With the largest cloud mining genesis struggling. It's better to stay away from any sites that offer to buy hardware and mine cryptocoins for you. They are mostly Ponzis.

100% fake. The fastest BTC miner out there is 16 Th/s and it's the Antminer S9. These miners claim to blow all competition out of the water and mine across many different algos. It's too good to be true and it isn't true.

..and it ist not possible that it mines ethhash, x11 sha256 and S-crypt at the same time. This will be breaking news if someone made those asics  Shocked
But its a scary good site for a fake. So my fear is that many people loose money

10000% Fake and don't fall on this one. What the heck on those TeraHashes. 150 th/s? WTF!  If you know the latest antminer s9 you will directly able to identify that this is just a pure bullshit scam. They do put efforts on making their site believable and I'm sure there would really be newbies would easily fall on this one if they aren't knowledgeable enough.Good for you that you did able to ask this kind of thing.

That person who do asked would really be a complete newbie when it comes to mining. Regarding on list on scam sites we do have a proper board on that https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 you can see various sites which do have scam accusations but this list or board don't have all the accurate list this is why we should always seek up feedbacks on the net if we didn't able to see on what we are seeking for.

Hmmm - a miner that can mine ETH (GPU), Scrypt and SHA256 (only 2 ASIC that were ever created to do both, and those were NOT efficient SHA256 miners by the time they showed up), and let's not forget the crazy-high hashrates.

 Also, that H4U is a standard 4u rackmount case, I've SEEN that specific case design before.

 Then there is the capper - a claim that they're manufacturing on a 10nm process when INTEL (the leader at that node) hasn't brought it into production yet.

 I smell - DEFINITE SCAM.


 UFOMiners is a scam site that's already been brought up a few times.

ufominers.com is just like the same on the site that you have given first. They do offer miners with crazy numbers of terahashes which is out of this world.Just keep it on mind that the average or realistic hash rate on latest asic miners is on 13-16 th/s and things goes beyond that are just SCAM. Good decision better to stick on reputable companies like Bitmain and its really a wise thing to do.

Every "Mining" site offering similar options like this one is obviously a scam, they didn't even put some effort into building the website, looks like it was made in the 90's, pretty slow, plenty grammatical errors and so on. Every site that offers mining services or products by paying them enormous amounts in Bitcoin, not even Credit card or some other more "trusted" payment service, is or ends up in a scam.

Two of the FAQ made me laugh from your posts. One which is saying can i deposit money into your office and second can i visit your office. For both of them they have given unexpected answer that is "No" in short.

That is what makes it more fake and we can not trust them if they are not able to disclose their office location. I mean it literally yells that they dont have any physical presence and they are ready to scam us really.

If im providing a mining service then i will have to have a big premises and office to perform the mining operations. From whatever information you have provided here it looks fake to me. Thanks for sharing that makes it easy to understand upcoming scam sites.

"customer only has to plug-ins and mine"
If it wasnt for that one grammatical error I probably wouldve felk for it. Oh yes, I dont have any bitcoins either.

They went too far ... 90 TH/s at only 1200W? Vs an Antminer about 13 TH/s at 1275W.
They should have made it somewhat believable at about 40 TH/s and 1400W.

Pretty impressed with the site though.

Maybe someone should create a real scamcoin, and distribute as rewards for people who could actively dig out stupid scammers Tongue
