However to not ruin you and finally get this thread to an end, I'll donate the missing 0.6 ZEC from my own pocket to your account - you can withdraw it.
THANKS, I appreciate that. I'd wish you would not feel it's been a donation, but let's just leave it like that. You show you have integrity and that's all it counts.
I am well aware of the whole cryptocurrency market being a very risky proposition. And I know that a mining rental contract is not a one-click solution. Can it be profitable ? YES, I proved it to myself . Can it be profitable using a PPNLS pool ? NO , unless you are able to mine 24/7. Can you mine 24/7 using a mining rental contract and have a profit ? NO, if you do not carefully follow the market or put up in place some BOTS. I have been able to generate a profit using a RBPPS pool : it takes a constant monitoring of your rental contract and adjustment to your bids. Am I getting rich ? NO , but I am having lots of fun doing it for few hours every day !
Case closed,
Pakal
