It is changing everything! So, if you thought you had bought a contract from HF that will bring profit for years, you was wrong.

Lets compare mining contracts from Hashflare (HF), Genesis-Mining (GM) and Hashing24 (H24) with new prices. Please also see my previous report.

HF SHA-256 contract profit calculation before Sept. 1:

BTC-HF:  # return in 4.1 monthes
  investing: 100  # USD for 364 days
  income:   404.4  # USD
  maintenance: 106.2  # USD
  profit:    198.2  # USD (198.2 %)

Almost 200% annual profit is to much to share with clients.

New price calculation:

Coins:  # 2017-08-31
    BTC: 0.00000283   # coins per day for 10GH/s
    LTC: 0.00078961   # per 1 MH/s
    ETH: 0.0000202464 # per 100 KH/s
    DASH: 0.00000197  # per 1 MH/s
    ZEC: 0.00000163   # per 0.1 H/s

Annual profit for "BTC-HF" contract dropped from 200% to approx. 50%. Since BTC and LTC contracts from GM are out of stock, the "BTC-HF" still attractive, but HF reputation ruined. Probably the profit is much dearly than brand.

I will looking for future services with uninterrupted smart contracts and decentralized court of justice.

The Python script for mining calculation is available on github

Thanks for the update

Thanks for voting

These guys will lose a lot of clients... Trust me.

I am one of them who will stop manual investing each month and reinvesting my BTC mining to get more hashpower. Has anybody tried pool.bitcoin.com?

It is better to mine for ourself with such profit.

@stvnz, I have a rig in my home, and trust me, it's better you but some GPU instead of mining with them.

What currency are you mining? BTC/LTC is not a case for GPU, ETH difficulty have rapidly increased, other is not so profitable.

I'd be interested in any updates as definitely need this mining rev.

I'll do. Thanks

Great post overall but one small mistake: They are not changing the duration for previously sold contracts, only for me contracts. Your old contracts are still lifetime-contracts.

No.

All SHA-256 and Scrypt contracts activated prior to 01.09.2017 will expire on 31.08.2018.

Oh, okay. That is not what they have written in their statement. But I am certain you are right, I am too lazy to double check this now xD

Of course, it easy to check.
