Buying IceDrill shares one does not have to pay electricity, keep the equipment running, if it brokes have to replace it, and so on...
It still seems a good deal to me...
Of those only not having to keep the equipment running is correct. Any electricity costs come out of the gross revenue. It is no different then mining your own coins and putting aside enough to pay the power bill. Any damaged equipment has to be replaced from gross revenue and reducing the revenue until replaced, once again the same as hardware you own.
I think IceDrill is a good project but come on, if those facts came as a shock to you, maybe you shouldn't be an investor, generally speaking.
True, but it's not me the person who has to do that, plus in my country electricity is very expensive, pretty sure they have a better deal.
And if I have a mining rig and it broke, in the time between sending it to the manufacture and receiving a new one I'll earn zero, this scenario does not apply here.
Still think it's good deal, and it does no invalidate mining at home...
