I have invested some .20 BTC in an online BTC Mining from February last year and my plan was not to trade in its internal trading section and left it running there to hopefully return in investment but it was a risk that I took which is a bad decision even though I know that ROIing is hard with not trading the mining power.

It had been a good thing if Bitcoin haven't fallen in value because now it seems that if the bear market continues from this point onwards then mining will be permanently stopped if the maintenance fee  will exceed  the profit for ten days and then the  mining rigs will be opened for redemption which I will have to pay for shipping if I want to get one which is not economically viable anymore.

__Their email to me says:__

> According to the AntMinerS9 Sales & Hashrate Hosting Contracts, __“If due to falling bitcoin exchange rate or increase in mining difficulty, the electricity fee is greater than 90% of mining revenues, mining contracts on Hashnest will enter a “redemption waiting period”.”__

 > You can note the maintenance/payout(PPS) is over 90% at present, as the below chart. HashNest now announces that S9 mining contacts have entered “redemption waiting period”. __Trading market of S9 hashrates will be permanently closed and will not be reopened once PPS exceeds 100% for a sustained period of ten continuous days.__    

 > You may need to prepare the redemption period if you have S9 hashrates. We will put another notice when the trading market is closed and S9 redemption period begins.

But BTC was only around $1,400 at the time of my investment so in a way I profited a little value-wise but not the BTC amount that I had put in. I pray that BTC value will go up in value from this day otherwise they will have to stop mining. I am still not selling my hashrate though and bite the bullet as taking the risk will surely payoff.

BTC at this point from last year is the starting point of the rally. If history will repeat itself then there is still hope that mining will not get affected so there is still hope to stay put and not panic sell like what is happening right now thereby driving Hasing power price at ridiculously low prices and still falling.

<center>__Price Of BTC At The Time Of My Investment__</center>

This is the price of BTC at the time of my investment so although I never had the opportunity to earn my BTC back, the value that I earn in a way is something like calling it "Quits." This is like fighting my medical condition, I will not stop hoping until my final capitulation because the risk to take is all worth it if miracle happens again for the crypto space.
