HashFlare - Price for cloud mining (TRUSTED NO SCAMM!!)

Buying hashrate of equipment hosted in the HashFlare datacenter you rest assured that the mining equipment is placed, set up and maintained by a team of qualified personnel. 





Dear users,

At the end of this summer, the cryptocurrency mining market experienced many changes which resulted in some uncertainties. With booming interest towards cryptocurrency mining our datacenters were teared apart by mining enthusiasts, resulting in shortage of available SHA-256 hashrate. Lack of available hardware on the market also influenced the prices for such hardware, including HashFlare contracts. However, price changes did not mitigate the constantly increasing demand, thus resulting in SHA-256 getting out of stock.

We would like to let you know that we have temporarily suspended purchases of SHA-256 contracts until the next hardware delivery to our datacenters.

All orders that were created prior to disabling of contract sale will become activated upon the payment confirmation. SHA-256 reinvest will also be disabled until new hardware is installed.

We will update you once SHA-256 contracts become available.

Sincerely,

HashFlare.io team (updated 9 September 2017)

How does Bitcoin work?

With traditional money, transferring funds from one account to another requires some intermediary authority or middleman. Even with hand-to-hand cash transactions, the issue, value and fiscal policy of money is controlled by a trusted centralized authority (such as a bank, agency or government). Bitcoin operates differently in that no middleman is required in transactions as the trust between actors is derived from computer science and cryptology, rather than trust in a central establishment. It also means that Bitcoin is transferred directly from the sender to the receiver, with absolutely no intermediaries.

A key point to note is that because of this lack of central issuing body, cryptocurrency is created and transferred with the help of a process called “mining”. This process requires an extremely powerful computer to crunch down the billions of calculations required to solve cryptological functions.

In reality, the mining process is extremely complex and technical. Despite its complexity, the process is transparent and open for review due to the open-source nature of Bitcoin. 

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system. Its unique properties attract many followers and opponents. It’s impossible to tell whether Bitcoin will establish itself as the sole payment system for the internet, but for right now – there is significant interest and demand for it. The Bitcoin economy is still in its infancy and there are already many investors and people who are attracted by the prospects this new disrupting technology may bring.

The future of Bitcoin is unclear at the moment due to legal uncertainty (governments cannot issue it, but they can prohibit use), unstable exchange rates and subsequent lack of widespread (albeit rapidly growing) adoption. However, people familiar with Bitcoin and technology often note the similarities between Bitcoin’s ascendance and the rise of Internet in the 1990-2000s. When the Internet first emerged in the early 90s many experts underestimated the impact it would have on the world. It is often predicted Bitcoin will follow the same pattern. Until then, current users are embracing this truly innovative idea and are contributing to establishing a global bitcoin economy.
