Hashflare Resumes Mining Service as Bitcoin Recovers From Two-Month Low

[Henrikbliss]

Cloud mining provider HashFlare has announced that it is resuming SHA-256 bitcoin mining service on Saturday.

This is a major reversal from HashFlare’s decision to halt Bitcoin mining and terminate all contracts last week. The company claimed mining had been unprofitable for 28 consecutive days at the time contracts were terminated on 20 July.

The company made the announcement via its Facebook page on Friday, saying it has found a solution that will allow them to resume the bitcoin mining service.

“Throughout the last week our team has been focused on finding the optimal solution, that would allow us to resume mining SHA-256, and we are happy to announce that as a result of diligent work, such a solution has been reached. Tomorrow, 28.07.2018, at 00:00 (UTC), SHA-256 mining service will be resumed. All SHA-256 contracts will continue to operate on the same terms.”

This news will be welcomed by HashFlare customers, who were outraged over the shutdown. Some claimed to have purchased contracts during the 28-day period during which mining was unprofitable, and said HashFlare shouldn’t have been selling mining contracts right before terminating all of them. Other customers had been mining for months, constantly re-investing their profits, so lost everything when the contracts were terminated. One customer went as far as issuing a death threat to HashFlare’s operator.

Bitcoin’s price has risen significantly since HashFlare terminated its service. BTC is currently trading over $8,000 as at the time of writing. A combination of needing to placate customers and rising Bitcoin prices could have led to HashFlare’s decision to restore Bitcoin mining contracts...
