I'm a customer, and I will say this, though their service is probably the best, you cannot ROI anymore. All those front page mining calculators do not take in the Difficulty increase over time, so they produce false results. You could go and try looking for a different solution really, just not SHA256. My opinion thought, your bitcoins and your choice in the end.

I didn't even know there were BTC profitability calculators WITHOUT the ability to project difficulty increases in your calculations.  Most calculators have this and the "default" number is normally set between 20-30%.

Perhaps we could use your expertise then if you think we can do it safely.  It will take a lot to budge us though, since things are fine the way they are.  We sell the hash power as soon as we put it online, so there isn't much incentive yet to do things differently since business is already booming.  Even the smallest risk is not one worth taking.  We are open to suggestions, however.  Send me an e-mail with more details of your idea and we will discuss it further.

2. Because there are people who want to bring us down.  All I will add to that is big players in their earliest stages need to be careful what pool they mine in.  We don't have any reason to do anything differently than what we're doing.  No matter what anyone thinks they know, there is risk when you are in our shoes.

I am not trolling in any way. I am just curious about this on a technical standpoint. Let's say that you are mining on a pool and you disclose which hardware you use and which pool you are using. How can this affect your security? The pool will pay a BTC address, which is anonymous per se. The pool may log your IP but you can protect yourself behind a VPN. How can people damage you?

Again, I am just interested in the technicalities behind this. I have invested in PBMining and I will continue investing.

Any one figure out why they use a coin mixing service?

For payments.  And if the answer is security how can a bitcoin address that u mined to be a security risk

1. It's not a dedicated mixing service.  The coins do get mixed though, yes.
2. Because there are people who want to bring us down.  All I will add to that is big players in their earliest stages need to be careful what pool they mine in.  We don't have any reason to do anything differently than what we're doing.  No matter what anyone thinks they know, there is risk when you are in our shoes.

I shouldn't need to go into details again because this has been discussed, and arguing why we should stick to our methods will be a never ending battle.  Smiley  Our priority is to protect this operation and to protect the customers.  Simple as that.

Thank you for fast reply.

It'd be nice if we could make THAT answer a sticky to every page on this thread, because out of the 100+ pages I am assuming at least half are people whining about your service and wanting details of how it works.  Let's put it to rest people.

I have one feature suggestion. In my profile page, I currently see the total of my account balance. Can I also get the total of Last Payout Amount and Sum of Total Payout?

I believe you already have that.. they are called "Last Payout Amount" and "Total Payout".


Yes, but these are per each contract. I would like to have a total of all the contract, in the same way of the account balance, which reflects the total account balance of every contract.

You are right.  We will add this very soon.  Smiley

I bought 5ghs on 22-02-2014 paid about 0.051 btc , and it made me 0.03 btc so far Smiley Not so bad.
Yes looking at the global payouts it looks they are on par or better than other cloudhashing sites.  Good Luck on your ventures and consider reinvesting your profits every difficulty change.

Whats the point in reinvesting my profits ? That way i will never make real profit ? Cheesy
This way all i make its profit, i kinda lied , i did not bought 5ghs i got it as a gift Smiley .
If you invested nothing good.  5ghs last year, good, this year you'll need to reinvest to get anything decent for profit.  It's like buying a lottery ticket, I will never brake a $20 bill for a ticket but dont mind using change to buy one.  Just saying with a little change you can double that profit until next difficulty.
