Thinking about cloud mining? All scams. Today it was Bitcoin.com's turn to scam BTC from their customers.

Bitcoin.com Lifetime Contracts Paused, Full Refunds Available


Due to regulations in China regarding Bitcoin mining, we are moving our mining equipment out of China. Unfortunately this means that we need to pause all lifetime mining contracts until the transition is completed.

Only lifetime contracts are affected. Other contracts, such as 1 year or 6 month mining contracts, are located in the USA so are not affected.

You have two options at this time:

Receive a 100% full refund of your initial USD cost (paid in BCH at current exchange rate). Your contract will permanently end if you chose a refund.
Pause your contract from January 18th until approximately April 30th while we move our hardware to a data center outside of China.

Refunds are available now, and can be requested until our hash rate is back online.

To receive your full refund, please go to your purchased contracts page, click on your contract, then click "Refund" to complete the process.

If you prefer your contract to be paused until our hash rate is back online, no action is required.

We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Funniest thing for this excuse is that these guys barely had any hashpower in China. Their hardware seems to be mainly in US and they continue mining into their own pockets with the hardware their customers paid for. Scam well done, Roger Ver and Co.

4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / 256: absurdly-high-fee on: January 05, 2018, 01:36:06 AM
It's not my transaction, but would like to know if someone has knowledge if there's something to be done to get this broadcasted to blockchain? Problem is that this transaction has numerous childs (unconfirmed funds spent on chain.so), so naturally those are also invalid if this does not get sorted out.

250 inputs, 2 outputs, 0.13090840 fee. Is the fee really too high or just the transaction data itself (~150kB)?

Validation Error: BitcoindException(super=com.neemre.btcdcli4j.core.BitcoindException: Error #-26: 256: absurdly-high-fee, code=-26)

E: Sorry, noticed that I posted in the wrong section. Maybe a moderator could move this to Bitcoin Technical Support? Thanks

6  Economy / Scam Accusations / EZACOIN - Bangkok based cloud mining scam - Ezacoin.com on: December 18, 2017, 03:40:51 PM
Ezacoin is (or was) a cloud mining provider based in Bangkok, Thailand. It's fairly new provider as they opened their service on september 2017.

https://www.ezacoin.com/

In October, after seeing photos and images of their mining equipment and facilities on their social media pages decided to give it a try with couple of small contracts.

https://twitter.com/ezacoin

As of today my mining power with them is 7,8 TH/s. For those contracts I paid them total of ~0.285 BTC @ $239 per TH/S, 2 year contracts. So far I've been paid out ~0.063 BTC

Everything went smoothly until yesterday when I noticed that earnings were not credited to my Ezacoin internal wallet. Thought it was just a glitch until encountered this on their facebook page

http://image.ibb.co/dsRPs6/ezacoin_3_scam.png

https://www.facebook.com/ezacoin/posts/837409379763795

Now doing short calculation with today's Bitcoin value I should get back 7.84 x $239 / $18 716 = ~0.1 BTC

Let's add that to what they already paid me: 0.063 + 0.1 = 0.163 BTC.

So I paid 0.285 BTC to get back 0.163 BTC. At todays rate $2000 loss for me. That's if they'll ever pay even that what they promise on their Facebook update. Otherwise it's 0.222 BTC loss.

So basically their customers paid those S9's for them and now when bitcoin is peaking and profitability all time high, they kick them out to get all the profits. I'll recover for sure, but I feel terrible for locals, as most of them have not that much money and many of them might lost big part of their life savings with this.

Sure, they could have just exited and paid nothing, but still this is a rip off. And yes, they promised a dollar value back what we paid for the contracts, but no one would have paid them with their Bitcoin if they knew that the end result will be this. No one.

I don't know how many customers they actually have, as propably 99% of them are Thai and they have their own channels to discuss these matters, but if there's Thai users browsing this thread I'd love to hear if it's possible for foreigner to file a police report online outside of the country?

There are some photos of their facilities that may help to recognize the address they are located. For example this transformer should be fairly easy to locate by Bangkok local authorities by contacting electricity company:

Another transformer. Their facility is on right behind the transformer:

Their facility:

They'll propably do this again with a new domain whenever they need money for new hardware. Locals should go and teach them a lesson they'll never forget.
