50BTC IS SCAM

i doubt we wil lever see even partically our coins.

they had a server in Germany and in America, there is a link of some sort between magdevelopers.com and 50btc.com I cant remember where I found that but maybe the pool owner owns that company also..

They migrated to a DDOS protected server on or around the 15th November so there may still be hope yet.

So is it safe to say that we are never going to get our remaining balances out of the accounts? That's really upsetting. I need my bitcoins now that the values have gone up. Has anyone started on trying to locate these guys, tracing their wallets or server locations or anything? Or is it just deemed a lost cause at this point?

gjpminingco, sorry to say but the B.S. they are feeding everyone via skype sounds like pirateat40 v2.0


Really?  If you lost a computer/laptop that had you skype account, you wouldn't be able to find some other way to log into skype to contact your VIPs?
Give me a fucking break with that excuse 50BTC.  Have you lost your login/password to this forum too?

Everyone who lost mining rewards mining on this pool, please post in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scammer-50btccom-359277

Thanks!

[11/26/2013 12:04:42 AM] Pool 50BTC.com VIP Support: Hello, sorry we kept you waiting.
[11/26/2013 12:05:03 AM] Pool 50BTC.com VIP Support: We’ve discussed a possibility of “half-payment”. Unfortunately our team has come to conclusion that it is not possible to do so without our new system. As soon as system is deployed and tested our first thing to do is solve your case. Due to it’s urgency it will be handled as a top priority without any delay. We know that it is not much comforting to you but we’re doing everything we can to solve your issues and leave you out of the jail or any legal actions.

Currently we are finishing work on our system and will run some tests to make sure it’s “bulletproof”. As we mentioned earlier we will make a detailed status update in ~2 weeks.

We apologise for the huge amount of inconvenience we’ve given to you and hope you still have a little patience left.

[11/27/2013 4:21:37 AM] The Free Bitcoins List: So you need to tell me what is gonna happen  so that i am not evicted because of this
[11/27/2013 4:21:54 AM] The Free Bitcoins List: I do not have time to wait weeks
[11/27/2013 4:24:24 AM] Pool 50BTC.com VIP Support: You have full rights to be pissed but we can assure you that we're doing everything we can to hasten the process.

[11/27/2013 5:02:53 AM] Pool 50BTC.com VIP Support: Currently our main goal is to start a new system and we're working on it as hard as we can.  We have a lot of pending payments so it could take some time to sort things out with an old billing system. There are a lot of issues with it that has to be taken care of.
[11/27/2013 5:04:51 AM] The Free Bitcoins List: i thought you said my issue was first?
[11/27/2013 5:12:51 AM] Pool 50BTC.com VIP Support: It is a top priority for us. Those issues are old billing system related and need to be taken care of first. Hopefully we will elaborate on this in the upcoming status update.

[11:15:55 AM] The Free Bitcoins List: and if that happes it will not be good for you folks, cuz i will make this a international incident
[11:37:13 AM] The Free Bitcoins List: ?

I've emailed the BTC foundation on behalf of everyone affected to see if there is any possible way of recourse in the worst case scenario. And have found quite a bit of information regarding the location of the ip addresses and other things. one thing I found is that 50btc is linked to another subdomain http://www.magdeveloper.com/ - I don't know if they are the same individuals running these as each, but another thing about 50btc is that about the 15/11/2013 they set up a DDOS protection server and that 50btc is still relaying blocks, just that their website is not updating, which would present that they are still active. So they may still be under the process of doing what they actually claim to be doing, of course with no ways of contacting them there is no way of actually learning anything of what is happening, all anyone can do is think the best whilst being prepared for the worst.

50btc is at 20.1 GH/s

People are wising up I think.

So, all i've learned now is: NEVER trust an Anonymous, russian pool

ah. here i thought something had happened since. oops.

The News from the Page before in the Thread.

what news?

Now i'm also thinking that they're scammers.

The News sounds to good to be true..

50BTC is scam.

EOT.

Same here. About 1 BTC lost. It's a pity

no, i'm telling you i requested a payout of the (then correct) payout, which never happened but showed as in process, the incorrect amount (which i had no intention of keeping, mind you) and then another payout, which i think was correct as well, from my mining before i read about the trouble.

i'm owed about .04 btc. that's all.

Till now:

No new Informations
No Payouts
No Responding to E-Mails or Support Tickets...

Your telling us that you had attempted to withdrawal  the full balance Not once but twice??

Hmm. Looking at the payouts, my last two attempts are no longer in process, but deleted entirely, leaving my balance 0. Yet the payout for the incorrect 136 Btc is still showing in process. Wtf?

Why 50BTC balance is 0?
I have total share 800 in the mining menu of 50btc website. But the balance in the right is 0 BTC.
Should my current btc = total share x PPS?
Another question is
Pay per share rate
Share difficulty   Pay
4   0.0000003623036164 BTC

Is this data correct? Missing one 0?
