If you lost your BTC I'm sorry, but putting your trust in a shady site can and will always have its drawbacks.

No, I'm fine. Even without the 1 btc, I'm ok. I made more then I just lost. Had about 0.4 with them unpaid. We will find out in a few hours what happened with my wallet. Expect the worst, hope for the best.

I'm at work now, typing on phone. Received email from mining united before website redirected to btccheap. Have more info, will type back in 3-4 hours. Can't check wallet right now.

We have sent you 1.00 BitCoin as an immediate emergency refund.

We are currently experiencing hacking attempts from bttcheap.com! They locked out our gmail!

Tried to email back, got automated email immediately from btccheap. Email said that MU email box was deleted and to contact btccheap.



Of course they are going to say that they were "hacked" to try and keep at least a shred of the rep they still have. I looked into MU when they first started and tested a few times. Once their payments turned out to be SIGNIFICANTLY less than what was "promised", I decided it wasn't worth the risk. I always thought of it as a ponzi and was going to cut and run at some point, I'm just surprised that it took this long. There was no way that they were mining enough based on the 12 cards that they claimed to be using.

Btccheap's website seems to be ALMOST the same as MU, but sections are different with poorer grammer, misspellings.

1.5 nothing to you or not, these people did not deserve to get everyones change which amounted to tens of thousands of dollars.

No you're absolutely right -I'm not defending them - in fact for the first time in my IT career, I considering trying something nefarious with them, but I just rationalised it away. Nothing I can do about it.

the coup degrace


"To claim a payout or set-up recently purchased mining service:
BTCcheap.com | [email protected]"

Now it's down altogether. Alright, you guys called it, I'm an idiot.

Yeah I just emailed them. Lost me 1.5 BTC - but I could afford it so not too bad, just the principle. Just getting insults from them now.

OMG I knew they were onto their NEXT scam but shit! I didn't think they would connect them! I would have left MU to collect trickle payments for a while.

LMAO! You want proof mining united is a scam? How about this: MU said on the board, he had no connection with BTC Cheap and lo and behold now MiningUnited.com redirects to BTC Cheap. There you have it MU in a bald faced lie, not to mention the original site is gone.

It may be a bit early...

A bit early? No kidding. The lynch mob here has grown with amazing speed, with frankly very little evidence of any actual wrongdoing.

Not trying to say whether this guy is legit or not, just making an observation.

That is easy for you to say some people have large amounts deposited with them. Some claim the site shows them paid but they have not only not received the payment but have emailed MU several times without response. For those who feel they have been scammed, I offered one place they can go for recource. It's up to the individual how long they wish to wait. So here it is again the FBI's cyber-fraud unit:

Fact is I haven't seen one post yet where someone has not gotten paid. (And provided proof that they even sent bitcoins.) Now, Bitpop's account took 10 days. Longer then I would like, but still got it. Was there anyone else? Anything over 10 days?
I sent 0.25 BTC on May 8 and haven't received anything yet; however, my address has the status "Going out..." on MU so it will arrive soon-ish. I expected it to take ~10 days because that's what the website estimates. I don't think anyone really read and comprehended the timeframes.

MU is a dubious business but there's no evidence it's a scam or ponzi scheme. It's all speculation until MU shuts down and runs with the money.

Agreed. It's no secret I've been a supporter of them since they started.

Yes, it's crappy that they are not responding to emails right now. I can understand them not posting on bitcointalk, or even monitoring this forum. Since day one, they have been labeled as scammers. There's been some nasty posts by other members. I wouldn't want to deal with it either.

I'm still comfortable sending them bitcoins. Now, I would not be sending 30 bitcoins at a time, nor everything I had. But I've made enough from them that if they folded tomorrow, i'd still be ahead.

Just be smart.

Where the fuck is my payment you scam fucks

Here you have it, a real long time member saying they don't pay.

https://blockchain.info/address/181n25vgaDfbUYkaynUEo4haCyutcq3v4i

Can you explain to me how to read this information? I mean you present the link as some sort of QED, but it's not that obvious to most people here (this is the newbie forum after all).

The link shows a payment of 0.05 coming in to your account, then going out to MU, then another payment of 0.0544 coming in from a foreign address that could potentially belong to MU. How is this some sort of smoking gun? Explain that to me, please.

-Michael



That's what it looks like. They paid MU on 5-4-13 0.05 BTC and on 5-14-13 they received 0.544 BTC. 10 day turnaround on the payment.

He was just frustrated because he thought he got scammed for 0.05 BTC. I'm sure he was expecting it in 3-4 days. It does seem that payments are taking longer. I'm still getting mine though. Don't know if it's because I'm a premium member, or what.
