What is Cloud Mining? (PoW)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does cloud mining mean on Bloxios

Cloud mining on Bloxios allows users to participate in the Proof of Work (PoW) process, which is essential for transaction validation and security of a PoW blockchain network. Users contribute computational power through our platform, facilitating the mining process without directly managing the hardware.
 

2. How does cloud mining work?

When you engage in cloud mining, you are providing computational resources to a PoW blockchain network. This participation assists in solving complex mathematical problems required to validate transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain. In recognition of this contribution, the blockchain protocol may issue network distributions, reflecting the computational effort and participation, not investment returns.
 

3. Is cloud mining considered an investment?

No, cloud mining is not deemed an investment as traditionally defined. It is an active participation in the validation process of a PoW blockchain network. Bloxios offers cloud mining as a technological service, not as a financial product. There is no implied promise of profit, and network distributions are based on the completion of mining activities and the network's protocols.
 

4. Are there rewards for cloud mining?

The term "rewards" may be misconstrued; hence, we use the term "network distributions" for cloud mining. These distributions are issued by the blockchain protocol in recognition of the computational work performed and are not guaranteed nor should they be considered a regular return on an investment.
 

5. Can I lose my contribution in cloud mining?

Participation in cloud mining comes with its set of risks, similar to other blockchain activities. While the contributions you make are towards computational efforts, external factors such as market fluctuations, changes in mining difficulty, or protocol adjustments can impact the outcome. Users should be fully aware of these risks and consider them carefully.
 

6. How long is the cloud mining period on Bloxios?

Users can engage in cloud mining for periods ranging from a minimum of 6 months up to a maximum of 5 years, based on their preference. This period is established at the onset and must be completed, as early termination is not available.
 

7. What happens during the cloud mining process?

Your contribution to the cloud mining process provides the necessary computational work to the PoW blockchain. This process is automated and managed through Bloxios, allowing you to contribute without the need for personal mining hardware.
 

8. Can I terminate my cloud mining contract early?

The minimum period for cloud mining on the Bloxios platform is 6 months. When you commit to cloud mining, your participation is locked for the duration you selected. Early termination of the cloud mining process is not permitted, ensuring the stability and predictability of the network's computational resources.
 

9. How does Bloxios ensure regulatory compliance?

Bloxios adheres to regulatory requirements and is structured to ensure that cloud mining services are in compliance with the Howey test. By focusing on participation in a technological process, we maintain that our services are not financial investments and do not offer returns based on the efforts of others.
