Seriously, I am really concerned about this AMC Pool... no body has any info or experience?

OK I have figured it out, hopefully the devs will see this and fix it....
The auto pay out feature is broken.

My manual payment worked perfectly!!!!

Thanks love this pool actually really didn't want to change pools.

I added my btce address on btcguild and set auto payment, but the coin went somewhere not my account Sad

Did you check the address? Did you check the block for the transaction?

Somebody stole from me around 15 BTC back in 2010, I trusted a guy and send the bitcoins first. But one thing I regret is formatting my HDD with around 100 BTC in 2010.

What was your forum account in 2010? Because yours was registered yesterday, and in 2010 most of the transactions happened on these forums.

Just curious Wink

I just wanted to hear some stories and other people's experience with stolen coins. I recently played around with mining BBQcoins because the difficulty was low enough that my CPU mined almost 50 over the weekend on bbq.ltcoin.net About three hours ago someone changed my wallet address and cashed out all of my coins. Easy come, easy go I guess. As far as I know nothing can be done about it.

Here's a link to the offending address transactions:

The 40.54 and 3.28 balances used to be mine.

Hope everyone is using unique passwords at every forum & pool that they join. You're crazy if you're using the same password/username at any two BTC or crypto-related sites.

Do most miners use multiple pools?

If your wallet is encrypted with a strong password meeting the requirements they recommend, is it safe?

I can't really post about this anywhere else so I am going to put it here. I have been sitting on just under 1 AMC for 2 days with no pay out from pool.amccoin.com even though my auto-payout is set to .1

I tried to take a screen shot but was unsuccessful. I am just hoping someone will see this post and respond with some info. I am not a very happy miner right now.

That's why I keep backups of several altcoin wallets on which I received free trial coins on a memory stick. They maybe be utterly worthless at the moment but who knows where they stand 5 years from now.

There must be a lot people who got thousands of Bitcoins in the early days who have wiped their wallet.dat thinking that it was completely useless to keep hanging on to.

I wonder what the biggest amount is that was thrown away. Must be some guys who are kicking themselves in the balls knowing that they could have been millionaires.

I tend to keep passwords on a small notebook. There is a lesser chance the notebook is lost, stolen or looked-at than forgetting different long and complex passwords for a number of sites, servers. etc.

I agree.

I also use a different email address and a different 15 character randomly generated password for each different site.

I've been scammed on a loan for 0.1 BTC but I've never had it stolen in the typical way like hacking etc.

Had 270 LTC stolen from me from btc-e, recently. Turns out the a-holes hacked my email account and withdrew all of my holdings there. I had email verification enabled. so they just entered my user name, and did a forgot password since they had access to my email. Good thing that i didn't keep all of my coins there.
