Topic: no response from pbmining.com about my transfer (Read 2027 times)

hate play is ply pb mning but no money mining same scam

yeah....my last payment is at 18-04-2015 with dust amount....and the account balance never changed since this payment.

the fun thing is, the global stats shows it is still mining...

dust payment to keep their customer hoping that pbmining will resolve this problem
imo OP posted on march, maybe he bought contracts when pbmining still accept new contract buyer
or he bought account from another customer, which has GHS contract there

anyway pbmining is best example for ponzi scheme disguise as cloud mining service.
but they do it very well, more than a year from December 2013

I don't keep the wallet that receives dust open, but I looked up that address pbming pays out to, and this last payment was made!

https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/e12066d057453a18307df549c5dfbfffaf130f078975f6c328b286a6911e5ae0

nope, There's no possibility they can pay back all of our coins from their GHS or source of income (fictional GHS from my opinion)
they just buy some time to get away from their customer.
and now their site is down
bad signs for all of their customer. I read in other thread there are some people try to catch them but still no update

no if u read the threads its cause abodi been spamming abuse complaints to the hosts. doesnt help us much because now we cant see our accounts.

They are saving money by not having a website now. LOL Did anyone get a dust payout for the 19th (today)?

you are right they should not mine when they are getting dust..

Seems like today PBmining.com website is down.Calculating the possible payout is just waste of time, let's just call it dust amount of BTC.

I keep checking if the site is alive, and it is each time. I suspect on the 19th, that fourth contract will pay it's dust. Would anyone care to do a calculation of their total possible payout, based on current earnings, from now until their contract expires?

Non Sequitur

The question is can they reliably prove they aren't fractional reserve mining (which is a form of a ponzi)?

If this cannot be demonstrated than you should avoid them like the plague. It is bad enough that cloud mining further centralizes PoW and adds further counterparty risk in our decentralized project... let alone with dealing with all the scams.

Registered office: No. 1 Orchid Garden Street, Belmopan, Belize, C.A.

I have little doubt that BIT-X has purchased equipment, is mining , and has a partnership with bitfury.The question is can they prove they aren't fractional reserve mining (which is a form of a ponzi)?

Look into these 2 concerns with Bit-x and let me know if you or they have answers to them:

1) No public mining address / no user selectable pool.
A cloud mining company that wont let you direct the hashrate to your pool of choosing and cant prove its actually mining bitcoins itself, is very likely a scam. There is no reason to hide mining address or not sign blocks. None.

4) Open ended IPO / fractional reverse mining risk
Unless the cloud mining is operated by the asic vendor himself, you can not sell an unlimited amount of hashrate. Hardware takes (usually a long) time to order, arrive and deploy. Any company that doesnt limit sales or make public how much hashrate they sold vs what they have (provably) deployed should be considered  suspicious.

Not all CloudMining sites are ponzis (unfortunately, that's become a common misconception due to a number of illegitimate 'mining' services)

A legitimate CloudMining service is https://BIT-X.com, the GH/s is provided by the known ASIC manufacturer BitFury. You can trade GH/s with any supported currency (BTC, LTC, USD, EUR, GBP) all while they mine for you.

Any questions let me know.

Hashnest is another supposedly legitimate provider, I am yet to look into their service though.

Oh yes, it's realy dead now, so no more dust to us. PB Mining server is gone!

How often do they send this dust cause at this rate it seems it would take years to get your refund back?

lol...that was a scam site.it ran with 1000btc some years back and now its back again to loot owr coins...I will just advice stay away from this scam withdrawl whatever you have invested

Still not dead, still paying dust:


For 4 contracts, the current amount pending, and the last amount paid with when it was paid.

0.00004032     0.00006298 14-03-2015 11:49:01

they are already dead for months now

Looks the PB Mining server now is taken down.

The problem was, I don't think you followed the directions for payment. Your number was 33550, and 4 digits of that number should have been in the payment as the last four digits. That's how the payments were tracked. So it was treated as free money to them. Or your payment of 0.09163283 could have gone to an account with 3283 as the last four.

Do you have the actual transaction ID that shows you made them a payment ending in 3550? If so, then they really did you wrong.

They are only currently paying out dust, and have not been offering any "hashing power" for sale for a long time.

Said so i would recommend all "investors" to work on this with extremely caution

Either don't mine or buy ASIC's directly. Never buy cloud mining contracts as most if not all are some degree of a ponzi operation(fractional reserve mining).

Seams like u should of poke around before investing with them, they are not active here for quite some time.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=195208  - their main account , note the trust
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pb-mining-5-year-mining-contracts-418183  - a lot of unhappy customers here, worth reading through

cheers buddy, and sorry for your loss

As far I know pbmining is closed.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovery-program-beginning-in-january-for-pb-mining-customers-887871

And most people say that they were a ponzi, so I doubt you will get your money back

I dont know about this particular site, but with btc.. always consider that every site can be a potential scam.

I have bought a contract from pbmining.com, and had transfered the amount, but there is no contract shown and no response from the pbmining.com till now.

This is my transfer  :
