Agree with many posts here. Let me share my experience with HashOcean.
Started investing 5 months ago - small amount at first. Seemed very legit. We were getting ready to lose one of our incomes in the household, so I thought "what a great way to replace it" and invested about $15,000. It kept paying and I kept accumulating the profits and re-investing. Added another $5,000. And kept reinvesting some profits. Just last week, I put a plan together - the site had been paying so well and so consistently, but I knew I needed to get my money out and DEFINITELY had to get it out before the BTC halving. The plan had all my money out by July 10 plus a little to fund a vacation we are taking in mid-July. I was making .95 BTC per day (about $550 US) and feeling really good.

So good, that I talked to my wife about investing some of her money. My son just turned 15 and he had seen the BTC awarded each day. We just purchased a car for him (half came from BTC) and he saw this as a way to invest so he could pay the car off before he turned 16. He had saved up $2,000 and was ready to put $1,500 of it into Hash Ocean. My daughter also saw what was going on and was thinking it was a good investment to help her pay for college and provide a bit of spending money. Was ready to invest $1,500 also. I had a friend in AZ who I have been talking to, also ready to invest about $10,000. We never expected to get Mitt Romney rich, but if paid debt off, that was certainly a great relief.

Then this morning I woke up to check the price of bitcoin and ensure that my deposit of 2.4 BTC was processed by Hash Ocean. I looked at my email only to find one from Hash Ocean titled "your refund has been processed." WHAT??? MY REFUND??? I never requested one! As of last night when I went to bed, my has power was almost 130,000. Almost panicked, I logged into Hash Ocean to find that my hashing power was now 15, which was the sign up bonus amount. 15!!! From 130,000 just 6 hours prior!! Then I checked my email again. Yahoo sent a message to my recovery account that said my email request to disable the account had been processed. WHAT? Huh

I am $20,000 into this and not only did I lose 20 grand, but now my email is disabled?? Bullshit. Can't be real. But it is.

So I decided to see if I could track it. Logged back onto HashOcean, went to transactions. two new transactions showed up - one for a "refund Fee" of 43.62 bitcoin and another one for 23.916 for payout, listing the wallet address. I looked at my wallet, and the address they paid was not in my list of addresses nor was it the same one that they had been paying for 5 months. SOMEONE HAD CHANGED MY WALLET ADDRESS with no notification or record of thee change. Even worse, when I tried to change it to a legit address, it says that an email had been sent to change the address, but two hours later the email still has not arrived. So I went to Blockchaininfo to look at the transaction. The coins sent from HashOcean went to an address in Germany, then another address in Germany and landed in a wallet with 800 coins.

So now I am out $20,000. Hash Ocean is not responding to any support emails (I was friendly and respectful, like they care). But thankfully none of the rest of my family or friends invested. SOOOOOOOO, if you are curious on whether this is a scam or not, I just received a $20,000 education on it first hand. Follow the advice of others on this site .... Stay away. If you simply cannot resist, than invest only an amount that you will say "oh well, whatever" when it disappears. The oldest addage in the world is the best one to follow .... If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

My deeper concern is that my computer, email and other online information may have been compromised because of Hash Ocean, and who knows how far or how fast that will propagate.

Your situation is doubly sad. By the fact that you lost such a large amount, but even more by the fact that knowing all the warnings risked investment in Ponzi scheme.

In one of the posts is list of transactions - Can you provide Bitcoin address from which you were doing this purchase?
Can you provide Bitcoin addresses for which it was sent transaction fee and refund?

You "invested" 20,000 in all since July last year. How much did you recoup in the end? Is there any kind of 2Factor authentication?

You are confusing two different posts. There was another person here that started investing last July and lost $20k. I started investing in Feb, 2016. The $20,000 is the cash out of pocket that I am out. To get to the payout level I was took nearly $35k investment. I took out maybe $2,500 total - and most of that was to buy a car. The rest was "reinvested" in HashOcean to build up the daily payout. The initial goal was to get 1 btc per day and then collect until my cash out of pocket was received. And then a 50/50 split between cash out and reinvest. There is 2 Factor authentication. Magically, it was shut off and the payout address changed. Definitely an inside job and definitely at the core of their business.

Someone else asked for proof ... I still have access to the account and have screenshots of the investment. Unfortunately, there is not a way to embed a picture in these posts that I can find. I do not have a web serer that can be generally accessed to provide a link. This editor will not allow me to paste an image directly.

Another post talked about missing emails ... no, I did not. As a matter of fact, their support team forwarded me an email chain - which is blatantly fake - that supposedly shows a back and forth over a 12 hour period. It is funny because neither the sent email nor the support response emails every hit my providers servers or my mailbox. No, this was definitely a planned scam. And if Hash Ocean is not behind it, then they are significantly compromised from a security standpoint.

To those with small amounts, it appears that they go after the bigger investors to scam, so you may receive payouts for some time. As has been noted earlier, it WILL, and is destined to by design, collapse. They do not mine anything and have no underlying business value operation. So enjoy receiving pennies or a dollar every day ... it is entertaining and that small amount will not hurt anyone. Just please, do not bet the farm like I did. It is painful.

Cheers.

sounds alot like bullshit here, cool story bro. yes u can post picture/proof.
