Remember CEX.io? Presumably one of the "legit" cloud mining businesses. Got a bit tangled in their own thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=318010.msg11958998#msg11958998Some highlights:
- Displayed a fake TrustPilot score on their home page. Then replaced it with another fake "satisfaction" number.
- Insists to have never claimed to own mining hardware. Despite posts showing archived information about purchasing ASICs, data center pictures etc.
- As soon as some criticism appeared in their thread some very happy users started posting positive reviews.
I've never been a big fan of CEX but never thought they would go full Garza. All they need to do now is get one of those hyperflux controllers.
Full Garza is the logical business move. If I gave you 1 btc to purchase and run a miner that would only generate enough btc to return .8 btc to me after you take your cut, why would you go through the trouble of purchasing a miner and paying for electricity and wasting your time and energy running the thing?
