Hello steemians,
Most of us when we first started in the cryptocurrency world searched about the ways that existed to get free crypto.
Of course nobody is going to give you anything for free so the first thing that appeared were some faucets such as https://freebitco.in/?r=4551041 (this is a refferal link) which are a good thing if you want to make some contact with cryptos but in the long-term you were not able to get much profit.
Since people started investing in Bitcoin mining some companies such as https://hashflare.io/r/CF781A17 (this is a refferal link) and https://www.genesis-mining.com/a/1000296 (this is a refferal link). This two sites and a few others are considered to be "legit" though they could still go down and scam everyone. Inside cloud mining there are another type of sites which can also be called Ponzi Schemes such as a site called Vix Ice and others with even the same template such as RapidMiners which do not pay anymore. This sites all have three things in common:
1- 100 GH/S for free
2- Very juicy affiliate programmes
3- High ROI investment (1% daily)
This sites worked for a couple of months or so and then disappeared.
I already knew all this sites were scams but I still signed up to take advantage of the free GH/S (notice I did not invest a single cent) and from some time to another this sites gave me small profits of 0.001 BTC , then the sites disappeared and people started asking how was it possible they run away (no surprise!).
Aurora Mine: https://www.auroramine.com/?ref=85752 (this is a refferal link)
This cloud mining site has the three things we talked about before with one difference, it promises a 10% daily of your investment and up to 16% LIFETIME !. Now, after reading this you might be thinking in two different things:
1- So if I invest one dollar I will be a millionaire in the next 5 years thanks to compound interest. (Such a hillarious thought)
2- Is anyone capable of even putting a cent into this?
Now, I am 99.99999% certain that this is a HUGE SCAM (notice that 0.00001% in case some miracle happens) but it seems that some people never learn, this is the reason I am making this blog post so that for your own good do not invest in this site or any similar ones you might find.
Now the real question: If you think it is a scam why have you signed up?
As I said before I try to take advantage of the 100 GH/S Free promotional offer and that is what I would recommend to anyone doing.
Minimum withdrawal is 0.0003 BTC and you can get over 2000 satoshis per day with the free GH/S
You can place in the comments how much time do you think this cloud mining site will last for before running away with the money.
And remember, try not to get RIPPED OFF
