What do you know about them? Glancing over their website, I can find some credentials that appear to check out, but only concern their trading business. I find pretty much nothing about their mining operation beyond a bitfury logo. Is there more?

I don't know much about them. Thought you may know some more. I asked them in their announcement post to provide some more info:

thx, added. I was inclined to give them half a point for referrals (at 1% thats not a huge red flag), but when I see "Days Online: 3 | Last update: Dec 9, 2014 | Started: Dec 6, 2014" its almost as if they dont mind you know its a ponzi, by touting you can still get in early.

Let me know if something changes.

It is like this for about three weeks now (not to talk about X11 which is "available soon" since about three months)

Not really, it an oldie, it has pyramid right in its name, people still invested including myself back in like 2011. It was more honest because it actually told you it was a pyramid scheme and surprisingly actually did a little mining. I got 10% back. As much of a pyramid scam it was, it was honest in a way.

Then I point to the disclaimer which I put up there for a reason.

That said, Im willing to take bets the ones I labeled 'legit" will not vanish in the next days or weeks or 6 months. Im equally willing to make escrowed bets that the 7/7 ponzi's will run with the money within the next ~6-9 months. So yeah, Ill put my money where my mouth is.

LOL, not quite flat lining yet but definitely not looking too healthy.

Anyway, as 'Eric Rosby' said, the Superheroes are on the case.

Quick correction here, because it's irrationally bugging me: Your entry for GAWMiner should be GAWMiners, plural. That's what they call themselves, anyway.  Wink

Always use escrow. OgNasty is pretty sweet.

Help me out with compiling a list of mining datacenters!

Nonsense! Some are legitimate businesses and that includes AM Hash, but even Zeus and Genesis among some others.
