Anyone saying they got refunds, care to detail your interaction with WinterParker considering many of us can get no response? Can you provide txids for the transaction to WP as well as returning from him? Any evidence at all?

I can verify that after I sent him several PMs and e-mails he did refund my payment. My original payment of 1.15335 to WinterParker was in this transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/11bd45051c647b063ff6062d99727efc584c016ccb3dd492bebc042a234f614d
And my refund was in this one:

I really hope he gets the rest of the refunds out. I understand that folks are cautious about revealing financial data, and especially their wallet address (if it's heavily reused). So I'm engaging in some transparency here. If others could confirm the BTC amount paid and refunded (if done), then maybe we could reconstruct some of the transactions. I strongly recommend that people apply trust to WinterParker based on the amount of BTC lost or refunded. I had placed negative trust up until I was refunded, this should play a part in encouraging him to process refunds for those who haven't received them, and provide a more accurate portrayal of his handling of our funds.

On the flip side, be glad none of us sent money directly to the scam BitMain website linked to from the official bitcoin.it wiki! Unless you did, in which case, I'm sorry!

Likewise, I got a PM from him and my refund showed up in my wallet! From his PM it sounds like rather than a scam, this may have been a legitimate mixup and just dropping the ball on us. Not excusing his actions, but it doesn't seem to have been intentional theft.

Thank you WinterParker for refunding my money, and I wish you better luck in future group buys!

I requested a refund from him on 3/24 and I still haven't gotten a reply or a refund.

Yeah, he needs to answer PM's, update his threads, refund everyone he took money from, etc., otherwise this is a scam and intentional theft.

I sent my request for refund on 3/21.. still nothing. Just sent him another pm since people are stating they are getting refunds.

That's good to hear. Do we have a status update on the delivery of the replacement miners, or are they still MIA? I was holding on requesting a refund since I thought they would deliver. At this point, all I want is a status update.

He mentioned that he had updated the main group buy page, but I don't see the update at the moment. What he sent me was as follows:

UPDATE #2 :

I am still waiting on the 2nd shipment, and I am very sorry about the non-communication. I have already started giving refunds please send your payment transaction #, total amount paid, and a Bitcoin address where I can send you a refund.

Thanks,

WinterParker

Thanks for the info. I really really hate leaving negative trust, so I'm glad to see he didn't just walk away. Hopefully he'll post updates as a reply to this thread, so we can all get a watch notifications.

MODS, please lock this thread and mark it SCAM.

People, please! Winterparker is a scammer, at this point in time. He has taken people's btc and transferred it out to, presumably his own wallet, out of reach of groupbuy. Without any explanation. He fits the typical scammer profile.

I left negative trust for him as well. If he does decide to crawl out from his hole and surprise us, then I will revise my feedback, but I will never trust him in the future again.

So in light of WinterParker's absence of communication either on this forum, via PM, or via e-mail. And due to the fact that he emptied the group buy wallet without explanation, and removed his e-mail address from his profile, I left him negative feedback trust on Bitcointalk, and recommend that the rest of us do likewise until we hear from him. I don't want to think that he's a crook, but I haven't heard otherwise, and it's been nearly 2 weeks since I have heard my last excuse from him.

WinterParker, please feel free to chime in and clear your name, and I will gladly remove my negative feedback for a refund or shipped hardware.

Likewise, I would strongly encourage people to be wary of CoinPal, which appears to be his company, and his publicly traded "stock":
http://coinpal.net/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=525700.0;all
https://cryptostocks.com/securities/119

In retrospect I should have done more research, it appears that CoinPal was a scam too. Shoot, that's what I get for not doing my due diligence before ordering from a Full Member without any confirmed deliveries.

I've got multiple PM's out to him, he can answer any one of those. Part of the BTC flowing into the payment account was mine as well, guess I've got to write that off as a capital gains loss for 2014. :/

For those who can wait I will see what I can do to possibly get you an extra free if you ordered 10 or more originally.

According to your OP, no single person ordered 10+ U2s from you...
(4 U2s is the most a single user purchased, me being one of them)

I would still like the units, but is there anything that you can do for us?

Except that you can see he received 3.51 BTC from the Group Buy, which is way more than the amounts listed above:
https://blockchain.info/address/16VxoqBLrfwvZ8b2mjHh5zMWug8FgCMja2
At least I see mine in there, despite it not showing up on the page here. Also, he emptied the payment wallet yesterday after having left it alone since the start of the group buy.

Tracking the outputs didn't do me any good, but someone should check. Has anyone requested and received their refund?
