I hope him and his business suffers 10 times the pains he's caused.
We're looking for another solution.
Did you find something else?
We have a few leads, but we have not decided yet.
BTC Dr.
Total scam service.
Purchased a pool for FireFlyCoin.
After a couple days the pool was down and I could not connect.
Ended up getting 38K coins missing from wallet and of course they claim no responsibility.
I had no access to the wallet myself or the server, only this Mark character.
I log in one day to find this:
Wallet Balance 240.19820000
Locked for users 38,034.43580640
Unconfirmed 0.00000000
Liquid Assets -37,794.23760640
I then message Mark Shirley on Skype:
BE CAREFUL!
