Cloud digging allows you to access the data center’s processing capacity and receive cryptocurrencies without having to buy the right hardware, software, spend money on electricity, maintenance, etc. The essence of cloud mining is that it allows users to buy the power to process remote data centers.
The whole process of cryptocurrency production takes place in the cloud, which makes cloud digging very useful for those who do not understand all the technical aspects of the process and do not want to run their own software or hardware. If electricity is expensive where you live – for example in Germany – then take the digging process to a country where electricity is cheaper, such as the United States.
Types of bitcoin cloud mining:
There are currently three ways to dig in the cloud:
1. Extraction for rent. Rental of a mining machine hosted by the supplier.
2. Virtually hosted digging. Create a virtual private server and install your digging software.
3. Hash power rental. Hire a certain amount of hash power without having any special physical or virtual equipment. (This is the most popular method of cloud digging).
What are the benefits of Bitcoin cloud mining?
– Cannot handle excess heat generated by machines.
– Avoid the constant buzzing of fans.
– You do not have to pay for electricity.
– Do not sell your digging equipment when it is no longer profitable.
– There are no problems with the ventilation of the equipment, which is usually very hot.
– Avoid possible delays in hardware delivery.
What are the disadvantages of Bitcoin cloud mining?
– The possibility of fraud,
– Bitcoin transactions cannot be verified
– Unless you want to build your own bitcoin hash systems, it can be boring.
– Lower profits – Bitcoin cloud mining services are costly.
– Bitcoin mining contracts may allow the termination of transactions or payments if the price of bitcoin is too low.
– You cannot change the digging software.
Risk of digging in the cloud:
The risk of fraud and mismanagement is prevalent in the world of cloud digging. Investors should only invest if they are comfortable with those risks – as the saying goes, “never invest more than you are willing to lose.” Research social media, talk to old customers and ask any questions you think are appropriate before investing.
Is cloud digging profitable?
The answer to this question depends on some factors that affect the return on investment. Price is the most obvious factor. The service fee covers the costs of electricity, accommodation and hardware. On the other hand, the company’s reputation and reliability is a determining factor due to the spread of fraud and bankruptcy.
Finally, profitability depends on factors that no company can predict or control: just remember the high volatility of bitcoin over the past three years. When buying a digging contract, it is better to accept a constant price for bitcoin, as your other alternative is to buy bitcoins and wait for the price to rise. Another important factor is the capacity of the entire network, which depends on the number of operations per second. Over the last few years, power has grown exponentially. Its growth will continue to rely on the value of bitcoin and innovation in the development of application-specific integrated circuits.
