Bitcoin cloud mining experiment: Will I ever reach ROI with Hashing24 ? Mining fans won't like my conclusion!
Part 2 of my Bitcoin cloud mining experiment: Will I ever reach "Return of Investment" /ROI or more?
The graph below illustrates the change in daily mined Bitcoins upscaled to a 1 TH/s mining contract of MinerGate/Hashing 24.
Within one month of mining, the amount of mined Bitcoins was reduced by 22,9 %.
Calculating this let my jaw drop!
What does this mean for my contract ?
Within the next 5 month I will have no returns and/or the daily maintenance fee will exceed the mining outcome - leading to a cancelled "lifetime" contract....
As for the numbers: Assuming that the 22,9% (0,0019486083 BTC) reduction stays constant, I will mine:
Month 1: 0,0085091980 BTC
Month 2: 0,0065605917 BTC
Month 3: 0,0046119800 BTC
Month 4: 0,0026633700 BTC
Month 5: 0,0007147600 BTC
Hence: 0,0230599 BTC will be mined at current price of 2525 USD which equals 58,23 USD but I will have paid 199,50 USD!
Ok, this is influenced by the price of Bitcoin and the mining difficulty, but it is unlikely that the Bitcoin price will rise that much to compensate the 22,9% reduction. Please read Part 1 explaining why the amount of mined Bitcoins will decrease over time and the checked contracts of the different companies.
I don't think that I will ever reach ROI with a MinerGate aka Hashing24 contract.
For legally reasons, I will not tell you to avoid such a contract - please come to your own conclusion!
In part 3 I check out the Hashflare contract and of course I keep you up to date about the future payout developments.

That´s right most people don´t calculate well their cloud mining contracts profit and roi. Hash24 is very expensive compared to hashflare and genesis mining, maybe because they rent their mining power from bitfury? Anyway I don´t see any reason to prefer hasing24 over other alternatives. Also you must not take into account the possible rise in bitcoin price to calculate your mining contract profitability, as you can take the same profit from just holding your coins. I made and article about genesis mining roi and break even point and it takes more or less 10 months to get your initial investment back, with hashing24 should be significantly more. cheers.
Hi, thanks for your reply!
I didn't take the bitcoin price into consideration. I only look at the amount of mined coins every day. The price in terms of USD comes into play at the end of the game, when the contract gets cancelled. The mentioned USD were a forecast in case the price of BTC stays constant and the amount of mined BTC decreases (due of difficulty rise?) in the same speed as it did last month.
"with hashing24 should be significantly more"
I see that the contract gets cancelled before ever getting ROI. Since every day the mined BTC decrease significantly. Yesterday I mined only half of the BTC I mined a month ago. This means, that in case the decrease keeps going, within the next month the contract gets cancelled. So it last only 2 month. I am curious what happens... Definitely hashing24 is the worst contract so far.
The best seems Hashflare followed by Genesis Mining. Even I write in a few days about Genesis Mining, I can tell that some days the payment didn't show up in the balance list. I have several tickets running here....
Good post!
