I'm still using Genesis-mining and they're not a scam an have already made a profit with them.
But my earnings have been much lower after the reward halving.
yeah, genesis mining seems to be really legit at the moment, it is around for a while and it is still paying the people
Genesis Mining like any other company is in business to make money for themselves. They have just designed their products so that customers get a very small piece of the pie. After all their negative press I am still amazed they are able to attract new customers. The
thread by Glucose previously mentioned should be read before buying anything from Genesis Mining.
I don't think you will ROI on any hosted mining investment you buy
now. That might change if Hashnest starts selling S9 hash on Hashnest
and bitcoin price goes up considerably. BW.com is not user friendly for anyone who does not read Mandarin but I have managed to use them with help of Google Translate since the English option on the site is not that good.
If you just have to mine buy an S9 and do it yourself as long as you can handle the noise, heat and power requirements. There are also companies that will
host your S9 for you.
