This probably interests no one but I'm now fairly certain now that Eric Corlew (CreativeX; the scammer behind bASIC mining) was an alias used by Brett Corlew. Brett and Eric Corlew are one in the same person. Eric was a known alias of Brett Corlew according to this reference: https://mugshots.com/search.html?q=%20Brett%20Michael%20Corlew.

Looking further into this, it looks like he was killed in a motorcycle accident a few months back. (https://www.woodtv.com/news/kent-county/1-dead-after-crash-in-cutlerville/) "...a 51-year-old Grand Rapids man, was killed. He was identified Friday as Brett Corlew." This matches up with his DOB.

bASIC mining was one of many scams perpetuated through the guis of mining operations early on in bitcoin's history. I would have loved to hear his side of the story, but sadly I don't think that will ever happen.

Also, is there a mobile wallet app in the works?

I figured it out.  Needed to update EthOS to claymore 10.  getting 357 Eth and 1030 LBC on 12 card rig.  I am good with that!!

Hi, I was getting ~30 for ETH solo per card, and it dropped to 27-28 when dual mining.

I'm not sure if there's a more recent thread for this, but the bASIC-Mining one was locked a few months back, (apparently by creativex himself). [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130982.2100]

I know it's been years, but this scam still intrigues me and would love it if we could come to some sort of conclusion or get a response from creativex. I know he was still active on these forums as late as May for posting and deleted some details in the original bASIC-mining thread more recently.

In the btt thread above, there's discussion on a Google group, (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/basic-mining), and some photos of what looks like, Eric's brother, Brett Corlew. I think this is Brett's facebook profile → https://www.facebook.com/brett.corlew.7 maybe he knows something more about Eric's whereabouts. Here's some more info on him & his criminal history → https://www.rapsheets.org/michigan/doc-prisoner/CORLEW_BRETT/781538.

In the obituary of Eric's mother, → http://obits.mlive.com/obituaries/grandrapids/obituary.aspx?pid=171725093 it states that she is survived by a few grandchildren, I wonder if they're the children of Eric's, Brett's, (or other siblings). One of them, Kyle Corlew, looks like he has a Facebook profile → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008674654405 and possibly also Brandon Corlew here → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011765444623.

Anyone else still interested in pursuing this or am I the only one?

Thanks for this, yours and others' posts helped me get mine working.
I'm mining LBRY and one thing that I found with suprnova is that the -dwal setting needed to be [usernameforsite].[workername] (without sq brackets) and -dpsw needed to [workerpassword]

Hope this helps someone else.

I hope one day we find this guy. bASIC-mining was a scam by creativex and he should pay for his crimes.

Hi Doog,

Are you going to be selling your website/code? Surely there would be willing bidders.

P.S. Thanks for the 3 btc profit over the last 9 months.

well considering the additional 1625 shares that were added for the extra rig was traded at close to .70 it might be worth buying a small amount back.

then the rig cost us virtually half!

then again, you're the brains.

What about bASIC buying back 1000 or so shares while the prices are low?

I pretty much creamed myself imaging what 10x 400Gh/s would feel like.

Wow, pardon me for diggin up such an old post but I'm curious what happened to this "pay bills with btc" idea.

Hi,

I'm interested in 2, no colour pref.

Based in Melbourne.

Hi, I'm not an expert but certainly not a newbie. I've got shares in asicminer (tat.) & bASICmining and have owned btc since feb '13.

One thing I was initially confused about was, after all BTC have been mined, whats the incentive for people to keep providing the network which validates the transactions? but transaction fee's will ultimately increase providing ongoing revenue to miners.

I'd like to request being whitelisted because I joined this forum to become a part of group buying for erupters and although I visit this site regularly for information and interesting opinions, I don't currently have the need to partake in the discussion for discussion sake.

Please whitelist me. :-)
