Mintmine is doing a mining IEO. (https://chainbulletin.com/mining-the-new-way-ultra-rewards-without-hijacking-terminals-with-mintmine/) Mining, unlike some other crypto niche is extremely profitable.

Has anyone else done a mining IEO before? How did tokens perform?

how can you believe if this crypto niche is extremely profitable ?
because, this is new project buddy

Where did you get the idea that mining IEO is extremely profitable? Its is never been profitable.
Even not doing any ICO or IEO or sort of fundings,cloudmining is never been a profitable one.You can choose up to be pioneering
but considering on the current competitors I would say that its bit too late.

I have not done any mining IEO but ICO and I do not think there is difference between the two ICO and IEO, it is just the platform of raising fund that is different. None of the past mining ICO made money and most if not all are now a dead projects. I do not think mining is as profitable as most people make it to sound unless you have access to free mining gear and electricity

There have been the same niche before on ICOs so I can't see the difference of it from being launched through an IEO.
The difference would be that it's just an IEO and there will be an exchange that's going to list it after its sale.

the importance of IEO / ICO with the mining concept failed. My advice is not to invest your money with the IEO / ICO mining concept. as well as doing the IEO investment in binance only.

I've never been in IEO  mining and I never been trying to invest in mining especially for newly created coins as to know that it was not really profitable than of simply buying those know coins. And mining work isn't promising today, I don't know how it looks for you as profitable.

I have read that article and nothing different, that's a completely crap ico consider about that's only using the money to invest in the mining rig and that's a simple theory and this one looks very similar with envion scam project.
This is totally crap and it much better for anyone to invest their money directly to build their own mining rig rather than put the money in this crap project.
The creator doesn't even understand the condition of the mining these days.

I do not think there is much spectacular thing about it, it just like you still talking about mining naturally in ICO where we have some coins that are mineable and it depend on the technology of such coin to know if they will be mineable. IEO is just a concept, but to mine coins that comes from it still depends on the technology of the IEO coin which it will be stated if the coin is mineable or not.

I have never really mined any IEO coin before, and in fact I gave up on mining long time ago when it stopped becoming not profitable, especially during the bear market. I know that most projects that has been launched through Binance has been successful, but that is for the launch, I am not sure that many of them is being sustained after the launched pad to know if their mining will be profitable or not.

Right now no plans for it, because that was sad experience last year dealing with mining project like ICO. And this time knowing that there's another steps for an IEO, don't know yet how to trust any mining ideas or whatsover kind of related to mining. I was having bad days that time, so it needed time to think of a better decision.

I really don't have the experience on the investment in this type of way but it seems like good also because the profit percentage is increased in this situation so that I definitely like to invest in this for getting good profits only

Maybe alot of people will participate for the quick profits if you have good Tokenomics, dividend plans and strong partners. Asides that, no one really gives into mining platforms anymore as anyone can now easily set up a small mining rig to suit its cost plan

I think we should not invest in mining companies. Because in my country there have been many companies promoting mining projects and attracting many investors. After they earn enough money, they book air tickets and settle in another country.
For such companies, they are very easy to scam. If you have money, I think you should invest in QTUM's Proof of Stake, ETH, ... it will be safer.

I don't know how it becomes profitable, they would have to show us their expertise, I have seen some ICO planning to do mining but only to banish after getting funded, who are the people behind the project, how long they have been mining, and their machine and their location, unless people seen that they are transparent you cannot get believers because of their past experience.

It's not about the setting up but it's the bad experience that most of the investors had with these mining companies. They have been scattered and known as scams for the past years and that's why it's better to stay away from them.
There would be investors that will stick to them but that is one possible reason why many are starting to lose their trust to mining companies that will conduct IEOs.

Personally, I won't invest in mining based IEO. Because after a certain time, most of the mining coins fail badly. Though this year we got some good mining coin like Veil, SERO but I am not interested to invest in this one.

I know a few projects who focus into a mining company at bitcointalk.

Most of them always got the problem with the regulation And so much problem with this kind of project. Honestly, I will avoid a mining token project or similar like mining project.

there are many ICO or IEO projects about mining here, but to this day I have never heard of them again, whether the project is dead or not developing. but certainly I will not be interested in that and you can check the history of mining projects here.

Mining is not profitable anymore, and what is the point of investing in that kind of industry for now? unless the price surges up for at least %200. It is totally waste to invest all of our money into it. Let's see Genesis Mining for example. They have been here for years, and look at their investors.
almost all of their small investors were getting burned because of their contract giving them literally 0 value daily because of the fees and difficulty.

Another one ive heard about is pieta network that actually introduce a new algorithm called x20 which they claimed to be cool on GPUs and very profitable as well but i havent tried out any mining projects with IEO before,you can proceed if you find any prove that what the project is all about makes sense

Yes, it is profitable for the company doing the IEO. But not for investors in the long term, as most of them are scams. Look at Envion or Swiss Alps Mining for example. But it can be profitable at the start of trading with a little chance. Like others IEO.

I never tried joining in a mining company before. I looked at it but it has some bad reviews and they recommend me to stick on investing in bitcoin or good altcoins.

absolutely not.

it is simple, mining is either so profitable for the big farms or it is not. if it is profitable, then they wouldn't need to do a scam fund raising through a shitty token on some platform to make ends meet.
only those who can not make money and have no business plan have to do out of ordinary things such as begging for money through ICO/IEO. and none of them have ever been an actual business.

At this point, mining is really questionable, I mean it was not profitable way back last year so I don't know how can it be profitable in 2019. And there was a lot of questionable mining services before and even majority of experience traders and investors blatantly calling them a scam.

And that is the main reason people are going to snub IEO that involved mining. I'm not saying everyone, but I guessing everyone would look the other way and go to other IEO that has the potential to give them a huge profit in the end.

so far, Most mining projects fail, whether because bearish market or fraud. all ended badly, if you want to invest in a project, avoid the mining project. you better join the IEO that takes place on the Binance or OKEx exchanges it is more profitable.

The mining days are gone and they are not profitable these days,so I am a No No on this one.i would rather invest in unique ICO projects  than mining companies
And upon looking posts above it’s clear that most are negatives than positive outlook on this one
Absolutely!!binace is one good option to profit now,their IEO is gaining investors so I think this is a best alternative than mining

to invest I did not do it. but to participate in the prize campaign and keep the assets now I still do. because by holding coins from the bounty I can get ETH every day from mining on their website. to invest in a mining project, I haven't done it.

I currently invest in IEO and don't see what the company's concept is. the most important thing is to have a good and successful future. even if there is a mining company in IEO that is good and potentially I will not think long and will definitely invest there

even large exchanges will not want to hold an IEO in their exchange if the proposed project does not have good potential, because the exchange also does not want to disappoint the investors who will participate. their good reputation can be damaged because of that

I would not invest in anything like mining, unless I'm the one operating it or our group.
There are a lot of online mining investments in the past that turns out scam and I was one of the victims so that makes me get rid of this kind of investment.

The perception I have always had about these mining is that it is too expensive to established, and the ones I tried getting involved with one time was that of siacoin when they were still being able to mine it with pc but mining it with pc is just too annoying because it generates a very slow and small hash rate because of the low system capacity, so you will have no choice than to buy the mining machine which is expensive.

I have heard of some third party mining companies too with their series if offers, but I am quite a little bit skeptical in joining them because I don’t want to believe all those offers they are giving that sounds too good to be true, because in these industry, one really has to be very careful In some of the activities we do because of scam projects.

The people who start the project will always claim that it is the best product out there and it will solve all the issues in the present market and if you go by their words without verifying what is going on, you will end up spending some mining power and electricity and you will not get any benefit rather than some shit coins in your wallet which are useless. Investing in mining companies and making  a profit is a myth unless you have other resources to get the maximum benefit from the company you are investing.

Have to consider that mining isn't promising by now and most cases more people lose their money and so the confident may lessen already.
The scam issues happen before are sticking into the mind of mining investors and create massive declining in numbers who put risk with this.
Of course, I'll never be risking my money for nothing and mining may not be worthy at this time.

investing in an IEO mining company might be one of the good things, I think if there might be an IEO mining company doing promotions and seeing the concept is very good maybe I would invest there.

where they want to organize the IEO?
If they can bring it into a top exchange like Binance, Kucoin, Okex, Huobi, or Bitmax maybe I can consider participating their IEO...
Btw, I just aim for high ROI. No matter what project will be provided on these exchanges, I believe they can bring investor profit, even if only x2..  ;D

Mining investment as per review was costly, I had no plans yet to have this kind of thing these days. What I knew about mining was done through personal miner and not for an IEO program. As a matter of fact those developers handling projects using the idea they've got from mining platform isn't legit and mostly scam.

IEO or ICO, everything will back to their developers. If they can really do best for their project, any type of project will be good and the coins/tokens will have big value. I think as long it is profitable, investor will jump on it. Especially with IEO now really help investor to pick and make a decision in which project they want to invest. But back at first that i said, it is all depends on the developer itself.

I once tried investing in a mining project but most of the 10% projects were running, and of most projects everything was unclear

It's not profitable. The most profitable mining company is Bitmain. Because of they sell using ASICs by packed it in the new body. This is profitable. But to buy ASIC with the goal to lease it is the biggest joke. Human, take a calculator and count own profit and company profit. Can it to be profitable?

i never trusting in investing my money to online mining service, i'm preferable to manage my money by myself, even i got loss i'll take all the responsibility from my money and i can learn from the mistakes and investing money to other services like mining, lending or other service

It's just a money game scheme where there is no cash flow in online or offline mining because the electricity costs themselves are also quite large. the profit we get ourselves is not large but the promised profit is quite large and this is certainly not reasonable

Extremely profitable is an exaggeration. And no amount of exaggeration like that could convince the members of this forum who have been here for a long time.

Mintmine is not the first of its kind, and it is certainly not the first one who took this endeavor. Do you know what happened to all those projects in the same category as Mintmine? They all failed. So if it is indeed extremely profitable, it should not even be made through an IEO. Take a look at the history of AX1 or of Envion and you will know the history of this kind of attempt in the market.

I would never invest in some mining IEO. I have seen the past ICOs, most of them like Gigawatt said they would provide a ample hash to their investors but they shut their operations after just 2 months saying we are facing legal regulations and we are sorting all as soon as possible.

Now it has been 2 years after Gigawatt shut down and none of the investors are paid.
Here you can read more about them: https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-mining-ico-giga-watt-sued-securities-fraud/

The initial small pump also makes it easier to pump the later price and gradually build a stronger community of traders.
The downside of this approach is that too little IEO pump will entice fewer IEO players.
Several exchanges are using the game IEO to play coin game floor is also difficult to note because no one plays IEO anymore, the demand for holding coin floor is also less.
But perhaps IEO is more upgraded than ICO in terms of privacy level for investors. The sammers can operate on this exchange.

I have never made any investment in mining projects through IEO. This is actually quite risky. It has a number of factors, such as a business that does not guarantee financial statements, so I cannot know how much profit a quarter makes. Besides, when implementing IEO, the team also does not guarantee the use of profits to increase the price of the token.
That's why I don't invest in such projects. because mining is very important in terms of profit, if I don't get a share of it, I will never invest.

It's a waste of money investing in such projects. Because of the money we invest in it, we can also buy some GPUs to mine coins. we only need to spend more money to buy a package to mine bitcoin. everything will be very easy because this is a very easy job and we only need capital.
There are many tutorials on youtube and google that can help us mine coins.

ieo mining company ? if its an ieo then you are only going to invest on thier product but you arent going to do the actual mining ? is that  what im expecting ? if yes then sure why not .

  i will invest on it but only if the ieo is covered by a reputable exchange site   .  nothing really wrong on investing on an ieo , i mean its less risky than investing directly on a mining/cloud mining website

There are many ico like this before and not even one has been successful or investors get high return from what they invest. Nothing new so what will be the reason if they offer only same offer happen before.

Mining and trading is a well profitable investment. But mining company is little hard to trust so I like to invest GPU mining because it will make good profit for me and trading also good earning on quickly. I think you don't have experience in mining industry so your ideas is good for you, But sometimes your projects also make losses But mining will stop the loss at anytime.

Aside project investment which is a good way to go also, I would have really loved to also mine, but the challenge has been with the cost associated to mining, mining has the class of people that can go for it and that is actually the rich people, and as they say that the rich keeps becoming richer and the poor getting poorer, but in my own case, even if I cannot mine because of the cost, there are other available opportunities that one can take like what you said.

Investing in project is also one way to make money, that is when you invest in solid and quality projects, and also trading too, after I have made investment, I go fully into trading too and all these ones has made me the same with someone mining also. We both get profit and we both almost make the same profit.

That's BS,
You can ask anyone and what will better to buy the token created by a company that runs its mining(It's real or not) or buy mining rig and get mining rig in your hand. I believe if the majority of people will say to buy your mining rig rather than investing in a high-risk project like that. Even it's IEO and that doesn't give a guarantee.

I've promoted one I can't recall the name, but there are a lot of deception and the whitepaper is questionable, I don't invest on this kind of IEO I consider this kind of scheme or program as Ponzi scheme, because they can be manipulated.
Cloud mining has a bad reputation, I don't think it's not going to work because there are related ICO in the past that did not work.

I think as long the project really can show their mining tools, i think not bad to try. Because if not, people usually judge if it is cloud mining which only get money like ponzi scheme. But before do that, there are some project that based on mining i think in bitcointalk. You can see the project and how was the token for now. With that, you can see people attracted to it or not.

Extremely profitable? Are you sure?

As far as i know crypto mining is on its way out and is now only for large companies that have the capital to do it in scale. Small time mining operations will be hard-pressed and being pushed out because they can't compete with these huge companies that have almost free electricity.

Absolutely not. I've had enough experience with cloud mining companies trying to tokenise their securities and pitching it as some form of revelation that will forever revolutionise crypto mining that eventually all turned into scams or are completely unprofitable.

I suggest you take a look at Ice Rock Mining, which was one of the hottest of them all back in the day.

An IEO doesn't make the token itself profitable somehow. It is common knowledge that cloud mining and the maintenance fees severely undermine the profitability of investors, yet when they are packaged and touted as tokens it somehow makes it acceptable. I don't get human psyche sometimes.

I don't think that investment is good. because such businesses are often very concerned about their own profits. If they do not commit to giving us the balance sheets, they will easily take advantage of the profits and do not need to develop the token.
so investing in these types of businesses will often get a zero return.

I don't think it is extremely profitable with the Mining because previously we have seen many mining companies launched their ICO, which they get into scam very quickly and I think it is a very bad idea to invest in mining companies. Mainly who will share a higher percentage will get into scam very quickly. So think twice before investing any mining company.

Indeed, Mining farm who can manage to scale the market and have a good numbers of mining tools that can compete with this surviving market, though there's still chance for new project but it's a risk to anyone to invest in and participate, mining business if can't show any real proof that they've got the right equipments and they are located from the place where electricity is competitive to run business., otherwise, it will be another promises like ponzi type of system.

I would never invest money into anything that I cannot see its business model. I invest in casinos and online gambling, crowdfund bankrolls or tokens that pay dividends, like CSNO, but never online mining because we cannot see it, and no mining company that offered investment has ever been able or willing to share transparently!

how can you say it's profitable, and also I have never followed investment in mining tools or anything like that.
because with current market conditions and also the value of BTC is not too high I don't think it will provide much profit, instead it might be a loss if only using minimal equipment.

From the many project offers that have mining concepts, I think few are successful, the conclusion of the many outstanding mining projects is that the founder or developer wants to do cryptocurrency mining but does not have enough funds so they try to collect funds from investors with the ico method, it is better for me build my own mining instead of having to give my funds to other people.

even projects with the mining concept are not many that are successful and get enough investors for their development. except mining projects with multi-functional platforms. some products have mining functions and also other features such as gambling and crypto trading on the same platform. if only on one mining feature I think it will be difficult to attract investors.

Mining companies that would like to do IEO must already have a good background and record before they can be trust by investors. It is profitable if the company can did it effectively than we can do it on our own. Though, they might be hard to get investors as a new company it will be hard for them to get investors as for me I might invest in gold mining companies that this like of mining. We will see if it will succeed depends on the process and promotion they will do.

we have already seen several mining projects but we don't see them getting large funding. even though they claim to have been running and have active mining in the real world and are now trying to switch to virtual mining. maybe the faster one gets funding from investors from the past until now is the gambling project. do you agree with me?

IEO is, in my view, more profitable than ICOs because the token gets listed in the exchange faster, but the niche of mining isn't really profitable actually. Unless that you have really cheap electricity, you can't make big money by mining, thats the case for individuals and for companies as well.

Honestly, i have taken a look at this and i am not interested. Why? Because it would need to be handled drastically different from mining icos before this.
I don't think that there has been even one mining ico that hasn't been a scam or failed right on the start (educate me if i am wrong on this).
I have wasted my time and lost some serious money while waiting any of the mining projects pan out.
I would like just ONE of them to be a legit project to restore the trust because i have no faith at all left on mining icos, or ieos.
Btw i know it's stupid to flag all mining icos as same, but as i haven't seen any of them work for some reason, i am disappointed and my thought on the subject are preconceived.

i'd invest in something like that if it was a government level program.. not something people i dont know run

There are several factor why bulk operation is way cheaper than a single one.  They can have deals to provider, both equipment, service and electricity with huge discount.  Another thing is, with huge fund they can move to some place where mining is profitable or they can build renewable power sources for their mining industry.  A single average miner cannot do such. 

But in my experience, I have seen several company that offers mining as their service failed miserably.  So if ever a project like mining company ever to perform an IEO, I would stay away from it.

There was a previous mining project that I know did it's ico back then but was unable to be successful, lots people had faith in that project but unfortunately things didn't go as expected, with what I see regarding that project and the situation of mining presently, I won't invest in mining project, rather put money in something else.

There is no way that there would be a government based mining coin ICO. Mining is becoming more and more profitable and I am looking for projects that are launching some kind of a mining product. Definitely sounds interesting to me.

Profitable for what? had you ever tried that to mine crypto? it's not profitable anymore, especially for small rigs users. So many small miners have retired from miners.
You can now try to ask some miners about that and there was a lot of miners have sold their rig to buy the coin directly from the market.
This kind of ico is a scam ico and look at envion or terawatt. They have ended with exit scam

Investing in mining is not a very profitable business. But it makes more sense to invest in mining equipment than invest in IEO. Of course the main issue is to make money, you need to calculate it well. I stopped mining a long time ago.

There are a lot of projects that are scams, and cloud mining is one of the leaders of this fraud. These companies offer to invest in mining at clearly inflated interest, without possessing physical mining capabilities. Having existed for a month or two, they completely disappear with the money of those investors. Real cloud mining does not bring a fabulous income. I would stay away from these projects and never invest in an ICO connected with them.

You need to be very careful when investing. Are you really investing in mining or a bloated interest? There is a possibility of fraud. To understand this, it makes sense to do research on the forum. Watch out if they promise huge imaginary profits.

Right now, I don't invest my money in cloud mining, but I have a good experience with them. I already got a nice reward from them a few years ago and it still running until now. But I don't know how good they are now because I don't invest with them again, and I receive the rewards only. You don't have to invest your money in the cloud mining service if you think that it will not give you profit.

I call bullshit on this.

What service were you with? If it generated a profit, then it would have likely been a ponzi scheme first of all and you may have simply been one of the lucky few first investors that had your investment returned to set up the latter stages of the exit scam.

And even assuming all the best, including the fact that you really generated a profit and the cloud mining company was actually mining, it would have probably came in the very short term where BTC or the altcoin you were mining was rallying hard. But in that case, investing in such tokens would still not be worth it since you would have definitely made more from simply buying the coin that rallied itself.

Mining has been pupolar for a year but i dont think it is really profitable. ICO with a project of mining i think there are many project has been doing this before let me search for that project.

mining businesses not available in the market now many people holding the asic miners and graphic cards are not being used nowadays. I have invested around 5k USD in mining businesses and I lost the complete funds from it.

What did you do to lose all that money? Did you buy mining equipment, if you did you can sell it now, or you were a complete fool and you invested so much money in some cloud mining? If you did the second thing, then I don't feel for you, I can bet you learned your lesson. I learned a lesson from investing in cloud mining, but not even close to that amount you lost, mine was 50 dollars, believe it or not, that was 0.3 BTC in that time.

I have never tried an investment in IEO mining. Whether to produce a good profit or not?
Maybe if it gives profit and their project is long I'm interested.

Cloud mining is profitable to those years of 2016 and 2017 but now? Its never been profitable even if you do have your own mining machines it would give out the same outcome.
Dont need for more Mining company would offer the same even they would switch up to IEO method because it will surely still fail up.I wont put up a single cent for this one.
There were lots of upcoming IEO which would be worthy to join and risk up some few dollars than on this one.Follow anytime on their launchpad when it comes to IEOs
https://launchpad.binance.com/

Have my own rig  way back on year 2016 - 2018 and I'm very happy at first since the profit is quitely good and can abpe to sustain my need but for this year it's more difficult and my rig is totally useless that's why I manage to sell it off on much cheaper price and for this it has a connection with existing cloud minings since for sure they are not profitable also and they survive to run since they are doing the ponzi scheme system which is totally bad.

I will stay away from cloud mining also with IEO who promise mining.
Mining is not profitable in this year, price really drop, that is hard to maintenance income with outcome.
At 2013-2016 i still profit from cloud mining, but more than that year i think only small profit from mining process or maybe mining ponzi scheme appear again..

I love investing in Mining companies because Mining is one of the promising projects and many have been successful, right now I am investing in BatMine.

at a glance I don't see this project going to be successful, they must hold a campaign and more details so that later members in this forum can give an assessment to this project.

At first glance I thought you were referring to mining as in digging for minerals and other commodities.

In short, no I would not invest in mining of any sort. All the power and statistics are consolidated in the hands of a few people behind the project and it is extremely untrustworthy to get in to unless there is 100% transparency. Which mining projects are there out there and how many had ICOs/IEOs/STOs ?

To the best of my knowledge mining is not as profitable as it used to be before.  The price of the mining equipments has really gone high not to talk of the electricity bill which is another expenses worthy of note. By the time you calculate all this expenses from the profit generated you will discover that mining is not that profitable.  But concerning this new project if they can come with  new concept in terms of the equipment they use and how to cut down electricity expenses using alternative form of energy so as to gain more profit then i might consider investing in it

Would I be correct in saying the market is saturated and there is just too much competition out there?

People are using remote rigs to mine per hourly rates after all so maybe this is not the best business to invest in.

I dont think you understand mining if you just think it's extremely profitable.  You can lose a ton of money mining as prices of bitcoin goes up.  If bitcoin goes up 10% but mining difficulty has gone up 50% (in this case we will pretend you have the same amount of gear and its performing the same throughout), you will be on the losing side.  You would be making more money as price of bitcoin increases by just buying bitcoin and holding it.  Mining profits are more volatile than bitcoin itself.  Now on top of that you would have to trust this company to be fair and honest about their earnings....what I'm getting at is you will be way better off just buying bitcoin gradually

The thread was started in July 2019 and though the user last logged in during August 2019 he never made another post since starting this in July 2019

Time for me to unwatch this thread

Tried it and it will gonna take you years before you get your ROI back and i think pretty much alot of people learned about it in the past because there were lots of these cloud mining scheme, wherein you buy a contract and they will mine bitcoin for you for a duration of time. It didn't end well because lots of people losing their initial investment because contract expired or the company closed before completing it.

- better trade your money atleast you have the chance to get a bigger profit than investing in these mining companies.

I will not invest in a platform that has the concept of establishing a cryptocurrency mining company because in my opinion when you invest there the benefits you get will not be forever, different if you memining yourself then you can get its own benefits and you can control it forever.

actually not all bad when we invest but indeed because of the many problematic projects that make the trust of people to be down on a project that is really making trust like you decrease. so prefer other instruments to take advantage

Good idea, it has been proven that many mining companies are scams, I lost a lot of money in 2016 and never invested again, with the conditions now it takes more than 2 years for RoI.

Yes, more mining hosting based ico's got launched during the year 2016-2017. By that time it too gained big revenue, and few was successful at the beginning. The same didn't continue for a longer time period. One such ICO that was more popular by that time was icerock mining. Going through the scam accusations can find a lot about it ICE ROCK MINING - SCAM (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3139632.0)

If we think about Mining itself many people feel the disadvantages. then there are projects that have a concept and want to run in that field, we should have understood that this is not possible to be able to run and not invest in the project. but there are still many people who continue to invest there

Agree that indeed we should be able to see according to the facts that exist today but think about the benefits of whether it is logical to look at current market conditions and compare with the actual Minning conditions that have not run the business then why should we invest

I have no experience with mining IEO projects because i don’t seen any legitimacy projects IEO going to big and reliable exchanges. How can i believe such a mining project. But very recently i analysis regarding Pi Network project, still token sell running i think. You will get details here https://www.publish0x.com/pi-network/introducing-pi-network-xvwdmp it will be list very soon. It’s ICO price is 0.15$ but i hope price will be hits 1$ according to the total supply and project liquidity.              

i heard mining now is not profitable anymore, and if the main source income just from mining
i think its not good my friend
and maybe i will double think before invest in the IEO from thus project buddy

I will participate in ieo When investing, with the associated reputation risks, cryptocurrency exchanges are strongly encouraged to appraise potential projects. Therefore, traditional investors do not need to think much if they trust when participating in the exchange.
As for the exchanges, they have the ability to access new markets, exclusive of that IEO project depending on their negotiating capabilities. Therefore, it can be said that this will be the best advantage of IEO.
IEO participants only need to create an account on the trading platform where IEO is conducted.
Through this method, the project that takes advantage of the exchange's current user data and the exchange will have to conduct project research before proceeding with IEO, which will help eliminate phishing projects. giving users less effort to research and projects with more trust from investors.

Yeah, mining could be profitable if you mined back in the day and hold it or if you are mining now yourself at least, however paying someone else to mine on your behalf and get the money for it has never been profitable, never will be.

If a person has enough money to actually mine and profit, they won't share it with you, if that person wants your money to get the machines and start mining, you could do it yourself as well and profit even more getting the middle men out of the way.

There is no scenario where investing into a mining company will ever be more profitable than actually doing it yourself, you are also putting risk of getting scammed in between as well and there is no reason to risk such a thing when you can do it yourself without having to trust anyone else.

Of course, I understand that at the time the topic was created, the question was interesting, but now the IEO is actually dead. Everyone understands that this is a short-term hype and it has already passed. As for mining, it is very risky to make any investments in it three months before halving.

Decentralization would be the key point I agree to that. I mean if you can create a coin/token that basically has some sort of miners profits directly going towards the coin holders, that would be amazing. Think about it, the amount of voltage will be used is decided already, it is based on mh/w thing where even if the hash rates go up eventually the voltage will go up as well which means costs will go up as well, that way the rest of the profits could automatically distributed to people who hold the coins as dividends.

I am not a developer so I can't say if that is possible or not, but that is kinda sounds like the only way. Otherwise why would we trust our money with a miner who will "maybe" pay us the profits without any proof? Maybe they won't pay it? Look at Ripple, they are a financial company that makes millions of dollars of profit yet the XRP owners can't get dividends from it, that type won't work for me.

It's actually a good idea to run an IEO.Mining is still a very profitable activity, so I am sure that there will be investors for such an IEO.

IEO has only really debuted to the community in recent months and now, it still has a stable life but with a simple operation mechanism and lack of interesting points, it has really lost a lot of charisma from the community but it is not dead. Speaking of mining, it's an area that people rarely mention when it seems too difficult with the device conditions, and for a company that has an idea of combining mining with IEO, it probably won't get too many good votes when both of these are already exhausted and weakened.

Besides all this, this topic is far from new. I remember a lot of ICOs that were held on the topic of mining. And judging by the number of players in this market (mining hotels, cloud mining, mining contracts in a couple of clicks from your computer, etc.), this is a highly competitive sphere and there is no reason to expect big profits (and therefore investor interest) here.

Yes, there really is huge competition in terms of mining projects and most of the people including investors have lost faith from mining projects like cloud mining, genesis mining, etc because there were a number of such scam projects into the markets which initially gave some profits but at the last eat all of the profits and ran away without leaving any footprints.

That is why most of the investors have stopped showing interest towards mining project but yet a genuine mining project with some profitable strategy might again attract those investors and might even hit the markets if it really gets that potential. But, a huge development would be needed behind such project.

I remember that back in the day when icos were really popular there were many icos related to mining and as far as I can remember none of those coins were successful and it is not difficult to understand why, once the developers of those coins sold them there was nothing to do except to wait and hope the mining operation was profitable.

But as we know the price of bitcoin from time to time goes below the mining costs and only the biggest miners can endure to keep mining for a loss for a long period of time, so when the bear market of 2018 appeared that wiped out most of those coins during the next months.

I would personally surely invest into a mining company startup only if they have some benefits which would minimize the mining costs and maximize the profits. I would actually love investing into such companies because profits I would get from such companies would usually be good enough but also we should never forget the number of scam mining projects in the markets.

In terms of mining project, there have been a number of scam ICOs who offered huge benefits like renewable source energy for mining, cheaper hashrates, etc but ended up being a scam which also teaches us a lesson to never to be greedy and look for higher profits with lower security.

It seems to me, or is there a big contradiction in these two points?  ;)
In addition, if we assume that an innovative company will enter the market that will have a great advantage over other players, then the interest in it will be so great that you will not be able to invest in it because of great competition. Well, or the investment conditions will be such that you do not even want to do this.
