Verdict up front: Thunder Mine is a cloud mining app that asks you to buy a mining contract and then wait for Bitcoin to appear in a balance you do not control. We could not verify a single piece of mining hardware behind it, and we could not verify a single completed withdrawal. Treat any money you put in as money you may not get back.

What Thunder Mine actually sells
The listing describes remote Bitcoin mining. You are not mining anything on your phone. A phone processor cannot compete with purpose-built mining machines, and any app that claims otherwise is describing something that does not happen. What Thunder Mine sells is a contract, which is a promise that hardware somewhere else will mine on your behalf and pay you a share.
That promise is only as good as the company making it. So the first question is not how much the plan pays. The first question is who is on the other side of the contract, where the machines are, and what happens if they stop paying. On Thunder Mine we could answer none of those three.
The developer is listed as Nexora Innovations. We found no company registration, no registered office, no named directors and no audited accounts under that name. There is no facility address, no photograph of a mining hall that we could match to a real location, and no third party confirming that any hashrate exists.
The number that gives it away
Cloud mining that is genuine is a low margin business. Operators buy machines, pay industrial electricity rates, and take a cut. The returns they can offer a retail customer are modest, and they move up and down with the Bitcoin price and with mining difficulty. A real operator therefore quotes a hashrate you rent, not a fixed daily profit.
Apps in this category do the opposite. They quote a fixed daily figure, which is the one thing a real miner cannot promise, because difficulty rises and the coin price moves. A fixed daily return on a mining contract is not an attractive offer. It is a sign that no mining is taking place, because only a business paying out of new deposits can promise a number that mining itself cannot deliver.
The store graphics do show hashrate figures, with mining speeds in GH per second displayed next to each machine in the app interface. That is worth being precise about, because a number on a screen is not the same as hashrate you own. No pool account is named where that hashrate could be seen mining, no facility is identified, and no third party confirms any of it. The balance you watch climb is a number in the app in exactly the same way. It is not a Bitcoin transaction, it costs the operator nothing to display, and it can be adjusted or reset. Nothing has happened on any blockchain until a withdrawal completes to an address you control.
⚠ Verified evidence — checked 25 September 2026
- No company registration traced for Nexora Innovations
- In-app GH per second figures shown in the graphics, but no pool account or facility to verify them
- Fixed daily returns advertised, which real mining cannot guarantee
- Balances shown in app only, with no on-chain transaction behind them
- Withdrawal complaints follow the fee-before-payout pattern
How the withdrawal wall works
The complaint pattern on apps of this type is consistent, and it is worth knowing in advance because it is what you will run into. Small early withdrawals sometimes clear. They are cheap for the operator and they are the reason users recommend the app to other people. The problem starts when the balance is large enough to matter.
At that point a condition appears that was not disclosed when you paid. A minimum payout threshold sits just above your balance. A verification fee has to be cleared first. A network fee has to be funded from outside the app. An upgrade is needed to unlock the withdrawal tier you are on. Each of these asks for more money to release money you were told you already had.
If you are ever asked to send a payment in order to receive a payment, the answer is no. That request is the scam, not an obstacle on the way to your funds. No legitimate operator needs a deposit from you to send you your own balance.
How to check an app like this in five minutes
Search the developer name outside the store. A real mining operator has a company record, a physical site and a trading history you can find. If the only places the name appears are the app listing and pages promoting the app, there is no company.
Ask for the mining address. Genuine operators mine into a pool and can show you the account. If nobody will name a pool or show you a payout address, there is no hashrate.
Read the one and two star reviews, not the average. Sort for the recent ones. On these apps the average is held up by users who have deposited but not yet tried to withdraw, and the failures collect at the bottom where the rating does not show them.
Our view: Thunder Mine asks for money up front against a mining operation we cannot confirm exists. There is no verifiable company, no verifiable hardware and no verifiable payout history. If you have already deposited, stop adding funds and do not pay any fee presented as a condition of withdrawal.
