PS I would call scamming also the fact that they NEVER inform you of any development/problem of their mining platform and they use as an excuse the fact that their clients prefer to be notified about anything regarding Genesis only through their site and the social media (of course THEY NEVER EVER INFORMED ANYONE THROUGH THEIR SITE AND ALL ANNOUNCEMENTS UPLOADED AT THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA, ARE ONLY HALF TRUE AND MANIFEST ONLY AFTER MUCH PRESSURE BY THEIR ANGUISHED CLIENTS EACH TIME SOME DISASTER HAPPENS)! Such a miserable situation!
Quit whining and accept self-responsibility. The below is why you're at a loss, not because Genesis Mining is a scam:

P.S. BTC payments are currently being held because of the hard fork. It was posted on their blog and twitter feed -- same as with the hack. Pay attention and RTFM.
I'm not totally unsympathetic since I'm in a similar boat, but you'r engaging in cognitive dissonance by shifting blame to Genesis and hyperboling over other minor issues. It is 100% your fault that you didn't properly calculate your future returns with
expected difficulty increases factored in before you bought the contract. Genesis makes no claim about future returns.
