Topic: Nexious.com WARNING POOL OPERATOR IS NOT PAYING NOR RESPONDING - page 4. (Read 34967 times)

Ah k.
Ladies and gentlemen: Yess .. Yesss ... let the hate flow.

What a drag... I liked the layout of that pool... Time to find another one...

Slush has no official support thread on this forum & Antpool provides virtually zero support here, as well as deliberately mining empty blocks. If Antpool/Slush or any other pool done a Nexious with your hard earned BTC, will you know where to go in China or whereever to get your earnings, or who to contact?

I think you also have to include Slush in the category of trustworthy pools. The list you provided was pretty short, and i'll bet incomplete. I expect Antpool is trustworthy though I have no direct experience.

Absolutely. IMHO there are only 2 ways to mine that are completely, 100% trustworthy:

P2pool.
Solo mining.

..and only a few pools that are run by proven trustworthy operators:
Kano.is
ckpool (solo)
Bitminter.
(& BTCGuild - RIP)

I pointed an S3 at this scam pool for less than 2 minutes & I feel cheated    God knows how miners who spent days/weeks on here must feel.......

Haha, get 'em Kano. I was going to mention something like that - while I do trust wizkid057 I have also just about run out of trust with Eligius several times when there are payout / pool issues and things get backed up. While Eligius pays coinbase generation payouts, not every miner gets their coins paid with every block find. The system is queuing up payments, which means (and it has been documented) that the pool does hold a lot of coin that it hasn't paid its miners. Because of that, you can't put P2Pool and Eligius in the same boat regarding trust.

"majority"

Except Eligius doesn't ... sometimes, and the coins can spend months waiting for the eligius middleman to send them to miners ... as you well know yourself.

Since, as with any pool, there's the question of how much you are paid ... there's also the obvious point about the long term luck of the pool, that is under the control of the pool.
Yes you may like to pretend that everything that happens at your pool is luck, but that's a lie.

For the last year (most likely years) your pool block change times have been terrible and part of the cause of the low "luck".
You have only recently made any reasonable changes regarding that (in the last month or so)
Your changes before that, in the previous years, to over come the shortcomings of your pool software, were (among other thing) to:
1) For 5 months only allow 32 transactions per block
2) For years and still currently, mine empty blocks every network block change, yet your block change times are still slow using this, bad for bitcoin, excuse.

You even effectively made the most ridiculous statement about your own pool payouts trying to point out a short coming of PPS
Your pool pays less than PPS with an absolute maximum limit of PPS ... so when reward halves, so does your pool payout ... just like it does for Antpool and f2pool and for the same reason.
... and as with most limit functions ... limits are rarely reached.

I've pretty much stopped tracking the coins.  They've now been spread across multiple addresses.  Not a single coin has made it into my wallet.  The scam card has been thrown down.

Maybe sending a report to the appropriate authorities anyway, then we did our bit.

 I'm from Russia,I do not than the data will not help

I have contacted whoisguard to request the details of the holder. I will not post them publically here but will happily PM them if I get them to those who ask.

It's probably worth mentioning that if you share a password used on the Nexious site with any other account you should immediately change those. Never use duplicate passwords if you can avoid it.

I've simply modified the title to suit what has happened here, and added my own trust feedback. Moderators don't have access to detailed information on users - only admins do (theymos and badbear are the only active admins). They have explicitly said they will not release personal information on any forum user without an official request from an authority so you would need to make your plea to them knowing this.

Should mine on Eligius or P2Pool, both of which pay miners directly from the coinbase generation transaction.  No middleman for the majority of payouts, can look at your miner's debug logs (or other tool) to see exactly who you're working to pay.

At the very least, mine on a pool with a good track record.  I could see stuff like this becoming a trend.

OK... it certainly seems to be a reality now.  This was nothing more than a scam.  I have left negative feedback for the user Nexious.  We need to alert the moderators - well, it seems that one has already changed the thread title.  Now I think some further action needs to be taken to see if anyone can track down the pool operator.  It appears some good detective work has been done in this thread and identified a potential perpetrator as William Fuller from New Zealand.  Hopefully the moderators can shed some more light on this by providing detailed information about the registered user Nexious, such as IP address, email, etc.

I have not received any payments.

I have not received any payments.

edit: it seems all of the transactions move ~5btc out of the main chunk of BTC.  maybe he is paying back all his unpaid loans.. lol haha   I just made myself laugh.
