Ghash.io is reliable? Haven't they been double spending?

Looks like CEX is trying to corner the market from many directions, doesn't it?

Through mining or a rigged trading platfom.

From Status Quo's "Down. Down. Deeper and Down." To The Who's "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere."

Sorry to double post this PSA..  reddit has not managed to turn the tide.
Still growing, pool speed up from 4.16PH to 4.61PH over last 2 shifts (8 mins each).  Perhaps they'll reach 51% by the weekend ?

From my own charts and using my own metrics the price is about fair at the moment.

However, the price trend is always down and you will never mine enough Bitcoins to cover that loss. Still, it doesn't seem to stop the many idiot juveniles that use the site. Think Satoshi dice but with loaded dice and you don't know which number is biased.

Even since the days of GPU mining the price of hardware per hash has fallen constantly. That is why the value of GHash on CEX is always trending downwards.

Whatever you buy now will fall in price. What price a 1GHash GPU based rig now?

From now I would say just about all (and most definitely all cloud based) mining is a loss making proposition. The only way you will profit from mining with your own rig is from price appreciation of Bitcoin. You will never profit from cloud based mining.

And that is just what they are reporting, who knows if their farm is mining on other ips as well.

I mentioned they got 1/3 network control 2 days ago, now it has hit 40% and more people are now expressing their concerns. As their network share increases we will see more people mentioning this issue. Worst case scenario: this issue hits news sites, people start worrying, exchange increases confirmation time leading to panic and I guess we all know what could happen next. Im not even mentioning cex.io doing malicious activity with the network control they have which they could. Im not trying to cause panic and I really hope nothing bad happens but if it does then we will just to have endure and learn from this. Maybe im just paranoid but this cannot go on for bitcoin to survive long term.

Dear CEX

Please could you outline your plans to mitigate against your pool becoming too big?

This is a matter of great urgency to the community.

Here is an example of a mitigation plan that was mercifully never needed:

hey wtf guys: https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs

has    btc/usd  per g/h   ever been price at fair market value or has it always been this off from the beginning. i understand u can sell the shares anytime so i expect it to be slightly higher,but something about this seems way off.  is it more worth it for me to buy a rig/usb to mine with and then sell it on ebay?

Back to normal... Hashing away!!!!

Same Here. Purchased GH/s been offline for over an hour.

Anyone else having problems with bought Ghs not Hashing?

Got 12 Ghs that arent Hashing!

Hardware failure?

Looking for historical data of GHS/BTC at cexio. More than one month.

thx
:-)

Agreed.

I believe that GHASH.IO is as legitimate as any hashing site but that CEX.IO is an ingenious way of getting people to keep their hard-earned Bitcoin on the site with the chance of them gambling it away to CEX.IO

CEX.IO also lures in those without hashing hardware to gamble their Bitcoins too.

At least with Satoshi Dice the game is zero sum. It is not a zero sum game on CEX.IO when CEX.IO is self-regulating its own exchange for its own commodity. A commodity which is constantly trending downwards in price and CEX.IO is the only agent able to short sell that commodity. That is insider trading and in any other field would be ILLEGAL. For a company purports to be based in the UK, I wonder why the Met has not raided it yet.

the site and everything on it works for me except the graphs which just shows a circle loading screen indefinitely.

Does the site crash/not respond in anyone elses browser? weirddd...

I really wish that cex.io would fix the graphs it has not loaded for me in a few days :/

I learned Survival Bias today

Had never heard that term before, and no I don't post my link everywhere, I was weary of it in the first place (hence only playing with small numbers) so I don't have any referrals. I just got super lucky NOBODY should take this as, oh Katie profited so can I...

I do agree most everyone is (more than likely) getting burnt not knowing what they're really getting into, I know a few people from my community were like "Oh, mining that's how you get free Bitcoins!" Then I go on to explain its not free it costs (electricity, time etc.)

I am also questioning what cex.io does but many people are just going to learn it the hard way.
I see referral links everywhere, youtube, forums etc and I feel sorry for those who fall into this.
Many people think they can get rich quick and they have only themselves to blame for not doing research.

I visited cex.io from time to time to see how it does and I saw the drop from I believe 0.08btc/ghash to 0.03btc/ghash. It did not fall slowly, it dropped like a rock which could be a manipulation.
There are a lot of bagholders or should I say hashholders in cex.io which will not get their initial investment and I hope they learn from this. We are in very early stage of bitcoin, things are unregulated, and people are being scammed everyday. Nobody is going to save your assess if you lost your bitcoin to scammers. I am not saving cex.io is a scam but that place sure is fishy.

If you want to trade to increase your btc holdings, it does not make sense trading at cex.io. btc/ghash will only devalue over time, you might get lucky from time to time but once the next dump comes ready to say goodbye to your investment if you are not prepared.
