Before I even start, just remember there are hundreds of similar schemes operating under similar pretences. NEVER give your money to someone who promises to give you 5 times as much back next week.. Ok, you have been warned, now be entertained.
BTC Pro Miner
There's no such thing as a free lunch ? well I've had a few free lunches in my time and not bad one's either, but someone's always paying for it and probably indirectly out of my taxes, which is where I'd like to start with BTCProminer.life.
Here's the rub
They've been operating for 184 days and they SAY their member have already received 28756.74299837btc. In today's downmarket BTC price index that's /..wait for it $105,540,697 ($105,5m). If it was Sep 2nd and Bitcoin was on a high price before China and JP Morgan got all sassy, that would be $133,718,.. oh I can't be bothered with this sh*t.... but feel free to read on.
It bills itself as a BitCoin mining pool (with cute 8bit graphics) and you can even sign up with a free account which will (allegedly) earn you 40 satoshis per hour or 0.0006 btc per day. I started my mining account back in May / April and have so far mined quite a bit of free bitcoin on my smartphone. It all adds up as you can see from my impressive account details below.
Except I haven't earned a penny..
and it's a big fat swizzle-stick. How these people sleep at night I do not know. They don't sleep cos' they don't have souls.
They have a photo of an impressive rig and they are based (their office) just up the road from me. Perhaps I should just take my wallet over to see them ? That's a big F*cking Rig Giacomo Bugini..
Never heard of him?
oh just google the name, he comes up as a regular naughty little scoundrel, well known for fleecing lambs
Signed up WAY BACK WHEN
I have clocked up a lot of withdrawals. The copy says I only have version 1 so my IPV (Instant Payout Value) is low, which means I'll have to wait 30+ day until my withdrawal is processed manually. I could increase my payout value by upgrading for 1.5BTC for v1.4 or 7BTC for version 1.5. what do you think ? I smell a rat.
No Response
I have emailed them asking when they reckon they'll manually get round to paying out. I also said I was hoping to write a positive review for steemit, who are generally an interested audience. No reply. As you can see my first withdrawal was made on the 27th May 2017, that's 120 days according to smarty pants google.
Add that lot up and it's about $280 at today's prices
I don't think I'll ever see a penny of it. They would love me to get referrals for them or even better upgrade my account. 10% for referrals and up to a staggering 93% if I UPGRADE my version !! how quaint.
Version 1.4
will earn 0.00035 BTC per min or 0.5 BTC per day and costs 1.5 BTC (30% off) with an affiliate bonus of 50%
Version 1.5
will earn 0.00138 BTC per min or 2 BTC per day and costs 7 BTC with an affiliate bonus of 93%
I can't even be bothered to write this BS... here's their screenshot. It's so bogus.
I can even compete for top earner with a prize of up to 0.5btc per week, but with these figures, hey who needs the odd half a bitcoin when I'll be having 2 rolling in every day or 14 per week.
14 BitCoin
is currently worth $51355.64 at the time of writing. (something's beginning to make me think BTCprominer.life is full of shit cos' I ain't seen 1 penny and as you can see above they only owe me, $280 worth of bitcoin.
They have a table with BTC addresses and everything !
The table shows you their recent payouts
I'm beginning to think wink that the whole thing is completely made up like a GFX only simulation or something ? AM I wrong. I suppose I just want to warn any noobs to stay clear. It was pretty obvious from day 1 it was a dupe, but I thought I'd run an account and see how long they would keep up the pretence without paying out.. so far it's 120 days and counting.
Whatever you do
DON'T USE THE REFERRAL CODE in this post. It's entirely for illustrative purposes only. You will more than likely never get a penny and if you invest any bitcoin into any version, then I think you will most likely be throwing your money away. You'd be better off buying magic beans, aka sh*tcoins
