Escrow for Crypto Mining Contracts and Cloud Mining Deals

Cloud mining — renting hash power or buying a share of a mining operation — has a terrible reputation. Dozens of platforms have exit-scammed with hundreds of millions in customer funds. But legitimate mining resales and contract transfers do happen. The problem is distinguishing real deals from fraud. Escrow is the tool that makes that distinction possible.

Types of mining deals we see

• Resale of an existing cloud mining contract (e.g., Genesis, NiceHash legacy contracts).
• Sale of physical mining hardware with hosting included.
• Fractional ownership of a mining farm or ASIC pool.
• Transfer of a mining SaaS dashboard or automation tool.

Red flags in mining deals

• Guaranteed returns or 'daily profit' promises — legitimate mining has variable returns.
• Seller cannot provide pool-side hash rate data or wallet payout history.
• No verifiable physical location for hosted hardware.
• Seller pushes for direct payment instead of escrow.

Escrow verification for mining deals

For cloud mining contract resales, the seller must provide login credentials to the mining dashboard so the buyer can verify active hash rate and recent payouts. For hardware sales, escrow releases in two tranches: 50% on proof of hardware existence (video walkthrough with timestamp), 50% on confirmed hosting transfer and first payout. We do not escrow deals where the seller cannot prove the asset exists and is currently producing.
