A while back I read someone was trying out a few sites that claimed to offer free cloud mining of Bitcoin. I tried BitMiner and StartMiner as all they required was a Bitcoin address. They claimed to pay 0.0006 btc per day and you can withdraw at 0.005 btc, i.e. after about 9 days. They seem to offer identical services so I wonder if they are run by the same people or at least use the same software.
I'm seeing some discussion that at least the first one doesn't pay out for a free account. I did reach the minimum, but it says my withdrawal is 'pending'. That may be due to me logging in with more than one Bitcoin address when I was playing with it. I see a couple of people used my referral link, but they won't lose anything apart from potential earnings. Maybe their paid options work, but the returns seem very high, so I have to wonder if it's for real. As with most things, offers that seem too good to be true often let you down. I apologise if I got anyone's hopes up. I won't be including those links any more and will double check any other schemes I try before sharing them.
I can say that Eobot does work if you buy some cloud capacity. I'm getting Steem from that after using a few dollars in btc I had from various faucets. I have ten referrals so far and one bought more than me. I get 1% of what they make. The break-even is up to over 21 months now due to the falling Bitcoin price, but the contract is five years, so I should get my money back in the end.
WowApp earns me a little too if people sign up to use their messaging client. It's only cents, but the app is not too bad with the option to play games to earn more. I do use the app and have some fellow Steemians on there.
I'm really just playing with these various schemes to see what they do. Maybe if you live somewhere where a few dollars can make a difference to your life they may be worth it. Meanwhile I can make dollars from a Steemit post and have some fun in the process. I expect that will be my main on-line income source for the time being.
Please support my open mic entry.
