Cloud Mining with Hashflare Mining Bitcoins on your own is no longer profitable. Another option is to use cloud mining. These are services that allow you to "rent" their mining. Now I've read that most cloud mining operations are just ponzi scams, but I already put in some money into Hashflare before I read up. Let's see if Hashflare breaks the "it's a ponzi" notion. It would take approximately 6 months for me to ROI. Buying bitcoins and holding on to it may seem the better option. But if the service continues after 6 months, then I'm getting extra satoshi everyday. Of course, profitability depends on many factors such as BTCUSD rate and maintenance costs. To sign up: http://ay.gy/1hwVhp Take note that maintenance fees are in USD, so the higher the price of bitcoins, the lesser the fees take away (and vice versa). So we really want bitcoin to go to the moon! Another thing to note is the withdrawal minimum of 0.0004 BTC and a withdrawal fee of 0.0003 BTC; so don't think you can withdraw too often. Here I will list my earnings so far. I will already deduct the maintenance fees in the list.
