It wasn't me that was banned, it was the person that gave me a referral link - I don't know all the details. I never had a physical machine or anything, it was all done online somehow - that's what I'm trying to work out what it was.
If looks like you were scammed in this case. Mining Bitcoin is done through physical rigs. Now you would need to join a pool to be profitable, but you still need to have your physical gear to generate the computing power needed.
All I know is I purchased different priced "rigs" that updated my earnings on a daily basis and then when it got to an amount, I could withdraw it.
This was probably a cloud mining scam you ran into. You would never have been able to withdraw and I'm surprised you were not asked to send more money to access the locked funds, scammers usually do that
