Hi
Although being a "newbie" to the forum I am not to crypto-currencies.
I would like to add my suspicions/experiences of Bitcominers to the bitcominers thread.
I was looking at their hosted services as being a good deal - but then using the rule of any entrepreneur "if sounds to good to be true. Then it usually is" started asking some fairly simple questions.
1. Q-Can I choose my own pool? - A:- "There is no ability to choose a pool"
2. Can you give me the performance of the pool in the last 3 months - A:- No answer
3.Could you give me the current frequency and the average payout per Th/s or a likely ROI - A:-"Because of Difficulty changes, we can't give any profit calculation. But you can do that yourself using any Bitcoin mining profit calculator, for example
http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/We make payouts on a monthly basis."
This should be bread and butter info I thought...
4.Could you provide the number of Bitcoins mined by your pool over the last 3 months and the pool hash rate for each month - A:-"I don't have the exact number, but I know it is somewhere near to 800-1000 BTC for the last 3 month."
I love to be able to trust people but my experience added to the existing posts is really not confidence inspiring and I really would urge the people thinking that it's not a scam and the company is just a little busy at the moment to answer the phone, emails or register a company because they are developing a top line asic miner that not one person in the bitcoin community has had wind of - to think again about signing that "cheque"
I really hope to be proven wrong for the sake of those unsuspecting "investors" and so I can restore my faith in the human race but I have a sneaking suspicion...
