Very quiet in here. Any news from Ambercoin / Dev ?
It is in one week CNY holiday.
I'm confused, what does the Chinese new year have to do with the apparently European Ambercoin dev? Am I missing something?

An announcement to the effect that Q4 dividends will be in BTC would be nice. Personally I got out of Amber last year and just got my Q3 profits in amber, I know I'd be much happier with that 10K amber instead of $527 worth of BTC if amber were actually worth something on the exchange at the moment. I'm guessing a little less dithering and an announcement that Q4 dividends will be in BTC again would do it...

Hello everyone

I have to tell you my experience with mintsy.co to all forum... very bad, pure scam!

I bought a contract:

Duration: 6 Month (s)
Hashrate: 2.5 Th / s
Price: $ 949.00

And, in the six months ... received only $ 260.96

Do not invest in Mintsy.co, pure scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam...

Always inactive contract issue  Embarrassed

Agreed, total scam, my contracts went inactive once I started spending a bit more with them and they're still advertising for more clients. That's called a SCAM! Oh and good luck getting a refund, I was told they don't provide refunds.

So this whole ordeal is out of my hands since I have limited involvement with the business side of Mintsy, but I thought I would update folks with what I know especially since I promoted it in its early stages. Mintsy is a standalone joint venture between Cryptsy, and DigitalBTC.

Cryptsy was to provide the development DigitalBTC the mining, and hashrate. Without discussing the legal side of this they pulled out the the deal rather abruptly. Leaving everyone in a lurch. I know Paul who is still on the board of directors for Mintsy is trying to find another partner/provider, and then find a way to refund or recover lost work for those that had contracts.

I did find this article and I can only assume it may be related.
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/digitalbtc-reports-6-77-million-first-year-net-loss-management-nonetheless-bullish/

About all I know at this time. If I can find out more I will post it.

Be nice if there was a bit more transparency then. Mintsy.co is still signing up new people, there is zero indication of any issues on the front page and I've been told refunds are not an option. To me looks an awful lot like a scam that took several hundred dollars from me and many others I'm sure.

I think that at this point it should be pointed out that this service is very close to being a scam. Unless someone here managed to get a refund, I've heard nothing but negative experiences. Furthermoire, BitJohn hasn't been online here for months and the support isn't helpful. Stay away people.

I'm having the same inactive contract issue with external and Mintsy pools, so far over 2 weeks and a bunch of lame excuses later and I have yet to get a refund. My initial experience was great by the way, I bought a total of 8 contracts with them, the first two went just fine. Two more stopped working close to contract end, the last 4 still have months on them and have been inactive for some time.

I asked several times for a refund and wasn't even answered. Worse, it doesn't seem like a resolution is coming any time soon, here's a quote from my ticket:

Quote
Hi M****,

My apologies, unfortunately we have not been able to resolve the issue with inactive workers at this time. We are currently seeking a new provider. (our old provider Digital BTC has backed out of our contract) Once a new provider is active, accounts will go live again and we will decide on case by case basis what we will be doing with accounts that were affected.

Your patience is greatly appreciated as we go through this transition. Thank you, have a great day!


Ticket: https://mintsy.freshdesk.com/helpdesk/tickets/

Sincerely,
Leah
Mintsy Support

So they currently have NO HARDWARE PROVIDER according to her response. When I asked in a followup how they could think it reasonable to not offer a refund when they don't even have a hardware provider I was ignored. My advice is likewise to stay away.

For those like me that aren't getting money back so far, complain everywhere, let's make sure that if we don't get our money they at least don't get new customers signing up for a non-existent service. They're US based, so I'm planning on filing a complaint on Project Investors Inc with the Better Business Bureau, this is the company behind Cryptsy and Mintsy, http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/business-and-trade-organizations/project-investors-in-delray-beach-fl-90098747

Best of luck to anyone still waiting for their refund.

I see we had some excitement on the Exchange, for the record, none of that dump was me, got much nicer offers, the rest of my 88k was sold between rounds 3 and 4 pricing (off the exchange). So sorry to anyone I did not get back to and best of luck with Ambercoin. I hope to buy back in later on when my situation changes.

dont wanna have much bitcoins for longer time on exchange^^

You should send a PM to dude 1 page back who needs to sell for a family situation

already done.. Wink waiting for a answer.
i think now between 13k-12k is good deal between two of you.
both of you will be happy around that price.

I got quite a few offers actually, will get back to everyone that pm'd me today, doesn't look like I'll have much trouble selling my remaining shares, thanks for all the offers.

Why don't you sell shares to Amber Trade:
"We are ready to buy back all coins (shares in the company) bought from us at any time in any rounds of share offering at the purchase price. Thus, there is no risk of losing your investment (...) For anonymous investors the procedure of repurchases of shares is the following: they have to inform the company about their intention to withdraw from shareholdings by sending a note to the company’s e-mail address as well as sending the corresponding number of coins to the company’s wallet. After that the company will return the full amount of money to the specified address of a bitcoin wallet within the next 5 days."

Didn't think that was an option since I bought the shares on the exchanges and not from Amber Trade.

@AmberCoinDev is the above suggestion an option?

another dump - to 12k - that looks bad  Sad

Yeah, sorry, that'd be mostly my fault. I'm the shareholder that needs to sell off shares (personal reasons). Been trying to do it slowly believe it or not, but 140k shares don't go unnoticed apparently. Don't need to sell them that quickly, open to suggestions on minimizing impact.

How much do you still have to sell?

About 88k on exchanges (bleutrade and c-cex). Pulled it off open orders since I'm trying not to screw things up for anyone.
