Topic: 120% PPS Opportunity. (Read 5561 times)

  I mined based on A1's homepage...  "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." — GWB

i had some 2000-3000 shares left... well atleast i got 3 payments

Yeah. I distinctly remember I had 205501 shares but seems like data recovery of database is still ongoing probably ?

Why would hacker delete database with payment info after he stole the BTCs ?

+1

it is getting implausible that they still havent found a block when you look at the hashes that site has had, he should have found several already.

nothing for 24+ hours - I am feeling hosed...

Yes, I was calling everyone a hopper cause I assumed a pool op would not pay out of pocket.  Nothing else makes sense.  

ABCproxyPool might be and still charges a fee.   Anyways if so, he is keeping the spread, which is brilliant  I just wanted the "fair payment" >100% miners to feel bad that they were hopping and I tried to prove it.  I don't think using a proxy should separate them from the fact.  Again, I hop and support Prop however I can, yes I mine charity...just not all the time.

It was publicized after the round started and I got in the teens on share count, whatever this "bad luck" erased whatever position I got in on.  Again, those who contracted at 120% return on their hash power got a good deal.  Ponzi was a bad example, hope you accept my apology on that.

So, my fear was you are are hopping to subsidize the PPS and thus never finding a block and my hash power was stolen to pay PPS (but you offered PPS after I got out?,) then I thought Ponzi.  But, I was total wrong. I'll kick a chair leg and call it even.

Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence

Lets see if he pays out. otherwise it was just another scam.

Had about 20k shares to be paid out too.  PM'd him yesterday and he responded saying he'd send it in the morning.

Once I noticed the website giving me a blank white page I moved my hashing elsewhere for the meantime hoping it'd be up and running again when I woke up.

Here's to hoping he gets it resolved or pays out the remaining shares at the least.  Was intending to stick around for the long run too.

Yeah - this isn't good 

these "hackings" have become easy scape goats.

WOW. I remember telling you to make sure that your security was 100% because Ozcoin and btcserv.net got hacked. Damn assholes hacking pools

I did submit about 205,501 shares and since you last paid me at 184 168 shares that means 21333 shares at rate of ( 60 / 1379647 = 0.000043489385328276 ) means a payment of 0.92775905 BTC.

Hopefully I can fix my mining router and resume mining.

Our system was hacked last night.  As soon as I can get the data payments will go out.

Nope mine is up, just read your emails bud

Site is down, Clipse one also.

Payments for request just sent out.

Eh, he's made 3 payments for me shortly after I PM'd him for them.

Good grammar or not, as long as he pays as promises I have no qualms with him.

Plenty of other pools with great grammar and design have gone belly up (for various reasons stated) costing users hundreds of BTC.

As long as you have him pay you out for your shares often I don't see the problem unless you got some massive mining setup where you can mine hundreds of BTC worth of shares a day that he can run off with.

Will be staying here for the time being until he tells me to get out. 

This is not true,  My goal here is to find the 1st block.  Everyone that hopped at the beggining left(including you) so I'm trying to build up the speed on the pool.  You make no sense because this is going to cost me way more then 20 btc and may cost me more then 50 btc to try and find the first block.  Please explain to me how this is a ponzi scheme. 

Ok, this pool became public after he and his friends hoped it and then give a huge reward for finding a block, while using your hashes to hop or contract out...you'll be getting paid via a Ponzi scheme...

Dude, I was a supporter in the beginning, now it looks like you are a scam-er and haven't thought of the exit plan yet...oh wait, close the pool before you find a block...like TNTmining. 

Just been paid 250.000 shares, 10.87 and some BTC.
There's nothing to loose

Promo still running come join us to find that first block.

I'm gonna give up the 20 BTC prize and move most of my miners to the PPS server.
This could get very expensive.

Are you able to send me 300,000 shares?

I think i'm gonna stay a bit longer

Goat already stated he buys low and sells high.

Yeah. IMHO that would be "cheating" your users Goat.

You pay them 115 and you get 120 so 5% profit for you.

But this is not any work you do at all. It is a public "buy low - sell high" so IMHO users can mine directly with a1bitcoinpool rather than give you that 5% for nothing

If you do "backstage" non-public deals that actually require work then IMHO that is totally OK with me and none of my business but getting 5% off them publicly like this is LOL.

This is not an attack on Goat. I actually like his morals and his transparency and charity stuff but this is . I spotted it as well but I wouldn't think anyone would jump. Guess I was wrong

Anyway, I don't think this will last once we solve that first block but hope I am wrong

No thanks Goat. 

Yoyo yooo

Hi Clipse

Cant stress this enough, there is a reason why miners get updated, if only all miners would follow updated software.

There is some issie with poclmb miner or gui miner's open cl.  That is probably your problem.  I had to switch to cgminer.  

I use cgminer, should i update anyway?

EDIT1: Wait, i will update one miner to see if it gets fixed

EDIT2: Woops, updated nothing and it's working now.
I use an old version of cgminer, 2.0.5, should i update it?

I was running it because when i tried the 2.08 version it was somewhat slower. But if it behaves like this i'll just update it.

Is your POCLBM up to date?  It broke a few days ago and if you don't update, it will do exactly what you describe.  I had about 4 GH/s basically sucking up power and not providing shares to my pool. 

Huh... all of a sudden it says my miners aren't providing shares, but they are woking full speed at your pool.
Please check it

Huh, I PM'd him but no response

Nice front end, i like it

Yeah. I hope we do find that block !

Please get it,  this round is horrible. 

Anice not Alice 

Just trying to get the 20 BTC premium!

Yes, received. Thank you for keeping your word !

Payment just sent,  Sorry was watching the game. 

OP has paid total of 184 168 shares !

14 648 + (94 193 - 14 648) + 89 975 = 184 168

In response to "jake262144" I would say that as long as he keeps his pool secure and his users paid I don't really care about his grammar or technical knowledge.

We all were noobs at those things at some point !

I was checking out an unread topic, believe me I was stunned when I saw those posts...
Being no programmer is one thing, being unable to get even your miner up and running would explain a lot of questions about this pool's history and - more importantly - its future.

It's not as if wasn't obvious you were new to Phoenix, that's the whole point: all one needs to do is read the help screen and specify the parameters...

I believe this to be a valid, if perhaps painful, criticism of your ability to run this pool.
Not by a single word did I imply you are dishonest.

If you read the pool's thread you would see clearly that I'm not a programmer.  I have a friend who helped me set it up and helping me run it.  He has programming experience.  Also on the phoenix miner issue,  I have been using GUI Miner"s open cl miner since I started mining and tried to switch to Phoenix miner but couldn't get optimal settings for my cards.  Man you must have no life, chasing my threads to find mistakes that I have made and point them out to everyone.  LOL.  You can ask anyone on this forum that I have done business with and they all can vouch for me as being honest and always have paid. 

I'd like to touch on another issue, an issue seriously affecting the pool op's credibility as far as I am concerned.

JackRabiit did a fairly good job pointing all the typos out but I can't get past these posts by a1coinpool in a GUIMiner topic:

Along with A1's other posts, this raises serious doubts about his tech credibility.
This is ludicrous: another (apparently half-baked) attempt at creating a pool by an individual unable to get his guiminer config right.
How am I to trust a guy apparently unable to figure out the easiest of miners?!?
Confidence level zero, exit stage left!

Paid as agreed.

14648 shares have been paid by OP.

Thanks ! 

Thanks for pointing those out. 

Sorry for this, But i have to drop my 2cents on your sidewalk...
Your FRONT PAGE, has errors in it.. How do you expect your Second pool to succeed if you got such Blatent errors/difficulties
^on the front page, Literally, It's not embolded, It's got the b /b tags beside it (wtf?)


I think needs to be cleaned up, Sentence should look more like:
Fast pool back end running PoolserverJ RC7's Local WorkMaker Engine
Personally i think the "10x faster work given" is just Total Bullcrap. But thats me, Someone who doesnt know what PoolserverJava RC7 is.

Another typo too, "Including it's Local WorkMaker Engine with gives work at up..."

I personally see this pool as a Majorly Half Assed attempt to "flip the gain money switch", But thats me, Someone who thinks the greed of mankind is greater than the good of humanity
But i could Easily be wrong, Since he is indeed PAYING people to mine With him (i say With instead of For because the "fee" is 0%)

I look at it this way, Why would this person create a SECOND pool (With half assed efforts) When his First pool Died.
He says that it failed due to a large amount of mistakes and inexperiance that "clearly showed"
It's all "clearly showing" Again, Showing that (IMO) he does not care for the Pool itself, He cares for the Pools' Income

Another thing...
How can you be Serious about starting a new pool, with stuff like your WebAddr itself being a fucking Joke?

One more thing,
You asked for criticism, So please, I dont want to see a bunch of trolls Bashing my speech with clubs because they think im being a prick, What im doing is Pointing out flaws, If you believe i am doing otherwise, Than go ahead and club me, But dont fucking do it over the fact that someone (me) is pointing out grammar errors, with (probable) errors in his own grammar.

His text is Front Page of a website, My text is just another post in a thread

He paid as agreed after I PM'ed him for payment.

Wish I had the PSU to get my 2nd 5970 up and running already...

Please make sure to pm me when you are ready to recieve payment.

Yes, please pm me if interested.

Is this still running ?

Can I join ?

Thanks !

sveetsnelda.     If you are interested in the PPS you have to pm me so I can send you the correct login information.  Unless you currently want to mine proportional for the 20btc block bonus.  Let me know please.

I'm going to beat the shit out of that misbehaving block. 

Directed a uh...  substantial amount of hashing power your way.  I apologize that I probably wont be able to say with the pool because I'm making more money currently by renting out the rigs.  If you're doing this to try and bring more miners to the pool, I will gladly leave so that they have a shot at the block.

Mining happily..

Payouts:
0.551707btc -confirmed
0.86337289btc -confimed
0.93389106 - confirmed

Ill publish later here total share amount..

It would be 50/1307728(current difficulty) *1.20 =.00004588 per share.

What you bean by 120%!?!?
How much you pay-per-share?

Help my pool find its first block.  My pool is stuck in a bad round and I'm looking for miners willing to get paid 120% PPS to help us get that first block.  Payouts will be once a day upon request unless I'm asleep.  PM Me for details and special account login.
