Bitcoin prices have defintiely gone down, which is potentially why this is happening. However, it could just be another one of the tricks that they play (just like they did with lifetime contracts) in order to avoid paying as much.
BTW, can anyone confirm that are all users of Hashflare being affected by this? Or just the people who bought their contracts at times when they were extremely pricey? Either way though, it's best to steer clear of cloud mining altogether, especially HF.
Why actually maintainence fees becoming the trouble for the past few months mate. I want to invest 500 USD in cloud mining contract with in some months that should be goes with the fees alone who will going to invest on the cloud mining mate.
That is reason many of the people really not suggesting the cloud mining as a investment for making profit. Even the contracts rate also high when compare these days.
