Gigamining / Teramining

[jamesg]

Is the upgrade cost still 0.29btc per share?

No. It was lowered to .25 per.

I wish I could just sell my shares and have some of my coins returned from the original investment.

That's my wish too....
If I could just sell all my shares for the half amount of money which i have invested in, i would do...

If James would allow us I figured out a fair way to be sure all is traded fair and he would be in control of it but there is never any comment on this!  See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=75802.msg1606524#msg1606524

Why would he allow us to do that when he can keep them without paying anyone a single satoshi?

Fun fact: As of Monday, 4,520.44880453 BTC have been claimed and paid to Gigaminers. This includes 1,191 individual weekly payments made over 29 transactions through the Bitcoin network.

Since more claims come in every day, I am continuing to waiting to release more stats. Doesn't make much sense to release number that continue to change every week.

Fun fact: not mine, and until you keep my coins against my will you remain a thieve.

Yes, I would even be willing to forgo all the shares if he would at least back pay the dividends. If only in hindsight.... sigh

I would like to share my story as well:

It took me 5 days in total to claim back my Dividends and Shares.

Through Wednesday and Thursday I filled all the documents and got an appostile. Then I sent hard copies through registered mail to Gigavps lawyer and in addition scanned copies of the documents to Gigavps email. On Monday I got full Dividends and the right to upgrade to Teramining when the equipment will be ready.

Total cost was around 120 EUR (100EUR for the documents and 20EUR for the shipping). As you see I am from Europe.

P.S. I could have lowered notarization cost, but I wanted to complete my claim as soon as possible.

He'll accept them as attached PDF files of the scanned docs, no need to send hard copies unless requested I believe, my claim went through without np.

I did it all for 30€.

can't believe some of you people

like seriously.. no wonder you all get scammed / ripped off so often... you guys just make it so easy for them...
and each time someone takes advantage of you, it just inspires 10x more people to do the same.

The sad thing is I bet most of you are actually Adults (and yip free to do what you like with your $$) but yeah.... its sickening.

[occulta]

My claim was processed very quickly once submitted, i am awaiting monday for dividends to be paid.

+1 so far!

But what is the point for an appostile? You could easily "photoshop" stamp to make it look real.

Anyway I think I missed the announcement that it is enough to send scanned copy

Please then do not hesitate and enlighten me with your understanding

I think he means people go way to easy on scammers here. I know you can't do much if the majority plays along. But in a healthy world this thread would be flooded with annoyed customers. I mean at least a post per customer per day until this is fixed. The scammer would be exposed wherever he tried to do business. Unfair behavior would not be tolerated and nobody would stop until it is fixed.

I don't think you or Justin00 is wrong. However many things depend on different points of view. I would correct your statement a bit to make my assumption. Majority (>50%) of shareholders claimed shares back. In other words it is widely adopted principle of Democracy. According to that principle if the majority is satisfied with the situation, it creates further direction for the business. And people who did not claim shares back are the minority.

It does not matter if this thread is healthy or not, but there are always annoyed customers in any kind of business activity, in most cases there are two sides of the trade: buyer and seller, and in most cases both cannot win in a short term.

P.S. I do not have strict position if Gigavps decisions are fair or unfair, I do not have enough reputation or even competence to judge that. I did my own due diligence and evaluated my own risks. The outcome was very much positive: to spend one hundred Euro in order to get back couple of thousands Euro in BTC value (expected value of Teramining is not included) and be exposed to identity theft, alternative time cost or whatever risk I am/will be facing. Nevertheless, I would think for smaller shareholders due diligence could show completely different outcome.

To be fair, to put a a scammer label on somebody you need to have intention as a starting point.
In the case of gigamining I don't see clear intention.
However, James did change the rules and I'll have to wait before I made my final judgment about him.
