Is miningunited.com a SCAM, turning .1 bitcoins into .137 for almost free?

[joker_josue]

But if the idea is to collect as many money as possible at the same time, what is the purpose of imposing limits to accept requests?

[blindfaith]

Yeah, I agree with your point entirely, they still have potential to run away at any time with large amounts but for anyone who wanted to test a mini service from them I've been the guinea pig lets say lol. - I've seen people in their recorded payments send in multiple of the biggest package so there is some trust there.. I dunno though, I'm just happy not to have been scammed for now!

& lol I know, in my head anti scam bump would mean to bump the subject and say they don't scam.

But if the idea is to collect as many money as possible at the same time, what is the purpose of imposing limits to accept requests?

Either too seem more genuine or it's real and they're trying to give others a chance rather than x amount of people just 'milk' their service?




I dunno it's strange, most people i've read of that claim to have been scammed have either not updated the latest or they did eventually get payment (later than advertised)..

still not paid and no response to emails over the past 24 hrs..look on the list.. payouts above and below mine have been paid ..could someone do some form of batch check to see who is not getting paid??

[blindfaith]

I think yours is still mining or processing at some stage.

wrong according to block chain and my wallet....

only payment is my original payment to mining united

if you follow the "click here" sign (on mymining page) you will see payment goes to 2583 then gap..

Most ponzi schemes do this.  Trendon Shavers TFB(tm) did.  It is a way to get more money in the long run.

Purchases over 6.00 BitCoin (of one payment) come with an additional +0.15 payout!

Trendon Shavers TFB(tm) also did this to get more "big fish".

Sending 3 BTC at one time makes you a "bigger fish".  By the time Trendon Shavers TFB(tm) ran the biggest fish had 10,000 or more BTC with him.  This guy is small time, but still a scam.  He will try to scale up as much as possible within the contraints of his system.

I dunno it's strange, most people i've read of that claim to have been scammed have either not updated the latest or they did eventually get payment (later than advertised)..

Trendon Shavers TFB(tm) also did this, right up until the point at which he took it all.

[BurtW]

Just read the full story of what happened with "BitCoin Savings & Trust". Wow. Completely understand why there are such strong emotions. We have no relation to "Trendon Shavers or any related websites or services.

Mining United may not be Trendon but they sure learned a lot from his playbook.

One question:

How can hash it takes to generate 1BTC in 24 hours? (Average)



To understand how far the interest rate is high and there is a potential scam.

[BitCoinNewGuy]

I wonder if he will ever get caught

Are you retarded? It says ON THE SITE that it is a scam. IT SAYS ON THE SITE HE IS TELLING YOU HE MAY RUN AT ANYTIME IN RED! Did you even read my POST??

CLICK THE LINK ON THE BOTTOM OF EVERY PAGE, AND IN RED IN THE TERMS:

MINING UNITED RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CANCEL ANY / OR ALL TRANSACTIONS AT ANYTIME, FOR ANY REASON WITH NO BITCOIN OR OTHER TYPE REFUND. ANY BITCOIN(S) SENT TO ANY 'BITCOIN ADDRESSES' ON THIS WEBSITE HAVE A ZERO MONETARY VALUE ($USD OR OTHER) ONCE RECEIVED. MINING UNITED IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FINANCIAL LOSS RESULTING FROM USE. WITH ALL 'INVESTMENTS' THERE IS ASSUMED RISK.

There is no "getting caught". I just called him again, no answer figures!

IT CLEARLY SAYS HE CAN RUN AT ANYTIME WITH ALL THE BITCOIN!

We (Mining United) have the right to shutdown our services at any time with no refund to any current transactions.

[BitCoinNewGuy]

IT IS BEEN BROUGHT UP MANY TIMES: WHY ONLY NEWBS ARE SUPPORTING MINING UNITED. REASON IS CLEAR! MORE SENIOR MEMBERS HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK AND KNOW ABOUT THESE SCAMS. LISTEN TO THEM! All you NEWBS will get scammed, and need too, it's the only way you retards can learn - obviously you don't listen.

bitpop, burtW my hero. At least I listed to you, you may have saved me 5 bitcoin!

Placed a pretty big order 30+ BTC, I will immediately post the results which should help people conclude if this is a scam or not.

So far I am leaning in the direction of ponzi scheme, but if they pay me it's going to be hard for me to argue that. I would advise people to wait until they hear back from me before making any big deposits.

Either you are crazy, hoping you get paid because you are saying it in pucblic or part of miningunited.
Why would you risk over $3000 for this?

[jipper3691]

check my details above on the site and on blockchain info,,, i have also noted that quite a few of the multiple payments are not being paid. 3 emails now and no response... i cannot believe i did this??

I have a much larger stack of coins so this is purely a gamble for me. If they come through I'll feel comfortable giving them more of that stack. I bought in cheap back when it was $7.2. I do NOT work for miningunited, if I did, why would I say I'm leaning towards it being a ponzi scheme?

Someone has to be a guinea pig, imagine if everyone called Avalon a scam? I'm not going to defend miningunited until they come through with the payment (which isn't due for another few days), but if they do, I'm going to let everyone know they paid me. If not, you can be rest assured it's a scam or a ponzi scheme.

That's not how ponzi schemes work, if you publically say that you are gonna test it (and even want to give more if it works) they will be glad to throw money at you for your free advertisment and possible next coins just to be able to scam even more after that.

If we want to test it, we have to give them less.
When it's no ponzi they shouldn't have any problems paying back, because they could run the mining for themselves.
If it's a ponzi they can only rely on SatoshiDice luck to be able to pay.

You will prove nothing, you are only condoning it! You will get paid, post here and open up yourself and others to a much bigger loss.

Sure it would still be a possibility even if they paid me. BUT, if they're totally fulfilling the terms of the agreement, I don't see that as a scam. Seems to be a lot of people on the fence about this and plenty of people already 100% confident it's a scam. The point of my post was to state my stake and promising to report back.

If he pays me exactly what the agreement was, how can I say "see what a scam that was"?

The whole reason I posted is because there are a lot of people unsure about this guy. So I put my coins where my mouth was and decided to find out. If it works out, great, I'll be doing more business with him, if not, scam and you guys can all say 'I told you so'.

What I would advise gamblers like me to do is to wait for my results before putting any large amounts into them.
