Three years gallop: what could be interesting to reread on the HashFlare blog

Unbelievable, but true: the cloud mining blog HashFlare on Habré turned three years old. Our first entry, “ How Bitcoin Production Changed: From CPU to Cloud Mining, ” was published on June 7, 2015 at the then very young “Giktymes”. It is this Russian-language blog that became the first permanent HashFlare blog at all. But that was only the beginning.


Just the first picture

Over the past three years, we have changed as quickly as the entire crypto market. Our user base has long been global and multilingual - so Medium has become our main blog, in which we speak the user literally in his language: English, Spanish, Chinese, etc. Of course, this happened before Habr announced its plans to become the same multilingual platform, which we now wait with great interest - because when that happens, Habr.com will become, among other things, an alternative to the same “Medium "A platform for corporate blogs already on a global scale.

In the meantime, we just remember the most interesting posts that we published on Hiktrems / Habré over the past three years.

About us

We decided to start with the main thing : telling us why we are leasing facilities for bitcoin mining . The answer to one of the most frequent questions to us turned out to be simple: Bitcoins will not pay wages, you will not pay office and electricity. However, users who have assumed that earnings in Fiat remain a more stable financial model than only in a crypt are not mistaken either. However, all our free capacity still minyat round the clock.

In 2016, we invited one of the habrowsers to Tallinn to tell and show how our farm looked at that time in the “ How to build your data center ” report.



We know, it is indecent to brag about views, but one hundred forty one thousand views is one hundred forty one thousand views.

And, finally, a rather unexpected, but necessary post: “ How scammers try to impersonate HashFlare and sell non-existent services .” Scammers trying to profit from a successful business are not a shock in themselves, but the arrogance and ingenuity of some of them are striking. We wrote this article to help our users at least a little better to navigate this whirlpool of crypto-business.

The effectiveness of cloud mining

One of Habrayuser, part-time, being a client of HashFlare, shared his personal mining experience and assessments of its effectiveness in a small series of posts throughout the year.

1. " Cloud mining: intermediate results " July 2016,
2. " Cloud mining: results for the year " in December 2016,
3. "The results of cloud mining in May: up to 379% per annum " - in June 2017

This view from the outside was very interesting to both us and the audience. It would be great if our users continue this tradition - we are waiting for such reports with interest already according to 2018 data.

Pro bitcoin

But basically our blog is, of course, about bitcoin and crypto phones. In addition to seeing its news, we do not forget more subtle and deeper matters - such as the very nature of cryptocurrency, their role in the global financial system and its future in such articles as “ Is there a link between gold and bitcoin ”, “ Trump 's victory: stock markets are falling, bitcoin and gold are growing ”and“ Where bitcoin goes: forecasts and opinions of professional investors who invested in it long before the boom ”. The years go by, and most importantly remains the same: we believe in the crypt. And you?
