Topic: Kristy-Leigh Minehan AKA OhGodAGirl, OhGodACompany, mineority hosting/FPGA scam (Read 830 times)

there goes Squirrel aswell.

OhGodAGirl is definitely more talented than you, you deserve to be scammed for lacking knowledge.

Don't mess up again giving me bad rep without a reason, MUCH posts.

Look at this video regarding OhGodAGirl

I'm not aware of her paying anyone back or making other amends. Last I heard she got booted out of the ProgPOW thing but I don't really follow that.

Any updates on these accusations?

she is active on Telegram

Is anyone aware that she is active on voskcoin's discord? lol.  Does no one know this?

Wrong thread, please open your own. BCUs are handled by SQRL. I assume you have exhausted all other forms of communication but if not - please do so.

I did not receive 2 BCU boards. 
And they refuse to refund my 1.3BTC

same, my bcu1525 and several acorns all arrived. squirrel is a stand up company.

they got shafted by ohgodagirl and have gone out of their way to make it right for their customers.

and gpuhoarder is very accessible on discord. dude knows his stuff.

EDIT fixed quote

I would confirm first hand, Both orders i placed at SQRL got delivered. And i like GPUHoarder so far, smart/open minded engineer. Pretty active on Discords.

Can confirm they're legit. Not from first hand experience, but I know someone who ordered a BCU1525 from Squirrel and received it no problems.

No idea about the GPU operations, though.

I received my refund from Mineority a couple days after responding to the email. I also know 2 other people who already received refunds as well. Total 10 ETH.

Sorry about that, I must have messed it up somehow. Now it's been removed. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I really hope the scam wasn't larger than what the contract shows. It just seemed hyped a lot so I thought it was more. Do you at least have an idea how many GPUs were physically hosted? $30k would be only ~50 or so.

I still see the neg trust from you, but i will answer what i can regardless.

Okay so you estimate 60ETH to be the total amount scammed, 30k at the time? I misunderstood as you saying you were personally scammed 30K. Maybe the total sales did amount to that much, not even sure it was >=30K.

The Token was for physical GPUs that we were trying to sell, it linked to a mining os i worked on and controlled clocks and miner instances per GPU, as such it was a brilliant idea, i still think, where the GPUs were physically pointed to whatever the user wanted. As such it wasn't Cloud Mining... but i guess in retrospect It ran like any other shaddy one that crashed and burned.

There was only 2 different Kinds of GPUs at the time. It was in the same contract, to the best of my knowledge.

The other addresses is "the maze" that lead to Kristy getting what money there was and everyone else is left broke.
-There was hosting money, as Mineority was supposed to host a plethora of devices and services.
-And then there is where the money went, the other transaction and unknown injection of money, businesses that poured in money or did in the promise of things they did not get.
-Companies that "joined hand" and were almost destroyed's money and addresses.
-Also where the staff mining(promised temporary method of paying for wages, that became active but did not mine long enough for any of us to get anything, then we assume went back to her) was going to was have its own contract, she did not want to use the same contracts as the main platform for that. I don't know why, maybe to make it easier to keep it all to herself and whoever she had to pay in the end that isint us.

The Scale of the GPU Token scam itself is not grand, the silver lining is Mineority (The mining Platform) got a very abysmal amount of sales and most of the bulk damages were propagated on the constituents of the business and their associates.
It begs the questions of how she can claim Mineority earned 210M/100M within 1 year.

So, talks have arisen of how to pay back the sales Mineority did get, but we're still talking to each other trying to figure out what really happened.

For instance a lot of money went up in setting up legal and bank stuff that did not come from Kristy, and then there's the unpaid salary of a quite a few people for many months, and some of us going back to pre-mineority. There had been deals, and deals broken, but money has moved, where did it go?

The reason i did not say anything sooner is because we were all kept separate in a different "Virtual Reality" from each other and we only recently, when the whole thing fell apart, started talking to each other and building the canvas from all our separate pieces.

I'm not trying to downscale the issue for people that did buy Tokens, merely to explain why a lot of attention is focused inward rather than outward. After all there is no Business left, just people trying to make things right and understanding what actually happened and when it really started.

As such i'm inviting you and everyone else that was affected by the "Mineority Fiasco" to join the official unofficial discord ran by OzWizard where we can share information about it.

If you do come around ping @Virosa and perhaps me and some others can fill you in on your remaining questions as best as we can. This post is getting a bit long and we haven't even scratched the surface of what there is to say about what you have already asked so far.

I didn't buy anything from them so I don't have a TXID but the contract address shown in the OP is definitely a mineority address. That's all I have. I went as far as getting an address to send payment to but never completed the TX. If there is more than one contract that's fishy in its own right. The whole idea is that the contract proves the ownership blah blah blah. Or is it a separate contract per GPU type? Can you give us an idea of the scale of the hosted GPU scam? Who's the "Volkov" guy sending out those refund e-mails? Why do refunds need to be requested if they already know who paid into the contracts? And why is it in ETH when the purchase was denominated in USD (well, I think I know the answer to that LOL). Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

I wish you had blown the whistle much sooner, perhaps when you left the company. I have removed your trust rating since you don't seem to have been involved with it at the actual scam level.

Nice to wake up on Christmas Morning and notice that someone is accusing me of colluding with the one that almost got me to bankruptcy. Not that i blame anyone... Thanks for including ref to this.

Do you have the TXID? The remnants have been discussing how to pay back the few that did purchase hosted GPUs and the amount that you're stating is less than all the sales i'm aware of. If you did a deal directly with her, i'd be reaaaaalllllyyyyy interested to see about that 30k trade.

I'm building my own case. You can PM me your actual proof, that's just one of her addresses.

She owe me a lot more than 30k. I quit Mineority months ago because she hasn't made good on the promises and paid me nor the contracts i've made with what she's been promising me for >2 years.

And she has now screwed over the whole crew as well.

Anyways i already stated a glimpses of my opinion on the matter on Reddit:

She is already working on her next Scam:

(Click her Portrait to see her profile)
Last week she had supposedly earned 210m with Mineority in a few months, its 100m now? https://i.imgur.com/Zz44V73.png

Thanks for the links. The Squirrel folks seem to be legit, at least to the extent that they're delivering hardware, but this is only for FPGA. The GPU business was 100% mineority and those customers are ~80% fucked.

I have added a screenshot of the sorta-kinda-announcement to the OP.

This thread is work in progress. Since most of the scam took place outside of the forum it's not easy to piece it together. Please suggest sources if you can.

What happened: OhGodAGirl's business mineority.io closed up shop leaving customers without the GPUs they purchased.

Amount Scammed: 60 ETH (USD 30k+ at the time) - not certain about this as it seems very low

Payment Method: ETH (MetaMask)

Proof of Payment: https://etherscan.io/address/0x7aa46ed92bb48ad6825b2bf2003d3d928e84f853 (contract address)

PM/Chat Logs:

Additional Notes: mineority.io was a "cloud mining" operation that sold hosted GPUs to mine Ethereum and other crypto currencies. Recently it was also selling hosted FPGAs. The promise was that at the end of hosting contract customers would own the hardware. Hardware and hosting costs were quoted in USD. As of now mineority is issuing refunds in ETH (devalued by 80-90%) and is not shipping GPUs. FPGA business has been taken over by their partners (SQRL).

As far as I know there was no official announcement of the demise other than the e-mail shown below. Website is gone and discord channel was abruptly closed. OhGodAGirl seems to have moved on to new ventures.
