Jeff, you sure do spend a lot time in the gambling section. Couldn't help but notice your bitcoin wallet address is directly connected to the one that paid you that 0.15 BTC last year.
The way you pump up certain sites of yours, but diss others is almost akin to those fake BFL sites that stole bitcoins from folks thinkin' that they were ordering from BFL's official site, albeit the URLs were slightly skewed.
Feel free to fuck with my "so isolated" ass some more, whereupon each time I'll stick it up BFL's ass ten-fold.
Gleb, you sure do love talking to yourself. Honestly, you should probably committ yourself to a psych ward, you need help.

What do you expect from a liar who passed tens of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins from mined bitcoins via EclipseMS to Pirate's Ponzi scheme, then days later calls a person who dealt with Trendon Shavers a criminal for dealing with a criminal while having his wife's kids play with his tail?

Block 232352 should be fixed now. Not sure why it got suck... high transaction volume I think.
Anyway, with regards to SD, I disabled it awhile ago to fix some issues with block propagation and then never re-enabled it. I don't have anything in particular against SD and I'll get it re-enabled again when I get some time.

Hi Inaba,
It looks like you are doing a great job running this mining pool. I was just wondering what would happen if you got ill--do you have any assistant or any backup plan for how the pool would be managed if you couldn't do it yourself?

Amazing, how those ten miners given to Josh Zerlan for compensation turned into $800,000+ USD worth of BTC prior to the raid, then Josh moved a big chunk of them bitcoins after giving his deposition.
"Nooooooo! Please, not the Clawback Bear!"
Lawyer: Mr. Zerlan, please explain to the court why you lied about owning EMC when in fact BFL owned it at the time.
Josh: I didn't lie! All the thousands of miners that mined using EMC were fully aware that BFL owned EMC and not I. In fact, if they were here in this courtroom, they would all tell you such. But, they can't. That's right! Because they're not here. Next question, and please try not to make it as stupid as your last question.

Yeah, sorry for getting people excited. One of the servers had a problem and shares got backed up on the rest of the servers. It did not affect mining, but when the website was able to reconnect, it processed all the backlogged shares, which shows up as a super hashrate.
I just acquired new hardware for US1 which I will be configuring this weekend. US1 is up and running fine, but really needs a reload, so I'll be working on that and swapping out US1 sometime next week.

Wood Law is gonna have a blast with this cocksucker, Josh Zerlan, on the stand (since he's not a named defendant, just an employee with a title attached to a weather vane).
At this point in time, Josh Zerlan DOES NOT own EMC. BFL does. Yet, Josh posts as if it's his.
Further...

Did you catch what I'm implying? Need it spelled out? Okay!
N.A.M.E.C.O.I.N.
From October 26, 2012, to the present, BFL owned EMC. NOT JOSH ZERLAN!
EMC was not just a pool to mine BTC, but also NMC (Namecoin).
Namecoin (NMC) is a virtual currency.
Josh Zerlan declared under oath that he didn't know if BFL held other virtual currencies.
Fees via NMC were paid to BFL after 10/26/12 via EMC due to the mining of NMC.
BFL_Engineer is Nasser Ghoseiri, one of BFL's founders and part owner, thus would know what he does or doesn't own.
Nowhere on any of the court documents is Namecoin mentioned, yet EMC mined them while BFL owned the company, and fees were paid to BFL via NMC, facts which Josh and Nasser were well aware of, but Josh Zerlan opted to lie under oath - AGAIN - via declaring he had no knowledge of BFL ever having any other virtual currencies.
This fucker would look his mother in her eyes and tell her that he's not her son. Okay, maybe that example doesn't work, but you get my drift.
#AskLEO
"Color me confused shades of gray, but how could Sonny Vleisides' BFL mine a virtual currency named Namecoin via their EclipseMC when Josh Zerlan swore under oath that BFL never held any virtual currencies? Can we approach the bench to see what wood species your hammer is made of, your Honor?"
Dwolla is proving to be a major pain in the ass to deal with. Dwolla has what's called a "facilitator fee," which is similar to the $0.25 fee Dwolla charges for each transaction over $10. Going forward, that fee will be passed along the transaction at 2.5% of the transaction total (Almost half what the Paypal fee was!).
Right now, I am losing money on nearly every transaction to Dwolla, either in actual funds or in time/effort to maintain. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to be independently wealthy, I can't afford to fund it on my own!
So starting on Monday, you'll see the facilitator fee passed along to your Dwolla transaction in addition to the $0.25 Dwolla charges if the transfer is over $10. If the transaction is under $10, the Dwolla fee is waived but you'll still see the facilitator fee, unfortunately.

More proof that this fucker had nothing prior to his position, whatever the fuck it was on any given day, at BFL, then later have the ability to spend ~$1M USD via BTC of his customers' money for a home, cars, etc., with now BFL still processing $10M or so in refunds, moneys they either no longer have and is hidden.
No, not currently. But you also don't pay any fees to mine here, so you come out WAYYY ahead, as the block fees amount to less than 1%. So it's effectively a less than 1% fee to mine on EMC, whereas it's 2%, 3% or even more to mine elsewhere on many pools that pay transactions fees. The transaction fees are one of the reasons I can keep the pool at 0% fee to mine here AND offer all the of the features that EMC has.
EMC is being upgraded as we speak, BTW. I haven't mentioned it yet, because I don't have anything I want to show just yet, but there's a lot of changes coming in the near-to-mid term future. I think people are going to be surprised and pleased.

In mid-2014, we learnt that Josh Zerlan didn't even own EMC, but nobody was the wiser till the court docs were released. I wonder what else we'll learn from future court docs pertaining to Josh Zerlan. Side lovers testifying perhaps?

thats a good idea i'll do that to 10 %:)
+1 for 10% here! C'mon ppl, Inaba has really been unwearying in getting Eclipse working day by day by day... He really deserves our help when things don't go as planned.
As about the 27 years guy, I am pretty sad, I saw his name in top miners list, I even commented in a personal message while I was trying to contact pool owner that most likely this new guys come only to drain the pool wallet. I am quite sorry I didnt push the cash out twice to save more coins, but I was afraid it will be misinterpreted. After I saw coins actually leaving I quickly realized that they may be real coins flying away.
27 years old is a great age when people learn good lessons, maybe this guy will understand that his decision today can help this project add some extra trust for the future, beyond immediate gain, a gesture which will turn back to him later as a personal gain.

Alright, I'll do 10% for the next month.
Let us know when you're back in the black chief.
So, Josh Zerlan cried about losing ~1000 BTC, then EMC's miners came to his rescue, then Josh sold EMC to BFL and never told any of the people who were kind enough to help him out while in dire straits. But, while others were donating to Josh to help him in his time of need, he was investing in Pirate's Ponzi scheme. Those donations continued to pour in when Josh was no longer the owner of EMC. Pissed yet?
Ironically, Josh Zerlan accused me of stealing from Bitcoin100 when in fact I never had control of a single satoshi. Only Rassah and Roger Ver have control of the funds, the latter ONLY in case something happens to Rassah. The day Josh accused me of such, within 24 hours I left Bitcoin100, the first Bitcoin-theme charity that I founded so that it doesn't get tarnished in any way due to Josh's smackdown. That fuckin' hurt me, but knew it was the right thing to do.
THAT IS WHY I WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT JOSH ZERLAN LOSES EVERY MOTHERFUCKIN' THING HE GAINED WHILE BEING EMPLOYED BY BFL, as well as providing evidence to discredit BFL.
When I get done with that fucker, Josh Zerlan won't have a pot to piss it, including if his new home is at Satoshi Forest sleeping on the ground like the animal he is.

I assume that this was a pool that I was mining at (but that is a guess).
If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.

EDIT in the following nugget...
But first, try not to laugh too hard at the following chain of events:
Well guys... this is the first major bug in EMC's history. It took over a year, but indeed there was a bug that has completely drained the hot wallet...
I believe I have located the bug and eliminated it... but for the past ~7 hours the pool has been incrementing wallet balances on the same blocks over and over, so people had huge balances and some people have withdrawn the funds.
If any one who has received erroneous funds would be so kind as to return it, I would appreciate it. It all comes out of my pocket and I run this pool at break even on the best of days, and if I'm out over 1000 BTC, it's a bit of a problem.
If you received erroneous fund and are kind enough to return them, I would appreciate it. You can send them to this BTC address: 1hK7oeDzHTYwSG2BXhfzaucJXenHfTTkL
I am currently working on fixing the resulting fall out, but I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on.

I just finished correcting the bug - I definitely was able to identify it and it was located in some code that dealt with really really short blocks, so it didn't get tested much. The test suite I had run on it did not include a very specific set of variables that would trigger the bug. Ugh...
I am very sorry guys. Payouts should not be affected at all, and block processing should return to normal now. There is about 4 million shares backed up in the database, so it's going to take several hours at least to work through them and get them credited properly. No shares are lost since the bug started, but the stats won't show up in your account for several hours. The pool stats are probably going to go wonky now that processing has started again as well.
I had to roll back the user accounts about 8 hours give or take a couple hours... so any payouts you did during that time are gone. Really, this only means you either received funds that are not accounted for, or any payouts you initiated that did not complete are also gone. So basically, some people ended up with a lot more BTC than they should have.
I would like to thank beekeeper for returning 97.7 BTC so far. That helps! I am kind of sick at losing over 1000 BTC to a bug like this, I thought I had the code tested properly, but apparently I missed that one spot. It was some newer code that I had put in a couple months ago, which is why it's only cropping up just now. I normally keep the hot wallet a little lighter than 1000 BTC, but I had let it get a bit fatter than usual while I've been traveling... Well, it's thin now!
So again, I would kindly request that anyone who has received extra funds erroneously return them to: 1hK7oeDzHTYwSG2BXhfzaucJXenHfTTkL
Obviously, I can't force anyone to do that. I will be looking through the accounts and seeing who got paid what that they shouldn't have and see if there's anything to be done about it... but I suspect a lot of the people who got illicit funds were on auto-pay, so when their balance suddenly went way positive, it just initiated auto-payouts and they didn't do anything explicitly on purpose. I know some people have, though... I see a lot of manual payouts happening in the timeframe that the bug was happening. So we'll see how many honest folks we have here!
Thanks for the understanding guys and I apologize again. Share processing is working and will be catching up as fast as it can.
