I have recently moved again (on Friday). If you still have units that were being hosted with me, please get a hold of me via PM here or through email. Unfortunately I can no longer host the hardware... I have moved in with my mom and I don't think she wants to have mining hardware running all over the house. Actually, I have a feeling she wouldn't mind.. she would cut off her arm for me, but I hate to burden her with it. She is already doing a lot by letting me live with her for a while.

I still have not heard from some people... even since I moved out of the commercial space. I'm not really sure what I should do about that. I am thinking of liquidating all hardware that is left over, and then if I hear from those people eventually.. I can transfer them the proceeds of the sale. If you haven't got in contact with me yet, please do so.

Thanks

Thank you Will  Wink
The package has arrived in South Africa!
Thank you for the extra goodies!!!!
I hope that things go better in the future for you. I can totally understand that things don't always work out as planned.
The difference between people though is how they deal with it.
Thank you for being a standup guy and getting things sorted out and not just going off the grid.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad your things made it to SA. I actually just emailed you today asking if everything had arrived OK.. I didn't know you had posted here, so I suppose you can disregard that email. Take care

According to tracking (it was actually tracked somehow, btw), the Gridseeds were finally delivered today!
I'll be hooking them up tonight. Can't wait to get mining.  Grin

I hope everything went OK.. please let me know if not. Since I've moved a couple times I am finding some of the Gridseeds died in the move. The only reason I can think of is that it gets really hot here and being in a hot car for a bit has killed some unfortunately. Hopefully all your units were OK though.. take care.

An update... I received the box of accessories a few days ago, so thanks for that, Will, and for the Cryptovest physical Litecoins, of course.

The mining hardware itself is stuck at Canada Customs and they're taking their sweet time getting to it. No surprise there. They cleared the accessories within a day, but the miners, for some reason, have been there 3 days already. Oh well. I'll keep waiting and I'll post a pic once my farm is finally setup.

I'm glad you got the accessories in, I hope customs clears that up for you fast. If you need me to do anything let me know.

FYI I sent you an email but never did get a response.  Maybe PM me here.  I have 20 gridseeds that were self-managed... would prefer you host them, but will take them back if you can't.  If you want to send them back, I would be willing to buy from you whatever you have them mounted in/on for a reasonable price.  Would be much easier for you and me to just send them in the mounting frame versus taking them out and then having me have to put them into a frame ...

You have a PM, sorry about that.

Our forums seem to be offline at the moment. I would like to give an update on the diversified and avalon group buy here.

The rigs in the diversified group buy were hashing longer than the Gridseed ones, as they were hosted at my home and the power wasn't switched off until about a week and a half later than at the warehouse. I have since got the HashFast Baby Jet up and running since Monday evening, and the KNC Jupiter has been hashing since Tuesday evening. Those are the two most stable rigs, so I thought it important to get those back up and running first.

This leaves the Bitfury rigs left to setup, I think I will have them going by tonight or tommorow. It is kind of tricky finding places in the home to setup all of this stuff considering I have to run them on normal 120v outlets. I have my bedroom and the living room maxed out power-wise, and am planning on setting up the Bitfuries in the dining room. I need to be careful about where I set things up, as my sister has 3 dogs and I have one as well.. the house is pretty crazy. Luckily the living room has a door on it, so I can shut them out of there so they can't mess with anything. I am going to get a table for the dining room so the Bitfurys are out of their reach.

I can settle up the Avalon group buy account by the end of the week. I have to be out of my duplex by Friday, so the next 2 days are going to be insanely busy. I think I will have most of the weekend to work on this, as well as paying past due payments for the diversified group buy. Since the forums are down, I cant log on to see if anyone wanted to change their BTC address for payments. So, I think it is best I wait until they come back up so I don't send a payment to someone's old address they don't have access to anymore.

I still have a few people that haven't contacted me as to what they want to do with their Gridseeds, I suppose if I don't hear from them by the end of the week I will get those up and running in the meantime until I hear from these people. I will also be sending out emails to everyone I have not heard from this weekend.

Everything is slowly but surely being worked out, thanks for your patience.

Thank you guys, I appreciate that. I met some of the best friends I have in the crypto world by doing my first Avalon group buy.

I can't explain how awesome it is that I have gained friends like this through that venture. I honestly was not expecting it, but it is an added bonus.

Your support and understanding through this troubling time has really meant a lot to me, and I appreciate it very much!

Cheers

If your name is Jesus or Nathan, I have not received a Bitcoin address from you (that I can find at least).

So I can go ahead and send out the payment in a second, I have generated an address for you guys and will hold the BTC there until I hear from you.

I have also emailed you both.

The payment will be going out soon.. I am just waiting on the block chain to catch up. Still 6 weeks behind, so it may take a bit.

EDIT: It has been sent, sorry it took so long. The change from Bitcoind to Bitcoin Core messed up my payment commands because it was installed in a different folder. Furthermore I had a silly error in the command that took me forever to find. 6 hours later... it is paid. I apologize that everything else on the to do list will need to wait until tomorrow since this took so long. Thanks for understanding.

Great to see you are making amends. I wait for the day when your debts are settles and you can return to helping out the community.

ftpking,

You are right I should of responded this morning I apologize. I actually had someone to help me move today, so I needed to take advantage of the help while I had it. It is for that reason I wouldn't of been able to do anything until this evening anyways, so I didn't feel the urgent need to respond I guess.

I agree I have taken a ridiculously long amount of time to pay out the mining earnings, and I apologize for that. I got a lot done today as far as moving (I have to be out by Friday), so I have tonight and at least tomorrow morning and afternoon to tend to my group buys. I really wish you would have just sent me the Paypal like I suggested and not done a charge back on me. I think you would have already received your equipment. I think maybe it was a blessing in disguise though, because I realized due to the amount of equipment you have I need to split it up into two boxes and shipping will be more than I thought and I have no money to cover it. I will find out exactly the cost tonight and I will email you about it.

Some things I plan on getting done this evening and tomorrow:
1. Make past due payments for mining income for all of my group buys.
2. Get the equipment that I am still hosting up and running (mainly for other group buys and only Gridseed customers that can't host their units). This has been challenging for me because the place I am moving into the dryer socket is in a 100 degree shed outside, so I can't use it to power all of the equipment. I am having to find people to host them for me as a temporary solution. A more permanent solution will need to be figured out though, because I can't expect my family to host these things forever due to the noise, heat, electricity, etc.. I didn't mind all of that, but I know most people would hate for their home to sound like a jet engine 24x7. I don't really have a good solution yet but something will need to be figured out.
3. Update the private forums for the other group buys.

Sorry again,

Will

CH,

If you're going to lurk, at least give me an update on what's going on with my 20 units. It's sort of rude to come on when you see a new post asking for information, read the post, and then log off.

What do you need me to do to get these shipped?

Why haven't you sold the coins I asked you to yet to pay for shipping to me....?

Alternatively, send me the coins that my units mined, I'll sell them myself, and then pay you with that.

The address is still showing the same balance https://blockchain.info/address/1NoSqFgsexazNDncU1ArWnBA7fewrtaFnR

The first people that contacted me and paid, your stuff is on its way as of today. Sorry about the delay.. life is crazy right now. I will write some assembly instructions and post them here. Make sure to read them.. I had a customer brick his units by plugging in 5v power into the Gridseeds.

- If you have emailed me and not heard back from me, you will hear from me today.

- If you emailed me and don't want your stuff shipped back and want it hosted. I will have your things back up and running within the end of the week. I apologize for delay.. I'm still moving.

- If you opened a Paypal dispute, I cannot send your stuff to you I apologize. I literally have $0 in my pocket and my bank account is negative, I cannot cover your shipping. When you open a dispute, Paypal freezes the money. Email me to work something out.

I am giving you guys all accessories at no costs, and 1 special edition physical litecoin (worth ~$15 each unloaded on Ebay) per Gridseed you ordered (until supplies last I am not sure I have enough to do 1-1 for everyone.) I have these left over from people that didn't pay for them after the auctions. This is the only way I can somewhat make up for this as I have no coins or cash. I hope you appreciate it... as I have definitely lost a lot of time and money in this as well. I wasn't making much of anything selling these Gridseeds as it was- hosted units I literally made nothing after paying for accessories and was planning on making money from hosting fees. That obviously never happened.

I am going to take a long hiatus from the cryptocoin community after this is cleared up. I will not continue any businesses I have started, I need to eliminate stress as much as possible from my life. I admit I am young (27) and still have a lot to learn. I have made some mistakes and I am sorry about that. I wish things would have gone better, but it most of it was out of my control. I literally do not know how I am going to eat tonight. I am now living with my sister, first night here she's like "I'm seeing this guy and he's gonna stay the night tonight." I'm thinking to myself... fuck my life. I told someone in email, but since I delayed even more I will explain it to you publicly. I have been having problems with depression the past 6 months or so. It has been hard for me to live a normal life, it is why I lost my job. I have suffered with depression off and on my whole life, but lately I have been the worst I've ever been. I would totally kill myself right now if I didn't have a family that would be devastated. I can't do that to them... I need to learn to be strong and teach myself how to be happy again. I have been going through some really tough times, all I am asking for is a little understanding.

Please just have patience and this whole thing will be fixed shortly. I am still moving.. no A/C at my old place or the warehouse in 90+ degree weather... by myself. This is why I have been slow to respond and send everything back. I will try to make an effort to be better about responding etc so we can get this cleared up once and for all.

Thanks.

Since you are going to take a hiatus I figured I would ask if plan to tie up all loose ends including this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-design-a-physical-bitcoin-contest-is-closed-289668

It has been 9 months and counting. Just asking.

It seems Smoothie's life mission is to ruin my reputation. I think I am doing an OK job of that on my own Smoothie, I don't need your help. Tongue

GFY

1. You mad bro?

2. It was just a question. No need to get in a hissy fit.

3. Concerning your acronym, no thanks. I do not swing that way. But Goat might take you up on that offer since he offered the same thing to me just the other week.  Grin Grin Grin

4. So can you answer the question like a legitimate forum user or will you just keep dodging the issue?

5. Nice try to make me out to be the one who is in the wrong here. Clearly all I've done is call things as I've seen it. All you have done in response is to whine and cry wolf that I am stalking you and attacking you. You and goat sure appear to have similar traits. You aren't related are you? Tongue

Grow up Smoothie, aren't you like 30+ years old? This is ridiculous... As I've said 10 times now (maybe more)- I will pay off the loan and bounty as soon as I am able. I didn't feel the need to repeat myself, especially to you. I am broke and in debt to a couple people in this community. If I had money to pay them then I would, but I cannot. You bothering me about it all the time doesn't change anything- just because you make a post on here (and in at least 5 other threads over 2 forums in the past month or so) doesn't magically grant me the ability to shit money out of my ass. Maybe you don't understand... I am sure you are pretty well off from you crypto investments and selling overpriced coins, unfortunately I cannot say the same for myself. I couldn't go out to eat if I wanted.. all my money is in groceries in fridge or in my possessions, most of which I am selling to get back on my feet.

I am a freaking broken depressed individual right about now and things have not been going well. So what do you do? You go around and rub it in my face all over. That is just a very mean spirited thing to do and I am sure you have no heart. You are not even directly involved and have NEVER supported or purchased anything from me- EVER. You make it seem like you're some white knight rescuing the helpless from a terrible tyrant, when in actuality your actions and what you say about me stem from some kind of hatred you have for me. Why should you give a shit about all of this? Were you affected by any of it? NO... I know you're going to come back with some bullshit like "because I really care about people getting scammed" or something, but you and I both know this is personal for you. Otherwise you would be posting in one of the other million scammer threads and trying to help those people out. Yet, you only come here and harass me. I think part of your hatred from me stems from me pointing out that you are making a killing on your coins, and now it has been exemplified now that I came out that I no longer support Litecoin. Just please admit these are the true reasons why you harrass me, it is quite obvious although you try your best to hide your true reasons.

I have now ignored you, I should of done it about 2 years ago. Good day.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. You are not going to pay out the bounty anytime soon. Time will tell if it ever gets done.
