This BTC price drop changes the picture again. It s going to prolong ROI significantly and reduce prices of contracts as well. Cloud mining s become a really tough business to participate in but I still have no major complains about Hashnest. I would like to pay fixed amount per day, like Genesis Mining for example. This good/bad luck s really discouraging.

i think when we get to the next bitcoin block halving the price may go up. Atleast that is what i am wanting to happen as i am sure by then the bitcoin difficulty will be through the roof unless something happens to slow it down Roll Eyes

This sucks big time. Hope the price recovers in the meantime for owners of Umisoo.

On the other hand, if these get turned off, would this affect diff?

There is no guarantee that they will be turned off, or that S2's are currently hashing for the UMISOO contract. If Bitmain has gone in and upgraded all S2's to S5's already, then they can provide the hashrate for the UMISOO and S2 contracts for cheaper than what they are selling it for. It also means they will probably continue to mine with them or resell them as S5's now.

I also always bet that they had cheaper than .098 kw/h electricity rates, but charged us that amount. So they could still run them for themselves if it makes sense.

So you are saying Bitmain might claim to shut them off and would not actually do that?

Sure why not? Whats the contract really mean anyway? They can have any type of hashpower they want backing up all the hashpower that they sell, and can make the power rate anything they want. If I really wanted to, I could sell you hashpower from an S5, only sell you 1 TH/s of power, and claim power is .15 cents per kilowatt hour. Then, when that point is not profitable, I tell you the contract is over, then I keep running the machines for myself until it hits a point where it really isn't profitable anymore.

Not saying this is what is happening. But it is a possibility. They could be making more money if they had switched out all S2's and S3's with S5's and then continued your hashing power as if they were the lower model and banked the difference.

And as with any business that wants to avoid regulation and prosecution they're in China. WTF can anyone here do to a business in China that rips them off? Sue em? Good luck. It's a gamble as is pretty much anything BTC related. So far I haven't seen hashnest doing anything really sketchy to indicate them ripping customers off, but anything is possible and if they were really savvy we would never even know it, just like you illustrated.

exactly, not that I care. I agreed to the contracts that I have with them when I purchased. I don't care what goes on behind the scenes and if they make more money, as long as I continue to get paid based on the contract they entered into with me. If they were to give back at all, and reduce fees or whatever, I would probably invest more, but I don't see that happening.

I guess my whole point was to the person saying hashrate could go down when those contracts end, and I was saying that they could possibly not be turning off the miners.

i am sure people can take legal action no matter where they are if needed for whatever reason. Like has been said is a gamble so always need to only invest what you can afford to loose.

0.0004 BTC in last 24 hour with 1.2+ THs, is it just me ? I see no official message and looks like antpool's hashrate is fine for the last 2-3 days

Remember the days we had @ 150%? This is just a manifestation of the how mining luck averages out. It will continue to fluctuate, but at the end of the day it will balance out close to average. For those of us with our own mining gear the worst thing we could do is pool hop, in my opinion, as the pool will (sooner rather than later) have higher than average luck again.

The pool didn't find a single block for 7.30 minutes. Terrible luck, today is one of the worse results ever.

So I will say it like this, Hashnest is the last good cloudmining out there but I went ahead and sold 4th of S4 today and am out. Why? I figured I could sell at a decent price and if I end up wanting an S4 later I can just buy in at the end of break even days for a lot less.

I think you did it too early. I think BTC ll rebound again and S6 should not be out for at least 2 more months. I could be wrong.

where did you read news about the s6 i have not seen anything that seems reliable, i only found a site that was poorly built and i dont know if is reliable. Please feel free to post link so i may read it thanks

No official news about S6, just speculations so far.

LOL, BTC is lower now than it has been for a long time. You really think you made any money by selling your hash? Nope. If anything you lost money.

that may not be the case look at me when i sold off some investments on here i sold after they had ROId so pretty much i did sell for cheaper but had already mined the initial investment so was actually profit Wink

Here is the whole official announce:

Quote

Hi all - Due to the falling bitcoin price this week, ANTS2 and UMISOO contracts currently have higher maintenance fees than they do revenues.

From April 14th, 2015 (Beijing time, GMT+8), Hashnest will calculate once daily ANTS2 and UMISOO expected revenues on a PPS basis. This calculation will be performed between 12:00 and 13:00 Beijing time each day. If this calculation returns a negative result, the losses will not be deducted from your remaining balance.

If negative income conditions persist for ten days in a row, ANTS2 and UMISOO contracts will be terminated.
Currently, theoretical PPS return per terahash should be 0.01017BTC, and the daily electricity cost per terahash of ANTS2 and UMISOO is $2.304 USD. As long as BTC price is lower than $226.54 (2.304/0.01017), the electricity fee will exceed the mining rewards.
The bitcoin price used will be the CoinDesk BPI USD price.

When we wrote $226.54, we used it to calculate the situation "ANTS2 and UMISOO contracts will be terminated". BTC price used to calculate will change along with difficulty increasing.
Hashnest will pay you by PPS mode instead of frequently changing between PPS and PPLNS mode due to the fluctuant BTC price.
It is the best way to reduce user's loss under current conditons.

Janet -

Just so everyone is on the same page. Today we had a positive payout so the 10 days will restart if we have another negative payout. Can you please confirm?

thanks

Janet,

I see hashrate on Antpool s been rapidly decreasing recently. What do you think might be the reason for this? Recent bad luck of the pool?

Umisoo was slightly profitable for most of the day yesterday. The coindesk price was above the threshold until after 1:30 Bejing time and is currently below.

Based on how Bitmain stated the redemption period works. There should have been small PPS payouts and it should have switched to PPLNS for the day. Assuming the price stays below it would have switched back in 24hrs and the 10 days redemption period wold start again.

Can someone from Bitmain clarify?

Hi
Here is the terms of "Miner Redemption":

Quote

1. If due to falling bitcoin exchange rate or increase in mining difficulty, the electricity fee is greater than 90% of mining revenues, mining contracts on Hashnest will enter a “redemption waiting period”.

2. As we do our best to keep mining contracts profitable, during this waiting period, revenues will be paid out according to the PPS method.

3. If owing to a rising exchange rate, the ratio of electricity fees to PPS payout is lower than 90% for a period of ten continuous days, then mining contracts will revert back to the PPLNS method.

4. During this waiting period, if electricity fees are greater than revenues for a sustained period of ten continuous days, Hashnest reserves the right to retire the machines. When machines are retired, a user’s contract will then enter into the “hardware redemption period”.

5. Prior to a machine entering into this hardware redemption period, Hashnest will not accept any requests for hardware redemption.

6. During the hardware redemption period, users are given a period of fifteen days during which requests for hardware redemption must be made.

7. Customers holding enough GH/s to constitute an entire machine of the associated type (e.g., 1155 GH/s of Antminer S5) are eligible to convert that amount of GH/s into the used unit of the associated type. If a user does not have enough GH/s of the associated kind to exchange for actual hardware, then this user is not eligible for hardware redemption.

Janet - Thanks for the reply but my question had to do with why the 10 days did not reset today. According to the official message sent out - Coindesk price will be used and calculation will be done every day between 12-1 Beijing time. Today between 12-1 Beijing time Umisoo and S2 were profitable. (slightly)

It looks like the calculations and payments were processed several hours later once the price had dropped. Yes I understand that currently it is not profitable. I believe that we are not going to stay at these price levels forever so every day is important.

Please clarify.

Hi,

Before we announce "a user’s contract enter into the “hardware redemption period”", Hashnest will pay you by PPS mode instead of frequently changing between PPS and PPLNS mode due to the fluctuant BTC price. It is the best way to reduce user's loss under current conditons.

It is the term that PPS payout is being processed before we announce "end 'redemption waiting period' " or "enter into 'hardware redemption period' "

Janet

Janet,

The official message gave a price $226.54 (or close to that) and a time of day the payout would be calculated. It seemed pretty clear that if the price was over $226.54 that Umisoo/S2 would be switched back to PPLNS and if it dropped below the next day that the 10 redemption waiting period would start.

If that is not the case under what conditions will payouts restart? As I write this the Coindesk BPI is $225.91. If the difficulty goes down slightly as expected Umisoo/S2 should be slightly profitable. What else has to happen for it to be turned back on?
