This sounds bad.

I do not want to judge whether you're a paid shill from a competitor (sorry, but not impossible) trying to make KnCMiner just look bad, or you are really suffering and its caused by things out of your sphere of influence.

If first case matches, we will discover it soon - no worries.
If second case matches I'm wondering about the exact words chosen when you communicated with them. May I ask you to share your correspondence, please ? It may help to clarify the issue and prevent similar experiences in the future (improve the situation for all of us).

However when you pay in BTC through Bitpay, then KnCMiner receives $ - so why a BTC to refund?
Prices in the shop are in $ as well, not in BTC.
When I transfer from my € bank account to their $ bank account some money, they receive in this case $ as well and they will refund the dollars as well.
Depending on the €/$ exchange rate I may have suffered a loss when requesting a refund.
So, no difference to BTC payments, but nobody complains as the changes in €/$ rate are tiny.

From my personal experience I can confirm that the support team is friendly, tries to resolve your issues, but ok - they may take up to 3 days when there's a lot of ppl mailing them.
I give them from my personal experience 8/10 for customer support and 11/10 for the incredible hardware.


*edit:
I'm wondering how you define the meaning of the word 'SCAM'. We obviously understand sth. completely different
For me a scam is: faked identity, smoke and mirrors, bad intentions, lies, misleading, sucking your money with no possibilities of refund at all, disappearing with less or no traces, but for sure not a legit company with several thousand happy customers worldwide you can visit during business hours and have a talk, in addition they offer refunds
This leads me to the assumption that you do better in staying stealth regarding your identity, as they might sue you for calumny, which is indeed a crime btw.

Then by your definition they are a scam. They lied/ misled me into believing I would receive a refund in BTC. From this delay, I have now endured a huge financial loss. I have given them until this weekend to solve the issue before I post evidence.

I have called the Stockholm police who want to launch an official investigation into the legitimacy of this 'company'. This has been such a nightmare. I have never experienced so much un-professionalism.

DO NOT BUY FROM KNCMINER.COM - SCAM!

I'm preparing a post with proof of purchase, proof of contact and proof of financial loss. In the meantime, here are the points I will be covering.

- Confirmation of a BTC refund (I paid in BTC) and then a denial that I could no longer receive it
- Blocked me from all communication (phone and emails, I ended up reaching them through an alias email address)
- After 6 weeks they decided to refund me when the price of BTC was around $900 (I paid in BTC when the price was $150) in USD (which was around $10,000 difference)
- I still have not received my refund and I think they have lied to me AGAIN that the refund was processed (when it was not). It has been a week and it is not even displaying whether it is incoming.

I have called the Stockholm police who want to launch an official investigation into the legitimacy of this 'company'. This has been such a nightmare. I have never experienced so much un-professionalism.

DO NOT BUY FROM KNCMINER.COM - SCAM!

I made an account for a similar matter. Kncminer are scammers, as soon as they have your money they don't want to know you. They have blocked my phone number and my emails (both were confirmed by third parties).

I purchased hosting around a month ago and I am STILL awaiting my refund while I watch the BTC price skyrocket. Because I paid in BTC (12.9), I was going to turn the USD refund (even though I should receive BTC back) back into BTC. Now I am looking at getting HALF of my refund back due to kncminer's lack of interest for my refund. They are obviously just riding the price up so they can give back as little as possible.

This is a nightmare! Anyone who would feel angry at losing thousands due to a company vanishing on them would be pissed off. I will be posting my own thread in the next 24 hours with EVERYTHING.

I will not stop until kncminer is brought before the courts and convicted. To the OP, I want to be part of your complaint. I have already called the Stockholm police and 'Scam watch' who have both recommended the AFP to launch a formal investigation. My Government has a huge interest in scammers.

No I don't have those. What do you think is a fair offer for these?

Your OP says you have those exact coins. What the hell.

I bought some of Mike's coins a while back and the main reason why I made an account on here is to see if anyone is interested in them. I am not quite ready to let  them go yet but am just curious on how much someone would pay for them, preferably in BTC.

I have 25BTC, 5BTC, and 1BTC. THE 5BTC AND 1BTC have the hologram error, the 25BTC does not. All is in the original pouch/plastic and have been touch only once. Pretty much in mint condition.

3 Questions:

How much does the coin grading service cost and how do I go on about sending the coins out for grading?
How much of a premium in bitcoins can I expect from each coin?
Any knowledgeable members out there that can help with my questions?

Thanks in Advance.



I'm interested in the 1 BTC coin with error and maybe 5 BTC. Do you use btc-e or mcxnow? I am on both of those sites where we can further discuss (I just made this account to report a scam warning about a certain company).

By delaying my refund for weeks, they have inadvertently made me lose thousands of dollars in BTC due to the price rise. I am looking into potential legal action as well.

Lets all bring down kncminer together! Stop letting these ASIC companies get away with fraud.

Thanks everyone. I emailed them from a different email and they responded immediately, so they have obviously blocked my email/ phone number. Now that they have my money, they don't want anything to do with me. It is still not resolved and they are still withholding my money.

Thank you again for the support.

Sorry to hear about your issues with Kncminer, I got my orders In good time.

Thank you.

I have reached out on multiple occasions to have this remedied. It is now nearing a month since I was unhappy with the issue and they have gone silent. I will do everything possible to ensure everyone is educated about kncminer. Hopefully the police secure a conviction, I have everything documented so it should be very easy.

I have already contacted the Stockholm police. Heading into my local police station tomorrow.


@KGBSlim no I think it is appropriate when they have blocked all communication from me and refuse to answer my emails. It has been weeks since they were meant to send the refund and they continued to say they were putting it in, now they are completely silent and they have even blocked my kncminer account. Sounds like a scam to me. There were other people on btc-e saying they were scammed by kncminer as well.

This guy is deleting people's posts when they try and help him. I think he is a trouble maker, or likely someone trying to get people to cancel their orders so that he can place one, knowing that they are sold out.



No, you 'helped' by advising things that were in the OP. Sorry it came across as rude.

Please read the thread first.

I haven't read the original post

They have cut contact with me and have ran with my $2000 USD. They are unreachable with phone and email. The WORST experience I have ever had with a company.

KNC is one of the few that actually delivers the machines compared to others that go belly up or many months of delay such as BFL...

If I remembered right, their website at that time stated, NO REFUND

The refund was agreed upon as it was only for hosting. The continued to tell me that the refund is coming and now they have dropped off the planet and do not answer phone calls or emails.

This is a blatant scam. Everyone will hear about this.

I was originally pissed that I was being refund in USD, instead of BTC but I finally agreed as I wanted my money back. For weeks they assured me that it was coming and now they have gone completely. Phone number disconnected and everything. There are reports on btc-e of others being scammed as well. I think the issue is wide spread. I am glad the owners are well known, it will make the police report tomorrow very easy to track them down.

Do not make orders with kncminer, if you do, cancel it now! A lot of people I know are not ordering from them anymore. Don't lose thousands like I have.

They have misled me into purchasing their miners. I paid in BTC and they now want to pay me in USD (over $1000 USD less than my original value).

Here's the best part -

They agreed to a refund WEEKS AGO and I have still not received it (while watching the value of BTC rocket in price). Because I was concerned about the process of my refund (as others reported it takes mere days) I started to email them without a response. Their phone number says it has been disconnected and they do not reply to emails (it has been over 4 working days).

They are criminals who will be prosecuted and require a scam tag! They make BFL look good! I will be contacting the local authorities tomorrow.

Take this as a warning -


DO NOT BUY AN ASIC MINER FROM KNCMINER!
