I know sweet fuck all about cloudminr, the only thing i do know is they cannot spell miner correctly
yes i just presume they are a ponzi scam and no that is not the same as comparing apples and oranges, it just makes me a bit lazy and ignorant to go research if they are a ponzi scam or not, are they a ponzi scam?
edit: fuck it, you made me actually take 1 minute out of my day to research this crap. first port of call, cloudmining 101 thread-

OK, the people running that thread
conclude that it´s a scam and therefore you
know for a fact that it´s a scam. That´s very interesting since neither you nor they have any real evidence to prove such a conclusion. But of course it´s easy peasy - they´re
guilty until proven innocent. And even if they´re legitimate the constant harrassment and hate campaigns by shills on these threads may drive customers from them so their operation isn´t viable anymore. And they go belly up and therefore must be a scam. It´s called a self-fulfilling prophecy, maybe you´ve heard of that.
I think you need to do some research into new enterprise success ratios.
Outside of Crypto-currency business, professional funds lending to new business ventures only expect a 1 in 20 ventures they fund to become a profitable success in medium to long term. A small amount of those new ventures are scams, but most are genuine economic failures.
On those statistics, why do you expect new crypto-currency ventures to have a higher success ratio? Saying every crypto venture failure is a "scam" is the same as saying "I'm a moron, who doesn't know anything about macro economics or maths or can do the research".
A lot of these are genuine bankruptcies or venture failures. You need to spread you investments between different mining operations (amhash, genesis mining, etc), different big crypto currencies (BTC, DRK, LTC, FTC, VTC, etc) and new crypto currencies (plenty of these to choose from, LOL).
Gensis mining paid mbtc 4.59 yesterday and AMhash paid 3.18mbc yesterday. Both manufacturers' ASIC farms are in Iceland. Clearly, Gensis has the better mining equipment (they also negotiated a 40% reduction in their electricity price, which was passed onto their customers).
Another manufacturer Zeus mining has put out a warning not to buy its' BTC cloud mining offerings, clearly its' mining equipment is not very good. The manufacturer's scrypt cloud mining (10,000 people) customers recently lost their contracts under the 10 day unprofitably rule when LTC plunged in price. That was a genuine business failure, it was not a scam. People in this forum keep calling everything a "scam" or a "ponzi scheme", because they lost money on a investment, but this is what happens as a norm in real economies with relation to new economic ventures.
