Nothing in your post makes any sense. 

There is nothing more I can say to convince you that I am a real person (and not James), so I'm just going to leave it at that, and let everyone else who bought into the group buy make your mind up, as long as James comes through with everything he says he will.  There looks to be around 12-14 different people who have bought into the group buy, so once you decide that they're not all fake and none of them (hopefully me included) cry scam, you'll know how great of an opportunity you missed out on.  Actually, you probably won't, so I'll break it down for you: 

You seem to be buying hashing power from PBMining, their current rate is .0041 BTC/GH/s.  To equal 1x S3 in hashing power, you would need to spend 1.804 BTC. (When if ever is your expected ROI for cloud mining contracts anyways?)

The Group buy I bought into is offering an S3 unit for 0.69 BTC, and the original price I bought in for had hosting for $5/month/share (or $10 per S3).  If it was to be hosted for 5 years (like your PBmining contract, even though that amount of hashing power will be worthless by then) it would cost me 1.69 BTC at today's BTC conversion, with the hosting being paid monthly instead of upfront.  Also, as BTC goes up, the hosting cost less and less BTC, making the return even greater and overall cost lower.  More realistically, after the year is up we will sell the units to upgrade to the next model (since the hardware will still be worth something to someone), and really leave you in the dust. 

Now, you have my permission to cry.

so.. tl;dr

have we got any physical evidence that PB are actually mining, yet?
got some BTC sitting and wanna do something with it.

So here is a question from the new kid on the block.

I recently started mining at pb as well. Most of you guys started months ago and past the break even point. As the difficulty goes up is it still worth to start investing (or re-investing) or is it too late to be profitable?

And this is a question just for your speculation/gut feeling, not one to discuss electricity costs as such

Bulk buy of this group remains as soon as SPTech reopen the sales.

This group buy is kept to until reopen sales with the new specifications according with the oficial published on:

Post the tx id of the payout.

Honest question, on what rational grounds do you base this group buy/pool as being a scam anyways? Well apart from you thinking we're all fake, which at least I know for me isn't true. I mean, I just received a payout yesterday for the initial units hashing, and all the remaining units have been ordered. I just can't tell if you're trolling hard, you have a hate on for the guy, or you're just delusional.  I can't understand how someone who isn't involved in it can determine it's a scam, while the people who have paid into it don't?

Don't you think by now if something was up someone who lost money would have cried wolf?

I've been going thru the SCAm postings on here for a little while, how the fk do you guys send out money to someone you do not know without using escrow. It seems like people are getting burnt over and over and over by the same scams... DO SOME RESEARCH ON HERE AND GOOGLE BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING AND FFS PAY 2% AND USE ANOTHER PARTY (ESCROW) 

I typed it in as soon as electrum flagged a deposit I figured it was 50/50 whether I beat you My daughter was going nuts, too. I figured I'd lost

PAID!

Got the money. I'm in profit since one month!!!

Thanks PB Mining.

You sir, are an idiot.  What, you're all butt-hurt because you didn't have the IQ to understand the original GB premise, and after asking the same questions repeatedly and now not being able to participate you want to get back at James?  The fact that you question everyone in that thread's (presumably including my) existence is pathetic.  If you really think so, PM a moderator and have them check IP's, or actually do something to prove it beyond just calling people "plants".  You are only emberassing yourself, and now bringing other reputable forum members down the same rabbit hole.  Since your last post here, the order for the S3's has been made and paid (on schedule I might add), and there was never really any grounds for suspicion of a scam apart from your manipulating of quotes.  If James could have ordered earlier, he would have. How exactly would you run a group buy, other than by collecting funds, buying hardware once it comes available, and changing your price if need be based on the manufacturer's fluctuations?  You criticize his change in price, yet Bitmain has come from over .75 BTC down to now .64, and the hashrate from 481 GH/s to 441.  How was any of that in his control?  You are a fucking troll, you have no life, and no business trying to conduct any kind of commerce that requires higher functioning than fastening velcro shoes. FUCK OFF.

As for the other members supporting rodeoclown's claims.  I advise you to read some of his posts to gain a glimpse of his capacity:

Now that he realizes he doesn't have a chance at participating in a quality group buy, he is trying to figure out how to host an S3 himself:


This thread, where he is looking to buy a free annonymous email account?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=699487.msg7904499#msg7904499

and other threads where he is simply relentless and petulant to the host/OP.  Think about who is making the accusation before taking it seriously.  James has been a bit inconsistent, in that his price and how he was to run his GB has been all over the place, but he is also quite new to it and has only made changes to help out the participants and keep everyone happy.  I don't envy his position, in that he has to try to keep courteous with difficult people like rodeoclown.

"Note the seller keeps changing the prices in his moderated thread."

You mean seller cannot change prices at all? What kind of world is this??? I gave my reasons for increasing the price, from 0.375 to 0.395 and then finally 0.405. Wow, he really must be scamming, look at the price increase!!!
