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/, 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... |

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. |

Where can I check this file to see if it's infected or not? 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.

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.

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.
