Bitcoin Forum

What happened::

50BTC.com (member) ran 50BTC.com mining pool.  On about October 18 2013 the pool stopped payouts of mining earnings.  Suspiciously, this was right after an announcement that they would be switching to DGM reward method from PPS.  50BTC.com (member) has not been on the forum since October 28, 2013. 50BTC.com claims pool was conveniently hacked and all mining earnings were lost.  Lack of communication and avoiding questions from pool members makes the situation appear very fishy.

{updated Dec 20 2013}

I lost about 0.05 btc.

26btc mined
26btc showed paid out (but was never paid) assume stolen

7 in process since October (the only amount i could the day of the attack)

PISSED!

I had 91BTC in there. 3 payouts are still processing. Seriously fucked without this and I don't think I will ever see it again.  :(

82 btc
42 in process since 19/oct
the rest 40,44 is still in my account.
i'll donate to them 2,44 if they will give back my btc.

59 BTC missing here.

Lost about 3 BTC, payout stuck in processing.

71 btc still in process since beginning of November.

I will spend them 1 btc (7 were already Stolen).
But i want my btc back asap

Yes, there is no status update from them for a while now but I think it’s a little bit early to start a scam topic. Think for yourself:
- why are they communicating at all (through Bitcointalk status updates, Skype etc.) ? If it was a scam they could’ve just shut everything down and disappear. There is no logic here.  Maybe they’ve frozen payments and using our funds on mtgox, btce or smth.
- probably their brand due to the large amount of users is worth much more than they’ve lost during the hack, so there is no point in leaving such product behind.
- they had a good reputation and have been a largest pool for a long time. Yes, they’ve lacked stability, but everything else was fine
- 50BTC.com hashrate only a couple months ago was amongst top3 bitcoin pools

Also I assume there are a lot of processes going in the same time in 50btc: coding, testing etc. so there is not much time left for support and public relations in general.  I guess everybody here knows that 50BTCs’ “2 weeks” are not 2 weeks at all… I still hope they will return my 2.15 BTC.  :)

classic scam tactic.  many scammers do this.  I'd refer you to pirateat40.


Now you are just being silly.  Do you have any idea how much they walked off with?

JackPatrick,

Based on your post history, I have to surmise you are a 50btc shill? Sorry.. I have no loyalties to any pool.

I got to say, I'm stunned at the amount of btc people are leaving with pools.  I have to think that people leaving that amount of coin in the hands of pools and their pool operators is part of the reason for pools being able to pull off shit like this.  Hasn't anyone heard of daily withdrawals?

i lost about 0.73 btc on that pool.
i doubt i will see them ever again

I know it's like at your job, if you had the option to get paid daily and you tell your employer, "naw, go ahead and hold on to that for me...thanks."  ::)

Qbert, based on your history, you are just a regular hater

Nah, not a hater ;)  Just an "personality" that likes to keep tabs on scammers ;)

The weren't worth $1000 a pop at the time. I now it's really stupid, I was just withdrawing what I needed when I needed it. Of course I feel like an idiot!

Meh, I had about 13.37036 in Heaven Sent Gaming's account there. And 8.5731 in my personal account there. Those coins were mined late last year to early this year. I usually try to have top tier mining equipment, so this is a small fraction of Bitcoin I've had.

According to the corrupted database I had BTC150+, lol I'm rich! Just kidding, this is why I keep a physical ledger of all my Bitcoin transactions. All other users should do the same, or try to maintain a personal record outside of your wallet. Also, backup your wallet in a safe place, not just the default spot on your system drive lol. (external hdd bitcoin wallet ftw!)

I used to mine at 50BTC, deepbit, and slush's pool. Then, in February, I switched to BitMinter. As a long time supporter of Bitcoin I can tell you that I've seen quite a few fallen Bitcoin pools and sites. This one probably won't be one of 'em.

50BTC is a great pool! And I'm sure they'll correct this, and payout the majority of lost funds to people. If they do, I can guarantee you the majority of people will switch over to using their services.

I had around 31 BTC on the website, I feel stupid for leaving them on the website, but I do hope I can get them back somehow

How in the world is it possible to leave 31 BTC on this website? Why?

Holy shit, you guys leave THAT much online? I don't understand why you're so lazy to take 10 seconds to transfer them out every other week. It's like getting a paycheck from work.

i'm too waiting for a payout, in my case it's nearly 20 bitcoins.
and i'm too not sure about 50btc ever coming back again.

 -andy-

ive forgot of this pool and lost around 60BTC.

So sorry to hear about this guys. I can imagine the stress this would cause.

While I am not defending 50btc, a good amount of the users here are probably ones with the affected balances. When I logged in a few weeks back, it showed me having over 140btc. Thats not possible because I did not mine anywhere close to that or have the hardware too. even right now it says Im owed 1.25btc.


Do the math here and see how long these claims would take. and what type of hardware you would need.

I had about 0.024 BTC there :(

The sum was substracted from my balance but nothing has arrived, nor has a mail and a support ticket been answered.

I doubt the validity of most of them numbers being thrown out here.  I'm sure there are a few who lost coins in the double or tripple digits, but I doubt it's newly registered November and December 2013 bitcointalk users.

Most of the heavy hashers are older members, then again they would also know not to use the pool as a piggybank.


I think people are posting the corrupted database numbers.  By that record I am owed about 180+ coins, but in reality I think I had less than 0.1 on there as it was my failover pool.

Why you think i am new to mining only i have not registered in this forum till november? thats not an evidence, thats only your opinion. But why should i register when i get all informations i need for free and without registration?

2.93 BTC

Hey
I just registered to post also my numbers of 50BTC.com

I installed the miner last year and after some time just forgot about it.
2 weeks ago, cleaning up my documents, i found the registration datas and checked my account.

Due to the Shares there should be arround 85BTC.

In the dashboard is written that 30 allready payed out...but I can't see this transaction in
the payout area...normal?
Rest of 55 I ordered payout last weekend, still pending status.

And yes...i'm really pissed that I didn't check or found my lockin datas before.

I would love to see your math on this. What type of hardware did you use btw? Im curious so I can have something to compare my own numbers too.

P.S. If my math and my own payouts from the pool are correct. from Decmeber to july, the most you could get from a 24hr period per 400mhs gpu was 0.012 and that became less than 0.01 around march. Thats bassed on a single worker and payout records for that work during that time.


Edit: So at 0.012btc a day per gpu, and no difficulty change, you need to be running 34+ gpus non stop until the pool closed from december for 85btc.

Shure, possible that my numbers are wrong.
I'll be back home mid next week.
So should I post Screenshots from dashboard and payout Tab?

As I wrote i didn't Log in for several month, so I'm not shure
what's real value is.

I added these guys, we have about 4 complaints separate from here I think that's grounds to build community awareness.

http://bitcoinscammers.com/50btc-com/ (http://bitcoinscammers.com/50btc-com/)

for example i was having 30*5970, 20*7970 and 20*7950...

Love to see some pics of that. Sounds impressive. How did you overcome the power issues of getting it from the street to the site? Thats a huge amount of amperage being pulled down through your box.

is quite simple.
i have a warehouse outside the city.
4 cables with a diameter of 20mm for phase.
4 automatic fuse(45A each) on each cable.
the big problem was the heat and the dust!!!
now i'm still having the 7970 and 7950...the gpu mining is dead...
the btc left in 50btc was my last ones...big mistake it seems

I have about 4.5BTC there in total on two different accounts

Not very up to date on things, are you...
Last week my 9 7970s mined as many BTC (indirectly) as someone running a 250 GH/s ASIC.

What's even better, the difficulty of altcoins is not going up nearly as much as BTC, while the conversion rates are pretty stable. So GPUs have been creeping back up to asics, though the power issues are obviously real (imho offset by the dual use and therefore safety of GPUs)

you are right...that's way i still have the 7970 and 7950  ;)

I didn't log in to my 50btc a lot, but I had about 700BTC sitting in there, maybe a week before, my balance was 750BTC, when the theft happened I logged in and my account balance was 766928.51230298 BTC.

Now when I try to log in ALL I get is "A record with the supplied identity could not be found."

I can only assume this means they've deleted my account.... honestly for almost 1mil USD I want blood, I want to seize his assets, I want him in jail for theft and fraud, this kind of shit NEEDS TO STOP HAPPENING IN THIS COMMUNITY.

I have trouble believing anyone would blissfully leave 75 BTC on a site like that, never mind 750.

It's like leaving a duffel bag with a million bucks lying on the back seat of your car while you park it in a dark alley. People just don't do that, so 99% of the stories are BS and the other 1% is extraordinarily stupid.

Yeah, and there are 50 % of people who we're trusting this poll and their owners..
So believe it or not but some left >50 BTC there..

Maybe if you are a new person to BTC, I have had at points in the past, had pools holding over 25000BTC for me, granted prices were under $0.10 at that time, I got lazy and didn't have auto payments sent, I was using 50BTC as my wallet, I had been using them for sometime and was stupid to trust them, I was also figured holding me BTC in the website, and using that to purchase my next round of miners from 50btc's store was going to be a good call, currently I have have enough rack space to mount approx 4-6 units units, depending on if I relocate some of the switches and other stuff that needs to go away.

Again I was stupid, I just lost almost 1mil at current values, at the time that, a coin was worth what Approx 125USD? Again this would of been almost 100k, but in my defense most of that was going back to 50BTC to buy more ASIC.

Again at the time I was LOOKING at putting 60-90k into CoinCraft Rigs....


TL/DR: I am stupid

11 btc for me, it'd be an amazing Christmas surprise if they were to return some of the coins, but I doubt it :(

well, i can log in just fine.

and what the fuck were you doing leaving that much, hell, even a tenth of that much, sitting on a pool, in a wallet you don't control?

I can log in, but any attempts to withdraw a balance meets with "Some Error has occured"

Like others, I used 50btc.com as an 'overflow' since they opened.. and I've been mining 24/7 for a long time... when btcguild, eligis, etc, had issues, i'd fail over.. trickling all the way down to deepbit. I hadn't even thought about it..but I logged into 50btc and it shows:


Checked deepbit, and I had 4.5 btc sitting there unclaimed.. removed it.. happy day..

Point being, I think the 68 btc # is accurate for me, and when BTC was $5, I didn't care, so I didn't check. Now I care..

same for me man.. i wonder why none of admisn of thsi forum react.

I mined 0.0492 BTC on them, still didn't get withdrawal yet, will I ever get it?
Or have they stop paying forever?

sorry for the loss of Bitcoins folks.  Can't believe someone would just run off like that, some serious nerve is need for a move like that.  Glad some of you were able to recover your coins.

Yeah, These idiots will pay! We are trying to find out their next front as we chat and try to warn the community as soon as it pops up.

Yeah , sometimes people trust the wrong guys with their money.
A quick visits to the lists of biggest scams thefts "hacks" would show most people how trust turns into dust when money are involved.
But I wouldn't say 99% , more like 50/50

I think the people here only want their money back which they've eraned in months or years.

@Bitcoin Scammer

what you exactly mean with your previous post?

@newguy

We are currently on the trail of their new site opening and will call them out and try to get users money back.  That's what I mean.

They are opening a new site?
What is the Domain of their site?

I lost 44.25356966 btc on that site that didnt even Belong to me

it belonged to the Company that i was testing a Miner for ( Currently under NDA so i cant disclose more then that )

I was supposed to the the Funds to the Company who owns the miner

now facing Legal issues due to being unable to send the company the funds

thats the as what i was thinking. hell you can set this thing called auto payout and it sends the btc when you get to that amount... im seriously concernd about hero memberes loosing so much. it you may find this offencive but its your own damn faults...

also i dont thin 50btc.com user would be the admin of the site and will already have an account. not create one a few months old

Look here is my situation probably like most of us that lost out. I got my first 7970 around May 2012 and paid out the ass for it at the time. I mined around the end of May beginning of June 2012 on 50btc which was my very first pool. Bitcoins were like 9-10 dollars at the time so when I started mining, I though this wasn't going to be very profitable. So I quit mining and left my btc on the pool. Pretty much forgot it there. Until ASIC were released and bitcoins started to go up in price did I revisit mining again. Simpley forgot about the coins on the pool until I started mining again.

Roughly around 15BTC lost here. Mined with an Avalon at 80Ghs during the couple of months before they got hacked.
I kept mining with them for a couple weeks after the payouts were seized, hoping they will come good but they didn't.

My account showed 260BTC, however i know this is a false amount..

Guys dont come here and say.. I remembered i to log in after 6 months and i found 87BTC which wasnt paid out..
This is Bullshit, their stats are wrong, and you more than likely didn't have the BTC the the Database showed.

No he didn't have 31BTC sitting in his account.  Remember the pool stats were really screwy before they closed the old site.  It said I had a 300+ BTC payment pending but I never mined that much in my entire history on the site and I had a GPU farm and some ASICs.  He probably had 1 or 2 BTC on there.

It is possible for a new user with 10 posts to have a pantload of ASICs, but the reality is most of the power players would be the ones who already ran GPU farms as they would have the infrastructure to run Avalon and Jupiter farms.

I lost about 4.7 btc there. Just was too stupid not to have enabled automatic payouts.

Auto payouts didn't necessarily matter, because payouts stopped before the funny business happened in earnest.

7.6784 in my balance at the time of the 'hack'.
8.0000 in "pending" payout.  Never happened.
So I guess that's 15.6784. Whee.  great.

Account balance went to something like 8000~ ridiculous after the "hack".
Both my balance and the pending payout got cleared.

~77btc payment stuck since october

I had a 73.41224638 payment processing that is now gone.

My account was almost to the minimum payout amount when the site was hacked so that means I lost almost 0.1 BTC.

Or was the minimum payout 0.01 ?   I don't remember.

thegoldbug

Confirmed scam, Sorry guys. Hopefully these idiots get caught before re-setting their site up on another domain.

They have not returned a single question i have sent them since 12/09/2013

and then it was nothing more then

"Hello Internal testing is still in progress, we have a few touches left to add up. As we mentioned before we'll notify you as soon as user beta starts. "

Will an ADMIN scammer tag them now?

So many scammers in the market, Because of these we people is having hard time whom to believe and whom not.

Well 24 hours have passed and 50btc.com has Failed to Get intouch with me or start paying back members so i have no Choice but to Post the info i have found about them

I think a Nice subpoena to Moniker to produce their Owner Records and ALL contact info they have to the courts will gladly be complied with since they Are a US based company, Do you really think they want to be part of a International Fraud Crime case???????

I think not

As they stated here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=48525

i Only own 47,56 BTC (without calculated Payouts).

So it must be about 40-45 BTC what they scammed from me. Please correct it in first post.

Wow, Hot Damn Sorry

Same with me, that's crazy, all have same issues with that strange and very popular pool

I am wondering if they stopped giving payouts in Oct, why you guys didn't posted about them before 

We've been posting at first it was told to use they got hacked, then we started to speak up more after they told us we'll nver see our coins.

Look, they even have announcements on their website.

What a bunch of *****.

https://50btc.com/

And they removed german language from their site. Clever.

Too Late we saved it

Oh this is 100% officially a scam, We have complaints from across the globe.

With out getting too far in to what 50BTC has said to me in PM.

I am upset that INSTEAD OF MAKING A PUBLIC STATEMENT, OR FACING THE COMMUNITY, They are sneaking around and only sending PM to those that are the loudest complains.


Shame on you 50BTC.

If that's the case...

Hey shit heads, I want my 0.04 and change! (I'll take to print them this daily...)

Just deleted my previous post. Sure I was shocked when lost balance as all other people who had same issue.

I can tell now - 50btc - IS NOT SCAM.
Yes, I got an issue with lost amount there and this is still resolving.

AND: YES. This is resolving now day by day.
 I already received balance correction from them and some part already corrected, other continued time from time.
So I hope soon all previous amount will be repaired soon.

50btc are trusty guys and they really had an issue with hacked database.
Now they repairing base and I hope soon all people who REALLY had earned money will receive it.

Happy mining to all and as for me I will be happy to work again with 50btc pool soon.

How much did they PAY you to say this?

I'll believe it when I see it.  I'd rather not mention how much exactly I've lost to 50btc, but let's just say that it's more than several btc, and yes.. I was doing daily withdrawals until the last few days when every withdrawal was refused/pending. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for a couple of days before moving all my rigs off the pool.

lol they reset everythiung to 0.

its pure scam dont listen to anytbody saying different.

I logged in and checked again, still 0 balance. If they are really restoring balances, they would say so on the web. They have our emails, they can contacts us if they wanted to.

Honestly, I don't believe 50btc is starting to pay people back.

Yea, my balance before "hack" was +- 0,01 BTC (not much but still a lot for me :) )

0btc now, no support respond...

Logged in No status update. BTC still = 0

Thieves still in my book

Still nothing in my account. I had 91 BTC... 91 FUCKING BITCOINS!!! My stats should prove this, shortly after the hack, my balance changed a few times. I tried withdrawing the 91btc, bringing my balance to 0. Then my account showed 5BTC, then nothing. I would really like to see some that again. It's a shit ton of money I could really do with in the months to come. Fuck 50BTC, they scammed the shit out of me by the looks of it, I'm so stupid for trusting them with my BTC.
I had mined a total of 176BTC with my 2 avalons, only ever withdrew what I needed at the time. Their old database info will be able to prove this. I really should've taken some screenshots.

Lawyer up: I have located some of the info related to 50btc.com. You might wanna ask LE to subpoena and raid according to the location below:

Donation would be most appreciated:  1KeCMrkixWsyh9R7LWf1RGwviccMPKzhxK

Ummm The Info you have is just of the Privacy Guard Company they have Hired


I have the Info of WHO actually Registered the Domain name

as you can see by the date Posted I posted that info sometime ago

So Any Donations to 1N4qymXfb7Yjoaapc2Qpoopt4n9rhgekTg For finding this info Would be greatly Appreciated and Will Greatly Help out with the ENORMOUS expenses I have incurred due to this Whole 50btc.com Fiasco

Hope you guys are able to recover some of what was stolen here. Know how hard it is just to break even in mining.

Well, to be fair they've partially restored some of the balances and also posted something in thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54673.msg4640661#msg4640661

Yeah! that what I telling about too. They sent me some little part from found of my transactions. Total about 10% or a little less.

BUT .. lol 10 % or less payed and keeping quiet again?
No answer in skype they gave and no answer to email.

Sure still hope we all who REALLY lost money, not like people to whom their "admin scammer or I don't know who" just added millions to balance.

I wish they will restore all amount truly and correctly.

So, maybe we should to help them somehow?
As for me I proposed - once I will receive my correct amount I will be happy to support their resource some time with 10-20-30 % donation, because of that hacks happens.
Why not? If guys working for us now to return hucked money - they are good guys.
Or I miss something?

Actually I waiting for positive results for now.

i have no gotten all my money. back, in two separate "balance corrections."

waiting to withdraw the second bit right now. edit: got it.

mind you, the amounts were .014 (already withdrawn problem free) and .028, so i didn't have a lot going on.

45 btc still missing, still no response via support, email or skype. So for me it's scam/fraud/robbery till they recovered my funds...

I submitted as ticket in December and I still have NO update

Waited for a long time too, but recently got an answer and partial balance correction. So there is still hope :)

I don't think so, read this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54673.msg4134228#msg4134228

I got this Generic email today:

Dear User!
 
We are writing to you in order to inform about your Account Balance correction.
 
50BTC is trying to recover all your funds, but it can take some time.
 
Thanks for your loyalty.
 Best regards,
 50BTC team.

Crazy crap going on here.

I dont have time to quote the post they did in the past i thought they said the TABLES WERE CORRUPTED AND LOST AND NO HISTORY WAS AVAILABLE SO FUNDS WERE LOST?

Now they are saying otherwise?

Here is the e-mail they sent me today:

Dear user,

According to the analysis of your raw data from your miners, it looks like you are one of the blackmailing group. If it is not true, please contact us in skype: vip_support_50btc

Best regards,
50BTC support team.

This is after i asked them to please recover the mining accounts that were lost when they lost alllll of their data, and so on. And share with me the information no HOW they came to these numbers.

I am done here I have contacted the Russian Authority, and given them all information about the owner of the pool.

I am sure бpaтвa will want their cut of the funds the group has stolen.

I am going to be filing a law suit against the owners of 50BTC in the States, I am sure I will earn a default judgment as you will not have the courage to appear in court, and while its not enforceable in Russia, any assets that are in America, I can and will seize.  Your handling of this situation is Criminally negligent at best. I will be assisting other users in other counties is filing liens against 50BTC.com and its owners and I am sure your pool now facing litigation that could put your miners in Jeopardy of having their coin seized to repay your debts that you refuse to honor, its going to be a final nail in your coffin.

Just bumping this to the top.. hoping to get admins attention to the fact that 50btc is a thief/liar/scammer

Admin knows bud!! Admin knows..

Everyone should ping a random admin and ask to have them scammer marked

I've been working with 50btc for a few weeks. I got payouts around 1 btc around 6-8 days. When i made the payout it says finished on the payout list. when i clicked on the transaction link to blockhain it said transaction not found, but after a few hours  it always got corrected and i received the btc in my wallet. But not for the last one though. 1 btc payment made on 12 feb. it shows finished like the ones before, when i clicked the link , blockhain says transaction not found. 2 blocks have been found after the payout dated 13 feb but suspiciously after that list shows no new block found on their site. Though i sent the message to their support , auto mail sent stating they got the my request but i doubt i'll see any solution for it anytime soon if there will be any solution at all. if in the future I somehow get the lost payout to my wallet, i will write about it here in this thread. in the mean i switched over to other pools.

Seriosuly-Who keeping that ammount btc in pool? Why?

BTC worth much less in those days...

90BTC could be 400$ +-

I just have bad streak of luck these days  :'( after 50btc, i'd switched to bitminter. it seemed ok at first so i neglected to check on it. today i checked and saw they are still punching at the last block for about 1 day 12 hours. Guess this week i wont be able to smile.

on 17 feb 50btc refunded me for the lost amount. So there is no problem on that end. afterwards i got mail from them stating :

" As you maybe already heard, on 11 of February a massive ddos attack
was made to Bitcoin network
(http://www.coindesk.com/massive-concerted-attack-launched-bitcoin-exchanges/).
As a result of that, some of transaction were made incorrectly. "

So at least on my account, there is nothing indicating that they're scammers.

What does Feb 11 have to do with the scam?

How much where you refunded?

Here anything new?

After nearly 6 months, having lost my patience with 50BTC, I've decided to break my silence regarding my situation.

NO ONE SHOULD BE MINING ON THIS POOL

I started mining on this pool back around the end of August 2012 and for the most part was satisfied with the pool. On October 17th i was able to perform my last payout from the pool before 50BTC blocked miners from making any payouts. Keep in mind that I would often do twice a day payouts to minimize the amount I left in the pool. When payouts were blocked, after a few days I started moving my farm over to another pool. I completely moved my entire farm off 50BTC after 7 days. According to my estimates, and multiple emails and skype conversations I have had with 50BTC, I had in the vicinity of 15BTC in my account with them.  Balance was probably more, but I am satisfied with the 15BTC estimate, as that correlates well with another account on another pool I had at that time period. My farm, fortunately, was split between two mining pools. After a rather lengthy conversation with them on skype on February 17th, they sent me a payment of ~.2 BTC. Since then I have heard nothing from 50BTC.

I believe I have been as patient as possible, having hoped that this pool would come thru, but that doesn't look like it will happen.

Once a thief, always a thief. Honestly, I don't understand why anyone mines on this pool anymore.  History has shown us that mining pools that go bad eventually die.  The death for this pool cannot come soon enough. It was nice knowing you 50BTC, but I wish you a painful miserable death for the way you handled the situation.  

VOTE WITH YOUR HASHES! TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW NOT TO MINE ON THIS POOL.

I lost 180BTC

that is alot
when did they stop your withdraw ?
just got withdraw fail after a few weeks of mining on 50btc for pps
will see if they release the withdraw finger cross

On the last "hack", befor their restart

So now they have completly deleted my account on their not working website.
They never came back online here or in Skype and never replied to E-Mails, Facebook or twitter. So it's now clearly they stole our money and disappeared.

i lost alot of my old coisn on this, fuck this scammers

do not use this site at all!
