Sounds like BitCoin is being used to pump micro payments to "homeless".  These homeless are equipped with laptops and spend the day siphoning power off unwitting property owners. They watch YouTube videos to inflate views and click on content, for pay, in BitCoin. The story is a bit fuller...

Colocrossing has the house VPS front company running for, oh three days now as the last offer. No offer bias on LowEndBox :)  Yeppers, ChicagoVPS is lingering like a rotting corpse in the summer sun.  Total stop action public trainwreck. The comments on the LEB offer are horrendous and Fabozzi...

So, I've tried lots of VPS providers over the years, my work causes some of that and my interests some more of it.  Most providers, well, they sucked.  Occasionally, I get these friendly emails to come back and see how much they've learned and believe us, all is great pep speeches. This one...

Some fun info about Colocrossing for today. The reason Colocrossing can't offer IPv6 and has delayed setting up BGP sessions (See Crissic's LA departure thread) is because they don't actually have a large  core router. Instead, they use switches similar to the photo below as their "edge...

Just wanted to say great work to the advertisers on vpsBoard.  Some really good looking ads on here.  Way better than what I recall seeing (when I saw ads) on LET. Looking forward to see the rest of the ads up soon and similar quality.   No cougar ads please.

These mouse pads thrown over in the corner aren't cutting it for mousing around.  My smooth desktop surface isn't very optimal either. Anyone use/recommend a large mouse surface they are thrilled with?  Looking for something ideally upwards of 2ft x 2ft.

I continue to be amazed at the apparent weakness in the market.   The best sign of weakness is folks jumping into the price wars or outdoing everyone else with unbelievably low give away prices. Swiftway, a well known dedicated server and colo company has lowered the bar beyond where anyone...
