Hello,
I am trying to get back into cloud mining again. I remember a few years back I heard about a cloud mining company that gave your hashrate, and then after the mining contract is up, they get 100% back of their initial investment? It was either that or the after the end of the mining contract you get to keep the equipment or something?
Do any of you guys know what cloud mining company I'm referring to? Was this some sort of scam?
Firstly, I wouldn't recommend getting back into cloud mining. Especially considering that hashflare has recently announced that basically all of its contracts will no longer be producing profits due to the difficulty of BTC rising, as well as the tanking prices. If you want to invest in bitcoin, then simply do that. Buy and hold. Cloud mining relies a lot on bitcoin prices going up to turn a profit anyways.
The service that you may be referring to could be Eobot.
All of these services are either shady or not going to turn a profit for you at all. Those who guarantee 100% of your investment back(which I haven't heard of any, actually. Even Eobot I believe gives you the mining equipment, not your investment principal) should be regarded as a ponzi straightaway.
