Genesis Mining - Etherium. Beware of online cloud mining

in etherium •  7 years ago  (edited)

I recently bought 2 Mining contracts on Genesis Mining totaling 6MH/s

As this was done with credit card initially i had to wait 32 days for first payout. The balance accrued as expected. I received one payout initially as expected (All the pictures i will link below of my dashboard, payouts, pending balance etc.)

I also mine Etherium with a mining rig, so i know about the difficulty. As can be seen from my pics below the payout amounts decreased considerably and then something seems to go wrong. They have stopped daily payouts completely. It is not even being logged anymore.
Surely cannot be that the contracts are just not profitable anymore? Last time i checked, I'm mining ETH with my RIG and it's doing pretty ok on the profit.
I only received that once off payment and then no more. I have Logged a support ticket but they just never respond. Initially i also logged a ticket to enquire about something but they never responded to that one.

For now i will monitor it, but it does not look good! Not sure if i am being ripped off, but i was fairly sure that this is not a scam, so don't really know what is going on. In my opinion, just buy your own damn cards even if it is a GTX 1050ti (13.9MH/s) and forget about cloud mining scammers.

My Pending balance shows a - (negative) symbol, and it hasn't moved for a week now. Something really fishy here? Can anybody comment on what happened here?

Just an update: It seems as if they are struggling to make payouts to many people due to lack of funds!
