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

That's the shitty thing about ponzi schemes, everyone reports getting paid and it seems legit.

And that's why you don't test it with sending a big sum there...
You take a look at the business model/transparency and such things instead

(Also I'm kinda angry at you that you throw over 30 BTCs to them like it's nothing, for me thats quite a lot of money and for some other people on this world that's like an unobtainable amount of money).

We are the 99%

The site has been "updating" all day. Translation: MU's team of crack lawyers is furiously playing Satoshi dice and generating funny payouts.

Yup, this is the end, my only friend the end.

No updates tomorrow, it's time to get the pitchforks out.

Why pitchforks? There was ample warnings and everything points toward it being a ponzi. It even says on his site that he will  take it and run at anytime.

If you still chose to send them money, then the responsibility and consequences are solely on your shoulders.

I like the deposits that just say "going out". He left off "the back door".

It may be a bit early, but if you were scammed by MU, here's one way to make life difficult for him. This is the FBI cyber fraud unit with a form for filing complaints:

Loads up fine in my browser. I guess they are not playing SD after all.

A bit early? No kidding. The lynch mob here has grown with amazing speed, with frankly very little evidence of any actual wrongdoing.

Not trying to say whether this guy is legit or not, just making an observation.

It really seems too good to be true doesn't it.

Where the fuck is my payment you scam fucks

Here you have it, a real long time member saying they don't pay.

Can you explain to me how to read this information? I mean you present the link as some sort of QED, but it's not that obvious to most people here (this is the newbie forum after all).

The link shows a payment of 0.05 coming in to your account, then going out to MU, then another payment of 0.0544 coming in from a foreign address that could potentially belong to MU. How is this some sort of smoking gun? Explain that to me, please.

That's what it looks like. They paid MU on 5-4-13 0.05 BTC and on 5-14-13 they received 0.544 BTC. 10 day turnaround on the payment.

He was just frustrated because he thought he got scammed for 0.05 BTC. I'm sure he was expecting it in 3-4 days. It does seem that payments are taking longer. I'm still getting mine though. Don't know if it's because I'm a premium member, or what.

MU is a dubious business but there's no evidence it's a scam or ponzi scheme. It's all speculation until MU shuts down and runs with the money.

Agreed. It's no secret I've been a supporter of them since they started.

Yes, it's crappy that they are not responding to emails right now. I can understand them not posting on bitcointalk, or even monitoring this forum. Since day one, they have been labeled as scammers. There's been some nasty posts by other members. I wouldn't want to deal with it either.

Fact is I haven't seen one post yet where someone has not gotten paid. (And provided proof that they even sent bitcoins.) Now, Bitpop's account took 10 days. Longer then I would like, but still got it. Was there anyone else? Anything over 10 days?

I'm still comfortable sending them bitcoins. Now, I would not be sending 30 bitcoins at a time, nor everything I had. But I've made enough from them that if they folded tomorrow, i'd still be ahead.

Just be smart.

I sent 0.25 BTC on May 8 and haven't received anything yet; however, my address has the status "Going out..." on MU so it will arrive soon-ish. I expected it to take ~10 days because that's what the website estimates. I don't think anyone really read and comprehended the timeframes.

That is easy for you to say some people have large amounts deposited with them. Some claim the site shows them paid but they have not only not received the payment but have emailed MU several times without response. For those who feel they have been scammed, I offered one place they can go for recource. It's up to the individual how long they wish to wait. So here it is again the FBI's cyber-fraud unit:

LMAO! You want proof mining united is a scam? How about this: MU said on the board, he had no connection with BTC Cheap and lo and behold now MiningUnited.com redirects to BTC Cheap. There you have it MU in a bald faced lie, not to mention the original site is gone.

[bitpop]

OMG I knew they were onto their NEXT scam but shit! I didn't think they would connect them! I would have left MU to collect trickle payments for a while.

Here it comes:

"Btcheap hacked us! Sorry, all the BTC is gone."

"To claim a payout or set-up recently purchased mining service:
BTCcheap.com | BTCcheap@Gmail.com"

Now it's down altogether. Alright, you guys called it, I'm an idiot.

Yeah I just emailed them. Lost me 1.5 BTC - but I could afford it so not too bad, just the principle. Just getting insults from them now.
