Given the 51% situation I've been looking to sell out at cex and looking around for another decent mining site.

So far these look pretty good, well legit anyway -  cloud hashing use their own pool and are massive and group bitcoin asked them and they use Slush's pool but not many reviews

I'm a bit suspicious about PB currently cex is over $4 per GH/s I've always done badly when trading the GH/s so not too worried about loosing that.

Anyone got any other decent suggestions ?

Can't run hardware at my parents well anything worth running anyway.

hmmm... The cloud hosted hashing, if sold, would still be hashing with CEX.IO/GHASH.IO. Selling it would not solve or help this so called 51% attack issue. Now if you owned your own equipment, which you clearly indicated you don't, moving it to another pool would reduce GHASH.IO's pool speed. Selling your cloud hosted service does nothing to prevent this 51% attack everyone is worried about.

So with this being said, I could care less what you do, why don't you keep you cloud service there???  Undecided

I thought it would be better for Bitcoins decentralization if less people used their services?

petamine on havelock offers GH that are cheaper to maintain than cex GH.

They are based on Bitfury 3,5TH 0.785W/GH devices and charge 0.25$/kWh for electricity and hosting.
