Have you been scammed by Mintsy cloud mining service?

Press releases and ads said that it was a project by Cryptsy and Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) traded company DIGITAL CC LIMITED (ticket DCC@ASX).

Do not hesitate to lodge a complaint to Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
DigitalCC has a lot of money, so ASIC can force them to pay our money back.

Hey there, I too am one of those that Mintsy swindled and handled shamelessly for 2 months.

For me they are scammers, pure vile scum and villainy. They sold the contracts when they did know they could not deliver as promised. The contract I bought did not even mine 1 $ worth for its lifespan.

Their support adds insult to injury, with their lies to everyone who is asking for refund.

I was thinking about going in with a class action lawsuit against them since they must have sold hundreds of contracts, and I for one will not let them get away with what they have done.

It's not a huge sum, 150 bucks they scammed me for, but it is a matter of principle for me now.

Who else is out there that wants them to pay for what they did?

Remember there is strength in numbers, and they will be shitting in their pants when they see a crowd closing in where they will also pay for legal bills and damage compensation. We should organize.

Related to the subject and to confirm a hunch, is there anybody out there that paid with a fiat wire transfer instead of BTC, and got a refund. I suspect they paid / will pay the fiat transfers and leave the BTC paying folks high and dry.

just saw this thread.

I tried renting machines on mintsy a number of times....both as someone providing hash and also renting hash.

It never worked out. I think I tried for a couple of days on two different occasions

Never got expected hash rate when renting and seemingly ratings were cooked up. Rates also.

I did get partially refunded for my rentals and never went back.

Does it still operate?

no operation for me I have a pending case for 3 months now for a refund and keep giving me crap about once operation is fully back up and running will be refunded. 3 months on and no refund and support are getting lasy at responding to tickets too. Think I will star to take legal action against them to recover funds. Was only small but to be fair could of been a lot more if it continued proper and would of rolled over but now waste of time doing anything and I would strongly advise staying the hell away from them.

the amounts I put in to mine were small...not worth taking legal action. I also was able to get whatever coins I mined thru them......into crypsty (of course).
Hash rates always lagged for long time and I never got what I thought I should have...would have thought with all the state of the art interfaces out there they could have done better.

For the part of 2 months where good but never 100% as told or meant to be on contract did boost it to make up for lost hash. But the last month or so due to their so called re location was nothing but total BS guess time will tell as cryptsy and all their partners  pulled out so they are on their own and no doubt wont last much longer.

Well looks like this has now turned 100% scam. They have stopped all payments as payment of my remaining small amounts of coins are stuck in pending for more than 2 weeks now. And my last comments to their support their is no answer in 3 weeks yet I have responded almost each week created new tickets and even sent support tickets in from other emails with new business making it look like am a new customer looking for advise and seems still no answers.

Who would be interested in getting a lawsuit made against them and trying to recover peoples funds with a collective fund account that people can pay into to cover legal fees and getting it in action?

@BitJohn Any word form them did you ever contact them regarding you saying will try to contact them and get some response off them. The people you said to go to have no part in Mintys now and it seems that Mintys is its own thing on its own now.

I decided to start this topic because Mintsy's offered by cloud mining is complete scam !  Angry

There are lots of people in SHA-256 and Scrypt side with inactive contract.
Workers were long time way too low under promised hashrate.
External pools don't work at all, you can't point your hashpower anyware but Mintsy pools, but now those are inactive too.
I have Potcoins in and they don't allow to withdraw them.
And finally now my two contracts have been inactive last 10 days!
Support answers fast and like this everytime:  "My apologies, unfortunately we have not been able to resolve the issue with inactive workers at this time. We are currently seeking a new provider. (our old provider Digital BTC has backed out of our contract) Once a new provider is active, accounts will go live again and we will decide on case by case basis what we will be doing with accounts that were affected.

Your patience is greatly appreciated as we go through this transition. Thank you, have a great day!"

Have a great day? LMAO  Grin

Stay away from this SCAM!

Look at where Cryptsy is, today...  and wonder why Mintsy (Cryptsy-sponsored or a business OF Cryptsy?) was failing so quickly?  When businesses/CEO's choose to lie and delay and distract, instead of coming clean, when an issue arises, these kinda things happen.  The crypto-coin scene seems pretty much criminal in every nook and cranny.  This entire world is nuts.  Jesus needs to come back, to sort it all out...

I had bought a $500 Scrypt hashing contract from them last year, and during the time that it actually worked, I automined, and then eventually moved to mining SJWCoins, converting it all directly to Dogecoins, and with that, I managed to amass what is now valued at about $350 in Dogecoins. I wish we could get a class action suit going, since they only managed to provide me with about 50-60% of the promised hashing power, and only for the duration of about 30% of my contract period, the rest being purely idle time while they "sorted out issues" with their upstream hashing provider.

I also stupidly used Cryptsy for most of my conversions, boy am I glad I didn't leave more than a negligible amount of change stored in their system.

E: Whoops, forgot that I also made enough to buy a new Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite from Newegg, which was about $100. So I almost made back all of my money on the deal.
