1  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BitHarp Scam? Lyre Miner & Harp Miner on: September 27, 2019, 04:55:47 AM

Well – here is one of the suckers (probably the only one anybody will hear from).  I’m one of the lucky guys who mined back in CPU days and still have FU coin from then. 

I buy ASICS just to see what is going on from an engineering standpoint and even make them more profitable by taking them apart and never putting them back together again.  This earns $250 a month in electrical savings (anybody need S9 parts?).

I saw articles on this on all the feeds and, at a price of 0.4btc – not a problem, I really wanted to see this well-engineered liquid ASIC…

This hurt my pride (and feelings) as an enthusiast and senior software developer, but the 0.4btc won’t be missed.  However, this is going to be catastrophic for many since my assumption is they went to coinbase and turned fiat savings into btc to get in on the gold rush. Unfortunately, times have not changed, and we bought claims that didn’t exist before ever reaching Dawson.

The specs are so ridiculous, the video so odd and the after-payment offer of buy 2 get 1 free (on a rig that should be sold out) I knew something was up… I’ve been bored, and this gives me something to do for a bit.  They made a mistake somewhere in the registration of the sites that I’m sure I’ll find a common IP and start prodding.  The coin is currently being split with the same fractional bot all scammers use. 

[psudo]
ForEach(Coin.Fraction fraction in stolenCoin)
{
     List<Wallet> walletList = Wallets.Create(2).ToList();
     walletList.First().SendAmount(stolenCoin, fraction);
     walletList.Last().SendAmount(stolenCoin.Remainder);
     WalletTuple.AddWallets(walletList);
}



My thoughts:

I think you are all on the right track.  Finding who produced the video might not be as difficult as you think.  They are either professionals(?) or in on the scam.  I wouldn’t want my scammer face to be visible in a video posted on-the-line to the Interweb Highway Tubes, so we can assume they are really bad actors [pun].  I wouldn't want my face to be associated with a scam large enough to cause the very real possibility of violence.

One thing is for sure – we need to get the word out to keep others from ruining themselves financially.  I say take it to Reddit and let those animals out of their cage.
 
Following the press releases and articles also puts pressure on the source and authors, who like the "actors" will not like being associated with a scam of $5000 per person magnitudes.  A person who makes a living as an SEO wants to be seen an expert on several topics, seen but low profile, certainly not associated with this and become a reddit victim.

Freelance SEO’s scrape a living by pulling projects from sites like TrueLancer.  These are paid content... somebody is paying.  I have sent the site editors of every article written and reposted to different blogs by the same author why (specifically David Cox) would lend legitimacy to a company that popped into existence only recently… by making them sound like industry leaders.

Here are two authors I found consistent articles from that specifically tout this product as if they had seen it.

David Cox
cryptonewsz.[komm]/author/david-cox/

Note: He dates back a while.
David Cox makes a serious mistake in his article as he writes from an industry expert perspective "The well-known cryptocurrency manufacturer, [bith arp] Group..." and cites the article as his own.  So he either copy-pasta’d a PR into a blog post for pay or knows something about the company we don’t.

(isn't the chief engineer at [bith arp] a Cox as well?)
