How to choose a Cloud Mining product?

Binance offers different Cloud Mining products with different duration and electrical power fees. By looking at a product’s electricity/historical output ratio, you can estimate its rate of return.
For example, products with a higher electricity/historical output ratio are more likely to generate a higher rate of return when the crypto price rises. However, the losses may also be higher when the crypto price drops.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Total Hashrate Online Rate?

The Total Hashrate Online Rate refers to the total proportion of the subscription period when the hashrate from a purchased Cloud Mining product is delivered and online. This is a key performance indicator, which allows users to review their mining performance with the Cloud Mining product they have purchased.
Upon the end of your Cloud Mining product’s subscription period, you can view your Total Hashrate Online Rate via [Cloud Mining] - [My Orders] - [Earnings History]. Alternatively, you can calculate your Total Hashrate Online Rate for a Cloud Mining Product using the equation below:
Total Hashrate Online Rate = [Total hashrate delivered / (Hashrate purchased * Mining duration)] * 100%
  • Total hashrate delivered: Sum of all the hashrates delivered daily during the subscription period
  • Hashrate purchased: The daily hashrate amount purchased in your Cloud Mining product.
  • Mining duration: The subscription period of the Cloud Mining product, calculated from the time the computing power goes online. Measured in days.
Example:
Suppose that a user has completed a Cloud Mining order for a daily hashrate of 1 Th/s, and the mining duration for this order is 30 days.
If the total hashrate delivered over the subscription period is 28.85 Th/s, the user’s Total Hashrate Online Rate is equivalent to [28.85 Th/s / (1 Th/s * 30)] * 100% = 96.17%

2. What happens if the Total Hashrate Online Rate falls below 95%?

In line with the industry standard across various cloud mining platforms, Binance Pool will ensure a Total Hashrate Online Rate of at least 95% for all Cloud Mining products by the end of the corresponding subscription period.
If the Total Hashrate Online Rate falls below 95% during the subscription period due to force majeure events and other unforeseen factors, Binance Pool will implement the following measures to protect users' interests and ensure that the final Total Hashrate Online Rate is at least 95%:
  • In situations where Binance Pool determines that the delivery of mining hashrates can be restored shortly, the mining duration for the impacted Cloud Mining products will be extended accordingly to compensate users for the interruption.
  • If Binance Pool determines that the delivery of mining hashrates cannot be completed in the short term, all impacted users will receive a refund on the undelivered electricity fees and hashrate fees in their Spot Wallets within 30 working days.

3. What causes a temporary pause or substantial drop in Cloud Mining hashrate?

Mining hashrate for Cloud Mining product subscriptions may not be delivered in time due to force majeure and other unforeseen factors, such as power outages, electricity supply issues, site maintenance, or network problems.
Should this occur, Binance Pool will adopt the responses stated under the “What happens if the Total Hashrate Online Rate falls below 95%?” section, to best protect users’ interests.
