I think people in this thread are more interested to hear how cociu treats his customers rather than my competence.
If he is really back in business, ask yourself when will he fix your vps if he does not move a finger for a customer with 100 dedicated.
Again, I work with him since 2019. Delays and lies I was used to, but running away if the money is something new.
See, that's your problem, you are only one customer and he's got your money. He can put out one fire with you or many fires by investing your money back into something he can sell to replace your money. In theory.
Annnnd now you have no sympathy.
My server is still in WHMCS. It seems it is from one of the (currently) announced IPv4 blocks. No credit, no uptime, no tikets. Ah, no refound either.
So, it works?
Me too, 1T storage vps disappeared and account credit was added.
Does anyone think that after 2.5 months of downtime @cociu will really recover?
This is LET.. sure..
His fans will do..
Only 4 months till Black Friday.
Time flies, flies fast
...
Recovering is impossible. He's working hard but it takes too much time. That means losing money. And he's hardly getting any because the free credits and people don't trust him like before. It's sad.
I'd like too see him recovering, but it's too late for that.
Next Monday maybe.
pretty much this. and it seems he is not even able to take care of existing clients that are not lowend but rather dedis or larger VMs. so without earning anything even cutting costs or selling assets won't keep you alive for long.
Yet the real reasoning behind the downtime and the 400 drives involucration remains to be told.
The weird thing is that much more services that the ones related to the involucrated storage cluster are offline (probably with hardware and IP blocks for sale)... Makes it harder to imagine how @cociu could recover quickly. He's probably loosing many customers that way.
Your storage cluster is offline but all your other customers are happy: fine, shit can happen.
Your storage cluster is dead and you deliberately kill the remaining services to make some quick cash without selling your crypto assets (unless they are long gone as well) - including the ones of your biggest customers - it's a totally different story.
Especially if the guys story above is true. Remember, @cociu confirmed that very user is a 'very large customer of his' or something to that affect.
Anyway, lets say @cociu went insanely cheap on these boxes at $100/month/ea. At 100 boxes that's still $10k he walked off with. We don't know what CPU was included, but it could easily be double that. I'd expect @cociu to ask for more than 1 month upfront if he's building all of this new.
Lets recap:
-- More IP's are going up for sale, I don't know the subnet size but even at a /24, current rate is $10k/ea+.
-- No redacted invoices have been provided showing the harddrives he supposedly purchased.
-- Some users have had their services restored, but it seems to be an extremely small handful.
At this point Chia's dead so drives are starting to hit the market and prices are coming back down to earth. 8TB's are $160 and falling.
He's sitting on a lot of cash and no proof of a single dime of it being spent to recover services.

@Francisco: nice recap
(I had begun to lose track of things)
And this ladies and gentlemen is the truth flat out in my opinion. Thanks a lot for just pointing out the reality. 2.5 months passed already and there is no real work nor effort in resolving the situation, I think in terms of time its more than plenty to fully resolve all the issues (maybe not the whole 400 drives failing issue since that looks to be related to cash but there are clear indications that he's made cash that could at least partially restore service).
By all means, if I missed something or I'm wrong, correct me, but I'm pretty sure I got the majority of it.
Francisco
Beware @jgs will call you a BS
You missed: Court drama, involucrated and Monday. Those seems like 3 keywords missing from that post.
Oh, also paypal frozen, but you can chargeback how much you want. You paid via card/crypto? Fuck you, not a word for you.
LET is turning into a turkish telenovel
Did you quit or not yet? I mean you haven't provided any updates for over a week now.
@Francisco
It's 'cociu', not 'cuciu'
Is there a brain damaging virus going around? My name is 'jsg', not 'jgs'.
And you are spreading BS. My own view is somewhat different from Francisco's but his interpretation is not baseless.
Why do 'mericans have such a hang-up on saying the word bullshit, yet other (worse) profanity is commonplace? Just saying.
>
I'm sorry, where did I write that? I'm pretty sure I spelt his name right on my latest replies...even on the previous ones.
If I did, my apologies, I know what it's like to have people butcher their name
Francisco
Who? I am tagging @jgs not you.
Is there a large market in Romania? Why use a provider on another continent if you are American? Especially one that offers little recourse when you get ripped off.
This is not to pick on you but just to demonstrate that my remark was correct. I btw. intentionally did not imply any (negative) motive.
BS again, (a) he's all capitals, and (b) he has posted 1 single comment so far, so there is no basis to expect any particular reaction from him.
You might "think" you are smart but actually the opposite is true.
