Do you remember the mining machine selling project from 2021? It’s all tears when you think about it. At that time, they targeted the Chinese region specifically, making various adjustments to compute power distribution and changing rules, one scheme after another.

The most outrageous part was the change in the payback period—initially claiming it would take 3 days to break even, then it was extended to 30 days, then stretched further to 300 days, and finally it became 3000 days😂.

Looking back now, these are classic scam tactics: first attracting people with high returns to buy mining machines, then gradually squeezing profit margins, and finally changing the rules to cut a wave and run. The lesson is that any mining project promising high returns should be approached with caution, especially those targeting only specific regions—most likely, there’s no good news behind it.

3000 days? Haha, that's hilarious. Isn't this just a direct showdown? --- Back then, some people really believed they could break even in 3 days. I didn't expect that. --- The tactic of "cutting leeks" in China is so common now. Changing the disguise and doing it again. --- Changing the rules until it finally becomes impossible to break even forever. Incredible. --- Don't touch any mining machine projects. I make this very clear. --- From 3 days to 3000 days, this math problem is really "smart." --- How are the people who entered back then doing now? Just thinking about it hurts.

3 becomes 30, becomes 300, becomes 3000, this trick made me f***ing laugh, it's truly brilliant.

Turning 3 into 3000, that's really incredible haha --- It's the same old trick again, how are there still people jumping in --- I just want to know where those people are now enjoying themselves --- Adjusting the return period like this, it really tires my brain for them --- Regional scalping definitely causes damage, I've never seen such blatant behavior --- From 3 days to 3000 days, this math problem is well taught --- Every time I see this, I get so angry, how many people lost everything --- Learned my lesson, I’ll just pass on projects like this in the future --- High returns + targeting only certain regions = certain death, remember this formula --- Laughing to death, they really think we're fools

3 days to 3000 days, that's almost a joke --- The wave of mining machine scams in China is really incredible; anyone who gets involved will regret it --- I just remember someone was still defending the market back then, now I guess they’ve already deleted their comments --- High returns promised basically mean: come and get scammed --- That group of project teams probably left the country long ago; those who haven't are damn unlucky --- Why do some people still believe in mining machine projects? Isn't the lesson from 2021 enough? --- This is only targeting China for scams; this operation is really brazen --- Thinking about it now makes me sick; back then, some people really threw hundreds of thousands in --- That method of distributing computing power, it's just like changing numbers to scam money

3000 days to break even? Laughing out loud, that's basically saying "We're running away" explicitly.

3 days to 3000 days, this math is really incredible haha --- Did anyone really believe they could break even in 3 days? I just want to laugh --- Targeting Chinese people openly, they really don’t take us seriously --- These types of projects are still scams, but they just change the name to keep deceiving --- Damn, I’ve also been caught by this trick before. Now just seeing the word 'mining machine' makes me nauseous --- Basically, it’s just a Ponzi scheme with a new coat of paint --- As long as new recruits keep coming in, they will never stop --- Got it, it’s just about patching the east wall after tearing down the west wall
