Any news about HashX and LTCgear? Seems that some people is receiving payments.
There's no news on the HashX side. LTCGear is allowing people to make large maintenance payments to "resume mining" and receive payments. That doesn't seem like a smart idea for numerous reasons though, given their track record.
If you're interested in following along in others' experiences with LTCGear, the discussion tends to happen on the Litecointalk forums in the
Cloud Mining section.
