Just got an email from hashflare:
Dear users,
Due to a higher-than-usual network load and increasing number of transactions generated by HashFlare users, our provider block.io struggles to process them without delays.
Bitcoin withdrawals take more and more time for processing and therefore we have to temporarily suspend new BTC withdrawals from HashFlare.
Below is the list of wallets with pending transactions:
https://chain.so/a/qoadp0uhttps://chain.so/a/vzcxn9chttps://chain.so/a/hfpok0yhttps://chain.so/a/-_xhmf4https://chain.so/a/oxxd_ryhttps://chain.so/a/zwmlllihttps://chain.so/a/wjrlb5wIf you can find your transaction in chain.so, it means that it is already in a queue for confirmation.
BTC withdrawals will be re-enabled once block.io resolves the issue on their side, sending all pending transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain.
In case block.io fails to deploy a solution in the nearest future, we will change the processing gateway and restore BTC withdrawals.
Please note that HashFlare customer support cannot cancel or speed up the transaction as it lies beyond our control.
We apologise for possible inconveniences.
Sincerely,
HashFlare.io Team
LOL
Definitely sounds like something a ponzi scam would say. I'm totally convinced hashflare is a ponzi scheme now.
Consider these things:
- They have seeming unlimited scalability (which is not possible in the real world).
- No pictures of there datacenter mining Bitcoins. Only pictures I see are with GPU mining and still a small operation at best in those pics. Every "real" Bitcoin miner knows you can't mine with GPU's.
- Company is in small remote country of Estonia. What recourse do you have if things go wrong? Why no office in one of the major countries?
- Google street maps show the company sharing an office in a building in Estonia. Again, where is the datacenter?
If I'm wrong, here is an idea to prove they are legit:
- They show their Bitcoin mining divided among 3 pools by default. Can we verify their presence with those pools?
