Hi

Is this a scam?

http://holybitcoin.com/

Thanks

Sometimes I wonder if these are actually just advertising techniques.

It looks like a generic website, but one thing to note is that the live chat is fake. I messaged them and haven't gotten a response for a while. Sure, they might respond every once in a while, but they're maintaining a fake 24/7 appearance.

The latest review that I could find for their website goes back to 2014 http://www.scamaider.com/holybitcoin.com-review.html  meaning you need to take necessary measures if your going to use their services... Honestly for myself, I wouldn't trust them , something is not right plus a lot could change since then (once a good website, now a scam website) so be careful

More likely yes. I don't even know the site and I am quite sure that 99% of members in here doesn't even know it.

We are getting alot of questions like this and just like bitcoin revo said, I think this is just their way of advertising their scam page.

I just saw its bitcointalk announcement thread and it seems there are mixed reviews about the site. Check it out by yourself:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=584597.msg12177842#msg12177842

The OP/owner was last active yesterday, maybe you can contact him for support.

Hello Everyone,

 Thanks for the inquiry, probably wouldn't do much good to vouch for myself and claim that I am legit. However I am one of the last bitcoin miner sites, that is US based, that has been around for 2 years, and still accepts paypal, and credit card for payments. Just not alot of inventory left in stock due to recent price jump of BTC going up $100.

Probably not alot of people have one of these in hand yet.

I have purchased in excess of $20,000 from HolyBitcoin and everything has always went perfect.  HolyScott is always available to chat about products and help out.  Also, he ships out within 24-48 hours every time I have ordered. 

I think Finsky's thread in the Marketplace mentions that HolyBitcoin is the distributer for J4bberwock products.

yeah I've dealt with Scott from Holybitcoin quite a bit and was always 100% satisfied, great communication and packages everything up perfectly for safe shipping

I know this is an old post but would like to update some reviews I have purchased over 15k worth of mining eqe cables etc. etc. and only ever had one issue with equ. Which happened during the holidays and we as everyone was quite busy and had a hard time catching each other online. Even then once we did get caught up Scott made it right and I could not ask for a better person to deal with. In a time of scams every place holy bitcoin is a safe haven. If you do some searches for that name and holyscott you can find a blog that talks about his life. In general he seems like a real stand up dude and I wish him all the best.

But isn't it weird that there's only a few reviews about them even though they've been in business for years (since 2013 according to whois)?

Furthermore the site itself is outdated in terms of design and connection security, not to mention it's also anonymous (see whois links below)

Another paid schill here to spread lies and put somewhat legit claims that the website or the owner can be trusted? HMMM

Unless you can post the proof of your purchase? 15K worth? Doesn't sound any alarm and try to justify the "holiday" argument everyone is busy? Sounds dodgy to see.

And I agree with @Potato Chips, ne decent review that you can find around and out of nowhere you pop up with all this claims.

The design of that website is not properly organized and another one the picture of the items seems captured on a bedsheet or in his bed that is sketchy plus the images of the items is blurry that website doesn't seem to be active anymore. Becarefull when dealing with this site IMO i wouldn't even bother on a half assed website clearly created by an amateur.

I honestly find it funny people claim this site’s a scam. Scott is active in the community (he even has a Bitcointalk account if you still think this is a scam, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35090) and I bought an SP20 and several other miners from his site in the past, and he’s always online for support. The site’s not as modern as other sale sites, but it’s most definitely legit. He even helped me set up my miners when I got them (I was inexperienced with flashing SP20 firmware at the time). He was even an 'official' retailer for the Compacs and 2Pac miners.

I still have the SP20 in my basement and I can pull up the invoice for the order for you guys if you want. I’ll include my BCTalk name in it as well when I get home.

I don’t know why you'd make an incredibly uninformed post about the site. Scott was one of the first to make a legitimate site selling hardware, and many people can vouch he is legit here. The fact that you pull the paid shill argument out of your ass is absolutely pathetic.
