my advice would be TO buy bitcoins and turn them into hash with hashnest (or their pacmic invest plan) ... no other work or fees required, just earn shares profit
Hasnest is not bad if looking for a cloud option, it's the most popular there is if you do want cloud. I would agree pacmic on current is kinda a low return.
I still do a lot with physical mines though. I really like having it and tinkering. That is part of what makes me love mining.
