Hello dear,

I use scrypt.cc from 2014 and all is fine for me.
Check again.

I'll recommend Scrypt.cc:

http://scrypt.cc/banners.php?b=1&u=SgHH1IWcfvwFBqhzMczu7WhWqmMwBUde (http://scrypt.cc?ref=baaxD)

They have been running for a long time, and allthough the admin has been away for some time, he's back and things are changing and everything appears perfect!

I also have an automatic buy script which I use, as you can see my KH/s are increasing every 10 minutes because of this small script:

if(typeof __win=='undefined')var __win;if(typeof __timer=='undefined')var __timer;if(typeof __time=='undefined')var __time=6010;if(__win==null)__win=$('<div></div>').css({position:'fixed',top:10,left:10,'background-color':'white',padding:2,border:'1px solid black'}).appendTo('body').html('Re-invest in 600s');if(__timer==null){__timer=setInterval(function(){__time--;$(__win).html('Re-invest in '+__time+'s');if(__time==0){$('#selllist').find('label:eq(0)').click();$('#t1').val(($('#s2').text()/$('#t3').val())-0.0000031);$('#t5').val('PIN');submitBuy();__time=6010;}},1000);alert('Auto re-invest script has started!');}else{clearInterval(__timer);__timer=null;alert('Auto re-invest script has stopped!');}

To make this work use chrome or firefox (haven't tested on IE)

in the url field TYPE in " javascript: " and then copy/paste the script from above directly after. REMEMBER to change the " PIN " to your actual pincode for scrypt.cc

For this to work you MUST be in the TRADE section of scrypt.cc

I have been using Scrypt.CC for over a year.  My first purchase was Feb 17, 2014, that is hard to say you have been using a cloud mining service for over a year.  Either way, I have not had any issues with them and they have updated their site with more to come.

http://scrypt.cc/banners.php?b=1&u=1R37Wns85saw6E3gTg5vyQLifHr4oPKy (http://scrypt.cc?ref=baalo)

I have also written about them a bit on my site: http://btcvestor.com/cloud-mining-services/services/scrypt-cc/

Nice! Ive tried it and bought a small amount of 4,782 kh/s, and its working great!
Cool, I hope they stay clean, I bought a small 4,782 kh/s and its working quite nice. I'll check your site out too :)

not scam, but only disappointed. buy at price 0.0007 and now the price is 0.0000xx :'(

I bought some khashs at the start of 2014 and paid over .001 for them!  I've just kept buying more and more, very happy with the site and the admins so far.

Still work fine for me, but the profit is not really worth, well the important thing is the site is not scam

I started investing in Scrypt.cc today, let's see how it goes.

Is anybody else using this Script and can confirm it works?
Does it always reinvest on the actual lowest Buy Price or how does it work?

It would be nice if anybody could tell me more about this, I'm no programmer :) Thanks!

If anyone else saw, they divided chat into language groups. Also they added auto invest, it works offline also. I tried out auto invest and it works pretty good, you can decide for it to buy at certain prices, or just have it buy at the cheapest price.

Finally can stop my script now :)

PBmining was a similar operation that ran for about a year until it's owners stoped paying people...

Made about a 0.4 BTC deposit to test them out

http://scrypt.cc/banners.php?b=1&u=AdQx74YLyuA6fC8unJNLgu7ggFb81rh5 (https://scrypt.cc?ref=baj1U)

I was started with cca 0.1 BTC. Let's see how it would be:

Has anyone asked any photos? Anything? Any transparency at all? How do you know they re legit?

Like P4andora said, don't invest what you aren't prepared to lose. Also, I heard the owner might update the site in April and add photos, but don't take my word on that part.

Where did you hear this from?

Where did you hear this from?

Has a anyone traced back a payout to an actual mined block? Guessing that at least a part of the hashrate should be pointed at LTC?

They're supposedly mining with 1200GHS now (including the user's hash and their own hash). I am struggling to see what coins they are mining, other than LTC, that are a) profitable enough and b) have the hashrate.

Anyone got any ideas what they are mining?

Admin has stated that they own 850GHS, I`m not sure where you got 1200GHS from. And since their last update on the pool and switcher, they are mining over 10 coins at a time.

They had 850, but then added another 350 in the last week, which they havent yet sold.

They might be mining 10 coins, but which?

They had 500 and added 350. Got this straight from the Admin in the trollbox.

it is not a scam but i m sure it s a ponzi. The one of the best ponzis :) There is no cloudmining site  mining in real, maybe just 2 or 3. But none of them give a nice earning. İf you get your ROI , run away quickly :)

You saying a ponzi isn't a scam?

Ponzi is not a scam. Ponzi is a gamble. at Ponzi You know the risk and you win or lost your money . But scam is a cheating. You dont know it s a scam .

Ponzi = You win or lost like a gamble
Scam = You ll be swindled and lost your money.

Lol. I know what you're saying, but a ponzi is most definitely a scam.

If the manager is calling it a ponzi and explains that you can win big or lose big, that's not automatically a scam. If the manager somehow clouds the statement that it's a ponzi, it is by all means a scam :)

Yes, and this manager isn't calling it a ponzi

So we don't know if for sure yet ;)

Here is a payout if someone wants to start digging: https://blockchain.info/address/1EtGygKVH8aTwdEVxXPav5SRMVJUccCEjW

It got fed 100 BTC from this address: https://blockchain.info/address/1HWqsgnSd12Gv8SpoUMi1Cj8hp79BTSpW7

There are a few worrying signs creeping in for me.

The fact that the top 20 users are holding 300GHs (60%) of the total hashrate. Combined with the fact that the ranking has disappeared for users outside of the top 20, making it impossible to calculate how much hash might be found between you and the top 20.

Their ASIC's got pulled off the power today. See whats happening to the hashrate: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/difficulty

Would it be linked? Or just a coincidence?

I don't see that anything has happened (outside of normal patterns)? There's certainly not 850GHs missing.

Is stupid

The difficulty has dropped a lot https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/difficulty

Update (12/05/2015): We have decided to move the miners from DC#4 where we had the electricity issues to DC#2 where we house our old GPUs, We have already started the move and we will be mining within the next 48 hours.

Update on the scrypt page after logging in.

The drop could be because of Scrypt.cc being down. Apparently they're not just in that datacentre.

DC#2 (the GPUs) were supposedly shut down weeks ago due to not being profitable. Only DC4 (the ASICs) were running. 850GHs of them.

Well, if the electricity is affordable there, who cares where the ASIC's are running. Though I'm quite curious what type of hardware they use.

Yes, you ll find that one out. As soon as LTCgear starts paying....

is scrypt.cc scam or not. i am poor.i want to invest 500$. please advice me

If you can't afford to lose 500, don't invest it.

This is all nice and dandy but it s obvious they are over profitable. No current miner can provide 60 days ROI and they cannot explain it. So, in one word, SCAM!!!

i believe that script.cc is going to be a scam someday next...like i believe about bitcoincloudservice...

•   allows people suspected of committing an offence overseas under sections 5 (preparation of terrorism acts) or 6 (training for terrorism) of the Terrorism Act 2006 to be prosecuted in the UK

you were never good at math, were you?

currently, scrypt.cc pays 13.3831 satoshi per KH/s
this means approx. 0.00013383 BTC/MH/day

current LTC profitability is 0.00032946 BTC/MH/day

so, all expenses are covered and you get paid
and you would probably be paid less than what the mining power you hold actually produces, at current prices

only thing you could do better, is to get the equipment, set it up and actually mine yourself those coins

Edit: and don't expect them to "explain" what is obvious, only a moron would ask them to "explain their profitability". Numbers clearly show that you get paid approx. 1/3 of what the mining power you hold is producing, if not even less. I wonder who is the idiot that started claiming that "scrypt.cc is over profitable" in the first place - and you all started saying the same thing as parrots.

and now deduct energy/operating/Hardware Cost and you will see that profit is hardly possible.
Espacially with the Backgroud that some People from Brazil reported that:

a) to get Miner into Brazil is a fucking Adverture and they often Stuck in Custom and you have to pay like 100% Tax
b) The electric Rate "Admin" claim to have are no realistic in that area of Brazil or in Brazil in general.

That is, and pardon my French, bull :)

In the real world you're in serious trouble if you handle large amounts of money without a decent KYC procedure.

For example the UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/serious-crime-bill


This goes as far that if you're delivering a service (say, exchanging 0,25 BTC for LTC) for someone who acts on behalf of a UK Ltd, but lives somewhere else and has no ties with the UK, YOU as exchange can be prosecuted for aiding terrorism if that person has links with "supposed" terrorism. Unfortunately that's not too far fetched and that's why a lot of exchanges for example have ramped up KYC procedures.

Well, I would say with 95% change there re gone. However, the guy asked users NOT to deposit anymore and stated the hacker mostly stole their BTC. That s a bit strange behavior for a ponzi. Maybe they do come back, who knows.

not scam, but only disappointed. buy at price 0.0007 and now the price is 0.0000xx :'(

that a huge decrease investmen how many you buy ghs in scrypt cc ?

Pull your money out as fast as you can.

Never try to catch a falling knife.

June 22, 2015 - Around 24 hours ago, I (Marcelo Santos AKA Admin) was finishing our server upgrade, We've been doing the switch step by step for the past two weeks. The last part was the accounts database and the trade engine. I put a notice up here around the time I was finishing the switch, users that were online at the time probably noticed. After I completed, I ran a upgrade on the new server and left on a personal trip with my family in which I was unreachable until now.

Around 14 hours ago our database was breached, the hacker credited himself BTC and KHS and withdrew BTC until our withdraw wallet was empty. He then proceeded to make suspicious orders in the market in which the market automatically turned itself off. This sent a alert to myself and other support staff, one of them seeing what was happening but not being able to do much as he does not have back-end access, he enabled our "Panic" mode in which put the whole site on lock down. But the hackers still managed to gain access and steal the coins from the hot wallet and the backup withdraw wallet.

Bad news: We had a large amount of BTC stolen, most of which were ours.
Good news: Our server runs hourly database backups and a backup was made minutes before their first attack and right before the lock down. So all user information is safe.

The site will stay online while we investigate further and plan out our next steps.
Balances will show 0 for the time being as we work on the database.

According to the blockchain some users are still depositing into their accounts, DO NOT MAKE ANY MORE DEPOSITS since the hackers still have access to the hotwallets.

Please have patience and I'll keep everyone updated as we execute our next steps.

Update: Aside from the stolen coins, there's no other damage done. We have found the entry point and we're ready to move on. We're in the progress of installing a new server and should be back in business within a week.
There's a lot of speculation regarding KHS/BTC balances, all balances will be rolled back to the last backup before the lock down.
You will be forced to change your emails, password and PIN upon your first login. (These are hashed but it's good practice to reset after a breach like this).
It was a big blow, but we'll come out stronger then ever. We appreciate the patience and all of the kind words we have recieved. I'll update as we make progress.

knife is not falling anymore
If the site comes back and if we are able to make withdraws, we will see

I would counter and say that the knife is still falling until the site comes back and you can make withdraws.

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

Yes, it was my way.

Latest update from the site:

"June 29, 2015 - Tomorrow (June 30, 2015) at 09:00 (Brasilia) All users will be prompted to change usernames, PINs and passwords. The system will remain in lockdown until July 1, 2015 09:00, at this time the lockdown will be lifted and trading, withdrawing, depositing and mining will resume. We apologize for missing our ETA date, the audit took longer then expected."

If everything is okay, I will cite another song than "My Way". Or perhaps not. Just change the bold part might due.

I have still not my KHS  back!!

I can confirm that the site is almost fully operational

Mining, trading and deposits/withdraws are resumed, everything seems to be ok

There is an issue with referrals, they still don't appear on my account at least

Also, mining rewards are slightly reduced, to compensate the site's losses

Edit: the old deposit addresses must never be used again. Scrypt.cc 's admin says the private keys may have been compromised, so everyone must use a new deposit address from now on.

someone has an emailaddress of the scrypt.cc admins??
my khs are still not back!!  ??? ??? ???

I have asked somewhere else on this board if there are any legit scrypt cloudmining site with some decent power? Hashnest/Bitmain has stopped but Bit-x still has theirs.

Anyone here knows a scrypt cloudmining site that is not a ponzi (when analyzed with Puppet's criteria)...?

Hello dear,

I use scrypt.cc from 2014 and all is fine for me.
Check again.

Scrypt still mistery. But i like scrypt.cc  :)

How are you so,sure that they do not mine?

scryptcc
scam ?
yes or no ?

If the site is paying does that mean they are not a scam? The answer to the OP's question depends on what is scam to him? If you go to the thread of Scrypt.cc a lot of investors in Scrypt.cc claims that site is still paying and they can even show a transaction ID, question is where is the payment coming from?

Fraudulent Misreprentation
Under contract law, a plaintiff can recover against a defendant on the grounds of fraudulent misrepresentation if (1) a representation was made; (2) that was false; (3) that when made, the representation was known to be false or made recklessly without knowledge of its truth; (4) that it was made with the intention that the plaintiff rely on it; (5) that the plaintiff did rely on it; and (6) that the plaintiff suffered damages as a result.

The law in question is not US-specific, fraudulent misrepresentation exists in the criminal code of most, if not all, legal jurisdictions.

I find it astonishing that people can be so quick to throw money at these scams and yet claim to be totally at a loss as to what to do when it rips them off. Contact law enforcement in your own country, file a case.

These criminal scumbags count on you to do nothing. Register your complaint as a crime of fraud and there's a chance at least that something will be done, especially considering that the scrypt.cc website is still live.

Well it is better to do something which might result in the information being passed to a relevant authority, than to simply walk away and let the criminals keep your money without consequence.

These people will travel at some point, this is the information age. Eastern European and South American Law Enforcement issues aside, multiple complaints filed by people all over the globe would end up being recorded on central crime databases, such as Interpol and FBI. There are even online points of contact for people to file criminal complaints.

Stop being so lazy and dismissive.

scrypt.cc is my worst  experience
almost 6btc vanished....
it is my fault ...in cryto world no place for stupid naive people.
i thought there is some good in  human nature....pffff
cryptocurrency it just remove the masks and shows us how ugly we are as a specie
i hope we will be all extinct from this planet very soon...

PSA: Scrypt.cc is guilty of Fraudulent Misrepresentation, a crime in every financial jurisdiction in the world. Anyone who has lost money buying or selling their fictitious 'KHS'/'MHS' token is legally entitled to recover their funds back in full.

Hi. Anyone knows if there is a group I can join, or a list to add my name for attempts to recover lost BTC from this scam?
