Being a true believer in the good nature of people and giving people the benefit of the doubt (= sucker? ;-)
I really wanted to believe this was not a hoax of some sort. My friends and I even considered traveling to Hungary to pick up the miner!
After reading all of the posts about it and adding my personal exprience my conclusion is that this is not a scam of the financial kind, but rather someone trying to drive the Bitcoin community crazy. It seems to me that person / persons have succeeded big time!
if "they" wanted to gain financial profit out of this scam, they would build a professional website, pick up the phone, answer their emails and start collecting.
