    That's why I bought my own miner and I'm just gonna send it to them to mine

    I bout about 1k tokens but I think I need 1token for every watt so 2 l3+miners 800w each I need about 1600 tokens I might buy more and rent out any left over tokens

    If you're intending to get the WTT tokens, I suggest you do it quick before the price goes up. Right now its the 4th batch of tokens,meaning you will only get them around September.

    I think they are seriously trying their best to acquire the miners as they want it to coincide with the launch of their WTT tokens.

    I know nothing about these tokens or this form of hosting, though I do understand hosting pretty well
    I will not comment on whether these tokens are going to go up in price or are good value, the cheapest
    hosting I know about is cryptoboreas.com at $65CAD per kw per month, I dont know whether they
    are full up or have spots available, it is hard to compare it with theses tokens

    I only replied originally to try and help the OP through the bitcoin mining jungle, not sure I did

    Think I will stick to being a lurker from now on

    cheers

    But I think that's over a 50 year cycle anyway they're full until October

    I might look to see if cryptoboreas have any spots

    Eliassamaha I am just going to be upfront with you, did the transaction of
    buying the miners raise any red flags with you.

    Like being able to purchase an L3+ for less than half the price a current
    ebay auction for the same item is going for.

    Being offered an 18% discount for paying with BTC

    These are big red flags for me, in fact so much so that I lost sleep last night,
    thinking about this, if you read my earlier post warning about scams and pitfalls
    for mining, this is why I spent hours last night trying to get you through this
    jungle without getting eaten, I am concerned that you didnt make it through

    I hope you did

    I fear you didnt

    cheers grant

    It seems legit since there was a option for credit card

    I assumed if they hard a card option then they would be legit

    They sent me a email saying payment received and order being processed I hope it's all good

    Sorry to hear that.

    Would probably be hard to do anything to regain the BTC payment, but you might be able to go after them via the website. I did a trace and the last hop was :-

    rev.opentransfer.com.36.93.18.71.in-addr.arpa [71.18.93.36]

    You could also go after them via the domain name. Some information here that might be worth following up :-

    https://www.whois.com/whois/bitcoins-expert.com

    The best you might hope for would be to get the site & domain taken down so they don't scam others.

    Don't do that. Seems to me like you're making valuable contribution to the forum and have good intentions. You don't need to be right all the time, just share what you know and think and we can muddle through this stuff together.

    We need more people like you involved here, not less :)

    I am really sorry to hear that

    Yeah the site looks professional, but not hard or expensive to do.

    At least you didnt send them any more coin.

    Have you done a google search of this site, and seen if others have
    posted on its legitemacy or not

    I did notice that when I run my cursor across the websites tab
    on my bar it cam up as brooklyn store, maybe look at that

    What extra coin did they ask for and for what reason

    maybe federal police if you can confirm ( to them) that its
    a scam

    I have to go to work now, already late, so if other members here
    can help out, to see if we can clarify an approach to take

    cheers grant

    I put in a complaint with the federal trade commission in the us

    I tried finding the place using the phone but comes up with a place in la on their website doesn't have the street number as well

    Damn I tried calling them after a brief explanation from me about the situation they hang up and now just keeps going through to voice mail
