Difficulty is impossible to predict.  Either outcome is possible. 

Out of curiosity, what hardware do you guys use? What devices, what manufacturers?
Can we have photographic proof?

This is true and I agree with you but we also see past difficulty increase and we can gauge the future value. Please do not misunderstand me, I love PBMining and I think the service it provides is great. I am just wondering whether people buy GHS hoping that difficulty will be lower than 18% (which would allow break even after 230 days) or if I am just missing something. The average difficulty increase from June 2013 has been 25.14%

This question has been answered thousands of times in this thread. PBMining does not disclose this information and we are not here to question this. I am just talking about difficulty increase and strategies of our fellow piggies.

Why? U think this is ponzi ? That was my thought to. Since we can't see what specific blocks "we" mined or anything.

here look this is my rig, do you believe me?

[btcminer84]

botolo86, you got it. 25.xx% is the difficulty increase every 2 weeks.
Refer to my ROI calculation in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418183.msg6101802#msg6101802

Hah, good point maybe with PBmining written at it Hahah ?

Good answer!  
Guys it's clear that PBMining is similar to a consortium. You give them BTC and they buy ASIC of any kind they want at any price they want. They guarantee your fixed return, according to the usual profitability calculators and that's what you get. This is far from being a ponzi.

Anyhow, as jamieb81 has already said, this question has been asked thousands of times before. Just go back and read the messages.

[btcminer84]

here look this is my rig, do you believe me? ...

No.

[MICRO]

But it would be perfect setup for a ponzi. They doing so small and slow ROI , and in the mean while people buying more and more. They don't even need to bother buying ASIC . Just saying. I don't think they are actually doing ponzi .

[btcminer84]

It is cheaper for PBMining to buy BTC for you and calculate the current BTC-Payout/1GHs per week for you instead of buying Asic crap. Plus: They don't have any kind of power energy or any other costs. This is the trick. Refer to my calculation, to see the truth about PBMining: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418183.msg6101802#msg6101802

ok, this is getting very interesting now

if i get it right, the only way to make it even or mybe have some profit is to get as many referrals as you can.

There is no other way. Am i right?

[btcminer84]

The more BTC you buy, the more profit you get. If you buy GH/s via PBMining (or even stupider CEX) you will just lose a part of your money. There is no ROI possible. ROI? You will never reach it. That's it.

This is a lost of EUR 4,00€ per 10 GH/s contract !!!

Or in BTC: You will lose 0,0012228 BTC per GH/s contract!

[locopao]

ok, but there is one factor that can reverse anything:

the BTC price itself

What will happen if you don't buy any more GH and price will rise up to let's say $1000 or more?

(i am not talking about the price goes down to $1  )

This does not work because we are talking about two options:

• should I buy X BTC today and keep them or
• should I buy X BTC today and invest them in GHS?

If you choose the second option and you end up with less BTC than option one, you are loosing money and USD/BTC does not have any effect.

[Steiny217]

Well, everyone jump on the hater wagon now..........  If you don't like it or don't believe it'll return, don't buy gh/s, it's pretty simple!  Always the best option is to buy BTC flat out and hold onto it but that's no where near as fun as mining is.  I've made really good money mining and believe in PBmining!

[btcminer84]

I think, PBMining is doing Mt.Gox, if the price increase so rapidly. Otherwise they increase the price per GH/s to "fix this issue"  
Am sure, PBMining is just Fake Mining, even if they pay out constantly. But think of it: You will never get a ROI.

Your answer is legitimate and I don't want to create a flame reply. I am very interested in PBMining, I already have 53 GHS with them (you can check on the global stats) and I was thinking about buying more GHS. The first purchase was a impulse purchase, I did not think about it a lot. Now I wanted to invest a little bit more and I was doing some calculations and I wanted to get the feedback of other piggies who have invested a lot.

My question was: am I correct when I say that with the current PBMining price you will never ROI or am I missing something? In the first case, why people has massively invested in PBMining? Bad calculations or anything else?

Thanks!

[btcminer84]

If PBMining really is having real hardware, why they reduce the pricing per GH/s? This is impossible (power and other costs). They just keep your BTC and your ROI is a LOST of actually 0,0012228 BTC per GH/s.

Botolo86, my comment wasn't directed at you.  I'm gonna shoot ya a pm and tell you my opinions.  will 53GH/s ever pay off maybe maybe not no one knows.  buying and holding is the best option but it's boring. lol
