2) the cloud mining is still operational even they use the excuse that bitcoin prices are too low to payout
Do you have any proof on this?
I truly believe that they have shut down their hardware. Their hardware is not energy efficient enough to have running with low bitcoin value and it would be just stupidity to keep a big 1,7PHs farm running on negative income for long.
@jseppeli
Are you an advocate for them? I mean seriously these people have had excuses after excuses not to deliver. They don't respond to emails and phone calls. I have tried them at least 20 times both ways all during "business hours" They have stolen money, not paid taxes, and most likely have left the country. It's already apparent that they have left the country cause their mining operation is in Iceland. This way can avoid the Swiss govt. when they come after them for tax evasion. These people are criminals so if you want to advocate for them, then go right ahead. Oh by the way if they truly shutdown their mining operation why is so many bitcoin transactions going to their bitcoin address still? That's kind of interesting...isn't it?
No I'm not an advocate for the.
They suspended their cloud 15.1 and after that there has been only 2 incoming transactions which both are most likely transactions for emptying their ghash account. And then they cashed out almost everything from thei wallet aswell.
For them it would be just plain stupidity to keep mining and cause more costs than they have incomes for.
I'm not any ways on their side but still I believe in that their cloud is for real suspended. Usually when they had their cloud active there was also for some reason some small hashes once in awhile on their eligius account. Now there has been no hash there since 15.1.
Now I'm with excitement waiting for that my cloud-contract ends. I'm quite sure they'll try to charge me for the costs during the time it has been suspended. I have all mails archived so they have to sue me if they try to get the money. Surely I'll dig out all the mails they've sent from early December 2013 and show them in court. Hopefully they'll lose bigtime then
What goes to that they have their cloud in Iceland. The electricity is cheaper there than in Switzerland and when they started their cloud in Iceland that meant that there was more money into their pockets when the maintenance fees for running the cloud was lower.
