Has anyone gotten shares from bitfunder transferred to crypto-trade this week? mine should have been moved, last i heard they will hopefully "show up" in the final transfer, whenever that is..

since my post was deleted because i quoted a person that was once one of ActM's greatest supporters here is my response again. he was claiming that a lot of the boards are coming DOA.
i really dont think the boards are DOA. in my experience the design sucks ass and it is VERY difficult to get the cooling attached properly in order to run them at the promised hashrate (specifically speaking about the 750gh Gold Rush boards right now as i have no experience with the prospector). I have 2 boards, and the 2 different water coolers i have tried (H100 and H80i) both did/can not make close/secure enough contact with the chip using the mounting items included (along with the #8-32 nuts that i had to go purchase myself (ridiculous...)) in order to dissipate heat properly. so i have them underclocked right now running at only about 450gh per board. if i remove all mounts and place the water cooler on there by hand and hold it in place i am able to run it at promised spec. i'm sure if i spent a bunch of time trying to come up with my own rigged-up mount to get the water cooler on there properly i could get the promised 750gh per board. problem is i dont have a bunch of time to try and make something work, and if a veteran of close to 30 yrs in the IT/hardware field is having a tough time i doubt this is an isolated occurrence. until Ken either provides custom mounting equipment or a different solution for cooling i fear this will be the experience for anyone purchasing these boards.
on a side note, i suspect this may have been hashfast's biggest issue with releasing their product...
I REALLY think this needs to be addressed. these are decent products, but ONLY if you can keep them cool and hashing (which proves to be the hard part)

I also would like this addressed. You raise very valid points that if taken seriously could increase user-friendliness and sales.

guys what happened to our hashrate?

Very odd behavior. I don't believe we've seen a drop this far and for so long without Ken adding more hashrate. Maybe a DC migration is in the works?
Or everyone is sleeping.
It would depend on the setup. There should be a number of alarms that go off in the event of a DC power outage (HVAC, Fire Supp. UPS should all be sending e-mails/SMS). Also, the west coast isn't asleep anymore and we're still down. Whatever it is it's taking a while... Hoping for the "not disaster" option.
Most likely a breaker tripped...
And we are back online.

It has to be an EMP bomb. There can be no other explanation.
When a power outage occurs in the Washington DC area it is usually restored in less than two hours. During thunderstorms, ice storms, hurricanes, high winds and extreme heat, the power delivery system can be strained, causing more severe and longer lasting power outages. Power outages can also result from construction damage and car crashes. The power companies want individuals to report outages so that they can identify the problems and restore power as quick as possible.

it is not the first time the hashrate become 0. u think it is the third time
May 22, 2014, 08:35:40 AM
Ya Dc is on west coast, west coast is sleeping - seems much more likely the power is down than anything else

I know Ken is a bad communicator and I really have no clue what way this is going to go.
However, I have for the past few months only looked at Kens posts which I have bookmarked. No listening to people complaining or speculating. It really does help if you just take what he says on face value. Yes he misses deadlines, but as Zum said above - We are trading, have miners and mining. BTC is going up.
Ken needs to sort out the website and advertise better, no doubt. But maybe he really is working hard on closing some sort of deal.
It will only take a slight bit of good news for me to break even now. So that's nice.
