You may have noticed that Z-mining threads are popping up every 24 hours ‘comparing’ their ‘service’ to other cloud hashing providers.

**[Z-mining.com](http://Z-mining.com) is most likely a SCAM, and they have had multiple sock puppet accounts banned in the last month.**

DO NOT invest with them without doing your own due diligence, They claim to be ‘an old cloud mining company’ and ‘industry leaders’ but the domain is 3 weeks old, the ‘owners’ are anonymous and there is zero proof that they own hardware or software.

**If someone from the Z-mining team would like to argue otherwise I will happily update the post, but please stop posting from new users every 24 hours, it’s annoying and does not further your cause.**

If you try to go to their website now, all you get is a “parked domain” notice from GoDaddy. So, they either took the Bitcoin and ran, or they’ve got DNS problems.

I’ll take ‘took the Bitcoin and ran’ for $200 Alex. And if my post saved some money from being scammed, even better.
