How to spot a cloud mining scam
Cloud mining has a bad history, with many schemes that paid early users with new deposits. A few checks remove most of the risk.
Guaranteed or fixed returns
Mining output moves with price, difficulty and fees. A site that promises a fixed daily or monthly return is not describing mining.
Missing basics
Look for Terms, Privacy and a risk notice, a contact address, a clear price and a clear cancellation rule. If any of these is missing, do not pay.
Withdrawals
Check the withdrawal rules before depositing: minimum, fees, delay and identity checks. Test with a small amount first.
Pressure and referral schemes
Be careful with countdowns, bonuses that grow with deposits and rewards for recruiting. They are signs of a pyramid structure.
What we do
We show the price of a membership, say that rewards are variable and not guaranteed, and publish our terms and risk notice. Even so, never spend more than you can afford to lose.
