Antpool (cloud mining)
AntPool's prepaid fixed-term cloud-hashrate product (S19 XP BTC packages): pay the hashrate fee up front, electricity is deducted daily from output; the only live SKU was sold out.
A brand-takeover scam cluster: the re-registered hashshiny.io serves a dead storefront and injected gambling spam, while .co/.pro clones run a generic HYIP under a false UK FCA registration claim tied to a dissolved company.

HashShiny is a cloud mining contract seller in our mining category, operating since 2017. Facts are unverified as of 2026-09-24 - treat claims accordingly.
Offered (coins: BTC, LTC, DOGE, ETC, ZEC, DASH). Explicit per-hashrate 2-year contracts (observed 2026-09-24): BTC $0.55 per 10 GH/s (min 10 GH/s, Whatsminer M30, maint. You do not own the underlying hardware unless the provider explicitly says otherwise - with a contract you hold a claim on hashrate or compute for a term, not an asset you can resell.
Minimum purchase: not documented. Contract term: not documented. Maintenance/fee: Explicit separate daily maintenance fees per contract (see above); deducted from output.. Payouts: 'Automatic payout every day' in contract currency.. Explicit per-hashrate 2-year contracts (observed 2026-09-24): BTC $0.55 per 10 GH/s (min 10 GH/s, Whatsminer M30, maint. Where a term is not documented, assume it can change and get it in writing before paying.
Proof of hashrate/compute is not documented. Claims cold-wallet storage, McAfee/Cloudflare 'protection' badges (marketing; not audits). A vendor claim is not proof: check for a payout address, a pool worker you can watch, or a hardware attestation before trusting a large contract.
Has a dedicated hate community (r/FuckHashshiny). Reddit accusations include impersonating Bit Digital's name/logo (2025). Reviewers have flagged HashShiny as resembling a HYIP. It remains online, hence 'watch' rather than 'dead'; do not treat as verified. Noted concerns: . Facts not fully verified (unverified) as of 2026-09-24 - start with the smallest possible purchase and test a payout before scaling up.
Documented pricing: $0.00. Payment methods not documented. KYC: unknown. Compare prices only in the same unit - a per-TH/s-day figure and a per-GPU-hour figure are not the same product.
See the facts table above and compare with alternatives. Test with the smallest purchase and verify one payout before committing more - mining revenue moves with coin price and difficulty, so no contract is guaranteed.

A real, operating provider can still lose you money: with a contract you own no hardware, revenue follows coin price and difficulty, and most published contracts are priced so the seller comes out ahead. "Legit" means the operator exists and pays what its terms promise - not that the deal is profitable. 15 dated sources back this page; they are listed under sources.
Same category, scored on the same criteria - so the comparison stays honest. Compare only in the same unit, and read the minimum, KYC and proof columns before switching.
