So it turns out soniq is either incompetent or a scammer.
Let's take a look at the facts:
1) Bought one share for 1.33 BTC.
Turns out the BTC was not changed immediately to USD and therefore I was 0.34 BTC behind when the miner was bought, since bitcoin had decreased in value. No proof shown of payment dates.
-> Incompetent management decision, insufficient transparency, lack of communication.
2) All of a sudden we are informed that the hosting was paid upfront for 17 BTC in total.
No proof of hosting payments.
-> Incompetent management decision, insufficient transparency, lack of communication.
3) Miners are hosting half speed for several days, all of them, for no apparent reason.
No proof of actual performance issues.
-> Incompetent management decision, insufficient transparency, lack of communication.
4) Miner three appears to be returned for repair. No proof shown.
-> Insufficient transparency, lack of communication.
5) A vote turns out in favor of selling all miners, although most comments on the forum are against selling the miners. No comments on the 17 BTC paid upfront for the hosting fee.
No proof shown of the actual voting.
-> Incompetent management decision, insufficient transparency, lack of communication.
6) All miners are turned of before any receive an actual bid. Miners 2,4,5 might be sold.
Still no proof shown of an actual buyer for any of the miners.
Miners are not turned back on.
-> Incompetent management decision, insufficient transparency, lack of communication.
Although I might have missed a few 'management decisions', I expect those will not change my main conclusion.
All these management decisions show clear signs of incompetence.
However, all these decisions in sequence, nobody is this incompetent.
Draw your own conclusions.
I should have known not to trust someone with a name that sounds like a nineties video game hero who steals all coins he can grab.
