You do realize its not a scam in any way? Its unfortunate indeed, but you didn't loose your money. You got less than you could've had but its the same thing as day trading. Do you complain on exchanges as well when you trade your crypto to fiat and then the price changes and you could've bought cheaper/sold more expensive?
Besides Im pretty sure you wouldn't be complaining if ETH price did rise instead of going down because then you'd had had more tokens for the same price in fiat as an early investor.
I understand what you are feeling since I did invest early as well. But I take this as an opportunity to reinvest to get even more tokens now.
Its crypto world so no on can guarantee that you will be winning all the time.
Its written on their site/WP that they are indexed on ETH, and you made the choice to invest knowingly.
Imagine you send them 1450$ and they buy one S9 miner.
8 weeks later some else sends them 1450$ and they buy another S9 miner.
MinerOne has now two S9 miners at this point.
Due to the way they distributed tokens you will only get 36% of profits, the other person 64%; meaning someone else is profiting from the ASIC you payed for.
This is not OK.
I am not here to promote other mining operations,
I just want to warn anyone interested in MinerOne and inform them about how they treated early investors.
I will also post updates on any dividends they pay out to show how early investors got screwed.
(According to their website I am looking at 141% ROI first year (without the bonuses))
(I predict that it will take 1,5+ years for early investor to get ROI from dividends.)
Nobody is actually sending Miner One USD, as in your example. And your example assumes miner prices are constant, which they are not - they are now falling. Anyhow, there is no practicable way for us to guarantee that exchange rate fluctuations won't affect the value of your investment, and we made this absolutely clear in the White Paper. Regrettable to see you continuing this unreasonable and groundless line of argument. Please also remember that estimates of ROI are not guarantees or promises, as we've made clear repeatedly, as well. More generally: cryptocurrency-related investments are not really suitable for people with low risk tolerance who are bothered by uncertainty and change.
