In the last two days, Hashflare's maintenance fee was larger than the payout, so they have reached a critical point in their business.

Currently Hashflare users are holding onto only 16% of their payout. It's projected to get worse and at some point the contracts will either be suspended or cancelled.

With the high difficulty and low value of BTC, I would warn people against any kind of BTC mining, not just cloud mining.

Why do you need to berate cloud miners, when there are people pre-ordering Bitmain miners at ridiculous prices and by the time they get shipped the difficulty will be astronomical?

You need to tell those people they are wasting their money on overpriced, power-hungry doorstops!

Do not misspell their website. You could compromise your account if the owner of that link fakes the hashflare.io site. It's currently being forwarded, but I don't recognize the owner.

Also, Ethereum mining is unprofitable even with long term contracts and no maintenance fee. The upfront cost is too high.

I don't trust anyone (e.g. CryptoRobert) who considers investing in Bitconnect.

I also don't trust newbies making their first post ever.

Their headquarters is a virtual office rental - https://www.yourcityoffice.com/virtual-office-dublin-college-green.php - that can be rented over the internet. This is a HUGE, LOUD, red flag.

It has not disappeared. Maybe you got a Telegram glitch? There's 7.2K members.

F2 Pool was dominant in November.

I don't agree with risk distribution. You would be reducing your profits because the top pool tends to be consistent.

With the BTC difficulty going up 40% this past month and ETH difficulty going up 30%, things are looking a little grim for mining.

You're posting the same thing on multiple threads and describing all sort of problems without mentioning attempts to troubleshoot on your own end. As a result, you get all sorts of people posting on these multiple threads trying to help you.

If you can come to an agreement with someone to sell your Hashrate, support will apparently help with that. You might get better assistance from the users in Telegram about that.

I'm no expert, but I usually see that if a prior transaction using the same funds did not get 6 confirmations before being transferred to you. Maybe the Kiosk transfers funds between multiple addresses automatically?
As long as the transaction to you gets confirmed, it would mean the prior transaction was fully confirmed.

What is the expected time for you to get your initial investment back?

I started with Hashflare about a month ago and have received 38% payback so far. That suggests I will break even after 3-4 months. I got in when BTC's price was peaking and before Hashflare raised their prices, so that made a difference.

Pump and dump is a scumbag way to cheat others. Don't be a bag holder.

The only videos that "Crypto Rick" have posted are about Sun-mining. I suspect he might be directly involved with the company.

Like I said before...their address is a virtual office...a big red flag.

There are some rare solar-powered data centers in Australia, but they put the solar panels on the roof and not on some remote grassland, like in their picture.

Here's a guy claiming he was scammed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyj-D0aXlVs

If you look past their Cloudflare, the website is actually hosted in Germany. An Australian company wouldn't go to the opposite side of the world to get web hosting.

The company may not even be located in Australia. Their location is a virtual office rental which could be rented online from another country for just $29/month - http://cbdaddress.com.au/.

My antivirus rarely blocks cloud mining websites, but it happens to block this one. Must be a good reason why.

Great advice...calling the OP a fool and claiming he just got scammed. You guys are toxic.

What's really disgusting is that you are pushing scams in your sigs.

@OP - don't consider reinvesting until Hashflare lowers their prices.

If you re-enter the wallet address, withdrawal becomes disabled for 14 days, so you don't want to change that unless you need to.

If you are unable to modify the wallet entry, you should try different browsers which have no addons.

Send a support ticket in, because it's a long wait to get a response. If you are not getting emails from alerts@hashflare.io, change your email provider. They are using mandrillapp.com to send emails which might get blocked as spam or you might end up on a rejection list if your address causes an email bounce.

I think they are planning to do withdrawal transactions in batches to save on fees.
