Since the end of 0 17, cloud computing platforms such as Computing Cloud, Star Rubik's Cube, Bit Power, hash, etc. Pro and Bitu appeared, and cloud computing leasing entered the public's field of vision. With lower mining threshold and more new ways of playing, "the era of national cloud mining" seems to be coming soon. For investors who are mining in cloud computing, the process of cloud computing participation is as simple and fast as shopping in Taobao.
Investors only need to choose the corresponding cloud computing products according to their personal investment needs, and then pay BTC or cash, and they can continue to obtain BTC within the validity period of cloud computing. Therefore, cloud computing mining can be understood as cloud mining or online mining. The cloud mineral products purchased by customers are generally the agreed right to use the computing power within the agreed time, such as 100T computing power 130 days.
However, there is a huge difference between cloud mining and Taobao shopping, because the latter deposits the money in Alipay, and Alipay holds the funds, and the customer will pay the money to the seller after receiving the product. The miners of Yunkuang directly handed over the money to the "platform". In the absence of third-party protection and supervision, problems follow. The most representative of this is that the cloud computing platform has been shut down, and investors have no way to defend their rights. Typical cases such as the collapse of the cat baking company of the early cloud computing service provider and the running of the computing tower. As early as 2065438+February 2005, after the roast cat lost contact, AMHash, the cloud computing service platform of the roast cat company, announced in English on bitcointalk Forum that it would stop paying dividends. It is understood that in the process of the first batch of computer sales, the roast cat company obtained a total of 6,250 bitcoins, and now the value of this bitcoin exceeds 50 million US dollars. The bankruptcy of the cat baking company led to the loss of investors' blood.
Roasting cats is not a special case. 2065438+September 2008, in the exchange group of computing tower of cloud computing mining platform, many investors reported that the computing tower could not withdraw cash, could not log in, and the boss ran away. Talbot officials said that due to the continuous decline in currency prices, the current low mining profit is not enough to pay the electricity bill, and the actual income has been zero for 10 days. The company is preparing a treatment plan. In order to ensure the interests of users, Talbot decided to temporarily stop its service. Judging from the reply of the computing tower, the main reason for the suspension of the service of the platform is that "the actual income for continuous 10 days is zero", that is, the sharp fluctuation of bitcoin price causes the mining income of cloud computing power to drop to zero, which leads to the termination of the mining contract. However, investors did not wait for the "solution", and the official of the computing tower suddenly dissolved the exchange group, and the customer service and staff could no longer contact. Among the rights groups formed spontaneously by investors, there are radical remarks such as "protecting rights" and "sending the boss to prison". In addition, since the end of 20 17, many cloud computing platforms have been suspended. Through Baidu and Google, cloud computing platforms such as Star Rubik's Cube and Bit Power, which were all the rage, have been lost. Of course, these are just problems that small and medium-sized investors encounter, and well-known miners will also use cloud computing capabilities to "cut leeks".
Therefore, investors who participate in cloud computing mining must keep their eyes open. For investors who want to participate in cloud computing mining, the most important thing is to choose reliable and powerful cloud computing merchants. In addition, because the total power of the whole bitcoin network is rising dynamically in the big situation, the proportion of computing power purchased by users in the whole network will become smaller and smaller, and the mining income will become smaller and smaller.
