Yeah. I've had the same thought too. In this case, I would be earning more with my rig rather than depending on a cloud mining contract. If ZCash had an ICO, I would've bought plenty of coins in order to sell them later for profit. But, it seems that ZCash won't have an ICO so the only chance to get some coins would be via mining upon its release or buying a few coins on an exchange quickly before price starts to rise. 


Thanks mate. This actually makes a lot more sense than spending more money on a contract in which it can reduce your chances of getting profit at all. I expect to reach ROI from within a year once I start mining ZCash with my rig.
