Bitcoin Forum

So I am on my blockchain account, and blockchain has a website link to "hashprime.com".

I click on the link and I see a site advertising a return on investment of 1.5% A DAY!!!!!.

The thought SCAM comes to mind real quick. But why is blockchain promoting them. Very confused, would love to hear from anyone that has stuck a small amount of money in there??? May stick in the minimum myself just to see it explode ($25 dollar minum).....

This is there main speal:::::

Wait, what? Where do you see this 'advertisement'? Are you referring to a dust payment you received that came with a public note, or was from a labelled address?

Nahh, when I logged into my blockchain account they show links to partners (like gyft etc). This was a blockchain partner site.... I do not think blockchain know what it is but I would like to know the story...

It's very strange .. but I think they are not *reponsable* ... it is only an ads.

Blockchain says it is there 'partner'. I generally consider blockchain to be pretty reputable....Thus looks bad to me...

Disabled AdBlock for Blockchain.info and Hasprime is there, I've seen publicity around for this website and I assumed it was a ponzi scam, well, is it legit?

I think it isn't legit ... it is an on obvious  *little* ponzi ::)

Lord received any payments yet ???

Nahh, I have no coins there, all my coins are safely buried under a tree in my backyard.

xD thought you had invested :P i was about to jump in is it worth the risk ...

By all means jump in, I enjoy watching lemmings.  ;)

I drop $25 buck on dice often enough, and it actually looks more fun then that (considering the high chance of getting scammed). But I really do not like feeding the scammers, so the moral dude in me is saying nooooooo.

I would love to know why blockchain recons they are 'partner' material. I find that real strange, I may send them a mail about it...

Yeah i saw them on BLockchain so this is either a very good marketing ploy or Blockchain being misguided

Hashprime looks like a ponzi to me. They are willing to invest a bit on marketing and grab as much coins as they could and run. They even started a signature contest and abandoned it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=799618.msg8995140#msg8995140

They contacted me about getting an App made. No replies in a few days.

i'm curious and log in to my blockchain to see that
and there is hashprime's link  in partner section
lol, why blockchain.info didn't review their new partner before make a deal about advertising :D
if hashprime (with ponzi scheme) become scam, maybe blockchain.info will be affected too

i open that site and it's reputation alread red

Funny how it's  called hashprime, sounds eerily similar to hashlet prime (a product from GAW).

These guys are almost like the Asylum (a film production company). They made great hits like "Transmorphers", "The Terminators", and "Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies".

Definitely not trying to mislead you into picking the wrong company.  ::)

i just seen the ad too in my wallet and i was shocked ... how can blockchain be a partner with such a site?  :o

the so called "WEBSITE PROTECTION" logos are fake too ... wtf ?

can anyone from UK verify their address ?

started up not too long ago 10/06/2014

any word from blockchain how the heck they promote a ponzi ?

Not, even some people asked troguth twitter to Nic (ceo) and the official user of blockchain and nothing...

I found this page public atm from hashprime, in theory are payouts..

I have some BTC on HashPrime. I will be allowed to withdraw in a few days, and will let you know how it goes.

My interaction with HashPrime
1. Alice emailed me asking for a quote for an App
2. I replied to this email with a quote and some more questions
3. Alice replied saying they forwarded to their devs
--- SILENCE ---
4. Two followup emails from me turned into a "We're really busy and will get back to you when we can"
--- Now ---

Look out!!

I have invested $503, 10 days ago on sep 24.

They mention at their front page that the money will be locked up for 10 days.
It's day #10 today, when I checked it to be cashing out today it says "6 days left"!!!

https://i.imgur.com/2IX8jD8.jpg?1

I now see they changed the lock up to 15 days!!

Look out I got a feeling this is turning out to be a scam.

I'm sure they had a good plan but because the bitcoin is going down hard they might be turning into scam!

Sent them a message via their contact form. They said they'd get back within 24 hours. If not, I'll email and call them.

Hate double posting, but different content

Their blog has an update  - https://www.hashprime.com/blog.html

The problem is that they just can't change the waiting time, when they say the deposit it back within 10 days than they should keep there word.

7 to 10, 10 to 15.

a couple of days in the crypto world is too much...

It's not the number of days. It's a terrible business practice. Maybe illegal (I know nothing of law in this manner)

Deposited 0.21 BTC in hashprime..

Yeah, the one payout they actually processed so far is BS.  They posted your username and their company name in the blockchain as a note.  If they ever start processing payments again I'm gone forever.  (It was worth the spin of the dice but it is more than obvious they are a giant scam or at least have no business ethics at all.)

I was able to withdraw $25 worth of BTC... seemed like a 100% manual process. Took over 24 hours

Thanks for the feedback, how many days since the initial deposit?

Websites like this and every rental/lease property advertisement on the planet are the reason why the word "prime" is becoming more and more devalued :|

trying to withdraw my earnings ($1.13).  let's see how long it takes.
will update here if it worked.

I withdrew the interest, the principle's still locked up.

people, stop sending them money, its a SCAM ... really ... use your brain ...

We know. But thanks.

Edit:
And that's it. Website is offline.

Website is down as of 1pm pst.  Curse blockchain.info for having this on their site.  What to do now?

Do? Nothing. Money is gone.
2fxltd.com is also offline btw.
Looks like we have a bigger Problem here.

I was referring to a non-newb account but yes I know it's gone but someone may know more.  Especially Blockchain.info, which the HashPrime.com is now gone as well off their site.

Scams like this one are giving cloud mining a bad name, but there's a good side to it. People will be more careful and aware of possible frauds.

How much do you have to pay to be a blockchain partner?
 

This is unacceptable! I'm completely disappointment about all these fraudulent and scams. Therefore I propose setup a task force or committee to investigation this fraud and all Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies related fraudulent. These corruption cases has been hazards long-term development of Bitcoin and every cryptocurrencies/digital assests. Appropriate action must be taken!

lemmings.... I see one lemming put $500 in, why not just put the $25 minimum bet? You get the same enjoyment out of being scammed without feeding to much to the scammer...lemmings... :o

I spent the last few days warning a handful of people a particular site is a scam and we shouldn't help promote it. Sometimes, people just wouldn't listen to warnings. I tried and was only half successful. People are easily blinded by greed.

These scams are hurting bitcoin growth.
