week on GPUs... ahh, woulda coulda shoulda, i should have industrialized mining way back in 2010-2014...

I actually recently found my cold_storage sexcoin wallet, and my original mining wallet, backed up to Dropbox, but deleted long ago. Fortunately, I paid for the FOREVER restore, and got them back.

800k coins recovered.

But I wonder what happened to some of the HUGE accounts on the top 100, someone, somewhere, has 12 million. I wonder if that's possibly someplace like cryptsy or other lost exhanges that no one went back and recovered. Too bad, last trades from the top 2 biggest holders, was back in early 2015.

Waiting on mining output from lavapit.lavajumper.com, has been 2 days, no payouts, blocks found. Is it on the wrong chain?

Also, I see new code is out for Linux, eta for Windows? Still possible to GPU mine with cgminer 3.7.2?

Don't forget fee... On top of Founders Reward, with Claymire's, so now you're losing 12.5% of every KWH, so if it doesn't perform that much better than the new builds that strip out founders rewards too, once USERS/Miners and pools get the message and fork to remove the potential billion dollar windfall and migrate over I'd think it over...

This has turned over from open-source to leech-source coding. No better than choosing Windows over Linux... and Still, you can get a really really kick-ass OS and Desktop for FREE, and can skip the FEE paid Windows. Huh

We need to get ZEC folks off suprnova and onto another mining pool that has accepted the fork/merge code request...

Already, not worth mining with drop in Bitcoin and Zec exchange rates vs bulk cheap spot-pricing for AWS compute and GPU mining. Use look at profit calculators... These fees strip out the profits, and even buying compute at 4 cents per hour no longer covers the costs... nor GPU at 26 cents per hour, forget mining contracts, they take even more profits.

I automated the profit calc, taking into account spot prices for those, and automatically turn on and turn off miners based on final, in pocket profits (I don't account for speculation that the price will increase or decrease, that's up to you) and right now, all my groups are OFF, and will remain so as long as BTC is less than $720 and Zec-BTC is less than 1.3 to 1.

Do the math yourself, carefully...... mining return is already negative, so its either you solo mine and hope to hit a block (might as well stick to BTC for that) or invest in a CD, it has greater ROI right now...

And that's only less than 10 days past release... ETH is better to mine, and doesn't have founders fee.

Yeah Yeah, I get the whole ZEC is a great thing argument, but on the whole, it doesn't add up. No alt-coins really do. Not with new limits on Fiat Exchance. And if you're iin the US, you also have to factor in the risk of improperly reporting the profits either on your corporate or personal income taxes, and that saps your return even further depending upon your effecive tax rate, or rick acceptance to be arrested for Tax-Evasion...

All in all, ZEC not worth if, unless you simply do it for the hobby, then maybe, still cheaper than dinner and a movie out if your alone...

note: I made NO personal attacks, YMMV and these are only my opinions based on actual cash flow caclulations verified by a CPA...

Good luck!

Because no sane miner will mine a coin that they cannot use to pay the bills... Even if you keep some because you believe in it, I am NOT going to sponsor the interest rate of others who choose to hodl at the cost of my power. As soon as the rest of my pre-86000 coins mature, I'm dumping the lot. If someone wants 11k, you can also just send me the value in BTC, and I'll just email you my wallet.dat file... We can always trade wallets, if Devs maintain this idocy...
