Title: Mintsy is acting Strangely (Mintsy beta)
Post by: 3-tails on April 20, 2015, 10:56:56 PM
Everyone knows about Cryptsy the exchange and a few people know about their cloud mining service, Mintsy (currently in beta).

About a month ago I set up a worker, gave Mintsy my Cryptsy address for automatic coin transfers, and rented two rigs with an average of over 5 THS. I split my worker between UNB and BTC and waited. With both rigs running for 12 hours I got only .00000002 BTC on my account and nothing else. The mining calculator said I should have gotten around .028 in BTC alone from the 4.5 THS mining BTC. I checked my Cryptsy account and saw no transfers in so I knew my balances aren't ending up there- everything had been rejected.  I alerted the company and pretty much got a reply of"we know there's an issue and are working on fixing it before we get out of Beta" and that was all.

Well, seeing that things were borked, I didn't put any more money in and didn't aim anything at my worker. I figured that if they were aware of this bug and NOT warning people it was a shady signal and to keep away until it's launched if I return at all. A couple days ago coins started coming in to my Cryptsy account as if I was mining. I have received no messages that explain what this is. My account says some of it is a refund, but not all!

So here I am, mining with no miner on Mintsy and somehow making coins with a 100% reject rate. Is anyone else seeing weirdness like this?
Do you think it's a bug, Mintsy finally repaying me for the lost time, or a red flag of pyramid scam?

Hello everyone

I have to tell you my experience with mintsy.co to all forum... very bad, pure scam!

I bought a contract:

Duration: 6 Month (s)
Hashrate: 2.5 Th / s
Price: $ 949.00

And, in the six months ... received only $ 260.96

Do not invest in Mintsy.co, pure scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam...

Always inactive contract issue  :-[

It's a new cloud mining service in beta, strange things are bound to happen.

However, this looks very worrying. I never trusted Mintsy, simply because Cryptsy is partially behind it. But that's just a personal opinion.
