Just a few short questions:

• As a cloud-mining business (assuming you are a business), what is the reason for you to hide behind a WhoIs privacy protection service?

- If we disclose our identity we will immediately be open to multiple grey areas of taxation. Moreover, we will need to have KYC from all our customers as we are creating money. This would no go well with our client base.

• Your domain was registered on October 14, 2014. Does that mean you do not have any track record before October 2014?

- We did not register this domain. We purchased it. Our operation was running well before 2014, but for private investors. We opened for public only with this domain.

• Your website is hosted on a shared hosting server. How come your “business” does not run it’s own dedicated server? After all, one would expect a cloud mining company to have a complete server infrastructure and not just a website on a shared server…

- Our online operation is not as resource intensive as to maintain a dedicated server. We dont have any hot wallet either, so there is no security risk. Why should we spend on something that is not required ?

• Other domains on the shared hosting server you use are – among others – “alphadata.ir”, “kingmoviez2.ir”, “[Suspicious link removed]”, and “rd.to”. What relationship do you have to those domains?

- None of those domains are owned by us. They might be hosted on the same server as that is how shared hosting works. Can you please tell us how did you reach the conclusion that those are ours ?

I’m asking, because all those things typically points to ponzi schemes, and I would like to be able to differ your operation from such schemes. After all, we’re talking money here and not knowing who we’re dealing with doesn’t really provide trust… I’m sure you understand.

Honestly, I don’t really expect them to. 

In fact, my questions rather aim to provide a heads-up for newcomers who stumble into this thread. Somewhat like a “I can’t protect you, but I can ask the questions you should be asking before even thinking about sending your money into the voids.”
