Likely Ponzi scams that have yet to collapse:

Code:

bitcoincloudservices  1+2+4+5+6*+7       => 6/7 = Ponzi (+ founded by known scammer  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=860400.msg9638868#msg9638868)

this is must move to :
Ponzi's that have already collapsed as predicted

bitcoincloudservices is scam in 2015 and no payout again.

Thanks for mentioning that.
Will edit in a few seconds time.


I have not yet listed Cloudminer.com since I am waiting for their proofs (if they have any) to what they were claiming before.
Might add them in the next update.

Be a little bit careful guys, a lot of these have variations on mining-hash-bit-miner-cloud in their names, try not to get them mixed up.

The "bitcoincloudminer" redirect has nothing to do, as far as I'm aware, with the sig campaign referred to above, or with the Australian Cloudminer.com which runs it.

Cloudminer.com, just to add to potential confusion, aren't offering traditional cloudmining contracts with an upfront payments/roi structure.
They appear to be selling third party hash thru an internal market and, although they should be approached with care, don't immediately ring scam alarms for me.

bit-x already stopped their cloud mining operation in last december though.

Has anyone assessed HashOcean on this scale yet? I don't see it on the list...

Ok, let's hash Hashocean, according to Puppet's original system:

1) No public mining address / no user selectable pool.

2) No endorsement from any asic vendor

3) No relevant pictures of their hardware and datacenter

4) Open ended IPO / fractional reserve mining risk

5) Referral program

6) Anonymous operators

7) No exit strategy

Refund offered 96 hours after requested, no reports of anyone successfully doing this.
Video card offered for 700 KH/s of purchases after six months. I read of failed attempt somewhere on BCT, can't find the ref atm

8 ) Bonus point for "guaranteed profit"

6/7, plus advertised ROI = 7/8 Full House probable Ponzi.

Indiana, would you be so good as to add this HashOcean to the steaming pile of crap pls.




And while I'm at it, let's do the one in my sig, BitClub Network

1) No public mining address / no user selectable pool.

They pass this one partially, with BitClub Pool , but you have no choice.

2) No endorsement from any asic vendor

punin from Bitfury acknowledges their existence as customers prone to exaggeration

3) No relevant pictures of their hardware and datacenter

Plenty of pics and videos showing their logo.

4) Open ended IPO / fractional reserve mining risk

Deffo fail on this one, by their own claims of Club 'membership' and my calculations (unrefuted) of their liabilities.

5) Referral program

HUUUUGE fail loma

6) Anonymous operators

Lots of mouthy promoters, but no principals or premises to arrest, sue or raid (the U.S. based shills will be liable to prosecution).

7) No exit strategy

Buy "your" machine and have it shipped to you = No effective exit strategy for 99% of their 'investors'.

8 ) Bonus point for "guaranteed profit"

They scrupulously avoid stating a definite ROI, using plausible reasons for self serving ends.

5/7.
Plus a discretionary 1 for the rapist.

so which cloud mining would you prefer where we get ROI in atleast 4 months?

[suchmoon]

HODL

Instant ROI.

Instant ROI.

Not instant. It needs at least an year to reach ROI.
Moreover one risk factor is also there, price shrink.

If I have one BTC I will still have one BTC tomorrow and 4 months later, 100% ROI by definition. There is no "shrink". There is no counterparty risk. There are no issues with hardware (real or fictional), difficulty, exchange rate, etc.

There is no "cloud mining" out there that would achieve ROI (assuming the poster above meant 100% ROI and not e.g. 20%) in 4 months so why bother.

Tommy has now sent out three emails about this.

They had a problem with their server provider for their website only, so mining was not affected.

The site is up and running again now.

Everything looks quite transparent there, so we can assume that it is a legit project. However, as with all investments everyone should be careful.

[maydna]
