Topic: Cloud mining / contracts - share your experience - page 4. (Read 11247 times)

- what do you think about monthly maintenance/power fees vs. all-inclusive plans? - All inclusive, the other options seems to be complex just to scam you.

- would you prefer seeing BTC/THS, BTC/GHS, $/THS or $/GHS for contract pricing? All the options, sometimes ones are better sometimes the others.

- what is the min/max hash rate you would consider purchasing/renting? Depending on the price and condifions from 5 GHS to 25 GHS for testing purposes. Only if it works well and pays out whithout issues will consider bigger contracts.

- what is the min/max contract length you would consider; do annual/monthly/weekly contracts make sense? Everithing makes sense depending on the price

- are current referral fees attractive enough that you would recommend a cloud mining service to others? Yes

- would you prefer direct access to your contracted hardware's interface, or a simplified interface? Simplified

Also consider to have a market to operate with the GHS buyed.

I'm currently building out a cloud mining service, and I want to ask people what they like about their current cloud mining services (ie. CEX, GAW, Hashop.io, Hashnest/Snowball.io, Cloudhashing, etc).  I'm about 2 months from launching, so I have plenty of time to implement user-requested features once it rolls out.

For example,

- what do you think about monthly maintenance/power fees vs. all-inclusive plans?
- would you prefer seeing BTC/THS, BTC/GHS, $/THS or $/GHS for contract pricing?
- what is the min/max hash rate you would consider purchasing/renting?
- what is the min/max contract length you would consider; do annual/monthly/weekly contracts make sense?
- are current referral fees attractive enough that you would recommend a cloud mining service to others?
- would you prefer direct access to your contracted hardware's interface, or a simplified interface?

As I said, I'm a few months from launching anything, but your input will help me develop the best service possible.

Thanks!

IMO there are only four cloud mining outfits worth a damn, and one stands out as an excellent buy. I review all four and expose the scams at Altcoin Cloud Mining.

I'm testing several cloud miners with small investment in each one

Pros:
Very cheap and good profit currently at 0.00006680 Mhs
You could sell your Mhs and go aout at any time

Cons:
There are others with more profit/Mhs relation
Some people understand they are not trustable, I've tried myself some withdrawals whithout problems (Could provide the evidence if required)
They mine altcoins and change thm into BTC for paying, some people understand that this could damage BTC in the long term

Pros:
they give you 200 Mhz for "free" testing (In order to retire or use the profit of those 200 you need to buy them real Mhz)
Very cheap and good profit


Cons:
There are others with more profit/Mhs relation
They mine altcoins and change thm into BTC for paying, some people understand that this could damage BTC in the long term
You couldn´t sell your Mhs and go out at any time
Some people understand they are not trustable, I've tried myself some withdrawals whithout problems (Could provide the evidence if required)

Pros:
Trustable site with long history
Market included, you could speculate with the coins and the Ghz you have and obtain additional profit from that
You mine other altcoins at the same time

Cons:
Very expensive, really you loose money if only mine


Link (With refer to me, please use it if you find my info useful) https://cex.io/r/0/fbarcelo/0/

Information for other sites will be added soon.

I have tried cex.io and snowball.io so far.

 Cex is good if you use their api and auto trade, I tried the ghash.io pool against eligius.st and would prefer eligius since the payout was similar.

 snowball.io was giving out a free Ghash so I signed up and tried them, also added some BITs and bought more, they are new and need more hardware and work on the site.

 I signed up with pbmining but haven't funded an account yet.

8 )

I heard a lot of bad things about cex and cloudhashing, some good and some bad about scrypt, mostly good about pbmining, and only good about genesis mining. the rest you mentioned is completely unknown for me... i wonder whether they are even legit, and i would be interested to hear some experiences!

ive been happy with PBMining, constant payouts, competitive prices, and 5 year contracts.. even though in a couple years your contract will be making chump change but its still something

You will never ROI with Eobot cloud mining bitcoin or litecoin. They even publish a disclaimer:

"Cloud mining should be considered as a fun, recreational activity and not a source of income or investment. The above numbers reflect no difficulty increase. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal."

If you are ready to get serious about litecoin cloud mining take a look at litecoin cloud mining reviews for services charging less than $90 per mH. Our top rated service returned over 16% last week with return on investment in 6 weeks.

Anyone heard or EOBOT? https://www.eobot.com/new.aspx?referid=34658 They claim to have 34,000 users, own mining software to download, cloud mining contracts and various currencies.....  Added to the list!

Personally Ive been mining with Scrypt.cc for a few weeks now and have had great experiences. I also have some GHs at PB mining, but I heard that the whole gig was fishy, so I decided to not sink a whole lot of BTC into it.
I've made a little BTC from day trading on CEX.io and enjoyed that for a while, but it was just not economical. Im working on trying to daytrade at scrypt.cc though I am not very good at this point, Its been a great learning experience.
I also own a measly 1 MH on a scrypt rig, but really wish that I had known about these sites before I invested in it. This would have handled alot of conversations with my roommate about the powerbill and saved me a ton of hassle.
All in all, its kind of a new hobby for me, where mining used to be (as its all kind of plug and run). I'd say the hardest part is the patience required for payouts, though it is quite nice to get the 50 min payouts with scrypt.cc

I really appreciate the links you guys have posted, though, definitely something to look into.

most cloud mining contracts don't make profit. we better purchase bitcoin at these low price.

I will try it

i use scrypt.cc its a scrypt cloud mining service similar to cex.io. They are very low in price and very high on tech. the multipool there is beating my own private returns  50% of the time and they take a fee.  any new user that wishes to try the service can do so on me.

open your account using my link :

http://scrypt.cc?ref=baa1f

get yur deposit address

send me a message on here saying  WHERE ARE MY KHS

i will deposit 0.004 into your account

buy khs
start mining

this is valid for the first 10 people who successfully complete this offer or until sunday 3/22 05:00 server time

also i have aN eobot cloud account for sale here   https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5826623 at 1/2 off face value

Thanks, pricey but looks legit and you can mine any coin. Added to the list!

I have still been unable to find a cloud hashing service which can provide full ROI unless BTC goes up to $2k. Just show me this calculation.
This is why I think BTC arbitrage is the only profitable option ATM apart from buying ASIC.
