Genesis Mining: 6 Days After 10 TH/s Bitcoin Mining Upgrade
This is my review after upgrading my BTC mining to 10.16 TH/s with Genesis Mining. This post is based on my experience and results thus far with Genesis Mining. This post is not meant to be investment advice. Your results may vary based on the many factors associated with cryptocurrency mining contracts. This post is an update to my "Genesis Mining Review: My 7 Months of Mining" post made 7 days ago.

Why Bitcoin Mining
Bitcoin mining will continue until the number of Bitcoins reaches 21 million. It is estimated that the last Bitcoin will be mined in the year 2140.
The Bitcoin mining contract offered by Genesis Mining is a lifetime contract.
Next Halving
Bitcoin halving events occur every 210,000 blocks, roughly every four years. The Bitcoin Block Reward Halving Countdown clock currently has the next having occurring in June of 2020.
I was Bitcoin mining during the last Bitcoin halving. Yes, my payout did get cut in half but it recovered when the price of Bitcoin rose.
Consistent Stream of Income
I have been mining with Genesis Mining since June 2016. Mining with Genesis has given me a consistent daily income stream. And that is my goal to have a consistent income stream.
Current Hash Power and Returns
I initially started Bitcoin mining at Genesis Mining with 0.15 TH/s. After about 7 months at this rate to assess the viability and reliability of Genesis Mining, I decided to upgrade my hash rate. I bought a contract to add 10 TH/s to my overall hash rate for mining Bitcoin. A fellow Steemian was kind enough to use my affiliate promotion code, Q1MYO7, for a 3% discount off their upgrade purchase. Their upgrade purchase gave me another 0.01 TH/s of hash power.
The current price of Bitcoin at the time I am writing this post is $922.64 USD per Bitcoin. The following chart shows my last six payouts. "Payout (USD)" is the price quoted at the time of the payout.
| Payout Date | Payout (BTC) | Payout (USD) | Current Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24-Jan-17 | 0.00336605 | $3.08 | $3.11 |
| 25-Jan-17 | 0.00330297 | $2.96 | $3.05 |
| 26-Jan-17 | 0.00326057 | $2.95 | $3.01 |
| 27-Jan-17 | 0.00332719 | $3.06 | $3.07 |
| 28-Jan-17 | 0.00337444 | $3.11 | $3.11 |
| 29-Jan-17 | 0.00335673 | $3.10 | $3.10 |
My average daily payout with 10.16 TH/s has been 0.00333133 BTC.
In the following graph I plotted the individual daily payouts with the mean and upper/lower statistical limits (USL/LSL) two standard deviations from the mean.
Created Using MS Excel
The past six BTC payouts since upgrading to 10.16 TH/s have been consistent. I will continue to watch the payout consistency. Of course the next halving event will reduce the BTC payout.
Based on these statistics I estimate I will recover my initial investment in 446 days or 20 April 2018 which is well before the next halving event.
The following chart to examines the long term potential payouts. I used the following assumptions:
- Halving events occur in May every four years, 2020, 2024, and 2028.
- The price of Bitcoin in terms of USD doubles every four years.
| Mining Date Range | BTC per Day | Avg BTC Price (USD) | USD per Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| May '18 - Apr '19 | 0.00333133 | $1,000.00 | $3.33 |
| May '19 - Apr '20 | 0.00333133 | $1,500.00 | $5.00 |
| May '20 - Apr '21 | 0.00166566 | $2,000.00 | $3.33 |
| May '21 - Apr '22 | 0.00166566 | $2,500.00 | $4.16 |
| May '22 - Apr '23 | 0.00166566 | $3,000.00 | $5.00 |
| May '23 - Apr '24 | 0.00166566 | $3,500.00 | $5.83 |
| May '24 - Apr '25 | 0.00083283 | $4,000.00 | $3.33 |
| May '25 - Apr '26 | 0.00083283 | $5,000.00 | $4.16 |
| May '26 - Apr '27 | 0.00083283 | $6,000.00 | $5.00 |
| May '27 - Apr '28 | 0.00083283 | $7,000.00 | $5.83 |
| May '28 - Apr '29 | 0.00041642 | $8,000.00 | $3.33 |
As you can see if the price of BTC doubles every four years the payout in USD per day is a repeating pattern that resets after each halving event.
My Goal for a Daily Income Stream
My goal is to have a minimum daily income stream of $10 USD a day. For that I estimate I will need to upgrade my BTC mining hash power to 33.06 TH/s.
In February I plan to upgrade my BTC Genesis Mining hash power again. I will keep you posted on my progress.

If you ever reinvest / upgrade you can use my code : AFcBhU
Let me know about it and i will use yours in return :)
I just did a 5 TH/s upgrade this morning using another Steemian's code. I have added your code to my list.
Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
All good, thanks for the add then :)
Have a great one too! See ya
Feel free to use my code by a next upgrade. I'll do the same for you ;) j3SbkT
I have added you to my rotation list.

Thanks; me too ;) Steem on :)
I just used your promo code to upgrade my X11 mining contract by 15 MH/s.
I used BTC to make the purchase and I am still waiting for confirmation.
Have a great day!
Steem on,
Mike
Thank you very much. I will return you the favor ;-)
Steem on :)
I just bought a 2 year Ethereum contract with your code
Paid in Dash (0.312) and confirmation okay :)
Have a great day and remember you are also on my rotation list.
I will upgrade soon ... as much as I can :)
Bright blessings,
Take care,
Thank you! It is greatly appreciated.
I am currently upgrading my X11 contract. However, I am limited to $100 maximum purchase per day by Genesis Mining (as of 5 July 2017). Look for another upgrade using your code in about a week. I am now upgrading X11 everyday for as long as it is available.
Steem on,
Mike
I just upgraded my X11 contract by 15 MH/s using your promo code. You should get a confirmation soon.

etcmike, i like to invest 100TH but BTC mining is not avaialble ! I have to wait ? Is this normal ? Only Ether and Monero can be mined
From time-to-time Genesis Mining sells out their capacity in a mining contract. Normally it takes them 3-4 weeks to build out the infrastructure that allows them to sell more hash capacity.
I would wait for BTC mining contracts to return.
In my opinion, I would not enter either a Ether or Monero mining contract base on my experience.
Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
hashflare is pretty good https://hashflare.io/r/998C42A5 they have bitcoin mining contracts. Only one i trust besides Genesis

Can you give everyone an update on your performance with Genesis Cloud Mining. I would like to hear how your doing now that 6 months has past since you initially wrote the article. Is it still profitable?
Here is my last update:
Genesis Mining Review #7: 1 Year of X11 Dash Mining -- More Than Broke Even
My best days of mining with Genesis Mining contracts are $70 USD/day when BTC is reaching new highs. My average daily payout from Genesis Mining is now between $50 to $60 USD/day.
There was a week where Genesis Mining postponed payments due to an intrusion by a hacker. Payouts have resumed and from what I am seeing, the Genesis Mining payouts are catching up. Just based on my payouts, I can imagine Genesis Mining daily payouts are in the millions of dollars. If I were paying out that much, I would want to do a careful audit too before distributing the payouts.
To my friends and anyone who asks, I recommend the BTC and X11 (Dash) mining contracts at Genesis Mining. They ran out of X11 hash power to sell, but it should be available again in the near future.
I have an Ether Mining contract(s) with Genesis, but do not think I will break even. This is why I do not recommend those contracts. If ETH spikes up to $1,000 USD in price, the contract may payout better. I do not think that will happen.
If the X11 contracts are not available in August when I start my upgrade cycle again, I will be upgrading my BTC mining contracts. At my current rate of return, I will break even on those mining contracts well before the next BTC halving event.
That's my current update.
Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
Amen! 🙏

Mike, do you know why $BTC mining is much more lucrative then $ETH mining right now? If the price of ETH goes to $400 will Ethereum mining be more profitable?
Part of it has to do with the difficulty level. The difficulty level is a factor in determine how hard (difficult) it will be to come up with the next block in the block chain. That is my extremely basic understanding.
Here is a website where you can see the "difficulty level" for different crypto-coins:

Have a great week!

Thanks for the update. I still feel there is much opportunity to lose money if conditions are not favorable all the time. If the price of lets say $BTC drops for 6 months, then payouts will drop significantly. Do you know what the time decay looks like on a 2 year contract. For example, how much do daily payments drop on the last month of the 2 year contract vs the first month on the contract? What is the profit margin on $BTC mining until break even? I'm still trying to understand why cloud mining is not a gamble and a good way to lose money in uncertain market conditions. Any additional insights by the Steem community would be very helpful for me to better understand how cloud mining works. Thanks!

Hi all, I have started mining ETH with Genesis Mining for 20 mh/s recently and looking to add some hashrate soon. So if you use my code : uRPBTm I will use yours back. Just let me know.
have a great day !
I did not get a confirmation from Genesis Mining that my purchase using LTC went through. Genesis could be bogged down with orders.
Anyway, I purchased another 5 TH/s of BTC mining using your code. As of this time, I have not gotten an confirmation yet. Hopefully, they are just backlogged.
Have a great week!
Steem on,
Mike
I just started mining today, you are third in line on my list. I will be using your code pretty soon. Here's my code: RUXnyi

Hi djbk, i like to start and use your code. But no BTC mining is available . Can u advice ?
@pmoeller
Hi there, Sure.
You can use HashFlare to get a mining contract. Their mining contracts are by the way the cheapest around ;)
Heres the link: https://hashflare.io/r/DCDD8DE3
The other option is to buy a NON BTC Contract with Genesis like X11, Ether..

@djbk, @etcmike ive added your codes to my list for the next upgrades. Please use my code XouixF as well. :) cheers!
I have added your code to my rotation list. I only upgrade my BTC mining contract. Currently the BTC mining contracts being sold by Genesis are for a 28 February 2019 start date. And the least you can buy is 1 TH/s. I am still debating whether to purchase more upgrades at this time or wait.
My rotation list has 29 codes in it. It may be some time before I get to your code. It all depends on the availability of BTC contracts from Genesis.
Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
Just used yours for a small hashpower purchase.. Thanks!
Thank you!
I have moved you up on my rotation list. Three codes in front of yours.
At the moment, I do not have anything to spare for purchasing four more 1 TH/s of BTC. Next weekend, I expect that to change. I hope the BTC pre-sale contracts are still available then.
Have a great weekend!

Dude, be careful. Their so called lifetime BTC contract is sketchy. I've made a detailed analysis in this post if you're interested.
Nice analysis mkaya! Most people new to mining fail to take into account the increase in diff. I too made the mistake of pumping money into 9ths. There may be some benefit to the ETH/2yr contracts tho.

Nice article Mike, it will be interesting to see how long the genesis contract survives with the rising difficulty. Should be fine for a while due to current BTC rates, but the returns will dwindle in the coming months
I do expect the returns to dwindle in terms of number of coins mined over time as the difficulty rises. But I also expect that to be compensated for or even eclipsed by the rising price of BTC in USD over time.
The biggest hurdle to BTC mining is the next halving in June 2020. I think the return on investment will be fine as long as BTC contracts are bought at least two years before June 2020.
At least for the rest of this year, I will continue to purchase BTC mining contracts from Genesis Mining.
Have a great weekend!

I love mining ,been mining on Genesis and bitclub for a year now, so powerful platforms. Thanx for the post ,i noticed we have lots of crypto traders on steem than minners

I just joined the Steem community and mining has been on my mind for a while. Your article has pushed me to signup and try it for myself. Will be using your referral code.
The rising BTC difficulty is something to consider. I've been dabbling in the ETH contract instead. Like mike has mentioned, it lets you automine the most profitable altcoin and convert it into BTC. You may be better off going with that instead. Start of with 5mhs of so and see for yourself.
Will give it a shot. The difficulty has been going us and it is very obvious in the daily payout that has been dropping for the past 2 months now. Might make a separate post once I have enough data.
