(21:29) Silfax: The VPS instance that we were using to host the wallets (as of 1-2 days ago) got deleted. Why, not yet sure. I talked with the Digitalocean crew, and we're still in discussion about who might have done that.
(21:30) Silfax: There was one IP address that accessed the site that wasn't belonging to any of us, as far as I can tell, so I asked them for more specific details, and they should get back to me soon.
(21:31) Silfax: An IP on the same subdomain also logged into the server, and seems to have stolen the majority of the BTC deposits.
(21:31) Silfax: How on earth this person got access to the site /and/ the digitalocean account less than 24 hours after we set them up is not certain, hopefully things will become clearer when we get more logs from DO.
(21:32) Silfax: I've been able to trace where the BTC went to an IP that's /not/ a TOR node, so theoretically someone might actually be there? But I'm skeptical at this point.
(21:33) Silfax: I really am confused how this happened, and I'll keep you posted as it all unfolds.
OK, after yesterdays fender bender with HP servers, I can conclude that there is an option that is good,
First I started with 2XL which is priced at 0.9$ per hour and it gave me around 110 hpm, after experimenting with others, best price to ratio gave me this:
Standard Large 8 HP Cloud Compute Units, 4 virtual cores, 8GB RAM, 160GB disk
which costs 0.24$ per hour, I started 4 servers which is 0.96$ per hour, got around 250 hpm total
given that you have 50$ free trial and 0.96$ cost per hour that gives you 52 hours of free mining at 250 hpm which I think is worth using
Getting 200 col/min thats using the old miner from ypool. The updated/optimized miner from yvg should give you about 10% extra power.
I want to inform everybody to be careful of using Silfax's exchange. He is currently being served a cease and desist for stealing all the code and wallet info. He scammed both his partners by hijacking access to everything. Be very cautious depositing any funds with him... he will be exposed
Hey everyone, the exchange has moved to https://www.bit-u.com
Here is a PGP signed message from me to the same effect: http://pastebin.com/W3LcvmJ8
My partners who were working on the actual coingrounds project (see www.coingrounds.com) demanded excessive rights and fees to the project, which didn't make sense to me, so it was better to part ways.
Just be patient and mine away, we are getting a decent number of blocks now that ypool is down haha. I don't think you should be too worried about long wait times to get paid, unless you are selling as soon as you get them....
