PB Mining -- 5 year mining contracts!

[ChekaZ]

Iam really satisfied with PBmining, bought 200gh.

I had a few issues in the beginning which were cleared by email with the admin.

So I have recommended it to some friends which also bought some hashes, keep on the great work!

I see PB Mining has created a couple of haters that wants the same customers PB has.
You guys keep trying to endorse bullshit companies that over charge people with no possibility
of ROI if there is an ROI. These guys are so jealous because their business is going down the
tube and they don't know what to do. It's like this from what I see PB is the best choice to
take next to buying your own miners. If you don't like PB don't come on this thread trolling.
And lets say PB does get audited and goes down what makes you think I will invest in the
crappy service that over charges and takes 5 to 6 months to get at least your money back.
For me things been going good since March and I'm able to invest into other opportunities'
for mining crypto currencies. In a ponzi scheme everyone doesn't see the money and if
PB is a ponzi that means bitcoin is a ponzi. Some people will always be retarded. Even
if PB goes down today I made the money I invested back already.

 

There is always a chance they turn out to be a Ponzi. As time goes by it is less and less likely but not impossible.

thanks for the responses! ...I was lining up some BTC for a bit more GH so I was a bit upset that there aren't any contracts for sale at the moment. Sounds like this wont be an issue for very long

Early on, they oversold. I wasn't a customer then, but it caused them a lot of grief. Since then they have been pretty careful. Usually, they have more available in a day or two. Longest I saw it go was, I think, four days. Don't hold me to that, I'm going off of an aging brain's memory

I don't know what equipment they run, but judging by their turnaround time, I'd guess a combination of ants and dragons. If they smart, they are also buying Spondoolies.

Y'all should too <see link below> </end shameless plug>


Anyway, I remain very happy with pbmining. Like all of you who bought, I made ROI within a few hours. Despite rumours to the contrary. It took me a bit longer to break even. Yes, it's a pet peeve, but this is a very technical community. Use the term you mean. ROI is return ON investment, not return OF investment. ROI can be positive or negative, but if you made an investment and it returns you anything at all, you made an ROI. The term y'all should be using is breakeven. The point at which your ROI becomes positive.

Spondoolies Tech seems to indicate that PBmining it's a ponzi:

This is not endorsement to buy CBCM, but I look at PBMINING cost. The electricity alone for 5 years cost a lot more than the contract cost per $/GHs
Either it is a pyramid or they expect to replace with new hardware at an unrealistic rate. Do the math.

i am not for or against spooning but i hear this thing about electricity all the time- it is so dumb- if electric costs more than the mining you just pay out the mining - will there be more btc machines within the next 5 years - you bet, but it is not necessary for pb to even invest in them... just run the numbers , year5 wont add up to 1 btc for every single customer, pb just hast to match apples to apples, also you dont even need to make back all your btc for a profit.... if the value of btc goes up you can be read in btc but black in cash

i am also confused with their low rates.No one can provide this service on these rates.it looks like a ponzi or hyip

low rates?? its over 2.5usd per gh??? relative speaking low, but per gh with the eficiency  of buying power and 28nm..no

U cant get lower if u buy ASIC, when u account everything in. This is rly cheep.

Wow... It's 4 more cents than 2.5 USD! Let's go ahead and spam and troll saying that it's expensive!
Seriously, please shut up. If you can't afford it and can't calculate when you will ROI, then don't buy. It's as simple as that.
If you think it's too expensive, buy hardware and suffer the electricity costs. Don't take the advantages of cloud mining.

Thanks for this great application!

I'm running the numbers several different ways and I cant see a reason to purchase this?

ROI doesnt seem possible, or am i missing something?

ROI is possible, depending on the difficulty increase. If the difficulty increase (over a period of time) is 14% or LESS, you will ROI. I have broken even on my first contract. In my next major release, there will be a calculator for profitability (basically the same features as Bitcoin Wisdom, and a few others).

App Update:
I CANNOT integrate purchasing of contracts, or logging in, at the moment in a "secure" fashion. I'd need to either
1. Send your passwords to my middle-man server to buy contracts OR
2. Wait for the Dev's at PBMining to enable some sort of API or CORS Whitelisting.

Only major features now on the list are
1. Notifications
2. Calculator
3. Global Stats... cause why not?

We simply buy hardware for X amount, and host it for (X + profit margin + estimated costs).  
Difficulty is (seemingly) impossible to predict, but if you have a method then you already have an edge on the industry!
Perhaps purchasing your own hardware would be a better choice for you.
Here are some links if you're interested in purchasing your own hardware:

https://kncminer.com
https://twitter.com/RockMinerInc
http://http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/
http://dragon-miner.com/
http://http://www.butterflylabs.com/

If Bitcoin mining still seems unprofitable with these other options when you compare them to your predictions of difficulty changes, you are always welcome to just buy BTC and just hold, which is a common strategy as well.  You could also sell BTC if you think it's going to go down.
Whatever you decide to do, best of luck to you!

Haha, you really should remove butterfly labs from that. Also, ROI is definitely possible within 5 years.

[PilotofBTC]

Yes, it seems like ROI in the crypto world assumes everyone should be able to buy a coin for $2 and have it be worth $600 3 years later.

If you can earn 10% per year, that is a very high return. $100k will become $259k in 10 years.

I don't know how much that $2.5 (a number that has been mentioned by someone many times) will be worth in 5 years at PB mining. But, I expect it will be more than $4.03, which is 10% compounded annually for 5 years.

pick any numbers you want and just check the magnitude- year 3,4,5 wont count... ROI in the red can happen from buy conversion or btc value increase- is there a calculator with a derivative for difficulty increases?

great calculator but all i see is a setting for dificulty increase ( there is no way to set a rate of the percentage) i guess you could just count the first three numbers change the starting date calculate the new dificulty yourself and then repeat every three results or so for accuracy - pain in the ass - but that is the best calc so far

[PilotofBTC]

I plugged some numbers into that calculator. Problem is, it is very dependent on difficulty increase.

Assuming a purchase of 100 GHS at current pbmining and btc value would be $235.

$235 at 10% interest (if you can get it) compounded annually for 3 years is 344.06.

(3 years is the most full years the BTC calculator would give me)

Per the bitcoin calculator assuming a 10% difficulty increase the return in BTC is .1921 or $113.41. (a loss)

So, compared to investing the cash it's a loss. But, can you get 10% annual return on your money?  

Will the value of bitcoin be the same in 3 years as it is today?

But, that calculator shows EVERY miner (you chose at the top of the page) is going to lose you money at a 13% difficulty increase with $0 electric cost and $0 pool fee. How can that be right? If that was the case, no one would be mining.

So, I'm not sure how accurate the calculator is. Who knows. I can only go by my actual earnings and those of others that say they are break even in about 3 months and everything after that is profit.

Confirm. Break even in about 3.5 - 4 months. It is my case. It is not a fixed period because I bought my gh/s three times in an interval of 20-25 days. So after about 4 months from my firsts gh/s I had all my invested bitcoin and the next Sunday I will be in profit.
