Hashflare has always been good to me. I said it before and I'll say it again "The Scotts really know how to run a cloud mining operation".
It's really the only option right now for those who want to start out mining. I mean you can't find a high end video card on the planet, never mind the shortage in Canada, USA and Russia.
You gotta buy the whole damn box to get the card. Which in some cases is still pretty good. GTX 1080's are going for 1400 - 2000 bucks a piece while the whole gaming system with a 1080 is only 2000 bucks (CAD prices)
I just bought a few more Hashflair contracts last night for the same reason.
I am really excited about MIO as well. A lifetime mining payout but I'm losing confidence in their team. Just buy the damn equipment already and show us your progress MIO.
They remind me of "me" if "me" and my buddies were to start a cloud mining operation. Give us the money and we can go get the damn miners ourselves. The MIO team are no more "pro's" at this game than you or I would be.
Managing data centers doesn't make anyone a cloud mining expert and their team is a little short on experts.
That's why I keep going back to the old faithfull "Hash Flare. The 10 percent discount is great too, and you actually see the discount on your purchase invoice before you buy in.
Nothin but love for the Hashflare...:)
In saying that the profit ain't too great for hi rollers, their wait time for service is rough at best and of course the dreaded service fee is heavy. It's still way better than trad markets (even after fiat conversion should you choose)and a roll of the die...I'm bet'in btc will go up so the contract(s) with Hashflare may yield better yet, plus I have never lost a dime yet on the "bagpipes"! I still don't know why that ain't a big part of their marketing... Shit, if anyone can bargain and haggle with the Chinese and their own local authorities it'd be those lads for sure..
