I saw a few posts on Reddit about miningunited.com and that it was legit but I do not see how it is possible, he would be better off just mining? Does anyone else think this seems really fishy? I put a BTC.02 order in to see how it would go. EDIT 5/16/13: miningunited.com is now CLOSED. Emailing them returns an instant auto-reply email that says: Attention,

What exactly does a .02BTC order do for you?
Would it scale the same, and turn your .02 into 0.0274? If so, let me know. And let me know what the timeframe is like.

Let us know how it works out. It could be a pyramid scheme. How many Mhps do you think he is getting? Windows 7 Pro Cooler Master HAF XB Case OCZ ZX 1250W PS ASUS F2A85-V Pro AMD A10 5800K APU 2x Sapp Radeon HD 7970 2x Gig Radeon HD 7950 PCI-E x1 x16 Riser Cable 12GB DDR3 RAM Seagate Barracuda SSD 1TB x5
- http://miningunited.com/server.htmlI guess that x5 at the bottom indicates he has 10x 7970s and 10x 7950s.

I will crunch some rough numbers. 7950x10: 500-600/ea = 5-6 GH/s 7970x10: 600-700/ea = 6-7 GH/s So something like ~11-13 GH/s Calc says it is $56-66/day That is, if he even has those kind of specs

Until you get at least 2 verifications always assume a scam. This looks like one.

I don't see how taking in bitcoins is going to get you more in return, unless he's really turning them around, getting new hardware, and paying out at some point. Doesn't seem like a wise investment. Keep your bitcoins, and sell em yourself at some point. There's been enough fluctuation in the market for you to get a good return on your own (in my not so educated opinion)

For 500 MH/s he pays 0.011 BTC in 72 hrs. According to http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/ 500 MH/s would generate 0.084 BTC in that amount of time. So he keeps 87% and has your 0.02 capital for 3 days. He must buy more hardware with the capital and it acts like a loan for him, where he borrows 0.02 for 3 days and pays 0.011 (55%) interest? It's interesting that the % payback decreases as you "invest" more BTC.
