Words like involucrated and refound are exempt of course.
we need more cupons
I hope not, @MikePT has a kid and 900 rescued animals to feed.

cause != result
The result is very poor and so is his how he acts. But I wondered why he acts the way he does and why he hardly communicates (wrt the downtime).
What more do you need in order to see this as a scam operation? Inaccessible website?
Downtime is nothing new for him. Major outages that last weeks aren't either. Infact at the start of the thread no one thought anything of it other than "it happens".
I mean, until the most recent actions (namely the sales email, and now the forged announcement), you seemed to take that very stance ("It happens, it's a cheap price, it'll be back").
There's no honor in any action he's taken. You agreed yourself, it's deceitful.
We'll wait to see if anyone reports being unable to make paypal payments. I can't see the guy not getting hammered with chargebacks over this. At least in North America, If you get past a 1% payments:chargebacks ratio, you're going to get canned and quick.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see what actually happens. Until then this is all just involucration/speculation. Good drama though.
LMFTFY
Are you insane? The Zeusgang had a turnover of multiple Billion dollars in stolen money, and the RBN added hundreds of millions on top....
Plus this groups are extremely tied to the GRU for foreign hacking, so it is not something you want to have right in your capital.
Sooner or later the PayPal account will be replaced and problem solved!

Not entirely down as you might think after reading all or most of the replies in this thread.
get @Jio ASAP.
Gladly, that's not the case. And he pays on time. We do need to get more NOC clients to expand that division.
That part sounds reasonable...but an electrical outage nuking 400 drives just seems off to me. I could understand logical data loss where data is gone and he provisions new systems, but 400 drives being physically unusable just doesn't ring true unless the whole DC was cooked.
It's possible he was speaking in haste but...
It was worth it.
Random thought, there could be 400 drives in the NetApp appliance, and he's planning to set up an entirely new system while trying to recover the data on the old one? Not 400 drives toast but enough that a straight up resync isn't going to work.
@cociu where the fuck are you? any update?
Maybe he is really Dracula and he have no clue of what he is doing ?
I think he knows what he is doing.
The issue is that we don't know what he is doing.
Now I have a habit to open this post everyday, I don’t know what to do after the servers go online
Plot chia once your server goes online.
That's obvious.
Honestly if this is oradea location, it seems totally believable. They're almost certainly all used servers, out of warranty, used ebay-equivalent spinning rust, and it isn't like high tier DC, as far as I've read from the past posts it's something closer to a warehouse?
I doubt there is A+B power, I doubt there is more than one PSU per server, and almost every single drive is spinning 24/7 at full tilt downloading torrents or chia, not a single parked head
not to mention the hilarious LET threads of cociu asking how to hook up aftermarket used UPS systems from turkey
please, jio plans are bullshit, the throttled data is so slow it cannot even load one gif
Comedy gold, right? The man withe the meme plan.
Along those lines, from an electrical perspective, any significant over-voltage (ie from a failed shitty Chinese UPS) would certainly be capable of frying involucrating 400 drives at once.
Yes, but that does not mean that his intentions were not honorable, nor does it mean that a strong sense of honor can't be the psychological cause for a behaviour that looks absolutely not honorable to the outside.
And I'll also wait to see if someone (and who) apologizes if @cociu somehow manages to get the situation under control (storage VMs running again) and if he does not scam anyone.
To again clearly state it: I'm not trying to cover cociu and I'm as angry as anyone wrt to the current situation and the way cociu handles it (extremely poorly). But I despise remarks that are guided by emotions, rumors, bashing, and unfair competition.
Same with me. But then I've already heard a lot of nonsense from non-techies totally misinterpreting what techies tell them.
Dafuq?
Many of us never said it was a scam or has evil intentions, just that there's a million things wrong with him and his business model where this was inevitable. He isn't technical. He doesn't have a background in running DC's. He relies on one tech (Adrian) for his design and support. The pricing doesn't factor in all the potential costs. He makes credit promos that question his business man skills. His best just isn't good enough.
Jsg thinks he can recover running same way as he has been, but I disagree in that he's not running a sustainable business, as evidenced by the critical hardware that didn't have spares available.
For the millionth time, you don't understand what scam means. Do you know cociu's intent? No, then stop being ignorant. You look stupid when you keep harping on about scams and you don't know what it is, yourself.
When talking about state sponsored Russia hacking on this site, you need video confession by one of the hackers as proof or else it'll just get called Western propaganda and treated like Putin attacks for no reason.
What on earth would give you that idea? There's nothing to suggest he even knows what day of the week it is.
