Bitcoin Forum

Okay, so I don't know if this is the correct category to put this topic into, but I just found this website: https://royalminer.net/ (https://royalminer.net/), promising something very similar to the cloud mining: you have to download their software and you get "AT LEAST 0.0021BTC/hr". This site has just appeared and looks very sketchy to me: "Total Downloads" and "Mining Right Now" statistics are not changing, website is new, promises something you pretty much can't achieve with any other mining thingy (except cloud mining, which is also proved to be a scam). Where can I check this file to see if it's infected or not?

I'd say it most certainly is a scam-the only cpu miner I'm aware of is minergate

I've tried once to open this RoyalMiner thing - it doesn't even open. Sent the file to a few Antiviruses for research.

Sounds like 99,99% scam, i hope you opened the file on a sandbox mode and not on your comp directly... or else there is a chance you find empty wallets...

the classic ponzi layout xD stay away, my friend. way way away. this is trouble, more and more ppl are buying these scripts and making these scammy scams

Yeah . I actually see this layout every now and then .. And I noticed, all of the Top Mining Websites nowadays are now Scamming their members .. Because I think, Halving is now on process. So they are now securing their amount of BTC's left in their Wallets. So, If I were you, I will now stop depositing on ponzi websites because it is 75% I think that they will scam your money as soon as possible.

This site has a good certificate but we must be also wary. By looking at the site and their background we can say that it is a safe site and not a scam site. But if you look at their catchy phrase theres something in there.

CPU Mining Revolutionized.

0.0021 BTC profit per hour on ANY computer.

Download RoyalMiner now

Look at the profit 0.0021 btc per hour its sound so natural but it is big amount per hour considering that it says any computer which means regardless of how is your computer specs you can earn 0.0021 per hour. Even using cpu you can earn that amount per hour where in actual mining it is impossible to mine that amount in an hour. It promises a big return and a sentence that is not true to mining. In short it is a scam site or it is a site that will mine your bitcoins out of your wallet.

I have to say the website is pretty cute. I just looked at the website and noticed the claim of .0021 BTC/hr, and supposedly they have 23,000 miners running. So......

23000 miners  x .002 BTC/hour = 46 BTC/hour

24 hours x 46 BTC/hr = 1104 BTC/day

Today, the BTC network mines about 144 blocks/day, and each has 12.5 BTC/block  --> 1800 BTC/day.

So RoyalMiner is getting well over 50% of the BTC's mined in a day.

How likely does that sound to you? Did the website say .0021 BTC/hour a week ago? If so, then you know it's incorrect since the halving just happened over the weekend (i.e. July 9th).

To mine 0.0021 btc per hour you need 3 full rigs with r9 390x maybe 2 probrably 3 so any pc its just impossible.
And it takes 300+- hours to mine that then they will be gone and the only thing u have done is mine some time for them.


Dont use it the only one making profit in btc is them.

Beware of any kind of scam and pay attention every time you spend your money!

'If it's too good to be true it probably is.'

most likely a scam, the truth does not seem

Dont download something on your PC if you are not familiar with it, especially if the software offers something that is too good to be true.
Most mining software like this may contains such a malware to steal your passwords, docs, etc. So stay away and be safe.

offering free money and in return you have to download and install an unknown program? what could go wrong?

everything, pretty much. do you really need to ask this question?

That says it all. What these guys behind that website are trying to do is to infect as many possible bitcoin users pc as they can, then they can easy take your blockchain.info passwords as the majority of the noobs use that wallet and move away your coins from your wallet to theirs. They use to lure you with the impossible to be true 0.0021 btc/hour (0.05 btc per day) which anyone would be happy to mine this amount. This website is from some sort of a more advanced scammers as many unsuspecting newbies will download that file in order to try it and in this way getting into trouble.

The fact that you said their 'Total Downloads' and 'Mining Right Now' statistics isn't moving at all is already one proof that they are most probably scam. If a mining site is going to be using that kind of statistics on their site, then it should have at least a live update and would probably change at least once in every few minutes.

0.0021BTC/hr even with some crappy pc? That's one totally obvious scam proof.

Well, yes. You are right in your calculations. But they said they are not mining bitcoin at all. They are 'mining' altcoins and convert it in 'real time' to bitcoin.
They don't say which altcoin they are mining - or if it is multiple coins or just one.

I don't think this is real, but anyone here tested their software?

Honestly , I didn't hear about this site before , but you must be careful when you use any site which claims that it is cloud mining site , especially , if it has a softwares , it might include viruses or keyloggers or any other suspecious things , thus I don't recommend this site and will never make any deal with similar sites.

That is the first time I've heard that site I dont think if it exist or a new cloudmining site that will turn into scam, so check first and be careful of being tricked frkm that kind of sites. Better to stay away.

Seems new to me. If you want to invest in that cloudmining site better double check the site, the reviews, how many days running or the iwner of that company if that is a legit company but most probably not. And make sure that you will not regret if that is the decision you will choose becaise most of them will turn to scam.

That thing is new to me either and i dont heard for its existence you got to be careful for that thing since it needed to be download because it can have malware that can destroy your computer or will steal your balance in your cold wallet, so if your not really familiat with that better not to download it so you can avoid the consequences on that.

royalminer,  seems a new website. there stats says they mine 48btc per day.I have no idea how it can be possible.  And I am sure its a scam site.Its none other than a bullshit. just stay out of it. I found these information with some website and they are saying its 1000% scam so decision all yours. keep safe your money!  :(

I ran it to test it and than deleted the entire folder. it was showing 320 khs was mining btc at phs speeds and was only using 26% cpu. no way in hell....

I have reinstalled the operating system on my PC. Also, I've changed ALL my passwords to secure ones. RoyalMiner seems to be a scam, maybe even a virus. My money is safe right now, as I've added the secondary password to it. Stay away from it!

I am not aware of it, but i have to say when I have to download something I am out.
Virustotal is a very good site to check if the software has virusses or not...

48 BTC for a day?it's very big. but in my opinions, the cloud mining site with big offers it has a big chance that is a scam site. maybe that is a part of royal hash(verified scam site) :o because that is a new site.

I would advice everybody to take a close look at the site and then make a logic decision.
Cloud mining is not profitable. By investing their your money is at risk. So don't do it.

It's like eobot you have to download a program to mine so I thought with download that program it would get a virus to your computer. better stay away with this.

Alright guys, so I've been able to change my passwords just in time (the most important ones; I didn't care about the rest). As I've still let the same passwords on other websites, like on cloud mining ones where I didn't invest anything or I didn't have any $$ in, this guy behind RoyalMiner has basically tried to reset all my passwords. Too bad for him that I've already resetted my e-mail password before he got to complete his steps haha :D Here are the e-mails I've got from 3 different websites he tried to steal my $$ from:

1. HashNest

2. AdFly

3. MinerGate

It looks like this guy is from Ukraine. I never had any problems until now with anyone having my password, and RoyalMiner is the only app I've installed in the last... 2 months I think haha :D

Nice try, Ukrainian guy. But you ain't gonna scam me :D :D

That's right at this moment is the best way to using their logic to making a decision. I sure ourselves will realize about that and can think and can match with the logic. logic's very important if at anytime we will see about this problem again.

48btc a day 😱😱it's not promising it's obviously scam if they know how to have 48 btc a day I'm sure it will not sharing it to others and earn it with there own ,if I were you  I would not try it so later you would not repent.

first do some research before investing on any cloud mining site , As we have seen so many sites which were mentioned as legit are gone scam . It should not become like royal Scammer . Cloud mining riskier sites and earning takes long time.

It's most certainly a scam, don't download any files that you are unfamiliar with.

The very best thing to do for this situation is to avoid that since we dont know really whats inside in that if we download that mining site you said. And also the earnings are bit high enough and to good to be true for just a cloudmining thats why i can say its very shaddy to risk and down that thing, so take for that thing we must take out our couriousity so we dont gonna face some serious problem in the future.

Do you honestly have to ask this question ?
The site is not even up. What is the point of this ? You know it is a scam any idiot can see it from a mile away.
Miniumum 0.002btc an hour !! sure sure !! Ill buy cheap ass pcs and run them all over night and make like 0.25btc NOT !!!

100% SCAM

Lost my 100$, Don't ever invest with them.

next time you need to see the date when OP post this topic,you're too late if you're going to check whether website is up or down today because OP asking it about 16 days ago,so you're the one who have no point,and also HYIP won't last long so in 16 days period the website could have big possibilities to be turned down and it's a common thing

I would be very careful with cloud mining sites as almost all of them are scams. If they ask you to download any software I would not recommend that you download it as it could be a virus. Just remember most cloud mining sites are ponzi sites.

Yeah, I would also think that RoyalMIner will experience the scam quickly. Because they give you huge rewards each day, unless they get a pond can smooth over all plans to benefit from the promotion. I think this if persist long enough, then they will be looking for bigger profits from its expenditure for each person registering

Yes exactly ! You further prove my point. They can't keep a website up for 16 days then I wouldn't trust them to put their clothes on the right way around.

Because that is showing their credibility, I think about to keep their website for 16 days and they can't do that and definitely, can't trust wit them...

I don't think you are serious here about losing $100. No one is so desperate to fuel obvious scam.

P.S. If you guys check the site now - it is dead. Scam is over.

Again - if something is too good to be true - it is fake. It is even more likely when we are talking about any sort of crypto mining.
