If I look at the market hashrate for S9 its coming down and S7 is going up. I have seen posts where people say there are getting more bitcoin from S7. From running it on the calculator as the maintenance costs are higher you will do worse with the S7. It looks like PACMiC is profitable, but it depends on how much profit they give you.

Anyway I think your cost was slightly more than what I calculated. So you pay $14 but make $12 after a year.

Both energy/maintenance costs are down for both S9/S7 GHS in Hashnest now. I don't know how much I will make, it's more a funny experiment to me and I will be buying S9 GHS monthly there.

PACMiC is the most profitable option but it costs quite a lot, it's like a yearly fixed ROI but you cannot move out of that contract (i.e not sell your GHS like in normal market).

In the end I already told you, see it as a learning experience and not something to make profit from (although this is also possible from trading your GHS). Cloud mining is from long not profitable and I don't think it will be in the near future unless price of Bitcoin goes to 2000 USD or more it can be really profitable.

As you see lots of variables in play so I cannot make any conclusion except that don't expect any profit from cloud mining.
