Topic: Introducing Tricky's Mining Pools - page 3. (Read 4454 times)

Definitely not one of those people with thousands of coins hanging around... though I wish I was .  No, I've been mining for a couple years - mostly on p2pool - and have made a decent bit of coin.  I used quite a bit of what I've made to fund this adventure, and luckily it paid off far before I thought it would.  That's the thing about mining... a share can hit at any time.

Don't fret... a miner with just a single S3+ (453GH/s) hit a solo block on solo.ckpool not too long ago.  Also, a guy with 2TH has hit a couple as well.  So it can certainly be done.  I was a bit impatient and threw some pretty large rentals at my pool

wow i must admit im shocked, youve basically just told me what i didnt want to hear lol, yeah i was looking at hiring, but 1btc for 3 hours at 1PH is a pretty big gamble, massive respect for the persistence and 9 btc gamble, i dont think i could personally go that far myself but i understand some people have thousands of btc from years ago, you could be 1 of those peeps as anything is possible


im not saying they haven't, i agree as i was a victim of mt GAW myself along with many others i just dont see the point in destroying a reputation ive spent a life time keeping good for anything less than the rest of my life in comfort and luxury with the best flowers of intoxication lol
nosey lol i love that 1 myself its accurate and honest if anything now i fully accept that people will scam other people and i also fully accept that you guys dont know me from adam, unless you frequent the same exchanges i do anyway, nexious sounds like another to add to the list of crypto-crims and already has a bad name around here by the looks of it, but im not 1 of these crooks like i say im the same username everywhere i go online including facebook which i was using before i even knew crypto existed, if i was out to rip people off i would be clever about it and not give any chance at all to link my victims back to who i am so they would be chasing after a ghost, im not behaving this way and im being totally open as i have nothing to hide


i agree with what your saying but this is not right, this is not what was intended for humanity, money is most certainly the root of all evil, we could get rid of it over night and all be free with abundance, but the mass's seem to love being slaves to the creators of money value and wealth, and need some kind of inequality so they have people to worship rather than beliefs :/ 1 day they may realise, hopefully before its too late :/


ahhh ok i missunderstood, thank you will have a nosey

I had about 1.5PH on my pool when I found the block... not prying at all .  It was on my own dime, too.  I'd spent about 9BTC on my own in rentals before the block hit.  All in all not a bad ROI for me, and the miners on my pool made a pretty decent little payout as well.

As has been pointed out, people have been ripped off for far less than 25BTC.  Also, and I'm glad you had a nosey (great expression by the way) regarding nexious.  It shows that people certainly are wiling to risk it to run the con.  He'd started attracting some miners - many of whom spent months on his pool.  It wasn't until I found the block on his pool that the scam was exposed and the guy ran.

Unfortunately, because the cryptocurrency ecosystem is so new and so many people have been burned (from scamming hardware vendors, to scamming pool operators), that's exactly what happens: books are indeed judged by their covers.

Not me, some one who mined there.
Here is your info last two blocks were found whith in a couple of days before pool was closed. What you need is luck and good blessing though
http://tbdice.org/blocks.htm
Blocks 2 and 3 the guy mined from beginnig with 2TH

lol entitled to your opinion pal, shame your wrong but thats your choice, follow your brain by all means, if my pool ever finds a block, it will payout and i hope somebody announces it here just to prove you all wrong, your making entirely too many assumptions for my liking, i have no friends, especially forum friends, i hate forums mate or are you choosing to ignore that fact? check me out if you must i have the same name everywhere, including exchanges where i have been resident in troll boxes for the last year, im known but i dont have friends which is both positive yet negative at the same time

you found 2 blocks in 1 year with 2TH on a solo pool? mind if i ask when or more to the point what was net hash rate and difficulty please? id be happy with 2 blocks a year, in fact ecstatic going off current stats

100+ for the croud though. But I will not waste my time to argue with you or convince "crowd" or your potential buddies how trustworthy or scammy you are. I have tried many many times without succes. So if you are good enough to convince them and scam them go ahead and do it. If they are stupid and dum enough to go for it even warned many times it is their fault and blame
I am done with this topic also
Good luck with your venture
Ps:
On my ex solo pool closed recently,  a miner with 2th found two bloks  during the year. So do not loose your hope miracles still happen especially arround Christmas  

thanks for the comment, not sure what "excuse" your referencing but there isnt 1 for sale lol, i have already stated several times i appreciate some cheap individuals have zero morals, but  i do have them, and my pool hasn't come from nowhere, i have run alt pools for a good year,  story of my life i got into scrypt mining before realising sha256 was better, ABY was a good horse to back in its early days, but i wish id just jumped straight onto bitcoin, at least had i bought sha256 miners when i bought the scrypt they would still be useable .

granted my patronage of this site has pretty much come from nowhere (actually posting and not just reading from the side lines), but as stated its the only place i could think where i would be likely to find fellow miners who might wish to pool their resources for a better reward assuming we find a block quickly.

some people follow their brains, some people follow their hearts, but the majority follow the crowd unfortunately, he who follows the crowd will get no further than the crowd

I am not buying your excuse mate
You do not know Con but we know him and we do not know you. I personally tried to warn people in Nexious pool but nobody listened. So this time I do hope they will listen. Starting a pool from nowhere these days is a sure loss  for the pool OP. I am wandering where your energy is comming from...
Best
People be warned and be careful what you do!

yeah its a known issue that has been reported to the github project several times, i believe there is also a bounty for fixing it, but like i say the whole share recording and calculations need rewriting to fix it, and i had nothing to do with the development of the project so i would effectively be starting at the ground up, which to me is a long drawn out process that will take too much time for my self :/ and yeah i know exactly what you mean where mono is concerned ispent hours fighting with ubuntu + mono

no offense but im taking it as an attempt to con me mate, i dont know the guy from adam, and im being asked to trust a stranger with what will be other peoples coins, now im aware of nexious i did have a quick nosey, granted there are some seriously unscrupulous individuals walking amongst us, but im not 1 of them yes i know talk is cheap but the fact that my alt pools have not generated a single bad word against me in a good year must say im not a thief or at the least, give indications i actually know what im doing lol

like i said, i was effectively solo mining with my 2TH for about 4 months now, i started when net hash was almost half of todays nethash, after 4 months now with double the net hash i still have not found a block, and my chances have as good as halved, so reseting all the shares and opening it to the public seemed my best option, i see you have your own mpos btc pool which has found a block, well done mate how much hash was on your pool at the time it found the block, if you dont mind my prying if net hash wasn't so huge or somebody has access to a lot of hash im more than happy for my pool to be hammered to catch its first block, then you will all see it will pay out, im not in the business of upsetting people and giving them chance to send the old bill after me mate, end of the day the domain is registered to me there is accountability, and lets face it 25 btc currently = £7716.84, thats not even enough to buy a shit car mate, why would i rip a number of users off to not even gain 5 months of living expense then have the worst reputation ever and never prosper, some people may be that cheap but im certainly not, i wouldn't destroy my reputation for anything less than what i would need to survive till the day i die, minimum £10,000,000 but this is the same for anybody who has morals and intelligence dont you think?

Huh... that's interesting.  I've only ever played with coiniumserv locally to see what it was like compared to some other offerings.  Never gave it much more than a cursory look because of its reliance on mono to emulate the .NET framework on non-windows platforms.  Certainly a bug as glaring as what you're describing should have been noticed

As for you last statement... nobody is trying to con you out of 25BTC.  They want assurances that they won't be conned out of the coin.  That very thing just happened, and was referenced earlier in the thread (look up nexious).  So, -ck very graciously (and then phillipma1957 as well) offered to escrow the 25BTC, so that when a new pool found a block the miners would at least be guaranteed to get their coins in case the pool operator ran off with them like the last guy did.

i used coinium for my alt pool basically due to 99% of pools being nomp + mpos and i wanted to be different, i also like the style of it but unfortunately the worker hash rates are not correct (bug in coinium which i cant be bothered to fix, its a problem with reported shares giving incorrect calculations) hence why i went with mpos for bitcoin, now i might be lazy but im not stupid, nobody would mine a coinium bitcoin pool when it could say your worker speed is 10x greater than the net hash, would you lol

and as for me choosing not to learn how a forum works (its no secret im no forum fan), thats my choice pal im not wasting my time learning a platform to interact with strangers, truth be told i dont care how to quote snippets i have copy and paste and "" lols my time is better spent maintaining my pools and faucets, im currently deciding whether to migrate the coinium over to the MPOS server or not at the mo, it would correct the worker hash rates, but would lose a years history of my alt pools (due to the share issue in coinium i cant migrate the database in any use able manor).

now the question your asking yourself in my eyes seems a bit silly, ive had alt pools for a good year with no serious problems or complaints, yes i have had wallets corrupt and even dealt with chain forks, now i know i can handle any potential issues that could arise but dont envisage a bitcoin chain fork, im never getting 51% of the network, i think id be lucky to get 1% of the net hash on my pool in all honesty, it would be nice and welcome, but i have no expectations.

you have to understand that i understand psychology, when you give me a reply i analyze that reply and reply accordingly myself, so far i have as good as been called a potential scammer and had people even try to con me out of 25 bitcoin, im far from your average dumb citizen mate

Yes, your alt coin pool.  Assuming you mean this one: http://wemine.uk:89?  I'm curious why you decided to use coiniumserv for your alt coin pools, but went with NOMP/MPOS for your BTC one?

Perhaps I should rephrase what I stated in my previous reply.  Here goes:

It shows a lack of professionalism that you won't even bother to understand the basics of the medium through which you are communicating.  Rather than ask, "Hey, how did you change the font color?" or "Could you show me how to quote snippets?" you glossed over it and gave some lackadaisical answer about the poster showing off.  That made me ask myself, "Is this guy really serious about running a pool or able to provide any support for his pool if he can't even figure out forum software?"

Anyway, good luck.  As has been mentioned a few times, you've picked a pretty tough time to show up and announce a new pool.

as you say inane, i cant stand forums mate, im not wasting my time learning how to use somebody elses creation when i have facebook to deal with that particular desire you all need to give up expecting me to be a socialist, i came on to invite some users not argue over any point people can pick out!
 

Let me put it like this, that fact you mention the word "scammer" is a large red flag to anyone here with experience. Additionally, since it appears that you have no vested interest in capitalization and generating a proper sentence structure, it would only be logical that your ability to run a efficient / legitimate pool just might be open to question.

With that being said, make a better pool than is what is currently available, Bitcoin is ALL about being decentralized. Fund / front the capital to start it, come up with some custom graphics / marketing material, make a REAL compelling argument why we should mine at your pool! If this is too much to ask, then with all due respect, please hahaha and lol back to whatever hole you crawled out of.

In a couple posts you've questioned how to do something as inane as quoting text and changing font colors... Seriously?  Why would anyone in their right mind trust you to be able to properly manage a pool if you can't even figure out the basics of how to utilize forum software?   

now your just showing off, im not even going to try to quote as fancy as you have lol, haha i never implied the overall average payout was better long term, if thats how it comes across i can only appologise it wasnt intended to i did also say that i appreciate i shouldn't compare with bitcoin, i know the scale is ridonculous, but i prefer experience to theory myself, smaller pools with less miners compared to bigger pools, generally pay more of the block to each miner than they would get in a bigger pool thats just simple maths, my pool pays out on weighted shares and i have about 2TH of my own on there, somebody else has joined and added about 5TH so if we find a block (highly unlikely i know) but he will get the lions share as he contributing more hash than i am.

"risk millions of dollars worth of hardware " this is some serious exaggeration right? most miners have ROI by now if not close to it, who knows maybe somebody here really does have millions of dollars worth of hardware, but cant get their own pool to solo mine, c'mon man i live in the real world im not expecting peta hashes of contribution for individual miners, im not saying i would turn it away i would actually be shocked if i got even 1 PH on my pool i wouldn't even care that my 2Th would be paying almost nothing, like i say this is my hobby i do it to pass the time

Well your statement I've marked in bold relates directly to your comment further up I highlighted in red that is very inaccurate.

Your comment about personal experience and trying to tie it to a false statement I highlighted in blue, is indeed made up on the spot.

Understanding the statistics of a random event is not hard, I'd suggest you find out since you seem to think that people should be happy to risk millions of dollars worth of hardware mining here, yet you clearly lack at least some understanding about what to expect with blocks finding and how much miners should get in reward for pointing their expensive equipment here.
