I joined the queue @ october, till then been trying to cancel my contract without any success, no replies from them...
After all this 4 months, seems that we got scammed.

Hey all

I was foolish enough to buy hashpacks at hashrack.com before checking bitcointalk...
Setting that aside has anyone EVER gotten any response from them or is it a pure scam operation.

BFL delay is such a common excuse...seems they bought some DrillBit boards (~22GH/s)

First contacted pkarc on 4th July 2013 requesting a refund via private message.  He has been online since then, yet no response and no refund.  Tweeted @hashrackpool requesting the email address as the contact form on the site is gone, got a response within 24 hours.  Emailed the address 2 weeks ago with full details, no response.  Have tweeted and emailed several times since with no response (and he's definitely been online since).

I hate to use the word, but it looks like pkarc is a scammer.

If his site is telling the truth on how many packets have been sold assuming nobody bought anything more than the 500mhz pack then he would have made over 66 btc thats alot considering how little work he put into it...

They tweeted me [email protected] when I asked.

However, I've had no response from that address or the twitter account since I emailed them asking for a refund.

Someone should start a thread under 'Scam Accusations'.

HT xD

Guys dont try this site it is a scam they took my btc... does anyone have the email they had up?

I thought I'd give these guys a try some time ago, I ordered a 500 mh/s pack but sent a few extra coins by accident (sloppy number keying). This ~0.03 extra btc showed in my investment account for a while, but one day disappeared.

So I filled out a contact form describing the problem, and got this response back (response received Jun 16):

No biggie, so I waited 3 weeks, but still nothing. At this point, I'm rather irritated, so I go to fill out another contact form, and lo and behold, the page now gives an error. So I replied to the original email i received from hashrack, simply requesting a refund. This was over a week ago and to be honest I'd be surprised if I ever get a response.

tl;dr: Money went missing, communication went dry, don't trust this company.

S C A M :/

Have posted any picture about your datacenter yet? Have received any of the BFL boxes?

why would I mine on this pool? I dont get it ... lol

This should be enough to give pkarc the scammer tag.

I wouldn't be surprised if the pool found some blocks and we were not informed..

BUMP

wow seems OP is afk 

Possible SCAM 

After giving hashrack my 1.02 BTC and buying my "hashpack" my user has been blocked.. when i try to request a password reset it tells me it already sent me a password reset.. When I try to log in with my previous password it just says "User has been blocked"

Thief gimme back my 1 BTC.. usernam z3r0

SCAM WARNING

I would not be surprised if you did, it would make you quite alot more than the pool itself would. If you manage your finances correctly, there wouldn't be any issues.

Make sure to contact BFL (Or Avalon) and see if they are willing to offer you any discounts for consistently large purchase orders. I believe Avalon will, I do not know if BFL will.

----------------------

You need to work on the issue of redeemable hardware. If you can assure this, (the customer pays for any shipping costs) then you are set. People will eventually copy your pool when they realize your system may work.

The reason behind the idea of "redeemable" hardware is that you can assure customers it is there whenever they "need it". As you grow in reputation and confidence your customers will eventually (likely) decide it is far better to keep their hardware hosted with you than in their own homes. Eventually, they will not be able to host it in their own homes. I know I can't host more than 3..maybe 4 at most.

If someone wants to pull their hardware from the Hashrack® they could contact you in email, pay off the discounted difference or any fees pending on the hardware for the month...and then pay for the shipping charges to get it delivered. It is important that you get some kind of (non-permanent) labeling system. Like magnetic labels, #001 or whatever, so you know which one is the customers.

After people have confidence you are here to stay for the long haul; they will probably just keep it perpetually at the colocation facility you are doing business with...through you. You should also limit how many "redeemable shipments" you are willing (or can do) per week without straining you or your staff. If it is 50 slots per week, it is 50, no more no less.

Anyway, you have a very good idea going for you. I hope it takes off and it keeps you profitable. I frankly do not see how it couldn't.

Seriously considering this. do not be surprised if you're the first to know if it is implemented.

I have a suggestion, you might want to make the jackpot optional IE charge like a base 2.5-3% and then have the option to enable being enrolled in the jackpot for another 1% that way if people want to just use your great stats and hashpack services without paying extra for the potential jackpot they can and that should encourage faster miners to join who don't necessarily gain from paying extra just for a chance at 2btc where they could earn that themselves faster if the fee was lower.
Just a thought.

So I just joined and was interested in the hashpacks and am wondering how quick I will be given them if I were to purchase one? I am ready to buy some however until I get some info I am just gonna mine with my computer.
Edit: One other thing to consider, you might have nobody mining in your pool as you have one of the highest pplns fees I have seen. Might wanna try more like %3 or %3.5 or preferably %2.5.

I saw this from another thread (think in the main Mining forum) and tried it out.  Kept having issues with the stratum server not keeping me connected (multiple machines, different locations, different OSs, and different miners), so I went back to 50btc.com.
