Best strategy would be to invest in Cloud Mining, as you have the option to opt out anytime you feel like.

I took a look at the cex.io site and the numbers seemed very bad.
Maybe I read them wrong?
Can you help here? It says GH/BTC 0.0747 what does this mean? 0.0747 GH/s for one bitcoin or 0.0747 bit coins for 1 GH/s?

If it is the former then $10k would get you 74 MH/s which is just pathetic. You would end up just losing money.

The latter on the other hand equates to about 13GH/s per bitcoin which makes much more sense. Hmmm. I might actually consider this. What I don't understand is how the maintenance fee works. I expect hat after about three to four months you would want to pull out your money and mined coins as difficulty skyrockets but I'm not entirely sure of the math related to the depreciation wrt maintenance and pool fees. The calculator just says 3% for each. IS that monthly/ daily does it compound?

I think i'll just email those guys.

And lastly, why don't they just mine the damn thing themselves? I can't imagine they have idle hardware sitting there waiting for someone to pay for CPU/ASIC time.
