General Discussion / Re: Problem with http://www.btc38.com/
« on: November 21, 2013, 07:59:42 am »
The btc38 site seems like a good place to trade if you can deal with the google translation of the site.   Their is a lot of liquidity on this exchange.

The problem comes when you try to withdraw funds.   

I have done 5 withdrawals tonight from my account.   
3 to xpm address
2 of these arrived immediately, one of them timed out after hitting submit button.   It has not arrived and does not show up under transfers at bottom of account page.   Also does not show up as XPM funds at all.


2 withdrawals to btc address
1 withdrawal went fine and arrived within 1 minute or so.
1 withdrawal timed out similar to the xpm withdrawal error.   it has not arrived in several hours and also does not show under account balances or withdrawal history.   This is very distressing as this withdrawal is 1.97BTC missing.

It appears that the site is overloaded or something and they have a bug in the withdrawal code.   If you don't get a pop up window after clicking the withdrawal button then your transaction is likely gone into never - neverland.

I have spent the last hour trying to get connected to support via the QQ messenger.   I tried windows first... it just crashes on my windows 7 box.    the mac version is working.

Once connected to support they were slow to respond.   Maybe about 30 minutes.   Once they responded.... they immediately found the lost transactions and sent the funds.

So the story ends well.    If you want to trade here I suggest you have a strong stomach and interest in learning Chinese!

With a 6 month vesting period I think you will substantially reduce the size of your potential investor base.   Many people can go make the same or more money elsewhere in much less time.   

With a 6 month vesting I might be interested in owning 100 shares.   If that vesting occurs in 30 days I would be interested in owning alot more shares, maybe 100x.   If the vesting is instant (like PTS), then I want as many as I can get my hands on.

People get excited when they think they can make money quickly.    Making money 6 months from now is not nearly as exciting.

If you do decide to do a long or variable vesting period I'd strongly suggest testing it first.

Bytemaster.   my most recent payment was at 09:56 UTC today to address PhfcTjtCvfTrFkmVwa9VcaqTyCigPu8Gmp for .535178

Can you tell how many more transactions are still pending given this information?   

This is serving as an interesting datapoint on propogation delay IMHO.

Thanks again for the payout!

I have slowly been receiving the transactions.   The first one came right before my thank you response.    I have gotten 8 different payments since (17 total addresses).   So I'd guess we are about half way through the payout propogation.   

Bytemaster.   I just got payment on PfkBrBCfnS5N7pVoCR6fR4YPcjnLQjMUEq    Maybe that will help you see where we are.

Thanks again

bytemaster.   this is a smart move on your part and it is MUCH appreciated.   

I can imagine that it took a while to sort through the carnage and of course you have other things that are pressing.... or sleep!

Thank you.

thanks bytemaster.

any chance we will see payment from the mining pool yesterday morning?   Previous pool...

I am working on that one... the database is a real mess and I don't know how to sort it out fairly :(   

In total the pool had only a couple hundred PTS on its balance sheet, and everyone was paid up within 5 PTS because of automatic payments (pre-fork).

Post-fork, a lot of balances accrued but due to the crashes I was fighting I didn't earn much :(   

Bytemaster:   Did you ever make any progress on this database from alpha pool that crashed?   At the time I had 17 computers mining 17 different PTS addresses.   I believe I have between 40 and 80 PTS combined balance on that pool.   

I recognize you are a busy man but I'm hoping you can get this straightened out eventually.   The couple hundred PTS in that database are now worth thousands to the people that mined them.

Here are the 17 addresses I was mining:

I've done a small trade on coingrounds.   All went well.   sold some pts for btc.    now I am trying to withdraw the BTC and I get an error.   

Error:  Double check your address and wait 3 confirmations of your deposit.

Well I never deposited any btc so don't know what that is about.   also all trades were 12+ hours ago.   

What's the deal Silfax?    I don't want to do anymore trades until I know I can get my coins out.

TIA

Here's the full set of commands to compile and run this miner on ubuntu / linux:

#download the source files
git clone https://github.com/Tydus/jhProtominer -b linux-port

#change to the src directory
cd jhProtominer/src/jhProtominer/

#compile the code
make CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"

#run the new miner - don't forget to change the user.   my settings are for 8 threads at maximum memory (512m per thread)
./jhProtominer -o ypool.net -u craggietx.1 -p 1 -t 8 -m512

I am seeing 3x times faster if collisions/min is same as hpm on coyote miner

Nice work tyeken8!


PS.   I already had compiled the ptsminer on this server so I did not need any new dependencies.   you may need some of all of the below packages if compiling fails for you:

# Update & upgrade repositories and install build tools
sudo apt-get update
#&& apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential git

# Install ptsminer dependencies
sudo apt-get -y install libminiupnpc-dev libssl-dev libgmp3-dev libboost-chrono1.48-dev libboost-filesystem1.48-dev libboost-system1.48-dev libboost-program-options1.48-dev libboost-thread1.48-dev

# Get db4.8 source, compile and install
wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix
../dist/configure --enable-cxx
sudo make
sudo make install

# Tell your system where to find db4.8
export BDB_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include"
export BDB_LIB_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib"
sudo ln -s /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib/libdb-4.8.so /usr/lib/libdb-4.8.so
sudo ln -s /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.so /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.so

Does the fee change now or retroactively?

another exciting thing is the stability.   I've got 80 servers running coyote since the beginning and not a single crash.

I'm seeing about 5% crashes per hour on ptsminer against beeeer pool.
