Hashflare datacenter stops cloud miningThe company Hashflare datacenter, which has been operating for several years, announced the termination of their active contracts to process SHA-256 due to the continued unprofitability of mining BTC.
The company explained on Facebook that: "for more than a month, our users are faced with a situation where the payments were lower than the service fee." In fact, as of 18.07.2018, the payments were lower than the service for the last 28 days.
The team seems to think they can recover from the event by pointing out:
We expect that the situation in the cryptocurrency market will stabilize in the near future, and we will be able to offer our users new profitable solutions.
However, the Hashflare datacenter reputation may be too tarnished for the realization of the promise, because many customers complain that the company does not offer damages invested in the contracts, or the alternative of mining that would be allowed to recapture the loss. People are also leery of the fact that the company has added the requirements of KYC / AML right before publishing the latest ads.
