Well that sucks. But I have to say, if you don't even learn from your own mistakes you kind of have yourself to blame.

Unfortunatley I haven't received any FTC yet from Viperaus, so once again, I got scammed, this time about 20BTC worth as when I sold my FTC I had that is the additional amount I would've received for my 4481 FTC that I was supposed to receive from him.  Unfortunatley this is why I think people stray away from cryptocurrency.   I know its why I did back in the day just to come back a year later and have it happen again.

I started mining FTC on altpool.com but sadly the site went down and with it over 5k of my FTC.  I'm hoping to get them back and hear from viperaus.

Did the site just disappear one day, or did they stop their mining pool?

Well the site went down and with it, my ability to cash out.  Then they put up a new site in its place.  Here is a link to what happened/is going on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179563.220  I really wish I could post in that thread my wallet address for FTC so Viperaus knows he owes me but I'm classified as a newb and it wont let me.  Truth is though I'm really worried I wont get paid my FTC back.  And of course it just got put on BTC-e today so this is truly a bummer.   I had no idea they would be worth this much already otherwise I would've cashed out everyday.

I may get my coins back, I really hope I do, so far the guy (Troy) seems to be trying to pay people out what he owes them from the site crashing, guess time will tell

Back in the day I believe it was 12 or 22 BTC, And yes the exact number of FTC I lost was somewhere just over 5500.  I'm seriousley kicking myself for not downloading a wallet sooner and cashing out... as right now that is worth around 30BTC.

wow that sucks.

I have only been mining for about a month.

I cash out of mining pools on a regular basis so if something happens I don't lose much. Unfortunately some people will steal when their are no consequences and sometimes stuff just happens even when their are good intentions.

Hello everyone!

Figured I might as well become a member on here since I've been a part of this cryptocurrency for quite a long time now.  Anyone else super excited to see where this all goes?  I started mining bitcoins way back in the day when one stored their bitcoins in an online wallet.  I remember it got hacked and at that time I lost all my bitcoins and with it the faith in the cryptocurrency.  Consequentially I sold all my mining hardware.  It wasn't until LTC came out that I decided to spend a little and start mining again.  I'm glad I did.  I was pleased to see how wallets were no longer online but on a personal computer with the ability to encrypt them.  I have much more faith in cryptocurrency and hope that it keeps growing at the rate that it has.  Anyone excited about any particular alternate cryptocurrency?  I started mining FTC on altpool.com but sadly the site went down and with it over 5k of my FTC.  I'm hoping to get them back and hear from viperaus.  This rings bells of what happened with mybitcoinwallet back in the day...
