Be advised that zeushash a/k/a/ zeusminer, has now changed its name to halleybtc after many users have reported inability to withdrawl. I deposited a test amount a couple of days before they started having "technical problems". Below is the nonsesical reply I got

Quote
Hello,

These days the system occurred some errors. I am so sorry for any inconvenience caused. Our operators are speeding up processing. We will make up for your loss of profits as soon as possible. Don't worry about it.

That reply was not comforting, and considering I had not done any due diligence prior to "investing", I politely requested a full refund, as I had just created the account and had not accrued any btc. I believed this to be a reasonable request. That is when the emails went cold. I waited a few days, and again asked for a full refund. More silence.

Now I am not able to withdrawl my "interest", I am not able to cancel my account, and I am not able to contact support. I am leary of logging into this website as this company has not shown they are trustworthy so I have to assume that btc is gone entirely. I can't prove beyond for a fact that this is a ponzi, but it sure is walking like one & talking like one. At best they are an inept mining operating. At worst, they are mining personal information.

You & I can aquire more btc, but halleybtc can not buy integrity.


I know, a fool and his money, I should not have invested here to begin with. After this rebranding to halleybtc.com, and refusal to cancel my account I don't even care about the btc. I am on a personal crusade to prevent as many other people from falling victims as possible to the halley btc a/k/a/ zeushash scam

Please do not invest in halleybtc, not even as an experiment.

I am not certain, but they appear to be hosted at qq.com. There web registrar seems to be godaddy. They also utilize cloudflare and other web based services. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get someone to listen?

Ic3.gov? abuse@godaddy.com? abuse@qq.com? Thoughts?

Hi

I've made a small investment with Zeushash.com, withdraw day before yesterday and confirmed it, yesterday withdraw and confirmed it and no bits in wallet as of yet.

I've sent out an email"

Hi
 
I’m a bit concerned about the stories on all the forums regarding pay-outs and that Zeushash is a Ponzi scheme.
Please advise.

Answer from them"

Hello.

Zeus is definitely not a Ponzi scheme. It was founded more than two years ago.
And we will continue with its dedication to the world’s best and profitable
Bitcoin mining products so as to present to all of you high ROI.

Best Wish
Zeus Service Team

So we as an Security Company did a bit of digging and found the first email we received came from a company Cloud Flare (  San Francisco ) and second confirmation email to withdraw came from a company Rackspace Hosting (  San Antonio ) and that is only two withdraws, we might be wrong and they need some help to send out there emails.We as a company send thousands of emails to our clients with the same IP address and at almost no cost, once again we might be wrong?

We did some more digging on the website itself and found the following:

I remember I see their new comer bonus when they start. Of course I join because free hash. But I never invested because it is cloud mining! Cloud mining = ponzi for me. :p

Filing complaints with their registrar & webhost will not have the same impact as being vocal on message boards. If you have been victimized, speak up; it is the least you can do & it is effective.

No doubt they are working on their next big scheme, because the halleybtc name is tarnished. If anyone catches wind of the name of their next ponzi, please update so we can stay one step behind them until they get shut down for good

I received my latest withdrawal from Zeushash on 11/23/2015, with no problems. 11/19/2015 was the one before that, so I haven't had any problems since the rare server error last month. I tried the HalleyBTC service and received all the interest earned during the 10-day promotion. I was a bit nervous about Zeushash during last month, but they have been paying me since then, so maybe I'm just lucky. Anyone else?

... but, it was 14 days ice cube bonus for learning experience ... it melted after 14 days ... so, remained 0.004 btc in current deposit
.. i started to learn investments and googled 0.02# daily interest rate . lol .. interesting ... i said i withdraw ... not available.... okay
i wanted to convert to fixed deposit 15%/mth --- not available....so, it is staying there and not melting ... lol .. permafrost .. haha ..

$10K per year (divine dollars) per email address registered in forum, i invest all that money in 10 areas by 1000 dd and they produce 0.1%
fiat dollars a month .... i do it all manually and extensively .... until someone finds software developers to create it as accordingly can be
