Greetings,
Just a question that floated on my mind tonight, but I was wondering who here uses Cex.io? I have been with the cloud hash mining site for about a few months. I treat mining for bitcoins kind of like a hobby, or a game. My every few weeks to see how much more bitcoins I can earn and generate. I start out with those .333 ghz usb block erupter. I bought 5 of them for about 15 bucks brand new in early January 2014. I set my computer on to mine for bitcoin until I reached around 0.01 btc. Then I combine that amount another 0.03 btc gain form using faucets.
I stop using the block erupter, because of the very low rate of income(wasn't hoping for hundreds of dollars) and mostly, because they ran very hot, and my computer eats ups a lot of juice as well,I think people should be mining for bitcoin, and it needs to be mined in order for it to stay alive, but I personally thing Cex.io was a good choice for me to start mining because of the fact I don't pay a huge electric bill nor do I risk burning down my house form a failed erupter. I switch over to cloud hashing so that I could mine 24/7 without paying for a lot of money. The rate during the time that I join was about 0.4 btc of 1 ghs. It went up as high as 0.5 btc per ghs, then crashed down to where it is now 0.007 btc per ghs. I started out with 1.5 ghs, got tried of trying to gain more ghs through pumps and dumps, so then I just left it alone. For weeks I kept going around the hamster wheel with those bitcoin faucets, and came back to the site. I can't remember how much btc that I traded in for, but now I'm at a 9.6 ghz.
Also, there were some crazy last minute investing in what CEX had called bidding on the futures, but now they have stop using the feature. Maybe because the future prices of btc for ghs never rose more than what was being traded. So a lot of people would buy futures ghs for a cheap price, and gain more ghs at end of every month.
I think if anyone wants to use this service they should either buy some bitcoins and send it over to their btc address in cex, or use faucets.
Well sorry if this post seems to be a bit rushed, but that's all I can recall about my experiences in using CEX.io
The problem is, you pay electricity and maintenance charges on cex.io (its not free)
