I'm not familiar with minerslab. How long ago did you place the order?

A discussion thread about minerslab has been open for almost 4 months now: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=883534.0
( tl;dr: doesn't look good )

Must have been an easy $11.5K to acquire.  I spend over 30 minutes researching a $200 computer part.  For a $11.5k purchase I would have vetted the company and used a credit card.

You sent $11,500 of BTC to some entity without even bothering to do any research beforehand?  What in the name of all that's holy were you thinking?

op what were you thinking?

It seems money is easily accessible to you though to spend that kind of money, esp paying someone all in bitcoin. I never even heard of that company before, but you should take the time to buy hardware from known recommendations like spoondlies or something or even bitmain thats been known for awhile now.

But you decided to take a gamble on a unknown provider?  ??? if you had paid this through c.c. I would said a chargeback would do, and youd be good but thats not even an option here either.

I dont think he was thinking at all, here.

It seems like someone told him about bitcoin, and got super excited and searched the words on google or something and ended up on the site and bought it spot on. Or just some idiot friend linked him a website to go on which he prob didnt do his home work either.

 I even asked some random dude I met on the net to send me pics of quadrigacx for .1 bitcoin before and .1 bitcoin after :)

Actually that might be a good idea, make a site or something where our community checks the actual location and verifies. Im sure our user base covers enough area?

Why would you get your miner via some unknown provider?

Well it is only money. Lesson learned 11,500 usd is not too bad.  Some people have been burned for 100,000

i have tried, they reply very fast. glad you shared that, would have gone for miners tomorrow..  :o

sorry for your loss buddy, you could report it or something.

Good luck recovering your funds. More reputable, less scammy places have paid out nothing before in similar situations, so you should prepare yourself for a total loss on your purchase.

No research on the bitcointalk forums.. prevention is better than a cure, next time just ask here for which companies people can buy... some sp 30 or some antminer s5 with 10k that would be a lot of hashing power.

He's trolling. I can't believe he'd make a new forum account here just to share with us how much money he threw away.
If by any chance this is real, start a thread in the section for scam accusations and maybe look for someone from the UK to visit them on your behalf.

This just screams scam...

Machines that efficient would've been the talk of the town if they were real.
Makes me sad to say this but your most likely out of your money...

OP hasn't responded, this was definitely a troll. Nothing to see here.

Hes not trolling he actually asked for help on the local forum, and actually received it from a well known bitcoin figure and member of the Israeli Bitcoin Embassy..

You know if they have a public wallet and you have the TX id, you could prove it was sent and try to talk to a lawyer about it.

Post up the details please.
Let us see the address belonging to them and where the coinage goes.

If you really want to know, put up the iNfO, and let the crowd go troll.

I think its probably an April fools joke. I don't think someone would really send that amount without doing some research about it.

It's clearly an April Fools joke, why is this thread getting bumped all the time?

I ordered the 20Ths miner and got this email:

Dear Fubly,

the miner is ready for next day shipping. Delivery will take 2-3 days to your address.

Regards,
Chang Preston


Now I answered that I pay only with L/C (letter of credit)


Waiting for minerslab answer.

Answer:

Dear Fubly,

in this case you will have to buy from an other manufacturer.
We accept only wire transfer and bitcoin. (lease read FAQ)

Regards,
Chang Preston
