more people are looking at cloud mining.
I don’t agree with the statement that cloud mining is still a thing, whether in relation to BTC mining or other proof-of-work algorithm coins. People are not exploring cloud mining as much anymore.
It may not be as popular as it was or used to be but one thing I know is that as long as there are still some few individuals interested in it which there certainly is, there are still other people who are scammers waiting to make victims of this few individuals.
