"Common rogue from Russia with a bare ass."

In other news, Skycoinlab tried to win a point in my scoring by disclosing domain name registration info.
Which only lead me to find out the guy behind it is a serial ponzi organiser:

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

Funnily enough, I came across the MLM world myself just recently, when I followed im0rtel's (the MineThatCloud shill) strange sig.
It led to "BitClub Network, a Passive Bitcoin Mining Opportunity" (7/7 on the Puppet Scale)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10260402

If you were to think that "passive" here refers to the ease of having a cloud mining contract, you would be wrong.
It's classic MLM (Multi Level Marketing) speak for a matrix referral program.
Briefly, MLM's are similar to Ponzi's but distribute the suckers' money amongst themselves by moving up thru levels.
This is a huge industry worldwide, recruitment done by high pressure selling to naive investors and "Bitcoin mining" is perfect material for them.
Just to give an idea of how they view Bitcoin mining, have a look at  https://www.bitcoincycler.net/ 
Go to the Comp Plan page, they hardly mention hashrate or difficulty, it's all about referral levels and marketing bullshit.

BitcoinCycler is "sponsored by Skycoinlab", as is made clear on Lavoie's Google+ page, he runs them both https://plus.google.com/110365658930595040182/posts.

And as the http://behindmlm.com/ scambusters report, both Skycoinlab and BitClub Network operators have their roots in the $500m Zeek Rewards ponzi.
These people are thieving filth.

So cointellect is collapsing.. no actual mining company would have trouble paying out what they mine.

We found this news not yet confirmed in the Italian Cointellect FB group (in which there's also Daniel Fonseca from the company).

That's what they say...

With hard work. The thing is we have more than 70000 customers. Lots of them when bitcoin drop request the money. We are a small company and we were not expecting so much request. So when we started with the delays, more and more customers did the same and start to request money. So our system failed. If all customers of a bank went there to take out the money, in the same day, the bank will not pay you. Everyone knows that and accept. We are passing the same. There is feel of fear in the air and a kind of panic and lots of customers made a lot of requests. So We are paying very slowly because the number of request is too high. I am sorry for that situation but like I told before we are working hard to pay to all customers.

New kid on the block:

http://hashwar.co/

I would give them a 6/7 score. They don't have an affiliate program, the rest is highly suspect.

This needs a bump, Puppet Wink

I'm Peter (http://sg.linkedin.com/in/peteryeo), Founder of Cloudmining.SG FB.com/cloudminingsg
Our apologies for our poorly maintained website as we have yet to focus our efforts on the marketing elements such as website of cloudmining.sg as we have a lean team and we were focused on gearing up the infrastructure of the facility. Due to our economies of scale and local government support, we have managed to obtain an extremely low cost of US$0.084 per kwh, which has allowed us to continue to be profitable vs other unprofitable cloudmining operations that were forced to shutdown.

I would like to invite you to visit our 4MW capacity mining facility with over 3% of the 1.1TH/s Global hashrate of Litecoin and Dogecoin
(if you are in the region or anyone from the forum who is based here or is attending the InsideBitcoinSG event in Singapore.)
 ..

Thank you for providing additional information.  
The google drive link doesnt work without permission, but I will grant you the point for #3 based on the picture you did post.
Unfortunately for you, that still leaves you with 4 points, at least one of which should be easy to address by publishing your pool / mining address(es) details.

Bear in mind if you are in Singapore, the authorities are extremely strict, where the authorities will even charge a fine for chewing bubblegum, let alone run a shady operation.

Here's another two CLOUD MINING SERVICES for you to look at:

Thanks, added both with preliminary assessment.
For POW88 :
pow88.com             1+2                => 2/7 = Probably legit (preliminary assessment)

I didnt give them a point for referral because its only 1%. PIctures dont look impressive, but neither does the available hashrate (50TH), this is a small operation.

Cloudmining.sg doesnt look that good so far:
cloudmining.sg        1+2+3+4+7          => 5/7 = (very) suspicious (preliminary assessment)

And ive been generous granting them point 6 (identity) despite the fact there isnt even a contact address on their site, but I guess this will do:

Dear OP,
Thank you for providing the service to educate us on how to spot Ponzi Schemes, as such operators have tainted the cloudmining industy negatively.
Your commended efforts are much needed and lacking in this industry that lacks transparency and regulation.

clown?ious you should check the reasons behind that. I can not understand your problem if someone wants to risk HIS money for illusions? should i guess you tried to gain money and you lost and it created a psychological problem? Kiss

Only lost money in Mt Gox and i tired 4 solid months to get out once the alarm bells started ringing. 

Im not stupid enough to play Ponzi miner. 

Never been a fan of anything cloud to be honest.  Except for ex-lease cloud servers off ebay  Grin

i told you, i dont invest any single satoshi to here
i was here with their free Gh promotion Smiley

This is why "free promotions" are a red flag for a ponzi.
They are giving away nothing, but the recipients bring the illusion of activity and are more likely to put some real money in after seeing a few bogus figures.
