Actually, Chris, it would be really helpful if you could describe how you first came to learn about scrypt.cc, whether it was through this forum or elsewhere, and whether there are any points along the process where information about their scam could be posted now in order to help others not fall into the same trap.
Unfortunately I can't remember how I learnt about the site. It's possible it was through this site as I've not checked out other Bitcoin forums.
I signed up in April 2014 if that's any help.
The first red flag for me was that I raised a support ticket which was promptly deleted without any sign of it being resolved. I posted about it in the forums and was told I was being unreasonable expecting support on a beta site and that Admin had no time to reply to all tickets if the problem was resolved. Pointing out my problem wasn't resolved I was told to raise another ticket.
That's the point I concluded the site was either a scam or just badly run. I still erred towards the latter at that point. Annoyingly I couldn't properly exit the site as there'd been a massive drop in price of KHS at that point so whilst I was able to increase my position significantly I wasn't able to retrieve my original investment, I was close but not close enough. I decided to try and get clinical and ran a spreadsheet but the way the price dropped and the fact I have a job and couldn't capitalise on the random increases meant I couldn't make money quick enough. As I've said, wrote the money off and reinvested to have 5000KHS and have left it rolling ever since pulling money out as and when I can.
I can't give an exact time frame over this but I would guess at June 2014 I first used the word scam in relation to this site. Since then I've been trying to claw back that money.
I doubt I'll get my 0.4BTC back but I didn't spend what I couldn't afford to lose.
