BUYER BEWARE!!!!
I will post my email thread with my interaction with him...DO NOT purchase something they cannot even tell you what they have, nor show LEGIT pictures on their website. They CAN NOT prove the miner's operational status to you, not even through a weekly report via email. Any startup should at least be able to grab you output from the logs and email to their customers!
EMAIL THREAD:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It isnt the first payment or even the second and third payments that cause stress, it's the remaining 50 plus payments I'm legally obligated to pay by signing the contract.
Your website clearly states the machines "use 3 Golden Nonce ASICs". The Golden Nonces are manufactured by HashFast. Why arent you disclosing the hardware you guys use?
Bitcoin IS new and risky and one reason it is so risky is because of startup companies taking clients money and never delivering. You are doing very little to prove to your new customers you guys have what it takes to run a successful business. I wish you luck and hopefully I will start seeing positive reviews about bitlease.com in the bitcoin community.

Our equipment is not Hash Fast though they have a good product. Hold off till your comfortable. Generally speaking if the $149.00 first payment causes such stress it is not a suitable investment. Bitcoin is new and risky. We appreciate your consideration.

Thanks for the response Rowan but number 3 didnt really answer my question. Do you guys currently have the mining equipment on site or are you waiting for shipment from HashFast? Do you have any actual pictures of the equipment on site if so? That would certainly be reassuring.
Im sorry, but without at least a weekly report of the miners performance I cannot in good conscious submit a 5-year contract for a piece of equipment I have never seen or know how it is performing. A report could be as simple as an email stating the average hash rate and the number of bitcoins it has mined during that period as well as a cumulative total.
It would also be to necessary to provide addresses in which the miners are collecting bitcoin payments on so we can see how the miner or farm of miners are doing as a whole.
Your business model sounds GREAT, but without some sort of verification process for us the clients it would be extremely risky for us to commit to such a long term contract.
Thank you,
Tyler

1) we will thru an Ipad ap within 90-120 days.
2) we cant specify what has not been built yet. Any representations would be goals not promises
3) This concept is workable but has enormous risk. As you don't have to capitalize the miner you may judge it worth it.
We can promise to do our best. This is a frontier product in a new financial territory.

Dear Rowan,
I have yet to receive a response to the following questions:
1. Will you provide a way to view live miner stats or send daily/weekly reports of the miners productivity?
2. Do you have a set schedule in which upgrades will take place and how much processing power will be added on each upgrade?
3. Is the hardware currently on site?
Unfortunately in the bitcoin industry there appears to be a lot of scams going on, even from large reputable dealers such as Butterfly Labs which leave their paid customers habging for months with no product and by the time they do receive product it is too late to make any money from mining since it is outdated hardware. I just need to know that my investment is safe with leasebit.com.
Thank you,
Tyler Nathe
