Topic: sorry I have had enough of pcfli's hosting service. (Read 870 times)

This is just an update, I am still mining with user, as I cant sell due to my own fault (bought high sell low)

This is not a rant, I just want to document my experience with this user.

something strange just happned, I was buying a new bitmain miner (lee said I could use my existing units as part payment)

so I messaged (e.mail) and got this back....


probably nothing and all legit, but just something else that does not sound right with this user.

Sorry to see you are having these problems squall1066 - it's clear that you are right about lost hashing time & you are correct to bring this situation to the community's attention so that other potential members are aware of what can happen. I hope pcfli does the right thing & reimburses you fully for your losses & hassle - I'm sure you will come to a satisfactory resolution if you stick at it.

Good Luck! 

All this happened at the worst possible time, This was my timing that was off 

selling the units would get me back HALF what I paid, I believe there is a difference in fighting for what you believe in and being stubborn to the point of denial lol 

Lee has said he is stable most of the time, and I guess I was really unlucky all of his instability went for me, that's just my luck I guess.

I am still not happy, what can I do?

I will leave this open either way, I believe in leaving my history for all to see, maybe some light will come out in the future, maybe I will learn something from this. 

For the record, I did receive this.


But I loled at the " if it is the situation," part.

I did tell him to forget it now, this is not about the money for me now, I just prefer honesty and not to try and thow stuff back at me saying the hash rate was fine.

i am saying this as I dont want anyone to think I was angling for compo, anyone who knows my service here on the forum knows I am not like that.

I am talking to a buyer for my units, I will post here when I am out, but I just want to leave this here as a record, as some people have said they have found their units running on lee's pool.

I just smell something fishy here, time will tell.

Thanks all for reading.

I dont believe it, now he is saying I am getting all my hash rate    the fact I was not is the whole reason why I asked him in the first place, this is a joke.

Just had a response after three days of trying to contact him ( I know he is busy, it was not a dig)



I just re-affirmed I just want out, I don't want a battle, I have no trust left, but some points I must make about this message.

Firstly, I am sorry but I don't understand anything in the bottom image, if someone could translate I would appreciate it greatly.

secondly, these units were acquired on the 02 sept, I have no idea why he is going on about nothing changed since 31 July?

thirdly, (this is just my opinion) but the top image looks altered.

fourthly, even tho one unit with my name on points to the pool in question, another unit with someone elses name shows it running on my pool, If this was the case then I would not have any down time as four units would be running on my pool.

I would not have a problem with an admin error, But this dodgy image shows four units running on my pool, where this is false.

sorry, lee, just get me out of your hands, I'm not sold here.

I like to outsorce my hosting as I live in the UK=high power costs.

so I thought I would try pcfli's hosting, I so wish I did not, I will explain all now.

I bought a few units of several different people and the units was set up on my pool in a fast way (I waited a day for pcfli to log on, but it was done in less than two hours)

there were some down time of units (units independently down, not a group) and I know there was a big bit of down time that was compensated.

but when the bill time came round (sept) I did not get an e-mail after confirming my e-mail address, my miners went off   for three days.

I received the payment e-mail after some lies


then a pm, a day after???


so which is it???

there were some other miner problems about half hashing units, they got sorted, I wanted out at this point, but lee convinced me to stay, and to be honest, I am not the most luckiest person when it comes to mining.
on a side note, I was not compensated for the total of 4 days not mining, just the time they offically went down, but that was not the main point here.

over the last month, I have seen random miners going off for 3-6 hours a time (big problem for PPLNS pools) I have just paid another month but e-mailed to ask why one miner was not on for past 3 hours? I was shocked to receive this!



one miner is not on my pool, it just makes me think about the other times one unit was off for a few hours, you lot might want to check this out, I might have stumbled onto something here.

EDIT - for clarity, I have a back up pool set up, the pool one unit is on is not mine! so I am paying for my units to be on someone elses pool.



my miners have not changed any details.

so firstly I just want to make you all aware about this.

secondly, to pcfli, I want out, I want my months money back, and I need either a sale of these units to someone else or you buy them back off me, I don't care, I have lost faith in you.

thanks for reading, I will update as things progress.
