I think cloud mining right now its not worth it but i heard that hashflare are paying i just read few days ago here in our forum. but i did not know if they are paying real the comments by others has no negative trust so i think they are still paying as of now.
Hashflare s paying without issues for over a year, I have been using them and have reached ROI so far. The best contract is definitely scrypt cause Litecoin mining difficulty does not change that fast compared to BTC. They do offer Ether and Dash contracts as well but I prefer scrypt. Let me know if you need more info.
As you say, they are paying.
The fly in the ointment is that the sister company, Hashcoins, appears to indulge in fuckery like advertizing vaporware and refusing to return money for unfilled hardware orders, rather "compensating" customers with unordered and unwanted cloud mining contracts.
Why Potapenko does this is anyone's guess, but it hardly inspires confidence in either company.
And just to clarify the usage of the term "ROI" in the cloud mining world.
If you "100% ROI" in a year, it sounds great, but all it means that you have been given back your original lump sum payment in bits over the course of a year and now are back where you started.
If you paid originally in
BTC then any price rise during that year is probably lost to you.
So, in cloud mining ROI means "return
of investment".
In the real world, ROI means "return
on investment".
Say you buy a stock or share for $100 and get back $10 dividend yearly then your ROI is 10%, but your original $100 is still there (subject to market fluctuations.)
In cloud mining, unless your supplier supports trading in hash power and thereby gives resale value to your contract, then your original $100 becomes zero immediately. It is not an investment, it is a cost.
