Title: 50btc.com ripped me off over 300 bitcoins no response from customer service
Post by: Jonnywadster on February 06, 2014, 10:51:01 PM
I've been using the 50btc miner and their service for a couple years now went through several different mining setups to achieve my balance.

I was literally about to payout and possibly go get a new car lol, then I saw my balance was 0

Any suggestions on what I should do before I take legal action and expose these scammers.

Thanks guys, I know a lot of people have had good experiences with 50btc, Myself being on of them with a different account with a much smaller balance less than 20 btc

Mine with p2pool in the future so you don't have to worry about having someone else with your coins.

But as far as they go, did you give them a few days to respond?  I'd be upset too.  Remember though that if you don't have the private keys, 'your' coins are really just a ledger entry.

I can't for the life of me understand why you would leave years of mining revenue with 50BTC or any pool for that matter.. That said how long have you given them to respond to any requests to correct the issue?

This. I'd never dare to leave more than $200 or so in a pool, fuck if I'd leave $200k+.

Why did you not withdraw to a private wallet!?

Yes it's been over 40 days since they have responded to me.

I emailed back, being a business owner myself I was being patient knowing how some people just freak out and want things done yesterday for free.
