Please just to warn people a new cloud mining company listed on Crypto Compare EKEN Cloud Mining.

SHA-256 for 1/10th of the price, lifetime if you buy 100th/s and maintenance free for life. That alone was a dead giveway.

Fake Address it is only area code and area, only company in the world mining bitcoin with Scrypt, constant 24 Hour "specials" claims hardware 2 years old and they got "in cheap" bwahaha.

ANYWAY, please please please do not buy it's just another brand spanking new cloud mining scam this time called EKEN.

PS: Cryptocompare comments the positive comments, 80% of people all seem to have registered on 8/03/2018, a whoppping 8 days after the website was registered what a luck lol.
Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

They only use Facebook for online marketing, which only has few posts, with only one picture of a S9, with caption ''S9 arrived !!! Soon we will update plans which they are outside of stocks !!!''. While they state on Cryptocompare that they bought mining equipment 2 years ago when is was cheap. hahahaha, what a joke.

very fishy, the price is too good to be true and they doesnt show their mining farm even with photos or videos. 1 TH/S just for $30 lol.

Oh anyway i found this https://www.facebook.com/eken.io/posts/2377715798922669 they will live stream their mining data center.  Roll Eyes

It's a huge scam...

100TH/s (and more) with lifetime no maintenance?
All positive cryptocompare comments registered on 08/03/2018?
Website registered like few days before that?
24 Hour Sale been running since 08/03/2018, prices going up tomorrow since then?
Mining equipment bought 2 years ago when it was cheap, really 1/10th of the price? Shows "Antminer S9" on Facebook hahaha

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck... it's a duck. It's a ponzi scam through and through.

If you can generate energy for free like that and have that phenomenal amount of hashpower then why would you sell it at 1/10th of market rate? Ponzi....

Many times people have conversation about cloud mining that this method is not worth it or not profitable because mostly or all cloud mining will not exist for long period of time and it would turn to be scam. I advise to all of you that we do not need to tolerate cloud mining because they continue creates hype due to many people are bitten their offer and their target is the greedy people who wants to earn huge income in few days.

Is this the scam site? (https://eken.io/)?

I did look at the information and here's what I found:

Quote
Registrant   WhoisGuard Protected
Registrant Org   WhoisGuard, Inc.

Dates   16 days old
Created on 2018-02-28
Expires on 2019-02-28
Updated on 2018-03-01

http://whois.domaintools.com/eken.io

Another red flag. Newly created domain, protected by WhoisGuard. Only contact so far is just an email as per website. So you are right, 99.99% that is going to scam investors and run off with their money. I really would advise anyone to stay at cloud mining sites, as most of them are not really legit.

There's only two option you need to think first and balance every situation for good. Option one is to continue to trust EKEN cloud mining that you used to invest in your current time, or to trust those bitcoin user in this thread that telling about that cloud mining is a scam and pull out all your asset inside that mentioned project. The scenario is, don't let your emotion drive you about the scam, maybe in the future those bitcoiner is the true scammer that leads you in a wrong road ( mislead ) .

+ Their pricing is just bull shit and only there to lure newbie like OP have stated.
+ 10% referral commission also suggest that they are trying to pull an exit scam with as many investment as possible.
+ They are not mining anything, video on their homepage is a youtube video created on 2013 and they haven't posted any picture of their mining rigs.
+ They are not registered anywhere.
+ They are claiming partnership with bitcoin.com, blockchain, coinbase etc which can't be true as they will never make any partnership with cloud mining ponzi like this one.

All suggest they can shut down anytime soon...

***AVOID - SCAM - AVOID - SCAM ***

LOlz. S9 arrived! I like it when these companies try to be very formal but turn out to be very casual when their portfolio has to be published over the public records. I don't know why they are creating new cloud mining websites day by day even though people are not interested in it. Most of us already know that any cloud mining that claims high amounts of profits is already a big scammer and we should not trust them.

Its all about the newbie investors who hit such websites directly. They start reading about it and use their calculator to see their profits which is nothing but hoax in the air. They fall for it and they invest heavily into it out of the fantasy . Thats quick money maker for the scammers who sits behind the project. Come on guys knock it off as it is complete scam.

I think this topic must be moved to Scam Accusaions. I don't know why people still invest in Cloud mining while they know almost cloud mining at the moment is nothing but ponzi scheme Smiley. Isn't it better to invest your money in holding or trading than cloud mining?

Scam Accusations board is only for users in this forum who have been scamming user from this forum.

A topic like this is not related to any scam accusation. So people that posting like this is just giving a warning to the users here to prevent them from joining or being scammed on that website/mining/person/ponzi etc.

I hope you get my point.  Wink

Well you know, people are lazy and cloud mining services like this one are going for that. Who wouldn't like to just dump their money, and watch the BTC pile up.  Grin

As soon as you see that they're SHA-256 solely based, that's a red flag in your face right from the get go.

Need some spare btc for a new PC that can at least run Adobe Dreamweaver.

Not actually and its still considerable on placing this topic into that board.If you do try out to check Scam accusations you would able to see similar threads like this when it comes to complaints about cloud mining ponzi schemes.Going back into the topic. Those cheap prices is already a big red flag for me even knowing that they do have no maintenance which is really a total bullshit.

I can't believe a Sr. member on a forum with so many warnings about cloud mining ponzi scams has fallen for this. You should get degraded to jr. member! Tongue

Get it into your heads people! 90% of cloud mining companies are pure scams that will take your money and run. The other 10% will barely make you any money, just quit it.

Rank doesn't say anything about someone's knowledge, especially not with bought accounts. I see on a daily basis how legendary members just randomly post the most embarrassing gibberish you can think of.

The days where a legendary member rank stood for quality and knowledge are gone years and years ago already. Cloud mining is such a poison to this community, that I prefer to see it be gone instantly.

Random scammers shouldn't be able to operate a site selling mostly nonexistent shares/contracts. For that reason alone I am glad that Google banned crypto related ads all combined without exception.

BSV is not the real Bcash. Bcash is the real Bcash.

You know that you can withdraw immediately, right?
Better do it sooner than later, who knows how long this ponzi will stay afloat

very fishy, the price is too good to be true and they doesnt show their mining farm even with photos or videos. 1 TH/S just for $30 lol.

Oh anyway i found this https://www.facebook.com/eken.io/posts/2377715798922669 they will live stream their mining data center.  Roll Eyes
Probably a camera pointed at monitor or fake videos Roll Eyes
Gotta give them applause for trying though.

It is sad to see so many people on Facebook believing their words, thinking that this will get them rich or something.
I mean $300 for 10TH/s with 2 years Contract ?
Even antminer S9 priced at $1k only managed to mine at 13TH/s, what kind of black magic hardware are they using Roll Eyes

Yeah lol, when has a legit cloud mining service generated profit. After all this years people still fall for them. There are only two types of cloud mining services, the legit zero profit or the scam zero profit.
