701  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: AMT users thread. on: June 15, 2014, 09:07:33 PM
That is a really good idea. IMET needs to explain everything in as many details as possible to this community.
-How many boards were actually ordered and when were they ordered!
-How much money did AMT really spend!?
-What production was actually accomplished and how many boards did AMT ship out and how many do they have now, and are those  boards even working!?
-Did AMT ship from IMET's facility!? OR IS AMT STILL LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING!
-Did AMT put any effort into it all or did they just hand over the project like.. here ya go, build us miners.

AMT customers need to know these things! And if IMET thinks they have a chance in hell at selling miners to this community without being upfront about this specific situation right now, we'll I wish them the best of luck. IMET NEEDS TO GIVE US THE FACTS! OR ITS ALL JUST BULLSHIT AND MAYBE IMET IS STILL WORKING WITH AMT!

IMET has yet to answer the above questions, they've just demonstrated 1 working miner. AMT already said that some of the boards worked but most of them didn't, and for all we know IMET could have been working on those boards for 2 months, and why now all of a sudden do they have a working miner?  Because some client went to see them? If you ask me. AMT is trying to sell through IMET because IMET is actually not stating facts about their situation with AMT. The old bait and switch, pretend like you hate them and they skimped out on their check, and oh by the way here are some of AMT's miners for sale.

COME on guys really!


I am petty sure that most of these questions have been answered in one way or another throughout this forum.  This is not a bait and switch.  My intentions were to address the accusations against IMET and to try to get paid by AMT for services that were rendered.

Guesses from members like frictionlesscoin don't count as answers. Only IMET or AMT can give those answer and neither of you have given them. We've asked AMT, and they have trickled around the subject like the usual.

IMET is under no obligation to share the details of the contract that was signed with AMT. In fact by doing so it could find it self in legal trouble depending on what the contract says specifically.

Wasn't that Rubicon crossed when IMET went on record and stated that AMT passed them a bogus check? Whether true or not (I believe it to be true), AMT would probably be in their right to sue IMET for deformation of Jewish Bulgarian character, tarnishing their good name via single-handedly destroying AMT's venerable brand. That bastards! You killed AMT.

Dear all,

We got totally busted & lost our bottle.

Dammit.

I don't think so. But most people do I bet.

Definitely not Joshua Zipkin of AMT and Miner Technologies, for this person didn't attend Penn State for seven years to obtain a business degree like Josh Zipkin, son of Harrison Zachariah Zipkin, has.

Interview with the Admin of MinerTechnnologies

Hi everyone! If you’re expecting the regular news updates from the online HYIP industry then OK, there’s going to be two updates on MNO today so I’ll be back later on this evening with all of that. To start things off for today however I have something a bit more unusual that may or may not be of interest to some readers, it’s up to you to decide and take it or leave it as you please. Longer term readers will know that occasionally over the years I’ve had interviews with people other than just HYIP admins, running genuine businesses. Programmers, payment processors, script writers, e-currency exchangers, and so on. Today then I have for the first of two updates an interview with the owner of a website called MinerTechnologies.

I’m going to let the owner explain what it’s all about in his own words as I also need to make if clear that MinerTechnologies is NOT verified or endorsed by myself and I have no personal experience using them or their products. What you are about to read, should you continue, is entirely a paid advertising feature and paid for by the website owner who contacted me first asking for it. If you have any further questions or comments about this I would please ask you to direct them at MinerTechnologies and not me, as I am unable to help you. I neither endorse their product or vouch for the service they provide. As is the case with any online business, it’s the duty of the buyer to independently research and evaluate the seller before handing over any money, “caveat emptor” as they say, so just make sure you know what you are doing and who you are doing it with in advance. So let’s hear from MinerTechnologies and see what it’s all about.

1. Hello Jonathan, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO, and tell us what your job title is. What is your background, what kind of qualifications do you have, and what is your experience?

Hello, my name is Jonathan Barlow and I am the CO of company called MinerTechnologies Limited. We are a company engaged in the sale of mining servers and cloud and mining. All of this began with the observation of the market, which is still a lack of this type of companies.

2. Can you explain to anyone who’s never heard of it before, what exactly is a crypto or e-currency? Give us a brief history of these and tell us how they work. Of what practical use are they really in the day-to-day life of regular people?

Cryptocurrency is a distributed cryptographic accounting system based on cryptography that stores information about the ownership of the contractual undertakings. The ownership is associated with each node of the system (“portfolio”) in such a way that the control of the portfolio had only the holder of the corresponding private key, and it was impossible to double edition of the same entity. It’s better to use e-currencies and cryptocurrencies in the Internet, because it is faster and easier way to pay via Internet with these currencies.

3. More specifically, tell us what is BitCoin. Give us a brief history of their operations and how it can be used. We know there’s probably a limit to what Governments and financial authorities can do to control BitCoin itself, but a lot they can do to regulate the businesses and individual bank accounts that accept it. So is there any real long term future in it?

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency introduced in 2009 by a person ( or group of people ), nicknamed Satoshi Nakamoto. The name also refers to using the open source software, and peer-to -peer, which is molded. Bitcoins can be stored on a personal computer in a file kept in a wallet or operated by third parties outside services involved in the storage of such portfolios. In each of these cases Bitcoins may be sent to another person via the Internet to any holder of Bitcoin address. Each Bitcoin is divided into 100 000 000 smaller units called often “satoshi”.

Unlike in the case of most currencies, Bitcoin doesn’t rely on the trust of the issuer with respect to the central bank. Bitcoin uses a decentralized database, the spread between the nodes of a peer- to-peer storage transactions and cryptography to provide basic security functions, such as making sure that Bitcoins may be issued only once by a person who has at any given time.

4. Explain what BitCoin mining is then. What is it, what does it involve, why does it need to be done, and how do people participate?

Bitcoin Network is a decentralized network that is based on P2P topology, namely the user to the user. There is no central server that would control the correctness of the transaction, because the whole system is based on computing power any user on the network. To perform a transaction, user A gives up ownership bitcoins adding to their user B ‘s public key and signed by its own private key, and then announce their surgery done in P2P networks. Network validates used in the transaction digital signatures and the number of coins in front of her acceptance. Any user that provides the processing power of your computer, through which it is possible to perform the transaction, is winning new bitcoin coins. These coins come from the voluntary commission of transfers made by other users and from the pool of all 21mln coins to be excavated until 2033. In short, ” mining”, or otherwise digging, the generation of new coins to the needs of the entire system, thanks to the computing power of your computer system used to encrypt the transaction. Generated new digital coins can be exchanged for the buck in the stock market or other traditional currency.

5. How can people make money from BitCoin mining? What do they need to do, and how profitable can it be? Isn’t it a relatively small amount of money to earn from what is a very complicated and time consuming process?

For providing the computing power of each user is rewarded with new coins. However, there is nothing for free, the computer that performs calculations working under maximum load and thus draws more current than during normal use. In addition to the amount of generated coins was clearly felt need of many excavators and it involves large investments. For those who have access to free electricity is a great investment usually returns after a few months, those who pay for electricity and have high tariffs should perform calculations for them or is it cost effective. The main criterion is profitability BTC course, but you should note that the rate is variable, and the time of the excavators investment may not yet be profitable but looking at the long term it can quickly turn to.

Difficulty affects the profitability of production which depends on the amount of computing power in the network, the greater the greater difficulty as well. The Bitcoin network can clearly see some trends. The upward trend when increasing the number of miners until the digging will begin to be uneconomical due to the high difficulty was caused by a large number of diggers and a downward trend, which begins at the time of the reduction in the number of miners and thus reduce the difficulty, until the difficulty will be low enough that digging again become very profitable to begin to the next trend. Sometimes you may find that digging is the most cost-effective due to the low rate leaves a significant proportion of the miners and greatly decreases the difficulty, then stored at low cost coins can be sold in the future when the rate goes up, of course, assuming that we are able to take the risk.

6. Tell us now about your website, MinerTechnologies Ltd. What do you do, and what are the products you sell? How much do they cost?

Today we offer our comprehensive solution for the extraction of Bitcoin currency. We are selling Bitcoin mining servers with ASIC chips.

8. Most electronic products should have an online tech and operation guide. Can we see one for this? Before people would pay that kind of money I would imagine you are interested in making sure they can check this information out in some depth beforehand.

We offer our customers telephone and mail support. We are available 5 days a week, so everyone can call us with problems.

9. So if I’d like to purchase one of these devices, how do I go about it? How do I pay, and what are the delivery arrangements?

11. What is cloud mining? Am I correct in saying this does not involve the sale of a physical product? How does this work? Can we see any see any testimonials from customers that readers can independently verify?

Cloud mining is a type of service that allows you to extract Bitcoins without physical hardware purchasing. We offer such services. More info you will find on mining.minertechnologies.com

12. If you are a legal business entity as you say, why accept an untraceable online payment processor like PerfectMoney which is barred to US customers, but not SolidTrustPay which is licensed and actually much preferred by US customers anyway?

We are doing all to accept as many payment processors as we can, anyone can suggest their preferred e-currencies.

13. What sort of a warranty to you provide customers? Is there an extended guarantee available on the product, and what kind of after sales service do you offer if there’s a breakdown or fault?

Our mining servers have 8 year guaranty.

14. Regarding your business which I see you have based in the UK. As you say VAT is included (sales tax to US readers), I know that you are obligated to provide VAT receipts, particularly to business customers who intend to use BitCoin mining for commercial reasons. Please provide us with your VAT registration details, which I know you are legally obliged to provide your customers. It will give them more confidence in advance of dealing with you as their opinion of businesses using PerfectMoney might not always be so good.

Note from MNO – This question was returned unanswered.

15. Do you have an affiliate program for re-sellers or third parties who refer customers to you? If so then how do they claim this?

We have an affiliate program that free and enables members to earn revenue by placing a link or links on their web site which advertises MinerTechnologies Limited or specific products on it.

Everyone can contact us by sending a message using contact form on our website or calling our Customer Service. You can find our number in Contact tab.

Thanks a lot to Jonathan for that that, and I hope that he got all the points he was hoping to make about his company across clearly. But like I said in the introduction, you will need to direct any follow-up questions or problems directly to MinerTechnologies. So that’s about all for the moment guys, but don’t forget to check back later on tonight for the regular news update from the HYIP industry. Bye for now and see you all then![/size]

First off, the entire interview/Q&A was contrived and penned in third person, hence it being in quote tags, ergo http://money-news-online.com/ DID NOT ask any of the questions.

Secondly, Jonathan Barlow barely has a command of the English language, in spite of being British.

Next, in the same vein as above, British vs Standard American spelling of certain words, some of which I highlighted in red above.



Hell, whoever penned the blog posts for http://money-news-online.com/ lacks proper English skills as well, for I'm virtually trippin' on each sentence.

You are some sick person, really. I feel sorry for you.


Dogie, and others! We have 5 servers available, will ship them next week to you. Please contact me via email - admin@minertechnologies.com

Phinnaeus Gage, I didn't even read your posts. So don't ask me any questions, and don't expect answers.

A word of advice man. Get off the off this forum as fast as you can. Sales are no longer and have never really been generated from this place.

Those that don't come here and make an official pages, are more successful than those that do. That's why never did it again through any of the other companies.

WOW! I quoted an article in its entirety adding a comment, and look how riled and what nut Jonathan gets. To top it off, the Jewish Bulgarian Freemasons Gimp comes to his rescue offering up expect advice when he has his plate full over at his AMT headquarters, one of which is manning the office or answering the phone, for the Jenkintown PD has been trying each day since last week - to no avail - to reach Joshua Zipkin to address concerns that he has threatened to kill people via the internet, namely me - twice!. Yes, I did file, and I will do everything in my power to get this sick bastard off the streets.

Yes, I am pretty sure, a shortened summary of facts, or you could call it a protocol, of what happened, when, where in which amounts on what ways...
could help the most, at this point.
Atleast it could clarify what actions Phinn already took and what proofs are on the table.

For the start...
Please add or correct the dates/facts/amounts

Fact?: In December 2012, Phinn bought 1132.08 BTC for Cash, with a laptop, on a parking lot, from someone he believes it was Jeff Ownby.
Questions:
- Did you try to contact https://www.facebook.com/jeff.ownby ?
Maybe he is willing to answer you, ...still has the Tx details somewhere or at least can confirm you bought it?

- Is there ANY chance to get hands on the laptop you used? If not, what exactly happend to it?
Because, if I had a case like this I would'nt want to "lose" any tiny piece of this puzzle that could help to solve/proof something.

- do you remember what time it was, as you met? This could help to identify the initial/purchasing transaction, too.

F?: a few days after the purchase, you transfered 132 and 0.8 BTC into 2 newly created wallets, and 1000BTC remained in the wallet/address that was used for the initial purchase.
Q: Or have you made 3 new wallets and cleared the one you've initially received with to 0.0BTC?
As long as we don't find a correlation to any of the used addresses, all this is hard to proof. (again, the laptop or maybe Jeff Ownby(?) could help)
I am not so much in Blockchain scanning, but I could imagine it should be possible for someone with the right skills, to find the addresses,
and with that maybe "the ways your BTC went", if you could tell us exactly what and how you did.


I agree as well, we need Phin to get us as close of an account of dates, times, and transfer amounts as possible because there is some confusion here. As I understand, the 0.835 did not originate from the 1132+x.xxx deposit. It was from an unrelated source. The original deposit could have been as high as 1141.9 or so given that it was 1132 + x.xxx. x.xxx could have been 9.999 or it could have been 1.000 or anything in between there. He also expressed some small doubt as to if the 1132 might have actually been 1123, so theres an off chance it could be as low as that.

The wallet that contained the 0.835 bitcoins, which was returned to you, must have a deposit address which was used to fund it. Could this address then be used to locate to larger original deposit?

No. That one was first funded via a different means sometime in February if I'm not mistaken.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Besides the split a few days after the deposit, were there any later minor transfers to or from the wallets in question between the time of their funding and the "hack"? Or did they remain undisturbed until that time?

None, but I now do recall that since I moved them a couple time, I believe a miner fee was deducted, thus the wallet amounts WON't be exactly 1,000 BTC and 132 BTC. Also, there's a very slight chance that the lesser wallet may have been 123 BTC, but in no way am I trying to get what I don't deserve. For the longest time, I stated such in the IW claims thread, opting for the lower amount to be fair, but change to the higher amount because I honestly believe that it was 132 and not 123, only after I got sick of the runaround.

Forgive for forgetting all about the miner fees. I just keep the whole numbers in my head spacing that aspect out. I do recall that the first time the fee was only pennies, but was taken aback some subsequent transfer when I noticed it was several dollars, but not double digits, but didn't sweat it.

I'm also interested in the split. You mention that you believe miner fees were taken out. This would imply that the split was not conducted off-chain and should be visible in the blockchain. Or could it be that Instawallet charged its own fees for internal transfers (this doesnt seem likely)?

In red is the best assessment.

I'm not sure how, if any, the fees were calculated.

In my opinion you should focus on the first transaction (the ~1100 one, done second week of December 2012) and the refund - all others could have been handled off chain.
The refund, how much exactly and when ?

this link has information on the refund of 0.835 : www.instawallet.org/w/sMceOus2wYrDVAHxA5BssBwB7kgDqC9r4Q

It lists a "wallet public address" 1JppeHVdYQEBGR4uHVTqLQsb2FY1wUTziH

and a "bitcoin payout address" 18LQJiPJ2ULVLYF5Q7JKgSBDkktByZmpXB

That's it, but remember that this wallet is mutually exclusive of the larger two wallets.
711  Economy / Services / Re: New 400 BTC Bounty Pales Roger Ver's 37.6 BTC Bounty for Return of Stolen BTC on: June 13, 2014, 01:57:02 PM
Let's ask Phinnaeus again as I feel too lazy to search right now  Kiss that's the 0.8 something done "recently" (last year ?)

The 0.835 BTC wallet was returned Feb. 14, 2014, but it's mutually exclusive of the 1,132 BTC original wallet.

There is a third wallet that was split from the 1,132 BTC that I totally forgot about (I've mentioned it at least once before on this forum) that I never put a claim in for. I forgot all about it when I filed the initial claims, being only concerned about the two larger wallets and the one active wallet I had at the time. I have no info on that third wallet, even forgetting to trying to pull the info from the now discarded laptop.

In the spirit of the above, Brock Pierce suggested to the person who had their bitcoins stolen to mound a similar campaign, thus amassing the troops, so to speak, so that at least one person could reap the reward when the stolen bitcoins are returned....

Brock Pierce made a general statement intended for anyone who lost a large amount or you talk(ed) with him directly?

Directly over the phone. He called me.

Awesome.... I was away (most of the time) for a few days. Is there already a thread about your talk?
I'm curious if you have a different view about him now? Certainly, talking is one thing he is really good at.  Smiley

No there is not. I was thinking about penning one, but changed my mind and was busy on some other tangent. He offered to meetup with me in Chicago during the upcoming conference.

He's takes controls of the conversation, akin to what have you see him on video, and very sure of himself, neither of which are bad attributes. The only time he seemed off-guard was when I asked him if he was bisexual. He kindly quickly replied with a no, but when I mentioned a name and witness, his response took longer and distant, but was still a negative, but in a different tone. Something you pick up if you're a poker player like I am.

I sincerely wanted to believe him, just like I wish I could believe Josh of BFL when I met him, but things just don't add up during and after said conversations.

There's more, but I'm not trying to be elusive here by not bringing it up, but did want to give you some sort of reply since you asked.

They were purchased anonymously at a restaurant halfway between Sandwich, IL, and Chicago, in Naperville, IL, about the second week of December, 2012. Taxing my memory, the total was 1,132 + x(single digit).xxx... and immediately put in a freshly created InstaWallet bitcoin wallet. A couple/three days later I split the three accounts up into 1,000, 132, and x.xxx... wallets, always using InstaWallet while in my possession. Hope that helps with your plans.

Did the anonymous seller generously offer a wi-fi hotspot for you to use to complete the transfer? Perhaps suggesting DNS changes when you had trouble connecting to the wi-fi hotspot?

This is where it took place: 1191 East Ogden Avenue
Naperville, IL 60563

In the parking lot. I had a good signal in the parking lot prior to his (John, a generic name I just assumed he made up) arrival probably less than 5 minutes later. I now do recall he drove a red pickup, remembering such because my truck is red (same truck I own today). I'm almost certain his was a later model, but didn't register the make, e.g. Ford, Chevy, etc., but it was full size, and no crew cab like mine.

In re. the auditor. For starters, it would prove that David was telling the truth that there was an auditor. Then, possibly it can be confirmed that there was a "hack" from some source outside of Paymium. Finally, we will learn if it was tampered with.

my point is that the auditor is not supposed to tell you anything, especially when there's a police investigation ongoing. So in the end, that information would be useless, you wouldn't even know if it's true or false.

Another genuinely naive question, of course you have no way to contact the guy to see if he had logs of his own ?

No I don't, for it was a Craigslist ad. To this day I've always had a feeling that it was Jeff Ownby of BFL, but not 100% certain of that. I wish it was, for it would make this episode a tad easier.

and the story a little bit better, I didn't expect that to be even possible to be honest.

The Barn intends to program a series of live music events in this mold for years to come. “We can already feel the buzz around this first event, which will hopefully spillover into 2010 and beyond," said The Barn's Manager Jeff Ownby. “We're La Grange residents and it’s obvious to us why this community would embrace a top-quality nightlife option aimed at adults.”

The wallet that contained the 0.835 bitcoins, which was returned to you, must have a deposit address which was used to fund it. Could this address then be used to locate to larger original deposit?

No. That one was first funded via a different means sometime in February if I'm not mistaken.

Posting so that I have this thread in my "new replies to your last posts" list so I can remember to follow along daily with your journey to be made whole again.

Also, I really wish I was some epic Black Hat and could get in, get your BTC back, and massively fuck/deface that shady Instawallet system. Good luck to you Phin. I may not be that person, but I'm hoping you already have a few people that do have those capabilities following along with it. A 400 BTC bounty will definitely turn heads and grab some headlines.

That was my intent, albeit the 400 BTC bounty was not a ruse, hence offering up escrow via Rassah. I just don't want this to be a total lost, with somehow, someway keeping as many future scammers at bay.
