I've read the entire length of this post and have a theory..........
On the last post by the Pool Op, on June 28,2018, it seems the OP was supposedly "stealing" coins from a user that had multiple clients, that had been mining at the pool, found a lot of blocks, but yet none showed up in their wallets. They also stated they were doing a "trust" test of the site, using advanced firmware (?), etc, etc, which sounds like BS to me. I believe the person who sent the message, was probably the person who hacked the Pool OP original account, and was tormenting the Pool OP. And the Pool OP reply post, I could sense frustration from the Pool OP, just how the wording was and the context of the message(s).
The Pool OP, has stated many, many time that "M" addresses are not supported, which I assume is a MultiSig address, which the pool does support, but ONLY if it starts with "3" and NOT "M". It doesn't exactly "M" addresses are not supported, only if they start with "3".
So...........I think, and it's just my opinion, that the Pool OP just got fed up with all the constant reminder of the "M" address issues, the constant PM's from users (legit and non legit), and most importantly, defending themselves against false accusations of supposedly "stealing" coins from users of the pool.... Got really pissed off, and just started ignoring replies, but yet, still reading posts on here.
That's it in a nutshell, my "theory".........I might be close to the truth, or I maybe way off base.......and maybe, just maybe, there is some other underlying reason(s) there is no communication from the Pool OP.

So.........IF the Pool OP reads this post, I would like to get a PM from them........

Thanks for taking the time to read this post......

Maybe it's just coincidence... but the date of last activity for he/she is on the 23rd... which corresponds to the post in this thread about the newest block to be mined by an M address. I would assume he/she would have seen the thread at least once in 10 months (and beyond) and is just not going to do any thing.

I have not had a response from my message to Iosha as of yet.

Thank you for the information!!! I sent him a message just a few minutes ago asking for the owed funds and with the 3 different forms of proof that I was the miner. Hopefully he's honorable and pays the coin owed. If he does, I will reach out and get your LTC address to send you your reward!

I really appreciate the help @OldSchoolCPU!

As you can see, the last time the OP was active, was on the Sept. 23.
Either the OP is ignoring PM's, for what ever reason, or just does not care. Just my 2 cents worth.

When I first found TBDice solo mining pool, I found it odd that there was no way to contact the site at all. No support email, not even a link to this forum.

So.....whatever it's worth.........TBDice Pool OP, please respond.

Thanks.

Well, sadly, another block was mined this morning using an M address. I wonder how long before the miner shows up here only to find out he/she won't be paid for their efforts today.

My offer still stands. I will pay 1 LTC to anyone who can get this pool operator on to BitcoinTalk to resolve and pay these mined blocks.

agreed - but as long as it is paying out, I will use it - just got to keep a close eye on it.

You shouldn't trust this pool... as far as I can tell, it's been flying without a pilot for months.

the only issue I have with the pool so far is that it does not accept my doge address for the MM - I know the address is valid as I drop Doge in it from ViaBTC MM all the time and it works just fine.


after half an hour of searching I found this:


this worked now says "self" for MM but with OP MIA - makes me wonder how long we can trust this pool to stay up and and keep paying people.

Wow I've been sitting here mining for weeks with a m address let her read this I thought maybe you could at least put a warning in the emails or even the UI authorization greeting

It's sad when you see people still mining to M address:

MChJZh9D7iQa8PtVAQkRUb3u1BzwVqe2YN   Self   3.59G / 0.001%   3.17G / 0.054%   2.91G / 0.157%   5.59G / 0.240%   9.41G / 0.265%   547679.87239

Not that he's going to hit a block at 3.59G - but in the 1:1000000000 chance he does... imagine how he'll feel to see this thread as he goes searching for why he hasn't/won't be paid.

I mined block 1493420 on 17/9/2018 using the M address before I discovered this forum, I posted numerous times and also PM to loshia1974.  I never had a single response, yet it's still operating to now 10 months on.  It's very strange, if the electricity/hosting bills aren't being paid for, it can't continue to operate untouched.   On the other hand LTC block explorer indicates the pool wallet has balance of 1,278 LTC as of this post.  It doesn't look like the coins generated that went to the pool's wallet have been spent.

Maybe we just have to watch the pool's wallet balance see if it's reducing, it means someone having access to the pool's wallet is still around.

I'm checking the pool's wallet balance via an ltc explorer.

I haven't heard or seen anything from anyone indicating he/she has resurfaced. I am still willing to provide the 1 LTC bounty if anyone is able to establish contact with the Pool Operator and the funds are successfully returned to me.

Any news w.r.t. pool owner and payouts?

That kind of power is only affordable on Nice hash. Or you rent some Rigs at MRR.
But it is not worth it. As long as you can not trust the pool you can never be sure where the hash is going.
So better stop mining here! 

What's a good place to rent that kind of power?

Difficulty went to 12.1M today... hard hit at 22G. It's been months since I mined at TBDice with any real effort... but I see there is one miner who has been spending a ton of money renting 2-3Th/s and hitting. Yesterday he hit 10 blocks and made some profit... today, not so much.

It's really sad that this pool Op has gone MIA and not responding to these posts. My bounty of 1 LTC still stands to whomever can get the Op here and resolve the matter of M address blocks and sending the 24.85 LTC on to the proper people, including myself.

I currently am mining with 22G hash rate. I am the 3be miner. I have not hit a block in 67 days.  I typically hit one in 20 days but the longest was 35. I am nervous to change to a pool because I feel like I will hit a block the second I do. I have hit 8 DOGE blocks since my last LTC.

Well, sadly, it appears ANOTHER miner hit a block today using an M address...

Damn I mined for 7 hours today with a M address. Glad I found this thread.

When i was mining, the status was Self, that's why i kept mining, i know if you use wrong address it will say Pool in red

i taught the devs had fixed with M address in the past i mined here with M address and it said pool (in red)
how can pool say Self and not pay me out.. seems it's not fixed yet?

is my current address ok? starting with 3 (status Self)
