Thank you for the warning... However, it would be nice if you followed the scam accusations template in the future... It makes things a little bit more readable for the rest of us Wink

for your reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0

Also, some proof (screenshots) would have been nice

Bizarre behaviour from OP, he is now actively promoting and referring noobs to this scam in the cesspool, Investor-based Games.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1336844.

Reading between the lines, he got Bit knocked after making a promo vid for the scammers and after a row they paid him out in some contract value, so he's trying to get his money by helping them rip others off.

No it's not closed, you can't even do that properly.

I suppose that threatening to post a scam accusation unless you are given money could be construed as blackmail, irrespective of whether you think you're owed it or not. Of course, if it's true, that's different, isn't it?

Original post from OP (my bold)

Bitknock Mining, this site is a Scam and after being promised an amount of btc to create tutorial videos regarding this company they stopped replying. I have been trying for several days to insist they reply and compensate me as we had agreed.
Obviously this casts shadows on the legitimacy of this company, they claim to be a cloud mining company but it runs on a PONZI system and uses the Multi level Marketing scheme also known as a Pyramid.
I would like all people to stay away from this company as they do not keep good communication and they can obviously not comply with the promises they made.
Mainly the site consists of buying CONTRACTS which basically just secure positions in the pyramid while earning you small comisions depending on how many new members yours have signed up etc. I have fallen prey to other scams before but I am done with these bullshit get rich quick schemes, my own fault I guess but cloud mining seems very adictive like Gaming.

tmfp.. it seems that you have a lot of experience in Bitcoin mining and that you take your time to do thorough research before development. Is there any way for us to keep in touch or contact each other? I tried to reach out and find your email but it seems to be private

Out of curiosity, did bitknock have any kind of "ann" or "main" thread somewhere? A search of their name on the forum came up blank.

From the looks of it, they did mine some blocks, although that really does not say very much, especially considering that it is not difficult to rent hashpower to solomine

edit: it appears that the linked address belongs to KNC, and it is not clear why it is tagged on blockchain.info with "Bitknock"

Most of the cloud mining websites are ponzi schemes trying to disguise themselves as a cloud mining contract provider.
