Experiment completed – Ruby Mine is dead

13. May 2022 by digital-coin.net Leave a Comment

Remember when I started the experiment with Ruby Mine, a miner promising up to 8% profit daily? In this article? Well, the project is dead. Did I make money with it?

So I invested a tiny mount of roughly 20 USD in form of 0.25 Avax in Ruby Mine. With the 6:1 recommended – not to say enforced – methodology to reinvest 6 days in a row and only claim on the 7th day, I should have made my investment back into about 3 months. And I almost adhered to the 6:1 pattern as advised, only 1 exception, as you see further down.

So in the first week, I made the following rewards:

19.04.22Rewards0.00400
20.04.22Rewards0.01400
21.04.22Rewards0.01500
22.04.22Rewards0.01300
23.04.22Rewards0.01100
24.04.22Rewards0.01000
25.04.22Take profits0.01000

As you see, the rewards increased in the beginning, but already during the first week it started to slow down a bit. I took profits on the 7th day as advised. Here you also have to consider the transaction fee which were about 0.006 Avax, which leaves only 0.004, not only half of the claimed reward in reality. If my understanding is correct, these transaction are not only defined by the (Avalance) protocol, but also by the Ruby Mine smart contract. If you take profits, the fees where always roughly 3 times higher then rehiring.

Second week looked like this:

26.04.22Rewards0.00800
27.04.22Rewards0.00700
28.04.22Rewards0.00700
29.04.22Rewards0.00600
30.04.22Rewards0.00600
01.05.22Rewards0.00600
02.05.22Take profits0.00500

I guess you noted already the steady decline of the profits, didn’t you? Bravely as I am I took the “profit” on the 7th day again which was about 0.005 Avax with a transaction fee of around 0.01155. Correct, that is not a profit anymore; its a loss at the end.

Lets have a look at the third week:

03.05.22Rewards0.00400
04.05.22Rewards0.00400
05.05.22Rewards0.00400
06.05.22Rewards0.00400
07.05.22Rewards0.00300
08.05.22Rewards0.00300
10.05.22Take profits0.00400

Even so I increased my Rubies in the mine constantly due to rehiring, stayed stable or even decreased also in the 3rd week. I didn’t rehire on the 9th, as the transaction costs exceeded the potential amount to rehire. I processed the rehiring then the next morning expecting that a couple of hours do not “violate” the protocols expectation and at the same time not paying more transaction fees then the reinvested amount. That probably worked. Taking profits again, was not really taking profits: The transactions costs were again higher then the claimable amount: 0.004 and a fee of 0.01169. Again a loss.

I stopped the documentation then as the numbers declined even further. Well, as you know, the whole market dumped. And with these dumps, also the Telegram group and the Twitter account disappeared suddenly, Discord changed to Meta Miners, and with that Ruby Mine was and is a thing of the past. Not too many will miss it I guess…

Conclusion

So what did we learn from this little experiment:

  • If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Well, no one really believed in a sustainable project providing 8% profit daily in the long run without any other income stream besides bringing more people and their cash into the system.
  • If you still invest into a ponzi-scheme you have to be one of the first. But even then it is quite unlikely that you still make a profit as the system, like in this case, might run out of liquidity before you make your money back. Unless you bring a lot of referrals into the system and you profit from them indirectly in addition.
  • If you still like to invest, you have to ensure your profits are higher then the transactions costs. So don’t invest such a tiny amount into these systems as I did for this experiment.

Up to 8% daily? Lets give it a try – Enter the Ruby Mine

19. April 2022 by digital-coin.net Leave a Comment

Lately I was investigating in these so called high yield farming or auto-compounding protocols. Usually I avoid high risks investments, as it is against my personal risk appetite, but I will make an exception to learn something new and discover new fields within the DeFi world. So more to come in the next days as I explore further protocols and also invest into these.

So disclaimer first: Nothing here is financial advise, only my own personal experience and opinion. DYOR.

So what is Ruby Mine?

In short, it is a high risk, but also high reward protocol running on the Avalanche chain. The Whitepaper covers a tiny story about adventurers who discovered a thousands mile long mine and you can hire miners to mine ruby’s for you. The promise is up to 8% daily return in AVAX. Let’s test that.

How is this sustainable?

The liquidity is provided by i) the transaction fee’s: With every buy or sell transaction you pay a fee of 8%. Although the white paper states 6% go into development and 2% into marketing. Also ii) the recommendation is to compound 6 days and withdraw only on day 7. Otherwise there is a decrease of rewards implemented int he protocol. And iii) liquidity is available as long as new users are entering the ruby mines, resp. the contract. There is also a referral system implemented… Did I hear someone saying ponzi-nomics? So if you think to give it a try, better be quick is my impression. The project runs only since April 2022, so still early days I guess…

So lets give this a try:

Prerequisite:

You need Meta Mask connected to the Avalance C-Chain with some AVAX sitting in it. Given this is a high risk investment, just to mention it again, I put only a tiny amount into it. To stay within my risk appetite.

Steps to mine

  1. Then head over to www.rubymine.money and connect your Meta Mask (referral link)
  2. Enter the amount of AVAX you are willing to invest (I invested only 0.25 AVAX, again, high risk)
  3. Read and accept the disclaimer
  4. Click on “Hire Miners”
  5. Profit (soon)

Compounding and taking profits

Once you went for a nap, the next day, you go back to your “mines” and click – as recommended by the whitepaper – on “Re-Hire”. Remember the 6-1 cycle: Re-hire miners 6 times per week and take profits 1 time per week. Taking profits too often will exhaust your mine and therefore decrease your earnings in the short and in the long run. So rehire Day 1 – 6 and on the 7th day you can hit “Collect” to take your deserved profits.

So lets see how and especially how long these mines provide profit. Will provide an update on this shortly.
