Ethereum cloud mining experiment - #1 Buying the contract

in #ethereum7 years ago

Hi guys,

I just recently bought a 2 years cloud mining contract at genesis-mining.com for Ethereum with 5 MH/s of mining power which has cost me 150$.

Since I did some research and apparently the difficulty for ETH mining is going up exponentially, I decided to mine the good old Ether Classis ETC for which the difficulty should not skyrocket like for ETH.

According to the calulations I made, I would be at the break-even point after exactly 237.17 days, given that there are no changes in price or difficulty. So in practice I can say that I would be happy to at least be break-even after the first year.

Below you can see my calculations which I made at coinwarz.com:

Now I'm planning to do a weekly review of my real earnings and experiences compared to what the calculations are promissing and at the end of the month I will also recapture the number of the whole month. 

So now please let me know your thoughts about this. Let's see if cloud mining is a scam or if you cann really make a (small) profit out of it. 

If you are planning to buy a cloud mining contract at genesis-mining.com anyway, feel free to use my promotion code and you will get a discount of 3%: OSwMQI

Thank you and have a good day!

Nice, thank you. Give me your code and I will use it for my next order!
