Well, actually Bitpay is not selling Amazon gift cards cheap, the situation is quite the opposite.

Thank you all for taking an interest in the topic. I noticed a small legal dispute but will address it a bit later. Friends, it's 2021, for as long as you not using illegal money, you are well protected as a buyer by the Law. I'm actually a legal counselor myself but would like to hear more from Bitpay support on how they see the situation before commenting ongoing dispute here.

Also, I have noticed few repeated wrong statements from users on this topic and decided to update my post giving correct answers:


5. Is Bitpay selling Amazon Gift cards cheap? No, as it's usually the case with gift cards from official merchants, u pay around 105$ per 100$ Amazon gift card on Bitpay. It was yet another reason I believed those were 100% genuine legal gift cards.

6. Is Bitpay an authorized Amazon gift card seller? Well, at least their advertisement on Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc claims so.

7. Who sells Amazon gif cards via Bitpay? Contrary to the popular belief, Bitpay (as can be proved in legal information they provide in a small text we sign) is not using any third-party sellers when it comes to Amazon Gift cards. Bitpay is a direct seller of Amazon gift cards.

I will update this topic and gonna add a bit of clarification on February 24-25.

I would advise anyone interested to bookmark this topic since I'm going to post updates here till the issue is resolved.

bullrun2020bro, My account is around 10 years old, I mostly paid via debit card in the past, made a lot of purchases throughout the years. Thus, at least a few debit cards (debit cards on my name, cards that work for years, nothing fishy, no 1-day cards used) are added to my Amazon account.

Haven't used VPN, however, I'm not from the USA, I'm from Europe.
Nevertheless, I have a real address, real name et cetera written in my account on Amazon.

Post updated on February 25, information added.

Hello,

Since I haven't found much information regarding this issue with Bitpay, let me share it here so that other users may find it. I will also update this topic with any news regarding the issue and in case Bitpay support team will be able to help me.

Some time ago I googled that Bitpay is the only trustworthy service to directly buy Amazon gift cards. Add to that how far they progressed over the years and added a lot of new features such as the possibility to pay for Microsoft products directly, the verification process, and well - I got convinced it's a 100% reliable company.

I successfully bought 4 Amazon gift cards from Bitpay throughout January 1-3 and claimed them on Amazon.
However, few days ago, when trying to buy photo camera on Amazon using those gift cards the order was immediately canceled by Amazon and MY ACCOUNT ON AMAZON GOT BANNED.

This is a message I got from Amazon:


1. Have I bought gift cards from somewhere else?: Yes, I bought it few times in Amazon store to claim free $, aside from that - only Bitpay.

1. State of my Amazon account: I never used my Amazon account for illegal activities, it has my real correct credentials, billing information et cetera. I used it for as long as I remember and had no problems in the past at all when I paid with my debit cards in Amazon store.
Last purchase was made on Black Friday 2021 where I bought few items overall worth 180$, I never and would never have used this account for money laundering or anything like that.

2. State of my Bitpay wallet account: It's verified, was verified before I bought 4 Amazon gift cards. I have never been a fan of illegal activities, thus it wasn't a problem to complete the verification process required by Bitpay and to send them my documents.

3. Source of Bitcoin used to pay for those gift cards: is completely legal, no shade activities or even mining was involved. I can prove where they came from by a legal company since funds were the result of a longstanding claim and all papers are in order.

4. My credentials on Amazon and Bitpay: are the same, no shade games are involved here.

I already contacted Amazon support team, however, my account remains banned. Right now I'm still waiting for help from Bitpay, but unless the issue is resolved and at least spent Bitcoin cash is returned back - I will have this topic opened to warn other people of such grave danger.

If anyone by any chance ever faced this issue - please let me know. In case it will not get resolved by Bitpay support team - claim will be sent to appropriate authorities in the USA, thus I can help you to resolve the same problem too.

CryptoBuzzerd will just waste your time. For your money he shows you a Video how to withdraw funds from CryptoBridge without KYC and that's all. As a proof that method works after 15.12.19 he found working Bridge_RVN pair that I myself told him first.
Thing is, you still can exchange Bridge_RVN coins, but Bridge_BTC and other coins are locked and can't be traded.
Ignore and report this guy, in case moderators have questions - I have saved Telegram chat.

They are stealing coins again, do not believe in bullsh.. regarding DDOS.

Use https://pool.mn, it has simple rewarding system. Mine for 24 hours straight and share your results.

Sparrow?


What results are u asking for? I`ve given total info - he received around 110 coins more per day.

Btw, pool (Pool.ml) had Proportional reward system which made tests results even more surprising. I still can`t figure out the reason of this.
We tried tests with skein and results were the same for us both.

I and another user from this forum recently had a nice chance to test our rigs: 1080 ti x5

Same pool, same hashrate and 0% rejection for both rigs. Tests took 3 full days.

On average he made around 110 coins more per day than I did.

Are you sure about those numbers? I guess it`s what sniffdogs says u`ll get, not the actual income.

sypher9, I noticed the restart issue, though still had no time to check it all.

Maybe you had the same problem?:

Please check the graph on my screenshot again. it shows hashrate per hour, not per second, so it should normaly be around 4.5-5.0 Gh/s for 5x1080 ti per hour.

+ as you can see I have 2 more rigs and their hashrate is constant.

I`m using sniffdog for last couple of days mining skein and from time to time notice strange decrease in hashrate. This image perfectly illustrates the problem, it has started 4 hours ago and still persists. All this time my sniffdog miner shows straight 4.7Gh/s at 5x 1080 ti, while website only sees 1.3Gh/s.

Can anyone confirm having this too? I only found posts regarding high reject value, but nothing regarding my case.

Where do you live? In case you live in Europe hashrefinery is based in the USA. I think issue is somehow related to high pings.

Depends on what miner you are using. Check settings for your miner but I myself prefer to use Afterburner.

I was testing it all for 10 days myself and finally can confirm what is said by the creator of this topic. And I also received no reply at all from Suprnova in a week.

You don`t need to trust us, just test it yourself using 2 rigs or separate your gpus with apps on suprnova and any other pool and test it for 3-5 days.

Doubt it, internet is screaming scandals, every day something new is happening regarding Sig leaders.

Now I`m totally lost. Can you please tell me exact model of your 1080 ti? Link would be even better.

Are we still talking about 1080 ti? Brief search at google.com will show that even with water cooling this gpu has 45-55 C. Countless reviews of 1080 ti also say that one gpu with Air cooling operates at 80-84 C. When it comes to farm, situation is even worse, because we hold all those gpus in close proximity to one another.
