Re: Bitcoin plus - is it owned by a member of this forum? - RANT ALERT!
I agree with you that BCP should disclose their transaction fee up-front so that those using, or thinking about using, the service can make an informed decision.
I think most would also agree with that.
What bothers me is that some (seem to) think that it is OK for BCP to not disclose. So if someone goes to BCP and get scammed, then it is their fault for not knowing better. That is wrong. Without going into much details, please review my posts (and others) to see why this is wrong.
I decided to use it [BCP]... to mine [through my] ...blog, which makes BCP seem that bit more appealing for me.
I edited your above quote. Did I get the central thought correct?
If so, then I have stated that BCP seems like a good fit for people with websites.
When I state that BCP is scamming people, then I am talking about the people who don't have a website.
I also think they are scamming people with a website. The website owners are not that concerned (my guess) because they are getting others to mine BTC for them. i.e., They (website owners) did not use their own resources (electric, wear and tear on their computers, etc.) to generate BTC, so paying a 0.01 fee is not that much of a deal from them.
Assuming that BCP does disclose and someone goes to BCP for the first time (without knowing anything). I believe that website owners would still use BCP (seems like a great deal for them). Non website owners would not use BCP*.
* To be fair, maybe some non-website owners (my guess a small amount) would use BCP. I can not explain why some people do what they do.
