You are just asking members here about this site and why open it on scam accusations board when no accusations being opened? I guess this fairly fit to reputation board.

I never use this free mining sites to earn bitcoins and I read already some reviews that they pay but I heard just this time about this site. The question is it really worth it? And the thing that's red flagged in me is it says on the site that it is completely free but base on what you say here is it requires for a fee and I do guess that's a different story and I presume it's just a way to extract money that using their service/s.

[...]

Anyone can identify cloud mining with high payout thresholds as a scam. By the time your returns gets equal to the investment you make or reaches threshold, they would already be gone. BTW you ever wondered asking them how much hash power they are providing at level 2 ? Or asked for mining equipments proof?

It's classical scam and you won't receive anything. You will just waste your resources and time.
They will instead earn from you through your ad views until one day you give up after getting frustrated with no payout. I visited the site with my adblocker on and look what I found

RED FLAGS

1. Very high minimum payment limit.
0.35 BTC payout is pretty so high with BTC currently at 7900, That's over 2765 USD for just logging in and pressing the mine button on your computer. This is unrealistic and stupid  ;D



2. Fake Payout transactions hashes
On the home page of the site, Transaction IDs are being displayed almost every 2 to 3 seconds that they apparently claim to their payouts but the reality is that TXIDS  are just being pulled from the bitcoin blockchain general live transactions.
The range of the transactions the pull out from https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/ is between 0.35 to 0.7 BTC
Code:
{var e=t.value.sent_value;"tx"==t.type&&0.35<=e&&e<=.70&&($("table")

Honestly which website would make payments of over 0.35BTC every 2 to 3 seconds. Wouldn't people stop mining and instead resort to clicking mine buttons on their laptops and smartphones instead of wasting power with ASICs?  ;D



3. Fake Gauges
We you click on start mining the gauges start to move back and forth to give an impression of your CPU resource and power usage but it's all a lie. In fact the computer's fans won't even rotate at much high rates to show high CPU usage. Even a mobile phone won't heat up at all if you are using it to "mine"

The gauge move movements are just preset parameters

Ps am not a coder but I tried to do the best I could.
Just stay away from the site... It's a total waste of time, internet data and SCAM

Do you really want to wait until you get more than 0.35BTC and then you want to withdraw without problems using mining through an unknown site? :D :D
This site does not provide any guarantees so you waste your time in vain.

No malware found on the website, but I'm sure its got to be a scam of some sort, trying to sucker in the greedy and the gullible.

Most notably convincing was the website's listed physical address, which is:

1800 Mission Street
San Francisco, CA  94103

This is home to a historical building known as The Armory.

It was most recently used by porno filmers kink.com and is currently unoccupied:

Here is the address nutildah is talking about.

Not unless you believe that this Fort Knox looking building is storing mining equipment, this place is not what you think it is. Just by doing a little bit of research on the things they are giving like their office address you would personally know whether or not they are a scam. People looking for a way to identify if its a scam or not doesn't even need to go as far as posting the concern as the answers are already provided in their website from their payment schemes and their fake addresses you'll already have a gut feel that something is off compared to what other legit cloudmining sites are offering.

If a site needs to advertise themselves to the extent of PTC sites to gain completely unorganic traffic, then that itself should be enough to make you steer clear of them. They know that their target audience will be looking for easy and quick ways to make money, and they prey on them.

I don't even think all the analysis about the address of the company is necessary to determine that it's a scam for sure.

These types of scams are nothing new, in fact they've been around for ages now. The payout stream is undoubtedly fake, and the minimum withdrawal as you mention will pretty much eliminate all chance of you actually ever getting funds out of the site. Use your common sense. If you see any similar sites in the future, avoid.
