Hey guys, I have to put this out in hopes that genesis mining will fear public backlash (unlikely but worth a shot.)  I invested a few years ago in genesis mining for a little under 800USD and got a large bitcoin mining contract and a small altcoin contract.  Many of my payouts went into pending if they didn't have an address to go to.  After adding a payment address those payouts remained in pending for around a year and a half.  They still have not been released.  Now that my contracts are either over/terminated due to being unprofitable, there is still a large amount they owe me (around 400USD worth.)  I started contacting them 3 weeks ago and through a series of emails they have avoided answering my questions directly and now just aren't answering me at all.  I first contacted them about it march 13th 2017.  These are the responses I received each time I asked them about the pending payments:

Hi 6nrfmartin,

Hi 6nrfmartin,

IT will look at the pending BTC and Dash. They are busy though, so please be patient. Your issue will be dealt with.

You also seem have some Dogecoin waiting but there is no wallet for Doge yet. Can you please add one?


Best regards,

Hi 6nrfmartin,

Unfortunately, our system works in the manner that if you have active contracts on particular algo, the coins will be picked up by the payout engine. We can suggest to kindly be patient and wait for those coins to be released manually, but if you are interested, you can upgrade your hashpwoer - currently with Genesis Mining currently you can mine:

- SHA256: BTC, UNO and ZET
0.2 TH/s: 30 $ to 200 TH/s: 26.000 $
 
- X11: DASH and START
5 MH/s: 30 $ to 1000 MH/s: 4.500 $
 
- LTC: LTC and DOGE
2 MH/s: 28 $ to 5000 MH/s: 60.000 $
 
- ETH: 1 MH/s: 30 $ to 500 MH/s: 14.000 $

We hope this helps.

Best regards,

Hi 6nrfmartin,

If you go to PAYOUTS section of your account, you will find pending DOGE coins, while there was no DOGE wallet in time when payouts were released (January 2017.) You can check your balanced coins under "Payouts" section on your account, and also, clicking on the "i" icon will give you additional data.

 Have no worry, we will send your mined coins to your DOGE wallet manually.

Thank you for patience!

Hi Martin,

I am sorry it is taking a few days longer than we expected but some issues go deep in the system and our IT guys are working on it which prevents them from any activity here. Don't worry, you will get your coins for sure, we always make sure our customers are satisfied but when doing a business with as many customers as we do issues occur and it has nothing to do with the mining but it takes a little bit of time to fix it.

Once again I am sorry for the delay and I thank you for understanding and patience.



Best regards,

Suffice to say I have not received any of my coins.  No doge, dash, or btc.
Here are pics of what they owe (for some reason the doge isn't showing up in pending but whatever.)  http://imgur.com/LrcRyBq   http://imgur.com/XQVkgUx
I received that last email on april 1st and have not heard from them since.  So, you have been warned.  Do not deal with Genesis mining.  They are crooks and will rob you.

I am considering making an altcoin for a project, nothing special and it wont ever be available for the public, it is just to prove something works.  My question is what is the best proof of work to use for an altcoin nowadays?  I want something that doesn't have asics or is anywhere near asics becoming a thing for it.  Preferably something works best with gpu's.
