Unless people can teleport through photo's security is no justification for not showing this mythical 500TH/s facility.

PB Mining is EXCELLENT!!  I have been a member for almost 30 days and 2 weeks from breaking even on my investment.  I'm customer #36

PB pays every Sunday with excellent customer service.  They are vetted on Ebay with a 97% approval rating. They only recently got into the cloud mining business after successfully selling mining equipment for about a year.

I have made good $$ cloud mining, don't let the ignorant posters in these forums scare you off by screaming "scam" to every program.  Do your homework, PM members like myself to verify and then make your own personal decision.

Bit-mining.co in your sig makes me doubt your claim PBmining is good

I am going to hold you to this.

If I get a payout five years from today I will send you a PM requesting a video of you eating your shorts.

If you don't do it, then who is the scammer huh???

Anyway - There's no real evidence for this being a scam, there's not enough evidence for it being legit. The operator however is 5000x more traceable than the admin of any ponzi I've ever heard of though, and all I've been saying is "It has potential to be legitimate" and even that is distasteful to people.

I bought 100gh in feb which have already ROI'd.  Huh Terribly run for a scam if you ask me.

I guess time will tell. I just wish people would shut up with the "OMG THIS LOOKS LIEK A SCAM" when they bring literally no new information or no new extrapolations or deductions to the table.

Haha, I knew someone would take me up on that offer.

As with anything, there is always a chance that it is legitimate but I'm more inclined to believe that in the balance of probabilities it isn't. After all, how hard is it to simply sign a message from an address known to receive newly generated coins - can't really deny that isn't suspicious behavior.

If anything, that idea is consistent with a ponzi. They pay out the earlier members to convince newer members to join and drop the cash. That being said, I'm happy at least someone has made a profit thus far (although it might be a bit unethical if it turns out to be a ponzi after all).

I won't say they are not legit, but just think about things as these everytime you invest: Does 5 year look legit? (no), are the prices realistic? (no), do we have proof of theyr setup? (no).
Again, I won't say they are not legit, but I have my thoughs about it.

I'll say it. They're not legit. If they stopped taking orders today, there is no way they would be able to continue paying out for 5 more years. The numbers just do not add up. The only way thay can stay in business is to get new customers to pay the old ones.

You literally cannot convince some people they're not being scammed.

Funny story, I spotted a scammer on Silkroad, I posted on Reddit outlining the exact details of this scam he was pulling. Someone read my entire post outlining exactly what this scammer was up to and said "he has good feedback, I'm gonna risk it"

And of course that guy got scammed, but he actually decided to buy based on my pointing out that this guy was planning a scam.


tl:dr - People are fuckin retarded.

Considering the amount of money invested and the number of people involved, I would think that folks should actively try and track down who is behind this now while they are still on the radar.  Because once they do vanish, threads like this will be filled with folks asking how to get ahold of them.  And there is just one foreign Ebay account to work through, which is likely a dead-end.

It's not easy to run a fake ebay account they must have used Paypal also so surely that makes it a piss easy job for the authorities when they run out of new money to hand out as returns.

Do you have proof it's a scam though?

I've ROI'd. Even if they disappeared I wouldn't be begging for the dox. But I'm curious.

It's quite easy to have a fake Ebay account.  Scammers proliferate on Ebay, especially back when they were selling preorders for Bitcoins that Ebay had to shut down the activity due to all the complaints.  Paypal would be more difficult but there is no proof they have a Paypal account. 

Also, I'm not sure Mr. Piggles if you actually have the information you are saying you do or not.  Since you're not going to show it to anyone until AFTER they split town, it would be unfortunate to find out that what you have is wrong.

Heres a better idea. Those that are thinking of investing into pbmining, send whatever you are going to invest into them, send your coins to this address  1FpL1PqQ7Wh5ug5SfcBRqtgPqedWKMkcWE Ill send you half the coins you sent to this address, this way you will at least recoup 1/2 your investment. No, I wont pay interest on it..

Dont forget, send it here

1FpL1PqQ7Wh5ug5SfcBRqtgPqedWKMkcWE

You will be ahead by 50 percent....

Edit: Just checked out their Ebay feedback and at least 30 of the 106 were from selling contracts and before that it was about a year since they sold a few small miners. This is such an obvious scam...

Has been 5 days now since I paid 0.6 Bitcoin to Pbmining - they didnt set up the mining for me - the money is just gone. Support e-mails: unanswered for 5 days now. Go figure! Its a SCAM.pbmining is a scam and I will spread this until I got my money back or the mining installed.

post your transaction #  [blockchain data].
pb hasnt failed any customer, yet.

I think they are ponzi because noone can have a >500 Ths bitcoin mining station without getting noticed from others. But as long as more people invest in the site, they can still use that money to payout. As one of the early bird that invest in Pb I have already ROI and now i can sit back and watch my btc grow each week w.o any worry.

Or just a low-fee way to get rid of stolen coins. Why not expose them now? They may have enough coin sitting around that they'll last years.

Is it id related?  Who else have you 'doxxed'?  If you have evidence then by not showing it, you are encouraging him.

Hey guys,

For a comprehensive comparison of cloud mining services check this out: https://cloudmining.guru/wp/

PBMining seems to be good but there are even better rated services like https://genesis-mining.com using very innovative products to get even more out of the hashpower!
