This was pre 2011 so cpu mining times, you def could have rented somer servers and mined a lot of coins back then. If he did or not is what iam curious about. There wasn't as many scams back then those came later as money started entering the space..
GPU become main choice in 2010 and FPGA become main choice in 2011. Besides, AFAIK CEX.IO was the first cloud mining in 2013. So i think you misremember.
I never said he mined in 2011, he made the post about his troubles with his former company in 2011. it was 100% a post, I didnt post about if the post happened or not, i remember that part. its the details and outfall i was curious about, i guess theres some chance it was deleted.
If you werent active here back in 2011 you dont really add much to the question unnless you somehow found that thread after the fact...
