Yeah, has to be a honey pot. I would not have trusted it before, and certainly would not trust it now. Paying with Bitcoin is pointless if you're having things shipped to you, or at a location that can be tied to you, or shipped to someone who acts as a proxy to you who would/could identify you...

I think you have to have 100 posts to do it. That, or Martin did it for him.

It worked for me, and I didn't get the email. I just followed the URL when it was posted in IRC. <shrugs>

  Only 2/3rds of the total length of downtime was my fault :P   Glad the maintenance is over though. All three of my BuyVM VPSes are all on different nodes and each node has been upgraded so I don't need to stress over that anymore.

Ksplice is still a thing? I thought they closed shop years ago.

Exactly. I literally got started with $10 free credit. I think I matched it at one point by actually deposting $10 from my debit card... then someone in IRC a week ago posted a URL to $60 free credit... so I loaded that up... So in short, I've spent $10 of 'real' money for roughly $80 worth of...

Nice! I beta'ed it a while back and it did what it was supposed to do! Good to see it come out and looking forward to it getting more real world use. Everyone else, report back how it goes!

Haha. That's good and all but as far as I know they only hired one more person which is Nick O. :P He's a good guy though, a native English speaker and speaks it well. Used to work there when I did too. He'll be a solid addition, but this is hardly 'doubling' their support size. :P Nick also...

This was my thinking too, which is why I asked what provider(s) he uses. I suspect all card data would be hashed anyhow. Unsure what the process would be to transform it into anything useful. It's very strange that his card would be compromised and be used to purchase Virtual Servers if, say...

What all companies do you have servers with?

Who are the providers who offer cPanel licenses at a lower-than-usual cost? Not looking for any specific specs, just trying to see what options are available for cheap cPanel licenses. :)

Or better yet, http://git.vpsboard.com :)

Well, I think we've all learned enough today. If anyone wants to continue the conversation, feel free to utilize the Private Message feature and include other people to have a private airing of dirty laundry.

http://vpsboard.com/topic/2485-rfo-wednesday-november-4th/ Was scheduled maintenance combined with the server coming back 'online' with a lemon for a network config :)

Earlier today the MySQL server that is hosted with BuyVM went down for scheduled node maintenance. Their maintenance window was roughly around an hour. However upon coming back to life, the server remained unreachable. Total downtime of the MySQL server was roughly around 2 hours, 40 minutes...

Sorry, I want to keep this going a bit. I'll be around to make sure things stay civil.

That's a good deal. I may donate a bit tomorrow. I forgot to shave. If I get caught up on work I'm doing now I was planning on giving myself a haircut... so shaving would only tack on an extra few minutes to that. :)

Damn cat won't let me work. She keeps jumping up in my lap to take a nap.
