A screenshot of a mining dashboard is not the same as a confirmed blockchain payout. If you want to verify a cloud-mining withdrawal, look for evidence that can be checked independently.
What to record
- Withdrawal request date and time
- Asset and network
- Amount requested
- Fees charged
- Destination address
- Transaction ID, if supplied
Check the blockchain
If a genuine on-chain transaction exists, a blockchain explorer can normally show its transaction status, amount, timestamp, and destination. Make sure the network matches the one you selected and that the destination address is correct.
Warning signs
- A provider refuses to provide transaction information without a credible explanation.
- You are asked to pay an unexpected fee before an alleged payout can be released.
- The transaction ID cannot be found on the stated network.
- The dashboard balance changes but no external payout occurs.
My quick check
I would never treat a screenshot as proof of a payout. I want to see a transaction that can be checked on the right blockchain. That one step removes a lot of confusion.
What a real payout should show
- A real transaction ID.
- The correct asset and network.
- The destination wallet address.
- An amount that matches the withdrawal.
- A timestamp that makes sense.
