I did a small test contract with them and the payouts were right inline with coinwarz profit calc. for 3 days then I added more hash to it. Then they have missed the last two payments so I am not sure what's going on hopefully it just a weekend glitch. I'll report back!!!

so what happened? did you get paid?

facebook is the #1 social website on the internet. you can create a new better version of facebook.com along with "new" "innovative" shiny features. But that doesnt make your website #1... sorry. Google tried that with google plus but it did not work. you guys who think/talk about other "innovative" coins will cause LTC dead have no idea about what marketing is...

I have been researching these cloud mining services and honestly I found so many different opinions. CHecked several reviews... Checked the cloud mining services' websites, and threads here on the forum. My finding is that PBmining is among the best, however, I found many bad opinions too, and there is another company, Genesis Mining, which seems more trustworthy to me. The got excellent ranking on www.cloudmining.guru, I found this a couple of days ago: http://cryptomining-blog.com/2706-trying-out-the-genesis-mining-scrypt-cloud-mining-service/
and they explain all concerns you guys are contemplating about here on their website FAQ.

A scammer accused them of not being legit, not having a farm, etc. and their reply was super cool and funny. Look at this!

just scroll down and read the scammers posts and then the company's reply... Priceless

I just found this review, and apparently it is now possible to get paid in Darkcoin at a cloud mining service.

What implications does this have on Darkcoin? Is it a good thing?

I heard a lot of bad things about cex and cloudhashing, some good and some bad about scrypt, mostly good about pbmining, and only good about genesis mining. the rest you mentioned is completely unknown for me... i wonder whether they are even legit, and i would be interested to hear some experiences!

it was nice reading your review! i have been looking around for reviews like this... i thought i found a nice one ( https://cloudmining.guru/wp/category/reviews/ ), but another user pointed out it's not objective, and could be related to PBmining...  but who knows whom to trust? i don't... it seemed credible to me, but i am a beginner.

And did anything change ever since? What are your experiences?

Anyways, i am becoming really interested in this cloud mining thing, because some are extremely happy with it, while some say its a ponzi scheme. i am excited what the future brings  Cool

Well it would be a simple matter for them to show a wallet where bitcoin awards are sent too if they are really mining.   Has that been done?
nope, they never showed us either their mining hardware photos, pool that they use for mining or coins generated from their mining
many users aksed it since 3-4 months ago and they always denied it, they said that they have personal reason to do that Sad
as i see, their weekly payment is not from newly generated coin, it was from mixing coins, so we can't track from where their coin was generated
so, it is possible from their users payment / purchased GHS Grin
Sounding more and more like a Ponzi scheme.   As long as they have more buyers and the buying covers the weekly award, all is fine.   
yeah many people thought like that
you can see their comment here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=484355.0
with many reasonable calculations too about their operation
total hashrate = 695 TH/s, but we didn't see 1 hardware at all Grin

i remembered this, when i read your comment, just scroll down to the pictures:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=467587.0;all

i thought it was hilarious what they did against this scammer guy. quite good advertising technique too, i must say

Hmmm that feels kinda bad, i must say! But no, i am certainly not working for PBMining....  !!! i am simply researching a bit here, and this was the first thread i posted to, cause i read about pbmining in that review! what's so weird about it?
But if i look at your signature i can already tell you are wishing for a forum free of people trying to sell their stuff. I totally get that, and I am also here for the objective opinions.
I think that you belong to the 5% who stick to their principles, and the other 95% will be happy to sell their signatures. Sad but the world works like this.
By the way, do you know any platforms where they are objective, and you are certain about it? The link i posted was the best review/comparison I could find. I would really appreciate reading about mining at home versus cloud miners, and comparisons of cloud miners, and perhaps a site where they have some critiques... To me cloudmining guru seemed legit, but i would be interested in what else is there! You were right, I am a newbie and I might be naiv and think that something is legit, but that's why I am here on this forum, to try better understanding it... So if you could help me it would be appreciated. And no need to be mean. cheers

In the BTC world, you already got the figures about right. Finding something that is 100% legit (= not intending to rip you off) is the literal needle in the haystack.
Some 95% will (one way or another) look how to skim your money off you in a varying degree of aggressiveness.

Basically forget "official" reviews or institutions. Look through the forum, collect all information & perspectives and filter out those 95% to the best of your knowledge.
Then you're on track as good as possible.

As already written by many, dealing with BTC has almost become a no-brainer.
- forget mining
- buy BTC at a price you like
- hold it and hope for the best, sell into profitable runs if that's your goal

PS.
Technically I don't belong into this BTC world. 100% trustabity, honesty and integrity based on principles eons old seems so.... yesterday.
That oldschool stuff has gotten lightyears distance from mainstream it seems at times.
But it has given me fine senses for everything that smells like it lacks any of above criteria...

Anyway, I'm just a stranger in a strange world, so you're well-advised to keep collecting other opinions on the matter.

I appreciate your detailed answer, thank you! It sounds pretty disappointing though. This forum is just overwhelming, and I was really hoping that I can avoid spending all my free time here Cheesy maybe i should consider looking for another topic for my thesis... everything is too complex, no reliable sources... the field is just too new i guess. but whatever, i will stick around and see how it goes. cheers

i might have posted it already, but you might want to look at this review, it compares all cloud miners
https://cloudmining.guru/wp/category/reviews/

Yes, this advertising site camouflaged as a "review site" (which btw. is affiliated with pbmining, I would even go as far as suspecting they share the same operator) has been spammed by fake newbie accounts over and over and over.
As the very first posting from easy8 some 4 days ago was *cough* accidentally *cough* in this very thread in this hughe forum - it is clearly one of the fake spam accounts.

One more reason to stay away from them - on top of dozens of other reasons.

We are in no way affiliated with PBMINING nor other cloud mining providers.

Yeah, sure... Spoken like a true politician. Trustable like a politician.
You belong to the very same group that spams that likely ponzi all across the Forums since months.

Already forgot your "review site" ran an exclusive ad campaign for pbmining ?

This is their spam strategy. A "supposedly independent review site" and "supposedly legit forum accounts" spreading good opinions about it.
Both combined already tell me with a >95% probability that their operations are a ponzi and have criminal intent.

You might as well rename your account name to "PBMINING.GURU".

Anyway, nothing new under the sun, everything has been pointed out already. Those who chose to invest might be lucky and be out before it collapses - others not so much.
Free country, was their free decision.

i have read about cloud mining, i am really interested in it now. is that something you would try? looks like you don't have the hassle of building, maintaining, updating a miner, but you can just rent it from those who have comparative advantage: the cloud miners.
look, for example here's a review. https://cloudmining.guru/wp/category/reviews/
the review is even comparing and ranking the existing services.
what do you think?
or is it a dead end? what's the general view on cloud mining services?

They charge you more than you will ever make.
Think about it, why would they sell you a dollar for 75 cents?
You just absolutely perfectly summed up cloud mining.  +1

they sold me 737 usd  contract in June of 2013 . I have collected  about 400  usd contract ends this July. I will collect about 20 usd more.  My loss will be about 300 usd.

As to making  a profit at this the op made some poor choices.  It happens.  As you can see I made a poor choice with cloudhasher.

  To all new miners I suggest buying 2 miners cost of .2btc from this seller. maybe you need a hub and 2 power bricks so lets say .25btc  or 150-160 usd

 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=629006.0 

 I also suggest taking .25btc and leaving it untouched in a second  btc wallet.   so you spend .5 btc total or 325 usd.

Then mine 1 of the 2 miners at an easy pool like bitminter.com

and learn to solo mine with the second miner.

Leaving the matching .25btc untouched.

visit your totals in a month and see what you have.  do this once a month for six months. see what you have.

 

by cloudhasher you meant cloudhashing.com?

Hali,

Február óta bányászgatok itthon. Scrypt-n, Scrypt-OG, X11, Keccak, X13. A profitot csak úgy lehet, hogy az indulással együtt bányászni, és a 2-3. nap eladni. 80%-ban ez bejön. A maradék 20% "veszteséget" a exchange tözsdézéssel lehet csökkenteni. Figyeled a pump-dumop-okat és lereagálod. Nem egyszerű, de csak hobbinak éri meg. Fő keresetnek ha nincs nagy alaptőkéd, vagy szabadidőd, akkor nem. Nekem egy jó játék, hobbi. sokat lehet tanulni belőle, főleg a bizalomról. A friss launchok 80%-a csalás, 19,9% lutri, 0,1 % amiben van potenciál. Eddig 4 ilyet láttam csak..

Még valamio, az ASIC is egy nagy lehúzás, mire megtérülne, ott az újabb generáció, és jó ha a pénzednél vagy. A GPU azért még 1-2 évesen is eladható, ha nem nyírtad ki a ventiket, vagy gariba cseréltetted :-)

nem értek egyet... vagy lehet hogy nem értem. nekem nem tűnik hülyeségnek, amit ezek a cégek állítanak: mégpedig hogy nem akarják minden tőkéjüket coinokba fektetni, hiszen az nekik is rizikós. míg ha bérbe adják a farmjaikat, akkor a vásárlók biztosan fizetnek nekik. és sokan aazt állítják, hogy a vásárlók is jól járnak így. akkor most mivaaan?  Huh

Köszi szépen, hogy ilyen hosszan válaszoltál!
Az otthoni bányászást ezek szerint csak mókából csinálod. Szerinted is lehúzás a cloud mining, mint az előtted szóló szerint? Én azért vagyok bizonytalan, mert olvastam pár nagyon elégedett vásárlót, akik kifejezetten dícsérték a cloud miner szolgáltatást. Úgy, hogy utánanéztem az aktivitásuknak, és tuti nem az adott cég alkalmazottai akik csak a thread-eket akarják életben tartani...  Akkor mi az igazság? Mert a cex-ről tényleg sokan panaszkodnak, és le is húzták őket nagyon, de van akikről meg áradoznak.

Az alábbi linken található szolgáltatások közül valakinek van valamelyikkel tapasztalata?  A CEX elég rosszat kapott. Meg most kaptam egy választ is "rolk"tól, ami ezt alá is támasztja.

PBmining's drawback for me is the reason I don't use it. That's also why I use cex.io, but that's another story.
what did you mean with drawback mate?
cex.io is worse i think, their price is expensive and their fee is crazy
I completely forgot to specify the drawback xD

The drawback is I can't actively trade and withdraw, which I prefer. I use cex.io for the trading profits.
hmm, i see now Smiley
that's why pbmining use contract system, they don't support trading
trade in cex.io not profitable anymore since they use fee for trade

cexből nem fogsz profittal kiszállni soha.. Smiley

nem tudom mivel tudna belekezdeni most egy kezdő, hogy legyen profitja, az elmúlt fél évben annyian ugrottak bele ebbe, hogy gyakorlatilag már csak fillérekért megy a bányászat.

szerintem jobban jársz, ha veszel egy kis BTC-t, és félrerakod egy-két évre. Aztán vagy bejön, és hatványozottan jól jársz, vagy buksz rajta. De ezt nem lehet megmondani.

to me it's always a turn off when a service claims something like "highest paid signature" when it's actually not the case... even if it has been running for a long time, and is reliable (it seems at least), there are other companies competing for signatures with MUCH better deals and they might be younger than PrimeDice, but still have better offers! it's just false advertising and deceiving the customer. it's just not nice Sad
