212 is a NY area code
May 13, 2013, 04:36:40 PM
I was going to send them 5 BitCoin, but told them I won't until I get their contact info. I told them I needed more proof than just an email, Check it out:
If they try any funny stuff I have the "founders" personal email, name, and talked to him on the phone. I found it very suspicious that they did not want me to "share" this information.
The area code the call I got from Mining United was 212-
Can someone confirm if this is really New York or not? area code 212-

To those just now realizing it is a scam ... I mean really. 37% interest for a week? Really? Pirate only gave 7% and that was a massive masssive warning sign.
37% weekly interest is 1,286,676,865% annually. Anyone know a miner which makes 1 billion % profit per year. i.e. guy a $200 GPU, spend $100 in electricity and get $3,860,030,594 in annual mining rewards. That is the kind of gross profits they would need ... just to break even and pay all of it out as interest.

Last I checked bitcoin is still a VIRTUAL-currency am I right? How do you get in legal trouble trading things that aren't even real money? If that's ignorant then please enlighten this newbie 
You may have paid real money for bitcoins but that doesn't magically make bitcoin become real money all of a sudden.
And no I'm not trying to be sarcastic...I'm asking an honest question.

Last time I checked gold or cars aren't money. Obviously it isn't against the law for someone to take your car or break into your house and steal your gold right?

miningunited.com must be SCAM
I send 5.35 BTC to their bitcoin wallet 7 days ago.
I got nothing now.
They deleted all my payouts and did't reply my email.
fuck you miningunited.com

Slightly off topic now but I'd just like to confirm I have no connection to MU except having used their service!

You're right bitcoins are worthless, so send me all of yours =)You may have paid real money for bitcoins but that doesn't magically make bitcoin become real money all of a sudden.

Seriously though bitcoins are now about 115 dollars each. You can take em right now and exchange them for that much. And the price has been pretty steady recently around that price, so a scammer is not just taking monopoly money. If you scam 1k bitcoins, you can get more than $100,000 for them, not an inconsiderable amount.

The "Satoshi Dice" issue has already been addressed, we are not trying to hide anything. Scroll back in the thread to see our post regarding this. It was even stated in this thread by some users they wanted their payouts to go to "SD". This thread is going in circles and everything could be argued to infinite.
There is very serious legal trouble, which is why we have some of the best lawyers. We have to comply with government regulations, AML laws, etc.

Coins can be immediately sold for real money--that means they have value. I'm pretty sure any lawyer would agree with the argument of "I paid money for this virtual item. I can sell it again for real money, immediately, via various websites. This item was taken from me, against my will, which is theft."
But you're right, trying to pursue legal action against MU is (for now) a pretty much impossible endeavor. That's why creating this thread is about all we can do
It being a virtual currency makes things a bit harder, legally, but I don't think it makes it have no value. What about someone who steals a gift cards that can be used for a certain amount of money at a specific store, but have "no cash value" thenselves?

As I said ... I am not defending anyone! Just think all the points must be raised, in order to reach conclusions.
I spoke SD, with all due respect, how could address the other. Was only to refer to the investment risk. This should all be aware.
OFFTOPIC:
keatonatron... Did I have an idea, which I think is good for the community. But I have no mining capacity to put into practice. If you have an open mind to be able to expose you for MP.

You guys are idiots. If you think its a scam then post it and leave.
Now you are just bumping the topic and more people will send their BTC them. Think for fuck sake.

You are partly right, but the praising newb accounts will bump this anyway.

Of course they are different things. I said that.
Used just one example, for a risk you run.
Of course if the site simply close. All the investment that was made is lost. And he gets the win.
And a risk involved in all investment sites BitCoin. May close suddenly investiou and who stands to lose.
Some sites may have a way to deal more credible than others, presenting a risk shorter. But the risk is there.
The point I want to highlight and that there is risk in any investment.

The big difference is that SD states on their site "THIS IS GAMBLING. YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY".
No one can be upset about that. In fact most of us respect SD for their work and how well it's paying off (in a fair, legal, open way).
MU has a good chance of harming the bitcoin community as a whole. New users who aren't aware of the amount of scammers/new users who aren't net saavy/the media could get sucked in, and when everyone gets burned there will be tons of stories of "oh look, another upright bitcoin institution has imploded. This bitcoin stuff is worthless, I'll never trust it again."
We, the community, appreciate people who have creative ideas and execute them well. We have absolutely no respect for people who devise schemes to steal money from uninformed newcomers. If the website were to put a big fat disclaimer on their site saying "this is a risk, there is a large chance you will lose everything", then people get what they ask for and I would have no problems with it.

They're mocking us subconsciously.

t's not really a scam when they have the proof of payouts system? - Admittedly they take longer than stated to deliver but I believe they do.
I wish there was a way to highlight the name. Blind faith. Ha!
Shill/Troll/fake account created by MU--either way, I'm entertained
May 13, 2013, 09:52:53 AM
Wow I'm out.
May 13, 2013, 09:51:32 AM
def. scam !
