[ANN] HaoBTC, mining dividend paid out hourly

[monbux]

Even though the site is (roughly) translated into English, any emails sent by the site are in Chinese.  It would be nice to have an option to get English language emails.

Yup, I've been getting those as well.  Just wondering, will the interest rate decrease as the mining difficulty increases?  Since I don't see much of a change right now.

Interest rate actually just went up, I believe, which is the opposite of what you're asking. I'd like to know what the interest rate is pinned to.

Hey Eric, could you please address this?  What is affecting the change of the interest rates offered for the normal banking?

There are a few variables, chief of them all being how badly we need money. If we need to order a bunch of new miners or plan to build a new mine but short of cash, we may jack up the rate. Conversely, if we decide we have more money than we can possibly invest and make a nice return, then we may drop it. We pretty much operate like a bank with maximization of profit being our ultimate goal.

It still says "Annual interest 6%" on the website (at least for me), and the rates on Financing look the same as always.  Do I have to have money in the "Wallet" in order to know the interest rate changed?

I have money in mine and it also still says 6%.  Maybe the guy who posted didn't notice when they lowered from 8% a few weeks ago.

I will announce it on this thread once the interest rate changes. And Twitter as well.

Any information about the affiliate program yet? Or at least some benefit to those that help advertise your services?

Wu Gang told me that the referral program will eventually resume so it is just a matter of when. Right now our development team is pretty busy with developing a mobile app. But I will let you know once I have a better idea regarding the time.

You are ranked according to the BTC value of your account balance.
The more you have in your interest-bearing accounts, including Wallet and Finance, the higher you will be ranked.  
High value users don't get more favorable interest rates or other privileges except occasional gifts - for example, recently we planned to send a box of moon cakes, a traditional Chinese snack, to each of those whose balances having exceeded 50 BTC, but then we realized that quite a few are overseas users and shipping and passing customs can be troublesome, so eventually we are considering giving each of them CNY 100 worth of BTC instead.

Giving rewards like this is awesome, but do you have an estimate of about how much ranks are worth per month/year, or is it really just a completely random thing?

It has been pretty random so far.

Is there a way to disable the verification code by email? I cannot log in to the site. I am not receiving any email, as it seems my email may be not working at the moment.
Why not use Google Authenticator, which I have?

A suggestion: One way to check HaoBTC Kangding farm's real-time hashrate:
BTCKan is a fairly popular Chinese BTC portal probably mostly known for its popular BTC price charting and news aggregation app. One feature that is often overlooked is that the site also allows users to check the real-time hashrate of some large miners including us.
Here is how:
1. Go to: http://btckan.com/miner
2. Click "Hash rate publicity"

3.
This is what you will get: The total hashrate, daily mining dividends - 87.6173 as of the time of writing and whatnot

Note that the hashrate fluctuate slightly with time and sometimes we do have to turn off the switch for maintenance - don't panic when the number is zero.

I finally received the email, but it would be good if I can disable email verification -- The email can sometimes be down. I enabled Google Authenticator, and there is no excuse not to implement boolean code that prefers Google Authenticator when it is enabled.

Eobot is the other website that uses email verification...

We don't sell mining contracts. But we do offer people a chance to invest with us and get a chunk of our mining profit.

Our CTO thinks that there are security risks inherent in the way you proposed. So we are not considering it for now.
