Hey, someone told me hashnest is the biggest scam site, why would they say that if it wasn't true?

I guess that someone was trying to get you into his own pseudo-cloudmining scheme. Hashnest is owned by bitmain - the company that produces mining hardware of their own. I'm not advertising anything though Grin

Most likely this is true. Look into some of the accounts that push some of the crap scam cloud mining sites. The only cloud mining site I would even send people to is hashnest. It just is the only one around with the legitimacy.

That being said I personally would think about buying a miner and looking at hosting as a option. I just like owning the hardware as it gives me something to sell at the end. Which can be a nice little bump in ROI.

So we should use ant mining or also cloud mining is the same?
because i found cloud mining on oxbtc, the maintenance fee is very cheap.
could someone give me advice?
Thanks in advanced!

Don't go with one that you found that has cheap prices. Sadly cloud mining if full of scams. A lot of sites do not even have gear behind them, they fake mining.. give you part of what you paid.. and in the end you lose money.

I really like owning gear personally. You might look at owning the gear and hosting it somewhere. There are lot's of options out there for this. But if you do decide to go cloud mine as Phil suggested deffinaly go with hashnest.

Thank you for your advice! It's very helpful, i will be care of all these cloud mining site.
i see their mining facility on facebook so i decide to make a little invest.
if i got any news i will come back to post it.
thanks again for your advice!

I hope you stuck with a "little" as they are so many cloud mining scams. Hashnest is the ONLY one you will find people recommending if you really want cloud mining, and there is good reason for that.

I personally like idea of owning miner and hosting it somewhere even better myself. But anyone reading be careful with "low cost/high roi" cloud mining. As a lot of those sites will take the money and run, or just simulate mining and make it appear you lost some money due to fees. Most of these fly by night cloud mining sites I doubt even have equipment.

most cloud mining sites are terrible dishonest etc. ponzi schemes

here is a cloud site from the biggest builder of gear. bitmaintech built the s-1 the s-3 the s-5 the s-7

https://www.hashnest.com/

https://www.facebook.com/hashnest/

will it make money for you I have no idea. but they let you sell the hash pretty easy if you want to quit.

I have used them and made a small profit maybe 10 btc in and 10.5 btc out.

Thanks so much for your kind heart!! I learn a lot!
i have email oxbtc and they told me that i could see their mining facility if i want.
though i don't know if i should trust them, but i can buy 100GHS to try, also it got coupons now so it won't cost me to much for a try. if i don't want it anymore i can sell it.
And thanks for the info of hashnest, i will try that too!

Does mining actually can be profitable in 2016 guys?

As stated before, it comes down to how many time you want to invest and how expensive your power is.
I started of by buying a kw/h measuring gadget and i let my SP20E run for a month, after that i calculated if i made any profit at all.
In my case i came out even, because the electricity is around 17 cents per KW. Still i find the exchange from money to electricity to BTC to money again quite fun and i like to fumble around electronics. So that's a huge plus for me.
And if you are here for profit, having a S7 Antminer would be a huge bonus.
I hope that's an ok answer for you!

Remember that your router ip has to be 192.168xxx, otherwise it will not work.

True for dhcp, for static IP they do in fact work on 10.x.x.x

Hi guys !
Please don't laugh or roll your eyes!
I'm trying here!lol!
How do I deposit my bitcoin from one address to other?
I'm missing something?
Do I need to go to a certain place-Whenever I am asked to deposit bitcoin it gives me an address that looks like my bitcoin address but I don't know what to do- Do I need a bitcoin wallet and if so do you all recommend one over the other.
Any good suggestions on where to get lots of free bitcoin?
I live in Miami and a lot of people are not aware of Bitcoin-
Please help!
Thank you in advance
mamakass72

Yes you need a wallet it will store your bitcoins, and allow them to send to another address. But from the wallet holding your coins you say to send to another address. Read up on which ever wallet your using most have little FAQ and make it very easy.

I think you just need to do a little searching on bitcoin. I would be careful holding to much till you do some research.

Yes but it's gotten much harder at this point. You really need cheap electricity at this point there is no way around it. If you don't have cheap electricity then no you will not profit.

And remember profit's from mining never have and never will be a sure bet. There is always risk with a mining investment. Right now a big risk is if you buy gear... how long till next gen? Answer is no one knows.

There's a stochastic part to mining profitability and it is the difficulty increase.

Someone mentioned above he was getting different values from different calculators, this is where it comes from.
It's really hard to guess and it's why investing in mining is pretty risking since you usually can't reach ROI very quickly.

Some calculators are horrible they will show a year at current difficulty, and try for investments using misleading info. This is part of why I like bitwisdom it's great to be able to change difficulty. Even still your right it's speculation and hard to get right long term, just is very hard.

And yes at one time it was 3 month ROI. Now day's on asics it's much much longer, some even have to count on sales to make ROI. So has gotten harder to ROI.
