Yes.. I was one of the members of this campaign, and they got me for 0.032 BTC. {80 Posts}

They could have had a good business, but they decided to run and steal. Which is a pity, because, people thought they were legit.

I guess we going to see a lot of these in future. They just pop up under a new name and a new site. {Nobody vet them or regulate them, so they free to steal as much as they want}

yep got scammed with sig campaign of 0.08btc, Im afraid people should trusting newbies that come in here, and let them put there btc in escrow for now on.  This way we can avoid scams and not just for one month for like 6 months they should do this.

[kingscrown]

got scammed too for advertising on my blog/twitter etc.

[koshgel]

Saw a lot of signatures for luamine around. Unfortunate they are nothing more than scammers.

I thought the appeal of their campaign was up front payments? That didn't occur?

[alani123]

People that used their service were also scammed? Do we have any sum of how much money they went away with?

[jjc326]

I was scammed of .048 BTC from their signature campaign.

Yes, people who bought hashing power with them were scammed too. They can't withdraw anything and the website is gone. The owner came on with some excuse about blackmail and said there would be a delay in payments. Also indicating his bad intent though, he went on his sig campaign thread and deleted the second post of the thread where he kept track of past payments and how much he owed to current members.

The sig campaign was less than 1 BTC owed I believe. However he was over 1000 bitcoin scammed for cloud mining, I think it was like 1900 someone had tracked.

i know at least 1 user who paid 20BTC...

[xstr8guy]

I invested 4.4 BTC with Lunamine for 2THs. This is my second failure after the BFL Monarch. But I've been very lucky otherwise. I'm even close to break-even with PBMining.

[jjc326]

I think we need to be very wary about new new clod mining or similar  service that opens up soon or just recently opened. I really think in amine is going to try this again. All services need to be investigated.

[valvalis]

I wonder why there more people trust in lunamine than PBmining just because lunamine has signature campaign.
Finally Lunamine is the BIG FAT SCAM

Seems as if all leads again and again to this address:

https://blockchain.info/address/15YoDfLcYWpY39C5eHANviTj1CjQ75UH5e

Although there are a lot of BTC on it, I doubt that all come from the scam.

It all ended up in this address 1B8XBJ3g7sNZj4AUtJ15UgcfE3waYw7pPL with almost the same coin count as the suspected address 15YoDfLcYWpY39C5eHANviTj1CjQ75UH5e.

Wow that's a VERY CLEAR path into the "holding address" ! I wasn't able to track my BTC deposit very far as it seemed to get split up after a number of transactions ... however yours looks utterly UNMISTAKABLE !

I wonder if it's because you bought in at the beginning of their operation when there would have been fewer customers due to it being a new 'business' and word hadn't got around yet ? i.e. there would've been fewer Addresses in use back then ...

Can anyone else make a connection to https://blockchain.info/address/1B8XBJ3g7sNZj4AUtJ15UgcfE3waYw7pPL ?

Still we do not know if the ultimate adresses are from someone within Lunamine or not. He wrote that he is part of a bigger operation and mentioned 200 TH which are running for this "operation" on another pool. This could be a legit operation and he - as part of it - just wanted to make some extra money - or it could be something bigger. Remember how often there was some complains about 200 TH hopping from one pool to the other?

Third version: He made it up....

[odlal]

Yes, if it is a part of something bigger, then it would take disclosure from the owner of the "pooling address" to come clean about things !

Unless it is a bigger scam - and that's what I suppose...

Lunamine I did your stupid signature campaign instead of spending more time with my son. I was going to get him something nice with my signature payment.  May god have mercy on your soul.
