A team of Blockchain programming experts and IT engineers founded IQ Mining in late 2016.

It mines the most profitable altcoins and then trades the altcoins for Bitcoin.

Put on your discovery cap and let’s go find out together.

IQ Mining Overview

IQ Mining

IQ Mining is a cloud mining company formed in 2016 by IT engineers and a team of experts on Blockchain programming.

The recent members of its altcoins mining team are from different industries but their common interest in cryptocurrency brought them together.

There is no known owner but there is a George Virsky mentioned as the IQ Mining Engineer on the site and was also seen speaking with a Russian accent in the company’s video.

IQ Mining aims for maximum efficiency per hash rate. To achieve this, all its mining contracts rely on the performance of the most efficient mining hardware.

It has 143,901 existing customers, has made 56,024,821 total payouts in USD, sold 119,954 total power, and gets 413 new clients per day.

The company has its data centres in Canada, Russia, Iceland, Georgia, Algeria, and China.

Some of the most popular and used cryptocurrencies mined by IQ include:

The altcoins are then converted to Bitcoin.

This is the background knowledge about IQ Mining.

Next, I will be discussing the services the company offers.

Read on to the next part.


Contracts and Referral Program in IQ Mining

Contracts

The mining contracts in IQ Mining are available for these specified periods:

  • 1 Year
  • 2 Years
  • 5 Years
  • Lifetime

Each of these specified periods has contracted under 3 categories: Bronze, Silver, and Gold from which miners can choose from.

The company uses the SHA 256, SHA 256 Pro, and Equihash algorithms to mine.

Using these different algorithms, it takes on the mining of 10 major coins and more than 100 altcoins.

To achieve this, it takes on the ‘Smart Mining‘ strategy.

Here, it carries out constant market analysis and mines only the most profitable coins which it trades using its rapid API connections to several crypto exchanges.

The hardware used for mining is SHA 256 and GPU mining rigs (for Ethereum).

There is also a 7-day free trial; just like the 4-week Demo Plan that Hashing 24 has.

How to Purchase a Contract

The minimum purchase rate is as follows:

  • Scrypt = 30MH/s
  • SHA 256 = 100GH/s
  • Ethereum = 500KH/s
  • Zcash = 50H/s
  • Dash = 30MH/s

Now, to purchase a contract, do the following:

  1. Click on the ‘Start Mining Now’ button and it will take you to the Registration page to open an account.

Or to the Login page if already registered.

IQ Mining Login Page
  1. On the Registration page, input your name, surname, phone number, email address, and password.
  2. Then check the Terms and Conditions box and another under it confirming its service is provided for you outside the US.
  3. Click on the ‘Register’ button to create an account.IQ REG. FORM
IQ Registration
  1. 6. You will then fund your account using your crypto wallet by pressing on ‘Funds-Purchase. There, you will see all the available methods for depositing.
  2. 7. Select a payment method and follow the instructions.

Supported payment methods include:

  1. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other altcoins
  2. Bank cards (Visa/ MasterCard)
  3. Perfect Money, WebMoney, PayPal, e.t.c
  4. Wire transfer

A maintenance fee is applicable to all contracts and can be viewed in the contract details.

Payouts and Withdrawal

You will start receiving your mining payouts 24 hours after the purchase of the contract.

The payouts are made daily in Bitcoin; just like in Nuvoo Mining.

The exceptions are in 2 years, 5 years, and Lifetime contracts where Ethereum is mined and payouts are daily in Ethereum.

Mining payouts are dependent on the market price of Bitcoin and mining difficulty.

Account balances are updated once a day but sometimes, due to system override, balances might update only once in 48 hours.

To withdraw, make a request in the ‘Funds’ section.

Your transaction will be processed and sent back to the depositing wallet within 24 hours

The minimum withdrawal amount is equivalent to $10 in contract currency.

Reinvestment Option

Similar to HashFlare, IQ Mining also has the reinvestment option which helps to maximize returns.

Reinvesting increases your mining contract and further increases your returns too.

You can turn on the auto reinvesting tool and choose the part of your mining income to reinvest or withdraw.

Monthly Giveaways

IQ Mining also organizes giveaways for each month where valuable prizes like iPhone Xs Max, New MacBook Air, and Bose headphones.

The winners of the August giveaway have been revealed on the site.

To participate in the giveaway, you need to purchase a minimum of $100 contracts.

Referral Program

Here, we find IQ Mining’s Referral Program unlike that of CCG Mining where you make a 6% gain from your referrals.

In IQ Mining Referral Program, you make 10% off your clients’ purchase.

To do this, share your Referral link. You’ll earn a 10% commission on each purchase made by your clients.

You can then transfer your earnings to any contract.

Pretty easy, isn’t it?

I will go on now to talk about the high points and the flaws of IQ Mining.

IQ Mining Legitimacy: Can It Be Proven?

Cloud mining has a number of advantages over hardware mining.

But the major responsibility lies in finding a credible cloud mining platform.

To answer the question about the legitimacy of IQ Mining, I will reel out facts about the company, some of which I had mentioned earlier.

  1. While founded in late 2016, the domain was officially registered on July 16, 2017, as shown on whois.com.
  2. No information about the founders except the mentioned engineer, George Virsky.
  3. Mines more than 100 altcoins.
  4. Uses the ‘Smart Mining’ strategy where the most profitable coins are mined.
  5. Trades these altcoins for Bitcoin which is used for payouts.
  6. It has great online support.

Note: This post is not financial advice. Please seek guidance from relevant experts.

There are many scam sites online parading as the real ones.

Always look (I will add ‘very well’) before you take that giant investment leap.
