Well, I have earned 0.00510789 from various websites, but I have a mining contract that is supposed to start in September.

So we will see how that goes in another month or two.
Mining contract? How does that work?
PS: Sorry for bringing the IQ of the forums down

You pay somebody that gives you are share of the profits from a mining operation that they run (or that they plan to run at some stage in the future). In some cases the shares are used to pay for the devices that are going to be used.
