Bitmain Brand Co-Opted by 'MangoCoin' in Cloud Miner Sale
- The little-known crypto has attempted to sell a "Bitmain Cloud Miner" that Bitmain claims to have no affiliation with.

MangoCoin (MGC), a little-known cryptocurrency, has fraudulently used the Bitmain brand in the sale of the so-called “Bitmain Cloud Miner,” according to a blog post by the cryptocurrency mining tech giant.
“‘Mangocoin (MGC)’ and its website, APP, social media accounts, WeChat groups, QQ groups, etc. are not business channels or platforms of Bitmain, and these have no connection or affiliation with us whatsoever,” the blog post states. “ The ‘Bitmain Cloud Miner’ on any platform of ‘Mangocoin (MGC)’ is not developed by Bitmain.”
Bitmain may also seek legal action against Mangocoin: “we resolutely adopt legal means to protect ourselves and our customers’ rights and interests.” Bitmain had not responded to requests for commentary at press time.
