Lets just assume its the scam it is and open a new thread "What to do when a cloudminer runs away with your cash" might as well get it set up and ready.
Well, if were opening up a new thread like that, lets think about putting a button on it for donations for restitution of the victims. Lets get a list going of volunteers
who can at the right time provide a shoulder to cry on and a sympathetic ear.  We might be able to provide some small comfort to them assuring them life will go on even though their bitcoin won't be going on with them.

My Q is elsewhere. If a Ponzi can pay better than a real service, then what is the purpose of running that service at all from business point of view ?

Do you even know what a ponzi is?  Its a scam. It can only pretend to offer high rewards right until when it collapses because not enough new investors buy in to it, and the scammer runs off with the loot.  Calculate your "profits" if you bought last month and pbmining runs off next month.

So, the highest and lowest payment of AM Hash in last week against 1 Ghs as found from the above data are 822 & 805 Satoshi respectively.
On the other hand the theoretical yield of each day in last week was supposed to be 1248 Satoshi.

Only ponzi's with no hardware can pay out theoretical yields without including electricity and maintenance fees. AMhash fees are clearly published, do the math, and if you still cant figure it out, please take it to the appropriate thread.

But PB mining is not paying out the theoretical yield here. I cant take this as an indication of not being a Ponzi. I'll just give it a benefit of doubt as they are paying more than all legit services.

How much is the return of CEX/AM Hash last week against a certain hash power ? Do u have any data ?

You can view the historical data for AMHash on the Havelock website. Just click the Dividends tab.

Per unit signifies to how much GHs here ?


https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=AMHASH1
"AMHash1 is a mining Fund which has 5 Peta-hash per second or (5,000,000 Giga-hashes per second) in total.
The Fund is divided into 5 million (5,000,000) units each of which represents 1Gigahash per second.And this IPO is set to 5 blocks,each block is 1PH(1,000,000 units). If one block is sold out,the next will start automatically."

So, 1 unit = 1 GH/s.

I'm not very verse with this HaveLock thing. So I'm assuming that all the data provided above are correct...

So, the highest and lowest payment of AM Hash in last week against 1 Ghs as found from the above data are 822 & 805 Satoshi respectively.

On the other hand the theoretical yield of each day in last week was supposed to be 1248 Satoshi.

So, AM Hash payout is varying in between 64.5% to 65.9% as against PB mining's 80% to 85% !!!

didn't realise it was that far back...

1. Of course we are hashing, otherwise we would be paying our users out of our own pockets and that would eventually make us bankrupt.  We are here to succeed and have paid out our customers on time since our launch.
 
2. There are no mining pool fees to the customer.  We cover our own mining fees from our pool workers which the customer will never have to see.

Instead, the customer is payed based on this fixed formula, taken right from our PHP script:

$per24 = ($totalHashingPower * 25 / $difficulty) * (60 * 60 * 24 * 65535 * pow(10,6) / pow(2,48));

This formula is standard with all Bitcoin Profit Calculators.  Our users do not mine directly with our hardware -- the advantage of this is that we are capable of insuring them during any downtime or performance reductions.  PB Mining guarantees a fixed rate of hash power at 100% efficiency -- a luxury you will not find anywhere else. 

Enough time will pass to the point where the Blockchain ledger speaks for itself when you look at all our happy piggies.   Smiley

We are also the first company to give away free hash power. 


Can you break this calculation down?

I'm not so sure how probable it is with 4.3 PHs to have such a bad luck that could explain this -15%. I tend to believe
it's not entirely impossible, but maybe someone can make a short calculation..

but pbmining already stated earlier in this thread, quite categorically, that the rewards are based on fixed calculations. They even posted the actual calculation formula which they use. Posted way back in the spring.

Someone should write to PB's support. It makes no sense for them to go down with payouts to 85%,
in case they are legit as well as in the case they are a ponzi. I can only think of a technical
error as of now.

pbmining was online a few minutes ago. He chooses not to tell you.

My best guess is that he is testing Anya's theory that reducing payouts without reason or cause is a good way to increase credibility in this scam. If enough investors are as delusional and as she is -and Ill have to assume a quite high level of delusion among people who invest money in a scam as obvious as this- it might even work.

Why r u so silent about the -ve payment of CEX.io ? PB Mining pays 85%... that is a crime. And CEX.io, AM hash etc. pay -ve... that is fine ?
Yes, because it's clearly spelled out in the terms. You pay maintenance fees based on time, and your payout is based on the income of that hashing power. If you have a run of significant bad luck, you can get paid negative. If you have a run of luck, you can get paid out greater than 100%. Either way, it's the terms people agreed to.

Because
1) the question about cex.io has been answered
2) cex.io payments (afaik) are consistent with their published fees and pool luck
3) AMhash payments are consistent with their published fees and pool luck (and far from negative atm)
3)  this thread is about pbminig

You never know, he might be. I've heard it described that many of the 419 scams are intentionally made ridiculous precisely because they don't want to attract any questioning people. They make the claims so outlandish that only the most gullible will follow up, increasing the percentage of people who will follow through and send them money.

Why r u so silent about the -ve payment of CEX.io ? PB Mining pays 85%... that is a crime. And CEX.io, AM hash etc. pay -ve... that is fine ?

On one acc, I have 1350 GHS, according to the dashboard, I should get 0.10143842
I received this amount. To the satoshi. So no difference between the dashboard and the payout.

But I also believe I should have received around 0.1179. Strange...

So u have got 86% of the theoretical yield. Looks like all the payments are within the range of 80% to 90%. Is it the historical data or PB mining used to pay 100% at some point of time ? Can u guys plz check your previous week's payment and report here ?

Can someone tell me why I got -0.010100 btc after mining for a week in cex.io?  I have 500 ghs.

you're welcome.

It can well be defined as a mining variance by PB. How much is the return of CEX/AM Hash last week against a certain hash power ? Do u have any data ?

but pbmining already stated earlier in this thread, quite categorically, that the rewards are based on fixed calculations. They even posted the actual calculation formula which they use. Posted way back in the spring.

Its good if someone can point to that link...
