without getting into a breakdown of the math....
if you want a reasonable estimate of overall return...
multiply your weekly yeild by 10.
this is as close an  approximate as you can do considering difficulty varies unpredictably.
most of that return will be had during the first 26 weeks, some small but significant additional within the next 26 weeks.
as to the yield during years 2-5,... dont worry about it,..  less than ten cents worth of btc.
if that doesnt look good compared to your outlay, its not a good investment.
you may gain or loose 20% over a year.


Additionally you might note that a few people here are assuming that pb is going to spend $6000 on electricity to mine 500 satoshi during years 2-5.
You may reasonably assume not.

want your weekly {at present} yield?... try https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty  .......calculator upper right corner. its accurate if you type in your ghz correctly.


expect .02BTC from your 5 ghz

FWIW i have just invested some money in PBMining.

I brought 5GH for around £5 (high roller).  According to their stats that gives around 0.00135259 btc per week pay out.  Extrapolate that for 5 years and you get 0.3516734 btc which equals £93.5 GBP at todays exchange rate.  That is a lot of ifs (whether btc or PBMining will be here in 5 years time and what the exchange rate would be), but a nice return if it panned out.  And it is more than I am getting from my Antminer U2.

They seem to be currently sold out of Hashing which may explain why i had to give them a nudge to get my order processed.  I looked at CloudHashing but they want $300 up front for 30 GHs.

I will report back on how things go.

what do you mean out of hashing power? it still looks like contracts are for sale

Maybe you should learn a bit more about BTC before "investing". You will *never* get ,35 BTC. The rate you are mining constantly decreases due to the ever increasing difficulty level. If you do not know what I am talking about I suggest you google "bitcoin difficulty"

True, difficulty goes up but so does hashing power.  If you are mining now with the same rig you had 2 years ago, it would be very hard.  I see this as a variation on pooling where people who don't want the bother of actually mining, get someone to do it for them.  The more people, the more power.

Anyway, £5 is just under 2 cups of coffee.  No great loss if they go bust tomorrow.  Wink

If you get 0.3 btc from 5gh I think we are all going to be millionaires.

I would guess more like 0.03btc in 5 years if you're lucky.

+ it would easily be double that in cooling and a facility able to host 375TH/s for 5 years that's a pretty serious set up you'd need your own sub station running that much power. It's most likely just a case of how long it goes on for now. If you have broke even already it's lucky but it's horrible to think it's probably other peoples money

They setup their ponzi in Canada, so the cooling costs for the imaginary hardware are only during a short summer.

Over 5 years that's $0.1008*(12*5)=$6

You don't see a problem with that? The cost of electricity alone is 3x what they bring in from each customer.

I've been using this site for 2 months now (today exactly even, 15th), and from what I can tell I've gotten more than half of my investment back by now (like 63% I think)... so, sure, even if the value decreases, I'm fine with that. I'm guessing, if this runs for a few more months (or like with this speed, 5-8 weeks), I would have my initial investment back, and then it's only cool to get some for the rest of the time, whatever little that may be... Either way, I didn't invest much so if they disappeared tomorrow, I'm ok with what I've gotten back already. Smiley

Seems, they pay from this: 1Payday1sm5wGqtatKscfXnxARZ2B2MF3z

"Payday" .. I found that funny...

I agree. That's the only reason I like CEX. Dumping FHM contracts.

All I know is I'm getting payed every Sunday. No issues so far.
I have antminers and I have a little GH/s @ pbmining for the hell of it.
It could be a scam or Ponzi, but these people saying it over and over have no more info than anyone else.

We know it could be a scam.. ok


The thing about PBmining is the contract , today your ghz are worth 0.0025 for example after a year it worth less .

I can't say if they are really mining or not, but, I'm with them for 9 weeks straight and the payments are as advertised, as well as the referral program.

No problem so far in my case.

if you assume that anyone runs antiquated hardware...  which is insane

They already spent the income buying the hardware. How are they going to fund buying new hardware? New customers? Bingo! Ponzi.

I'm impressed people still think there's hardware.

There has been no indication whatsoever they're actually mining.
Their entire setup is based around hiding where the coins come from.
From the way they allocate "mining rewards" (formula based instead of based on actual blocks mined) to the way they pay out (sending coins through a mixer first).

All they have (and really need for this setup to work) is a website that keeps track of fake hashrates and what to pay out.
They pay out to appear legitimate, and the amount they pay out is only a really small fraction of what a costumer paid to get in.
Then they'll just keep upping their hashrate and sucker new "customers" into their scam, and only pay them fractions of the money they gave em as well.

They're running a ponzi that is sustainable even without a very high rate of new customers.
Which is why they'll keep this scam up for as long as they can.

Hell, even if they intended to be legitimate, actually mining is simply less profitable.
Why take a small profit margin, when you can take a large margin and still be able to pay out all your customers?
