The Unofficial HashProfit Thread

[alienesb]

Well... the "official" thread was locked by coinmaster22 here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=888534.0

He took his ball and ran home just like HP took our BTC and ran home. This is an unmoderated thread but try to keep it civil.

What we do know about HP for certain:

They stopped making payments on 12/25/14
They had a massive sale on hash with 75% off

What they say happened (I'm paraphrasing):

We were hacked! We'll get you more info on January 5th, 2015. If you want expedited help use a web form that you have to pay BTC with.

Yes..CoinMaster222 has been promoting HP and prob made a lot of BTCs on referrals.
He should therefor feel some kind of responsibility for this situation, and help out as much as he can.
We should collect as much information in this thread before he deletes the old one.

Even better to save the OFFICIAL HASHPROFIT THREAD - display ALL (or click the above https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=888534.0;all), print/save as pdf. Better do this, especially if you have invested any serious amount.

If this goes belly up I don't see any serious way to get the coin back. Sorry to say it but with these kinds of things you're kind of screwed.

If these guys develop a smartPFC gateway to fiatworld they will become overnight heroes - Jan 2nd I want to buy my dogfood in pfc! that's the only way out for crypto.

[darkangel11]

Maybe gather all available information in this thread, like ip and crypto addresses, details of people that own the domain and so on.

[letyouearn]

Again another official scam cloud mining site who scam us professionally.

[broadsword]

coinmaster22 closed the hread because i stated facts. i said there were 779k coins on for sale on c-cex but he said tha was not possible as he said dev did not dump that much premine but it was clearly showing that number and many people can vouch that they were. its no fud.

whether he is working for hp or not it does look like a scam.

I know coinmaster22 personally and he ain't working for 'em. He just made official thread(after asking HP) because he found their Official thread was inactive.

Yes, it may be a scam. Lets just believe these words like we believed in their mining and wait for their devs come.

Our service has undergone the most serious attack during the existence of the project. Due to the fact that most of the specialists of the company is on New Year's weekend, it was decided to secure the safety of users of funds and infrastructure protection service from breaking suspend the site before the first Monday in 2015 (January 5). On this day, all service specialists will return to their jobs and work of the service will continue as normal. Stay calm. Thank you for understanding.

Nothing like that. He mis-understood Hashprofit. He has contacted their support and got good replies. He took PFC a bit seriously too.

About his personal things: I am really sorry! I can't give it without asking to him but he is from UK.

Yes. That's his. No harm done from his side except the advertisements that he believed would be good. Let me try to correct him.

I think we should wait until 5th of January. Everything will be clear.

He mis-understood Hashprofit.

It doesnt even matter if he did or not.  At least in the US, its defined as "knowingly or recklessly" promoting  or providing material support for security fraud. You can look it up for your own country, but its likely similar. There is no doubt what he did was at least reckless. Whether or not it was knowingly, Im pretty sure it was, but legally it doesnt even matter.

It interesting to note that under said SEC regulation, coinmaster could be considered liable to the same degree as the perpetrators, who may  remain anonymous and/or out of reach. Something to keep in mind next time anyone wants to promote a ponzi.

Just a small doubt, if we can't find that anonymous person, how can they punished?

That's the only hope for investors!

Doesnt seem like conmaster222 would be anonymous enough.
BTW, googling around, it seems promoting ponzi's is illegal in Russia too:

The bill also stipulates punishment for those who compel people to make a payment and join a pyramid scheme.

The Finance Ministry has also proposed amending the Administrative Offences Code to introduce administrative penalties for organizing pyramids, compelling people to make a payment or promoting these schemes.

Doesnt go as far as SEC regulations, but its nice to know even in Russia you could get in serious trouble for putting these ponzi banners in your signature.

[Charlie11223]

We really should be able to find the people behind Hashprofit though. Especially when we get lawyers and police involved. CoinMaster222 should be punished aswell though of course.
