Cloud mining — done transparently

Traditional cloud mining has a poor track record — many well-known platforms (Genesis Mining, HashFlare and others) collapsed or were shut down, because buyers were often paying for a contract with no verifiable hardware behind it. HiveHash takes a different approach: you host or co-own real, identified ASIC machines whose output is verifiable on-chain through the mining pool. The hardware physically exists and is auditable.

In classic cloud mining you rent an abstract slice of "hashpower" from a provider with no way to verify the machine exists. In hosted mining you own a specific ASIC and place it in a professional facility — you can see the exact model, its pool output, and your power bill. Hosted mining is the transparent, asset-backed version of the same idea.

No. "Free cloud mining" sites are almost always designed to harvest sign-ups or funds and rarely pay out. Real mining has real costs — hardware, power and maintenance. HiveHash gives you the genuine version: hosting your own miner from $0.055/kWh, or co-owning real machines from $100 through fractional mining.

Through hosted or fractional mining you can mine Bitcoin (SHA-256 machines like the Antminer S21) or Litecoin and Dogecoin together (Scrypt machines like the ElphaPex DG1+). You choose the hardware and pool; the output is yours minus transparent hosting and management costs.

With transparent, asset-backed mining you can earn real returns, but traditional cloud-mining contracts often lost money because there was no verifiable hardware behind them. HiveHash only offers mining tied to real, identified machines with on-chain verifiable output.

The transparent alternatives are hosting your own ASIC (you own a specific machine in a professional facility) or fractional ownership (a share of real, identified miners). Both let you verify the hardware and its output, unlike typical cloud contracts.
