Thank you for pointing out."
So, finally cex.io/ghash.io have decided to respond. I'd like to think that this was purely due to pressure from the Bitcoin community, well done.
Cex.io/ghash.io investigating cex.io/ghash.io though - can't wait to see how that pans out
It's like the police investigating the police
.
Still, this is their chance to silence the critics and clear their name, I only hope they take this opportunity to do so - and do it well.
Cex.io/ghash.io have found a niche market that appeals to noobs who want to get into mining but can't afford the hardware - it gives them an option to get into mining that they would never have had before, which is to be commended (even if it is at an extortionate price per G/hash). This section of users are inexperienced with Bitcoin & it's workings, and throw their trust (and hard earned cash) into cex.io/ghash.io blindly - not fully understanding the consequences of their actions. My concern is that if cex.io/ghash.io have already conned a Bitcoin company -and therefore Bitcoin itself - what is stopping them from doing it again to their users? One only has to look around to see other pools and wallet services that have done the same thing, services that had no scam accusations against them and seemed much more trustworthy than this one does.
Imagine if the worst happened & cex.io/ghash.io done a GBL & disappeared overnight - there would be a huge outcry from it's users all asking the same question - why weren't we warned? Why didn't anyone tell us about them?
Roadtrain has gone out on a limb, putting his reputation on the line & provided pretty solid evidence to substantiate the scam accusation, not for personal gain, but to inform the community of what he believes is going on - the least the community can do is warn users of cex.io/ghash.io of the current accusations until solid evidence/actions are taken by cex.io/ghash.io that either prove their innocence or that appropriate action has been taken against the employee who perpetrated the con (if any).
I urge cex/ghash to grab this opportunity to clear their name, I also urge the Bitcoin community to keep the pressure on them to do so - it can only be good for everyone.
Peace
