Hi,

I have found online a Monero Miner called BroMiner. The user can mine monero and BroMiner also offers a Monero Wallet. I have generate a small amount of XMR by sending users to the site but when i try to widthdraw the acumulated XMR from the Wallet nothing happens. I have contacted the owner using the contact form and the whois information but got no answer.

Is it BroMiner legit or a Scam?
If it's a scam and you got more info please share here as i will have to warn users to change their wallet to somewhere else.

Code:
The site: https://www.brominer.com

Thanks for your comment...

I don't think mining xmr through a web browser is efficient enough to make up even for the electricity costs. When mining through a pool the daily payout is very low (using an average cpu or gpu) - one can ofcourse do it as to support the network or simply for fun.

The very fact that they asked you to invite members is to get ads money through all the impressions, therefore obvious scam trying to make some google ads money. Don't waste your time trying to withdraw or get in touch with them.

Generally, all cloud mining and such are scam only.

They didn't ask me to invite members i just decided to include the referral link to the wallet because the program that i was offering was a list of all the  monero miners that i have found.

Here is my link:

Here is the print of the wallet. (I found a bit strange that they update the wallet layout after i started sending users).

Can you recommend a Monero Wallet that can be trusted and have a affiliate program?

I am very skeptical about this wallet. The ones I use are mymonero and monerujo .. I also run a localnode with GUI wallet.

I don't understand the whole concept behind referal bonus on a wallet, that too for monero.

I would not deposit any XMR or use it as a wallet under any circumstances.

Cloud mining won't give big amount of return. And opening an wallet, this never gonna be happen.

Yes i know, on Coin-Hive i made the equivalent to $0.60 and then the monero value dropped and now i have the equivalent to $0.18.

About the wallet, as i said this was a complementary link. Before the users start mining i just suggest to open a Monero Wallet first.

I have had a bad experience with Brominer and don't recommend it. I may have been using it incorrectly, but multiple times from multiple computers to multiple wallets I have put in my wallet address on the pages main site an clicked "Start Mining". Not once has any of the XMR the site said I earned ever been transferred to the indicated address. There may be extra steps involved, but they are not clearly depicted on the site, my experience is that the main landing page of the site is a scam, or at the least maliciously unclear in how to operate it. Two thumbs down for me and a recommendation for others not to use the site.

All the information I've been able to gather about this site leads me to believe it is a scam. This Reddit thread details a redditor mining and not being able to cash out, and this Reddit thread also shows a redditor stating that he never got a payout. Either way, mining via your browser is extremely inefficient and not really worth your time in the end, especially when mining profitability is as low as it is right now. If you want to seriously mine XMR, try to acquire a real mining rig, or at the very least, start an actual mining program instead of mining through your browser.

I couldn't access the site because my antivirus detects that the site is a mining site and sending automatic mining in my laptop.

Like the other said this kind of mining site there is no big return in your investment and I'm sure you are just wasting your time mining with this site.

I suggest if you really want to invest go directly buy your own mining rig and mine coins with your own.
