Dead: StormGain permanently shut down and migrated to YouHodler on 2025-01-13, and its celebrated 'free mining' was only an internal trading bonus, never purchasable hashrate.

StormGain is a cloud mining contract seller in our mining category, operating since 2019. Facts are reported as of 2026-09-24 - treat claims accordingly.
Offered (coins: BTC). Historically free/mining-while-you-trade plus a mining booster; no transparent per-TH contract pricing found in 2026. You do not own the underlying hardware unless the provider explicitly says otherwise - with a contract you hold a claim on hashrate or compute for a term, not an asset you can resell.
Minimum purchase: not documented. Contract term: not documented. Maintenance/fee: N/A / opaque.. Payouts: N/A (mining claims historically tied to trading volume).. Historically free/mining-while-you-trade plus a mining booster; no transparent per-TH contract pricing found in 2026. Where a term is not documented, assume it can change and get it in writing before paying.
Proof of hashrate/compute is not documented. A vendor claim is not proof: check for a payout address, a pool worker you can watch, or a hardware attestation before trusting a large contract.
StormGain has been criticised for opaque mining economics and for its unregulated/offshore-style operation. The 'free mining' hook is funded from trading, not from a transparent hashrate business. Classified 'watch' (not proven scam, but not verifiable). Noted concerns: . Facts not fully verified (reported) as of 2026-09-24 - start with the smallest possible purchase and test a payout before scaling up.
Documented pricing: not documented - see the provider site. Payment methods not documented. KYC: unknown. Compare prices only in the same unit - a per-TH/s-day figure and a per-GPU-hour figure are not the same product.
See the facts table above and compare with alternatives. Test with the smallest purchase and verify one payout before committing more - mining revenue moves with coin price and difficulty, so no contract is guaranteed.
| Documented price | see provider site |
|---|---|
| Payouts | ad hoc bonus credits (historical) · threshold 10 USDT mined before a bonus credit could be requested (historical) |
| Notes | No verifiable price. The historical product was not a purchasable per-TH contract: mining rewards were gated on trading volume and credited as an internal trading bonus. Archived page capped the claim at 'Mine up to 0.0318 BTC a day'. The current site sells nothing (cloud-mining URLs return 404). |

Access to BTC hashrate/compute. You do not own the hardware unless stated - the contract is the asset.
Documented pricing: not documented - see the provider site. Fees: N/A / opaque. - factor maintenance into any comparison.
No minimum is documented - confirm with the provider.
Payouts: N/A (mining claims historically tied to trading volume)..
Proof of hashrate/compute is not documented.
In a contract you own no hardware, so if the operator disappears the contract is likely worthless - the pattern behind several documented collapses in our Scam Watch.
If you cannot verify a payout and a clear term, buying the coin or owning a miner leaves you in control - run the numbers with our mining calculator first.
