In this video and blog post, I want to talk about how I tested out AutoHash and DeepHash, and how they suddenly disappeared. A month or so ago, I published two videos (and blog posts) where I was simply testing two crypto mining-style websites:
I want to be crystal clear about something, because I received a few comments suggesting I was “promoting a scam”. I wasn’t promoting anything.
I clearly said in both videos that I was testing the platforms, and I also said not to put money into them. I didn’t invest any money myself. My aim was to find out what would happen by using the “free” option and documenting the results.
How the Two Platforms Worked
Both AutoHash and DeepHash followed a similar pattern:
- You could start “earning” crypto for free.
- You could not withdraw until your balance reached $150.
- The idea was that you would build up to $150 and then withdraw (at least, that’s what the sites suggested).
I never reached the $150 withdrawal threshold on either platform. I was roughly halfway there, and each day I was restaking and letting the balance grow.
So What Happened?
Both sites are now down.
That’s the update, and that’s the reality of testing online platforms in this space. Sometimes a platform runs for a while and then disappears. That is exactly why I test things cautiously and document what I’m doing as I go along.
Why I Test These Things in Public
I understand why people are cautious. There are plenty of questionable platforms online, and the crypto space attracts a lot of hype.
But I also think there is value in testing things openly and showing people what actually happens. I’d rather do a careful test and report back than pretend everything is perfect.

What I’m Doing Instead
If you like crypto, I am involved in something else, and I started with it in June 2025. It has changed a little since then, but in my personal experience I have made money from it, and I believe it has improved over time for longer-term sustainability.
I’m not going to try and explain the full platform in this post, because this blog post is mainly an update about AutoHash and DeepHash closing down. But if you want to learn what I’m doing now, you can start here:

Final Thoughts
I’m going to add a pinned comment on the YouTube videos to let people know that AutoHash and DeepHash are now down.
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below, and I’ll do my best to help. And if you want me to do a more detailed video walking through what I’m doing now (and why), let me know in the comments.
Thanks for reading.
