It's just sad to see the bitcoin community falling for the same scams over and over which can be easily prevented. If the everyone would just adopt the most basic standards like requiring proof of mining via a mining address then 99% of cloudmining scams could be avoided. Although I think most people already require simple proof of legitimacy, there's a never ending wave of noobs who oppose the idea.
But you're right I think I've made my point, I'll leave and let you guys enjoy your gambling. I just hope you guys are honest when spamming your referral links and don't pretend pbmining is a completely legit mining operation without massive risks for a tiny reward.
