Power Mining Pool operate in the cryptocurrency MLM niche and are headed up by Andrew and Mike Conti.

The Power Mining Pool website is hosted in France. At the time of publication Alexa estimates the UK is the largest source of traffic to the Power Mining Pool website (54%).

Other than representing Andrew and Mike Conti are brothers based out of Europe, no specifics are provided.

On the Power Mining Pool website, the Conti brothers are represented by cartoon avatars. I had a poke around for their MLM histories and turned up nothing, which I’m flagging as highly suspicious.

As always, if an MLM company is not openly upfront about who is running or owns it, think long and hard about joining and/or handing over any money.

Power Mining Pool Products

Power Mining Pool has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Power Mining Pool affiliate membership itself.

The Power Mining Pool Compensation Plan

Power Mining Pool affiliates invest €50 EUR on the promise of an advertised €70 EUR ROI.

Referral commissions are available on funds invested by recruited affiliates, paid out via a unilevel compensation structure.

A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):

If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.

If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.

Power Mining Pool cap payable unilevel levels at ten, with commissions paid out as a percentage of funds invested across these ten levels:

  • level 1 (personally recruited affiliates) – 10%
  • level 2 – 5%
  • level 3 – 4%

Conclusion

The ruse behind Power Mining Pool’s €70 EUR ROI is cryptocurrency trading.

In the Power Mining Pool backoffice it’s represented that the company generates revenue through altcoin mining and “currency exchange”.

Altcoins purportedly mined by Power Mining Pool include: Ethereum, Burst, GameCredits, Dash, Iota, Nem and Monero.

Naturally Power Mining Pool provide no proof of any cryptocurrency mining or trading taking place.

That aside, Power Mining Pool’s business model makes little sense. If Andrew and Mike Conti were able to legitimately generate consistent trading volume enough to pay affiliates and support an MLM compensation plan, why would they be sharing it with randoms over the internet?

The only verifiable source of revenue entering Power Mining Pool is affiliate investment, the use of which to pay affiliate ROIs makes Power Mining Pool a Ponzi scheme.

On top of that referral commissions paid out on affiliate investment add a pyramid layer to the scheme.

As with all Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dies out so too will new funds entering the system. That will leave Power Mining Pool unable to meet its advertised ROI obligations, eventually prompting a collapse.

Mathematics guarantees that in order for a few to make money, the majority of investors in a Ponzi scheme must lose it.
