for what it is worth, I have been using hashflare since 6/24/15. There have been only 2 hiccups that I am aware of, both were brought to my attention from hashflare and were remedied within 24 hours. I wouldn't have even known to be honest, if they didn't publicly announce it.

with that said, the cost is pretty high and scrypt is worthless (way too costly and impossible to get a return). The SHA is steady as a rock and i believe is profitable. They offer discounts randomly and that is when you should buy, if not, it will be a long wait.

Overall though, I believe they are legit. They have the pictures and the payouts are rocksteady.

just my .02
