Sorry, but it's not a 0% fee pool if you are keeping Tx fees.

[bitclubpool]

Yes, there is no fee assessed on the full block, but the tx part be used to operate the pools.  servers are not cheap to keep this going but at the moment, we are giving out the Block Finder Bonus of $100 for the odds number block the member finds, so please take advantage of that!!!

[loshia]

Sorry, but it's not a 0% fee pool if you are keeping Tx fees.

Such thing like 0% full does not exist. Same applies for free lunch
No matter when and who told you that story tail

[yslyung]

can we see some actual pictures of your miners in action ? 

[blarneystone]

Please remove all claims of 0 fee mining from both your website & this thread. By keeping miners Tx fees you are in fact charging them a fee - your claims are misleading & false.

[p3yot33at3r]

I just noticed there is a scam thread dedicated to this pool & bitclubnetwork containing a HUGE amount of proof - check it out:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1152263.0

..then avoid this scam outfit at all costs.

Kudos to member tmfp for starting the scam thread.

[BeastBTC]

Not to mention they are hiring people from the Philippines and paying them very little when they are making a killing. Seriously, you only pay your staff $200 a month to answer questions via chat 24x7?

[GriffinHeart]

I'll try not to be an ass about this, you need some serious screens, more information, release your codes and how exactly you will go about paying miners for their work. If so, I'd be happy to pop 100 gh/'s in there to try it out. Currently it looks real shady. Also be honest about the fee, it''s okay to take 1-3% of earnings, especially if you're just starting out.

Thanks, Griff.

They are using a ckpool based backend, you can see it in their coinbase signature, they appear to have antpool style PPLNS payouts that pay out the full block subsidy but without the transaction fees. I haven't seen anyone complain about not getting payouts at least.

Edit: I mean pool payouts from external mining, I have no idea about their other sites.

You didn't see this then:

well, I was wrong the bastards are SCAMERS! Do not spend with them

Subject: HI unable to log in to my account

AND WAS ABLE TO LOG IN ON SATURDAY BUT NOW I CAN NOT.

I TRIED TO RESET MY PASSWORD BUT I GET THIS MESSAGE

Data entered is not valid.

to me
Your account has been disabled!

You will receive an additional email in the next few days with all the
details, but you will no longer have access to BitClub Network.

We have found clear evidence of you attempting to exploit our invoicing
system and your accounts have all been flagged. We strongly recommend you
return any stolen bitcoin that you took from your actions in creating
these invoices to avoid further action.

******************
Me:
What? All the bitcoin I used was purchased from my Circle Account that I have linked to my bank account. How could I have exploited your invoice system? I can show all transactions and prove that the Bitcoin used is not stolen. Please advise

*******************
BCN:
You were not paying with Bitcoin inside your wallet and this is the
problem, instead you were creating invoices with negative amounts and
using your credit wallet to pay for them. This was a bug that you
exploited and we have since fixed.

You probably found this by accident while trying to add credits to your
main account (lerdbaron). However, after this worked you proceeded to open
two additional accounts (tomass) and (hyepman) and have been creating fake
invoices over the past two days.

No reason to deny any of this because we can easily track the IP address
used to access each of these accounts back to you.

In total you have stolen 19.57 Bitcoin spread out over these 3 accounts
and we are 100% certain about this due to some very high end security
tracking that we have in place.

So, you have two choices...

You can either send all the Bitcoin back to us and we will re-activate
your account and pretend this didn't happen. We will keep a very close eye
on your activity but you will be given full access to your main account

Or two, you can deny this and your accounts will be terminated and we will
file a report to the authorities with the information we have to try and
collect the stolen Bitcoin. Thanks to the transparency of bitcoin there is
no denying this one.

So your choice... We hope you make the right one!

Send 19.57 Bitcoin to - 1E3cXemSthD5ykLTe7Lzj2VEqXkjkqiCxJ

Or your account will be terminated and we will begin the collection process.

*****************
Me:
what are you talking about? I only have one account and only use lerdbaron. And have sent bitcoin using the same wallet, and have not taken the 19 btc you claim out. I was adding btc to my account to get up to $3500.00 and have enough for shares in all plans. So are you trying to steel my btc? If so I will have no choice but to report you to the Authorities in my state. Please restore my account or return my initial btc.

to me
After further review your account is being terminated.

As you can see I was completely wrong about Bitclub Network I am 100% convinced that it is a SCAM!

Have sent an e-mail to the FBI Cyber Crimes division I don`t know how much if any btc I will be able to get back.

The fact that they are using fake testimonials & photos (one of which is a convicted rapist!  ) is reason enough to avoid this outfit.

Not sure how anybody fell for this one....

Apparently they are now among ten biggest pools

https://blockchain.info/pools?show_adv=no

This is the pool side of the scam site

https://bitclubnetwork.com/home.html

I'm not sure, what is the angle with this.  Maybe to add credibility to scam side? Or is the angle the credit card?

Hi,

Anyone maybe know how/when and if at all bitclubpool is paying the miners who pointed their hash to their BitClub Pool Stratum Server:  pool.bitclubpool.com:3333?
Did anyone got even a single satoshi from them? they do not explain their PPLNS system at all, I presume they paid nothing ever?
Cheers

If they are solving blocks and blockchain.info is tracking it, you should be able to see where the new coins are going. Me, I'm too busy atm, but I would find it interesting as well. Maybe later.

well TYVM in advance I have tried to find it on blockchain and blocktrail, but I cant/ not sure how to see if they are only using other miners hash power to mine blocks (all 400+ blocks they solved were sent to their bitclubpool address) and confirm that they are not paying miners, shares of matured blocks at all.
Best regards!!!

Here is their mining address. Have at it. Sorry I didn't think I needed to post it for you. Good luck!

Edit - You will need to follow the withdrawals from this address to see where they ultimately paid out. I see one for close to a million dollars not long ago.

edit 2 - This looks like a typical payout to me, but I don't know much about this scam site. lol.

The 'angle', surely, is that they can efficiently launder the cash they are receiving through their MLM-referral ponzi scam by investing in mining bitcoin. It ensures the money is removed from bank accounts controlled by the group, thereby minimising their risks concerning the accounts and funds being seized, and used to buy hashing power in one form or another so they essentially swap it for bitcoin.

This serves the purpose of keeping their illicit takings from the hands of the authorities, as well as providing faux legitimacy to their MLM/Bitcoin 'investment' scheme due to being able to prove they are mining.

That sounds like a good explanation.

[not.you]

So if the consensus is that this place is a scam, how are they amassing an ever increasing percentage of the network hashrate?
