With recent announcements from CEX.IO and CloudHashing.com effectively turning off their customers some people seem to think that Cloud Mining for Bitcoins is doomed. If the "big guys" can't make it work for people, can anyone else? We think so, and you can read why at http://www.megamine.com/cloudhashingdoomed.php Justin CEO www.megamine.com

your prices are too high for 1 th both the up front price and the maintenance fee.
lets say I buy 10th contract cost = 4890 up front - 5% since I use bitcoin = 4645.50 up front then $16.13 a day to maintain it 10 th earns 26.96 a day
so 26.96 - 16.13 = 10.83 a day profit since I gave you 4645.50 up front that means 428 or 429 days to break even, If coins and diff stays frozen.
You like spondoolies new cloud deal are far too expensive.

Its not clear how long the contract is valid either. Moreover, they have maintenance fee over this 0.002 BTC/Ghs price. Plus difficulty is going to jump again...

Cloud mining will always find new suckers to invest. I do not think they are all liars, but they all are certainly bad investments.

There is no point to cloud mining. Either it is a ponzi in which case it can fold anytime, or it is legitimate which results in a loss. Best option is to get a miner if there is cheap electricity and mine on its own.

Cloud mining is/was not profitable, So yes it's doomed. You'll never make profit by mining on cloud or in your home. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

http://www.megamine.com/our_products.phpUnder the Hosted Contracts description "As long as the contract can cover the hosting fees it can continue running for up to three years" http://store.megamine.com/collections/hosted-contractsIn bold "Please note that these contracts run for a maximum of three years but will stop earning and will be terminated when the hosting fee is greater than the amount of bitcoins earned because the equipment providing the service is turned off." Hope that's clear for you. Justin www.megamine.com

I don't think that you will earn something while the BTC price is around 230 USD

Not true. With stable or rising coin prices cloud mining can be profitable to both the seller and the buyer. Many cloud mining companies used to operate without problems last year, but how would you possibly sustain a business if the material you're producing lost 50% of its value in 2 months and continued to drop. You can do the calcullations for any market product like gold or coal, not only crypto. No real world mine would continue to operate in such circumstances. this is the point. the mining is not profitable anymore so it is doomed. what's next? collapse. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
