As the topic is bumped up again and again and the first pages are very positive:
There is a high probability of it being scam!
Reasons to believe this:
- a very high amount of new accounts praising the service
- the domain is registered anonymously
- the waiting time is getting longer (-> hint to a long con)
- the interest rate is insanely high (>30% a week?)
- There are a lot of SatoshiDice transactions from MiningUnited adresses
- The excuse for this was kinda shady (some people want to donate in a "funny way")
- we've gotten no proof that they are really running a mining service yet
Well it's been over a week. I've been withholding making this public since I know once I do I will get a payment.
Here you have it, a real long time member saying they don't pay.
https://blockchain.info/address/181n25vgaDfbUYkaynUEo4haCyutcq3v4iI know this is a long con but now it seems it's also a short con.
And cue the payment with an excuse... 3.. 2.. 1...
To those just now realizing it is a scam ... I mean really. 37% interest for a week? Really? Pirate only gave 7% and that was a massive masssive warning sign.
37% weekly interest is 1,286,676,865% annually. Anyone know a miner which makes 1 billion % profit per year. i.e. guy a $200 GPU, spend $100 in electricity and get $3,860,030,594 in annual mining rewards. That is the kind of gross profits they would need ... just to break even and pay all of it out as interest.
