Hello, i want to invest my BTC in cloud mining. so, can you help me to find the best sites to start?
Please with your review  :)
Except cex, zeushash, & zenminer.
I will be your referral..

At this point cloud mining is pretty dismal in terms of returns.  With decreasing BTC and providers trying to keep a profit at this time most cloud mining operations you can buy in low however it is uncertain if they will pull out of low returns anytime soon.

The best I heard so far is LTCGear (bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=759743.0) decent ROI and as far as I am hearing the few that people are still pretty optimistic about.   Give it some time to buy shares though (always sold out lol - can check https://ltcgearcalc.com/ they have a good automated checker if things are in stock)

No referral needed just helping a fellow miner out =P lol

I have been testing multiple cloud mining services, to decide where I want to put major money.

So far I have looked at Zenminer, Zeushash, genesis-mining, ltcgear, and ihash-mining,

In my opinion the most professional service price goes to Zenminer - their interface is beautiful and easy to use. The prices are a little high but they are an innovative company - I say you put some money into them.

Other than service I also looked at payouts and ROI, and for that your best bet is iHash-Mining. They are a new company but they offer the best prices on the market due to their opening sale. Since they are new, I just bought their mining contract. I will see how that goes. Other than ihash-mining. LtcGear pays out well too; however they are always sold out and there site is hard to use.

All in all it is up to you where you put your money. If I were you I would try Zenminer and ihash-mining first.

I hope this helps.

I have accounts with GAW, Genesis Mining, and LTC Gear.

If you have a decent amount of money to invest (at least $1000) you should go to LTC Gear: http://ltcgear.com?apage=868 (http://ltcgear.com?apage=868) use the coupon code: "anniversary1yr" for 49% off + you will get 8% off when you pay with Bitcoin. As far as ROI it is the best deal running. Buy the anniversary shares that are featured on the main page. Keep in mind that you will need to keep checking back for them to be in stock.

I would not go jumping in to GAW. The ZenPool is not what it used to be and management is using everyone as an experiment for their new project. Genesis wouldn't be bad to jump the next time they lower their prices again but right now ROI seems pretty far away.

If your able to hardware mining is still lower priced, you have to have space and decent priced electricity.

Cloud mining is coming down in price though.  Some I admit have good prices.

It bears mentioning that cloud mining, like mining hardware, is usually priced far higher than the total amount of bitcoins that could reasonably be expected to be generated from the venture.

That's not saying there's no money to be made - indeed, for the big players there are mountains of cash to be grabbed. But for retail buyers, who are purchasing miners for far more than their cost of components or cloud contracts for the same, it's not really a winning proposition anymore.

Why should it be?

Say ABC Cloud Mining has a data center and equipment running in it that can generate 25 BTC per day, why would they rent it out for anything less than that?

I know it's been said before, but the OP of this thread may not have seen it, so Im saying it again...

I tried most of the service, so far I like LTCGear..buy it today and get paid this friday - still don't know how he is doing it but ROI is just great.  Extra hash rate will add next Friday(last time it was 1.35x)..

LTCgear is definetly the best Scrypt Cloud Mining service that is currently available  :D

No their the wrost dont even try to buy there.
Im having a hard enough time getting my orders in as it is no need for more customers , come back next year after i get my fill.

Why? No problem with them so far..

Stand aside for new customers to purchase their shares  :D You can't have them all yourself! hehe

Erik not only newcomers have that problem, a lot of old customers like us now having the same problem with purchasing shares too. It's mad money @ ltcgear to be made now TBH.

Pbmining but they just raised thier price

I am saying that old customers should stop being so greedy and let some new people get shares aswell  ;) hehe

I prefer hashnest. Because its cheapest per hash right now..

?? Cheapest ??
It's at least 3 times pricier than another service.

HashNest:
0.001125BTC/GHS (at current BTC price of $340) = $0.3825/GHS
$0.00318/GHS/Day maintenance fees.

GAW:
$0.695/GHS
$0.002/GHS/Day fees

Genesis (Diamond):
$0.77/GHS
No fees, but you need to layout a bunch of cash up front

Certainly not 3x more expensive... not sure where AizenSou got that 3x number.

Point to my signature. or Click here (http://pbmining.com)

Oh boys. I don't have a data for SHA256 cloud mining service.
I only have for scrypt: ltcgear.com, 5$ per 1mh/s with 6.5 weeks ROI. More details look at my signature or pm me if you're interested.

Avoid LtcGear. They are -854 sales on their most expensive mining contracts for 160mh/s. They went from $9,000 product to $1,800 then with the code that makes them $900. Also, if you figure 900 x 854, they have around $800,000 customer's money with no show of service. Granted it looks waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy very very good get the $$$ ROI so nice super quick you can't lose omg free money. Yeah right, believe that one too many times and you might find yourself on the street   ::)

You might want to check out GAW. Most of their clients, who invested 2-3 months ago have reached ROI. They are probably the fastest growing company in the mining industry.

Yes it might look scary if you don't know how it works. The cart system at ltcgear takes all the orders but only a small percentage of these orders are actually paid, so the number is not accurate.

I would go with Hashie.co  - you can even get a free miner to try it all out!

Thanks!  :)

Am i correctin thinking this is only 160Gh, even with 49% off it seems very expensive..... :-\

I agree. I have visited the LTCgear website and it looks very sktechy to me. They have a "base" price that is several times above what other cloud mining services offer but the prices are heavily discounted to be below what you would pay at other mining sites.

Not only that but all of a sudden there are many users that have randomly popped up out of no where all wearing their affiliate link on their signature.

I would say they are almost certainly going to be a scam

I could say the same with your signature ;).
In fact I saw far more people with GAW signature than ltcgear signature. Care to explain ?

I gathered the following data from another post...

I sold my miner on Hashie.co (https://hashie.co/t?p=10&v=f57) lol...which was kind of funny , but hey maybe these are collectibles don't know. So far, everything is working out nicely , and bough myself a new shiny miner with all the affiliates I've signed up!  ;D

CEX and PB aren't that profitable already. you guys might check out in my sig. they're giving a free trial of 200 kh/s for 7days.

I dropped CEX.Io to go with hashprofit.com this is my daily payout for 1200. Earnings with your hashrate 0.00840 BTC per day
or 2.73 USD per day thats at todays price.Total cost to buy $580

If your looking for cloud mining deals check out Bitcoinaliens they usually tell you best places and info on a daily basis

Hashprofit looks scammy. You need to pay before getting out, and the address in their page is a ghost address.

Oh boy, 580$ for 2.73$ per day, so you might be break even in 212 days if you're lucky.
How about this deal: you give me 500$ and I give you 5$ back everyday ?

Bitcoin Cloud Service pays out daily and I have ROI after being with them for 3 months

You guys should try out Cloud Mining Website (http://www.cloudmining.website/?r=2130).

p.s. link contains my referral.

At this point no one can argue against LTC Gear getting your returns back the quickest.

A lot of people are worried that it could be a ponzi scheme, or a scam but they have been paying out every Friday for months now. Until that stops it's tough to argue against.

The comparison list in your signature neither mention cloudmining.website nor cloudhashing.com.

It's my first time hearing about either of these services. I might try putting a little into each service to check it out. cloudmining.website has almost no information about them on their site though and I haven't seen many people that use the service.

Exactly. To reduce your risk you could spread your investment.

I would not suggest ihash since its a total scam. This should clarify https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=837023.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=837023.0)

Holding your BTC and waiting for the value to go back up is the "smartest" option, but if wanna play and have some risk/fun, mining is still good.  :P

After a month of testing each, I am running with these in addition to my existing home based hardware farm:

Genesis-Mining.com (has a Dogecoin mining option!) |
Just lowered some daily fees last week. One of the nicest UI's I have seen even if the NET revenue is no better/worse than others lately. I am eager to see how their X11 offering pans out in the near future.

BitcoinCloudServices.com |
My #1 pick for SHA-256 right now. Most consistent and stable so far (for my 13,200GH/s worth) and no daily fees since it is a 5 year contract.

LTCGear.com |
Very nice payouts, but still not sure for how long. Communication sux, but the service works and that is what matters most I guess.

Hashie.co |
Small newer service, but no issues thus far and they are on par with what others charge/pay.

PBMining.com |
As they say, "feed your greed". Still on the fence about them long term, but so far so good. They use the same 5 year contract/no daily fee process as BCCS.


GAW/ZenMiner is a nightmare and unless you bow before the CEO every time he talks, you will be flamed, banned, and even threatened. Their drama just instant worth it and I believe they are a glorified Ponzi scheme (yes, you can quote me on that).

There is a forum thread of cloudmining.website => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=843417.0

Could not find any forum thread of cloudhashing.com.

I dont have any feedback for either of the two.

I use LTCgear, looking forward to receiving my second multiplication on Wednesday! Can't fault this cloud mining service glad I stumbled across IT when I did.

+1 great post Scott. Thanks for your details review.

I would dispute this. To mitigate risk of investing in a scam cloud mining company you should do your due dilligance and use common sense when trying to make a conclusion as to if the company you are investing in is a scam.

The fact that LTCgear is offering the 'best' returns is a sign that people should remember the saying that if something sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

Also the fact that the only people who are defending LTCgear are wearing their affiliate link (as well as the fact that no one with a LTC gear affiliate signature are showing any signs of skepticism)

From my POV GAW is not better and even looks more like than a scam to me.
Btw another fact that the one who's defending GAW and bashing LTCgear wears the same signature from GAW. Pointless to discuss. Stop.

This thread is proof about doing your own research. People act like there's only 1 good mining service, and therefore the other services suck, or must be a scam.

I'm currently invested in 5 different mining services, as well as 3 other investment vehicles. I am going to be checking out 3 or 4 more mining services later this week. I personally have my favorites and I have the majority of investments in those.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you need to decide which service suits your investment personality best.

Bullseye!
Every time I see someone recomend a cloud mining site the post is offensive towards other services. People should start boycotting those with most vicious promoters until they learn to behave.

People are hating because they are haters. I like some cloud mining service obviously better than others but I don't bm any of the bad ones I don't like unless I have a PROOF they are scammy. Amd majority of people seems to be hating without reason... That is not good.

The best one i've seen so far is genesis-mining (https://www.genesis-mining.com (https://www.genesis-mining.com)) They gave me this code for a 2,5% discount (6PGTI7), if you use this code to buy hashpower it's like you were my refer.
There is also this 2 sites that you can try them for free:

hashie gives you a free miner (Just so you know, there is some conditions to get the profit from this free miner)
My referral link: https://hashie.co/t?p=8057&v=08e  (https://hashie.co/t?p=8057&v=08e)
link without refer: https://hashie.co (https://hashie.co)

hashprofit gives you 200kh/s for 1 one week (same applies here, conditions)
My referral link: https://hashprofit.com/en/registration/?hp=81098 (https://hashprofit.com/en/registration/?hp=81098)
link without refer: https://hashprofit.com/en/ (https://hashprofit.com/en/)

Hope I helped you and good luck!

are there any cloudmining services that allow to use your own pool? i think its very important because at least u know there is some mining going on :)

Some give you a longer or shorter list of pools depending on the site, but AFAIK all have limits.

I recently came across this website
http://www.cloudminingreviews.com/
You might check this out, but keep in mind that im in no way related to this website,

Right now the best cloud mining service is AMHASH1 on havelock. The platform is secure, the mining is real and there is proof and it is backed by ASICMINER. Also the maintenance fees are the cheapest around and dividends are paid out daily. ALso if you want out you can always sell them and the price is very reasonable.

ASIC is the worst thing that was ever invented

You know man, there is free cheese only in a mousetrap

seems this one have a good service
i'll find out
