Genesis mining is really reliant on getting affiliate bonus codes.

I put in about $160us in to get 1 Terahash of Btc mining and also .60 metehash X11 to mine dash and start coin.

After 2.5 month i am not even half way to recouping that money.

I'm still not sure if its a complete loss... yet.
Still something to do, and it has helped me to better understand how the whole crytpo world works.

I bought most of my genesis contracts with my Steem Rewards. So i actually put in very little cash.
