hashcoin.com ~1+2+3+4+7 => 5/7 = (very) suspicious (user selectable pool requires fee, dc pictures show no miners, linkedin profile doctored, hardware sales very dubious,..)

I would ask you to reconsider Hashcoins - i'm sure they would be glad to hold a Skype call with you to show the office, miners and answer any queries or suspicions you may have

Any company is free to address the community concerns directly with the public and we will update our reporting shortly after. There is no need for private Skype calls, they should just be more transparent and post the information on their website or here directly.

im ssoooooo tired of this scamming bs ..

You are better off refusing to participate in cloud mining, buying BTC directly, and pressuring ASIC manufactures to lower prices and behave more responsibly.

Here are ways you should store your bitcoins :

case and point - do not buy cloud mining. Period. Ever. Just save your bitcoins, buy physical miners if you like, and WORK for your money. Create real value for society. Cannot get something for nothing, do not let ANYONE convince you to part with your money.

I told you so, we have an avalanche of collapsed ponzis Wink

btw if they were really mining the hardware they were using would be not affected and working as usual.

Aw, 'mining the miners' is a very poignant metaphore :/

I meant the hardware Wink

Hehe well still wel put!

I have improved it again Wink

There's still the discussion wether the ponzi's that collapsed in recent days were doing fractional reserve mining or no mining at all. First clue is that their demise most probably did not make a big dent in the global hashrate.

That's because the hashrate was fake.

Worst thing so far, they will not all explode before Bitcoin resumes expansion and your sites will still be filled with shitty scammy adverts for cloud hashing.
