Thanks for the advice I'll bare that in mind.
It really is just for fun & not as a serious investment

To be honest, if you want have "fun" with cloud mining, much less risky is HashNest.
Main difference is that in hashflare you buy contract and you can't withdraw from there. In HashNest you buy mining power, and in any time you can sell it on market. In the meantime you can trade there and earn a bit more.. Consider that option.
