The post above is obviously and undoubtedly by the owner of Leasebit, or a shill. Why would a legitimate company need to do this? The owner hasn't cashed my checks that I sent him. He told me that my check had to be returned because it is not "payable to the company". I made them out to Leasebit LLC like he told me to. I then asked who the correct payee is. He replied "I apologize similar names." I have no idea what this means, but after repeated attempts to contact him, he has yet to respond to me with the correct payment information.
I leased 5 miners. Using current market prices, and current hashrates, my miners should have produced almost $30,000 worth of Bitcoins so far, and my "surety" payment should be paid off in another week . Either my miners don't exist, and he can't produce, or this was some sort of Ponzi scheme, and now with the huge increase in Bitcoin price it's screwed up his plans. Either way, it doesn't matter if he refuses to cash my checks, I have proof I sent them, and we have a signed agreement. I will continue to send him monthly checks with the payment information he gave me. If I don't receive my share of the proceeds, I will take him to court - hard. My family is very wealthy (own and operate large oil refineries) and I have access to some of the highest quality lawyers in the country. I have no problem spending a considerable amount of money pursuing this. I live in NJ, but we have a vacation house in San Diego, so traveling to take legal action against someone in California would be more of a vacation than anything else.
Honestly, I hope this guy actually comes through and is legitimate. However, there are some fraud accusations against this guy relating to other ventures that you can find online. If he can get me proper payment info, and prove to me in some way that these miners actually exist, I'll be more than happy to withdraw my comments. If he's a scammer though, I have no problem making his life very difficult. I'm on the verge of launching a campaign to let bitcoin enthusiasts and the internet know to stay away from Leasebit and Rowan Salter.

I'd be interested to see if this pans out as well.
Thanks for the post.
Thanks for the post.
I would like to reply to this topic, but obviously I can't since I'm a "newbie": https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/this-ones-probably-another-scam-wwwleasebitcom-301651
I have signed up for a lease with Leasebit for a few miners. I did it well aware that it could be a scam, but if it is I would only be out a few hundred dollars, which isn't a significant amount of money to me. I currently have no idea if it's a scam or not. I'll just let you know my experience so far.
As per the website, I printed out the lease, signed it and sent it in with my first payment. This was almost a month ago. They then sent me signed documents back, and I had to send them a paper with my bitcoin address printed on it. Why I couldn't email it to them I have no idea. I received the documents back on the 22nd. My miners were supposed to be up and running on the 25th, then it was pushed back till Nov. 1st. The owner claims they were finally running Nov. 4th.
I have sent many emails to them, and while the owner replied, he seems a bit shady. I asked how I could see the current output of the miners. He said they were working on an iPad app. That seems strange, since the best way to do it would be using a website or an iPhone app. I then asked to see some sort of proof that the miners existed, such as a photo, and he replied that he would have to talk to "legal and security" about it. That makes no sense. He has failed to get back to me about that, and I certainly haven't seen any proof that these miners actually exist.
On the Leasebit website it says they are using "Golden Nonce" chips which are made by HashFast, but I contacted HashFast about this and they say that they have no relationship with them. The owner then went on his Twitter and said they weren't actually using them. Their claim of using "Golden Nonce" chips still remains on the website however.
I honestly don't think it's possible that they have access to the amount and speed of chips they would need for this endeavor. I knew this going into it, but as I said before, it's not a significant amount of money to me if I lose it, and if they actually can produce miners that start at 1.25GHash/s then it would be pretty lucrative considering the current price of Bitcoins. Also, thanks to the increase in the price of Bitcoins, I should find out sooner if it's a scam or not, because the "surety" payment of $9000 worth of bitcoins will be reached by the end of the month, and I should receive my first bitcoins the 15th of December. We shall see.
Now for the really strange part. He hasn't actually deposited my check, and he's had the check for almost a month now. I've asked him about that, and he's said they have it and they'll deposit it. If I was a scammer I would have that check in my account the same day I got it. That's the confusing part about all of this. I have no idea. I'm leaning hard towards this being a scam, but I can't figure out what this guys actual plan is. I'll keep you updated if you're interested.
