Genesis Mining Review- Is It Worth It?

When I bought a mining contract with genesis mining on 2016-06-17 I was vastly uninformed and i hope this post doesn't let anyone else do that same.

On 2016-06-17 I spent $109.42 on 2 different contracts.

My dagger-hashimoto contract cost me 76.78 and mined Ether for a year, Ether cost 11.50 the day I bought this contact. If I had bought Ether with this 76.78 at this time it would have been 6.6765 Ether. Today that would be worth $2216.60. Instead the contact gave out$929 worth of Ethereum. This contact was only a year long and has ended and I wont receive any more.

My sha256 contract cost me 32.62$and has been mining Bitcoin, however this contact will continue to play out as long as the payouts are larger than the service fees. Bitcoin was valued at$750 at the time I bought the contract. If I had bought bitcoin directly instead of the contract with the $32 it would be worth exactly$200 today. Instead the contract has given out $114, and the payouts have slowed to about 2 dollars a month.

In conclusion, I am not satisfied with my purchase on these contracts. I would have made so much more money if I had just bought the coins I was mining instead.
