UNOE,
What is the amount that you lost? $1000 USD or how much?
I sent him a message demanding answers .. somehow I missed these posts. Do you have screenshots or any type of proof ?
At the time of his message he claimed only 0.5 BTC worth of 42 was missing. At the time 42 was 1200 so that would be 0.00041600 that was lost, but still on the backup (according to his story). I have a feeling it was more than that since I alone was missing about 0.00006500 (I mined that much in about 8 hours, because Diff was very low then) My auto payout never triggered. And I tried manually paying out minutes before the server went down this is how I know my balance. I have no other proof other than what I'm saying happen.
His server returned with all are accounts deleted and he said to make a new account.
I'm sure others where missing as much as me this is why I believe he probably owes about about 1 or 2 BTC (I do not know though how much total) I know I was only about 2% of the pools hash rate that night. I don't really want to be paid back unless he pays everyone back. I'm not putting this information out here like this to everyone's attention so he can pay me and then have me muzzled. I have seen at less 5 other people in this thread claiming to loose funds as well. And I'm sure plenty others that don't have accounts on this forum. I simple want him to pay everyone back with his restored backup. If he continues to dodge the question I just vote the pool is removed from the recommend list, that all I'm trying to accomplish here.
Okay fair enough. Anyone else missing money from pooljunkies, please speak up.
I will go back to see if I can find those posts but it would be easier for anyone else reporting similar claims to comment back now.
I initially mined from pooljunkies. I started a couple of hours after the release of the coin and mined for at least 4+ hours on this pool, if I remember correctly.
I signed back up with my original credentials after they announced their hacking issue, as they recommended people do so.
I waited a while (while doing further mining on dedicatedpool), hoping for further news.
After no further word (aside from a couple of vague updates), I sent a support message to pooljunkies from my new account. I received not a single reply, despite having sent that message days ago.
At this point, given their lack of communication, others experiences on this forum, and my mining experience with them, I have to put pooljunkies in the scam category. I am completely sympathetic to sysops when it comes to running a pool, so I don't levy a scam charge lightly - quite simply, absolutely nothing that pooljunkies has communicated with this forum makes me believe they are legitimate.
As of now, I absolutely consider them to be a scam or, at best, not forthcoming with regard to the original hack. I would love for them to explain themselves and make things right, and if they do so, I will retract my complaint. But, I don't expect this to happen.
