It is for this purpose that the platform has the opportunity for each small investor to hand over his coins to another, receiving a percentage of mining
On the platform there is a service of output of cryptocurrencies in regular units with a fairly loyal Commission
And one of the important advantages that are worth mentioning is the advanced functionality of the platform. For it available plugins, for example, for Google Chrome, which greatly optimize its operation.
Cons
First, during the platform's operation since its launch in 2016, many users have noted periodic failures, rather comparable to the bugs that are inherent in any services of this kind. However, these small nuances can take away valuable time from users, and can also cause a short-term drop in the value of coins.
