It looks like CLDmine is already down: https://cldmine.com

I think there is no doubt what will happen next .. Tomorrow a new topic in "scam accusation" section.. Sad

Its time for Hashocean to fall too, a lot of other so called minings are in trouble too, with eobot being full of scam accusations against them, yes their website is up and running, but withdraws are delayed from at least 24 hours now, I think they might fall soon after few days, hope this is the day where all people learn to stay away from these cloud scams. A good day for the bitcoin community where a lot of ponzies are falling down real fast.

Yep, In "digital goods" section, or even in "services" almost everyday i see offers of selling or buying cloud mining - ponzi scripts.. Sad

When you do, let me know and I'll tag the sellers and those who show interest in buying them with negative trust rating.

Here is one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/downloadabitcom-buy-and-sell-digital-goods-scripts-and-software-1318560

They are selling a cloudminr.io clone on their site.

-skip-

can you make the list of "real cloud mining" and now still running his service ?
because im not see any list of it.

i think it's can make some bitcoiner interesting to use it.

If you observe closely, the third section of the list (Rest) says it all.

In general you will find "real" cloudmining firms much lesser in number than ponzis.

MiningSweeden is marked as highly suspicious until everything gets sorted out fairly.
Added more ponzis into the list.

P.S The list of ponzis are growing at a steady rate after every 2-3 weeks!

Thanks for update!

All of the Bitcoin investment opportunities involving cloud-mining seem to turn up as scams at the end of their life cycles. Most of all them are just HYIPs using the whole Bitcoin thing as their front. If it ain't dead yet, it will die soon but like any HYIP, the earlier you enter, the lesser the chance you have of losing your funds but hell some of these sites still give B.S excuses that'll slow you down from getting your deserved cash so it's still risky.

Would rather really suggest just for people to invest in btc lending sites like bitbond...

This is off topic in this thread.
It is specifically for looking at "cloud mining opportunities" and their Ponzi characteristics by applying certain criteria, not for waffling general "advice" that looks like account farming spam.

Any fresh news about MiningSweden payments? Where we can find official informations about that or users complaints?

Yeah; on that news link above, the latest news are that Mining Sweden will cease mining operations at the time of bitcoin halving. If I get it correctly:
-Mining operations will stop at the BTC halving
-Until then, existing users will receive some payouts, but not twice a day as before (I'm guessing weekly or monthly?)
-Mining Sweden may keep on existing but without the "mining" aspect.

this is bullshit from tommy.

Example: I bought
20 GH S7 mining power for 12 months.
All power, maintenance and pool fees for 12 months.

he sells them after 2 or 3 months ?
he shuts them down after 2 or 3 Months ?

Explain that to paypal tommy...

Miningsweden stopped paying more or less a week ago if I'm not mistaken.
Not saying it's proven to be fake yet (maybe they just have some problems) but I think it's important news for this thread.

They said they will have to write their payout scripts again and should fix it by next week.
