Frankly, I think Nefario's claim is a joke at best with nothing to back it up other than a coincidence.

While on the topic though, would it be possible to have the option to LOCK one's GPUMAX payout address in their control panel so that it can not be changed ?

My BTCGuild account has permanent payout addresses and people can login to it all they want, as the worst they can do is mine for me and make me more BTC...LOL

Until someone changes the backup pool and then sets your clients to mine offline only. Then you're mining for them.

Personally, I would like the option to not have a backup pool on GPUMax. I prefer to handle my backup pools locally, I would rather that GPUMax just stop sending work when it isn't leased. That would let the "Lock Payout Address" option be secure also.

The problem with no backup pool is... miners don't come back so pricing would bounce around like crazy.

He means that the hacker would change the GPUMAX backup pool. Your shares are sent to backup pool of your choosing when they are not leased (= no public work).

I vote for payout lock.

How would they do that through a compromised BTCGuild account?

Notice

As a few of you have probably seen there's been a post by Nefario (GLBSE Owner) with concerns about GPUMAX allegedly being compromised.
You can read it here > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-suspect-gpumax-was-compromised-and-passwords-stolen-84893

At no time has our system ever been compromised. There's no way for anyone to access passwords on our system.

We take the security of our system seriously, protecting our entire network with multiple layers of security including behavioral based monitoring with hashed and salted passwords using Bcrypt.

In the event of such a breech we would notify our users directly (by email), on the forums and in our IRC channel.

We can't say this enough, accounts are only as safe as it's weakest link and in most cases it's the users lack of password practices that ends up being that link. PLEASE use unique passwords for everything you do.

Stay safe out there.

do they only pay out certain days of the week or something? been there three days now and no payout as of yet, and i have my address set up and all that.

They go out (most) everyday. In #gpumax on freenode IRC, you can see when they went out. you should email [email protected]

ok, well still nothing so i just emailed them, thanks for the addy couldnt find it on the website.

Ill say this again, check blockchain.info for your address payments before you think its us due to the non-resetting stats on your worker.

The obvious solution would be to implement a GPUMAX pass-through, but that would effectively negate the control Pirate has over hashpower volume. (and probably bring GPUMAX out of the wonderful stability it has enjoyed these past few weeks)

Lol. Have you noticed how everything pirateat40 does seems to attract the possibility of pass-throughs? Cheesy
