Legitimate Cloud Mining




Cloud mining is a very shady beast. Unfortunately far too often people cut and run with investors/customers money and that's it, no recourse, nothing to do. This article will cover legitimate cloud mining, companies that I've personally done business with and a summary of their service. I won't be going into price comparison because in my opinion, you need to look through all the candidates before making any kind of purchase. You need to have the final decision on which company you trust the most.

Hashnest

Hashnest is my up-most trusted site. If you know bitcoin mining, you've heard of BITMAIN, a fantastically honest company that really strives to make great mining hardware. If you don't want to buy hardware and run it locally, you can purchase shares of their co-location units and start mining right away. Transactions are done on a P2P basis generally so the price of hashing power can vary a fair amount.

If you haven't already made an account, go head over, make an account to at least check it out, I think it will be worth your time.

Genisis Mining

These guys have been around for awhile, definitely worth checking out their information and pricing, all pricing is in a "lifetime contract". As with any contract please read through the specifics and make sure you truly agree to everything stated. If something seems off, don't do business with them, it's as simple as that. All purchasing is straight from the company,there is no marketplace like Hashnest in this one.

Bitcoin Cloud Mining Services


Unlike Genisis, this service allows you to buy custom amounts of hashrate. This has been around for quite a while as well, but just give their Company page a quick read, they have pictures of actual mining operations, and seem like a trustworthy bunch. As always read the fine print on user/customer agreements when making a purchase of any magnitude.

PoolWarz SHA-256 Auto-switching

What Is Pool Warz? PoolWarz is a pool (with a collection of different mine able coins) that has a little bit of a different approach to the set up of your miners. Creators of this site also bring you CoinWarz , and RigWarz , now have their own pool, they're not linked to one another however. Within PoolWarz , when you create a worker, you only point your hardware at one URL, as opposed to multiple different URLs for separate coins. At anytime you can alter what coin this worker is mining by changing where it's pointer (or "assigned" to ) on your dashboard in your PoolWarz account. Subscription There is an option to pay a monthly subscription fee to PoolWarz for a 0% fee (as opposed to their standard 2% fee) and also getting the ability for "auto-switching". If you've been mining for a while, you'll know the concept of "auto-switching" because it's the same as a multipool basically, except you keep all the coins you mine. ...

Shift Payments Mobile App - Android

As you know, I just got a Bitcoin credit card from Shift Payments which i reviewed a few days ago here . Overview I love the card, and a mobile app for a product like this, in my opinion, is a must. The application is pretty handy and basically takes the place of any kind of website account / web-app. The app is for both iOS and Android devices, I'll be using the Android app. Boot screen Something that a lot of apps seem to forget, that Shift  hasn't, is above all keep it simple. The app has a clean simple design that makes it very easy to navigate and consume the functionality within. Wallets & Accounts Accounts screen With the ability to add and remove accounts on the fly, and choose your active account (The account you withdraw bitcoin from) quickly and easily is done very well. It drops that average "slide in" menu from the left or right as most mobile apps use, which is great because that's just one less tap you need to...
