Cryptocurrency mining is the surest way to earn crypto coins. Crypto mining hardware is needed to mine each mineable coin. Every mineable crypto currency has a specific algorithm used to mine the coin from cpu, gpu, ASIC, or cloud mining power.
Cloud Mining
Cloud mining is buying crypto hashing power from a cloud mining farm. Cloud mining farms are huge warehouses full of crypto mining hardware that sell or rent out the hashing power of their machines. Cloud mining is the easiest way to start mining crypto currencies, but is pricier then buying your own mining hardware and has a longer ROI. The upside to cloud mining is it is a hands off approach and you do not have to deal with the noise, heat, and upkeep of the mining hardware.
Cloud Mining Providers
- Genesis Mining - Genesis Mining is one of the biggest and best cloud mining providers. GM provides many different cloud mining contracts including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Zcash, Dash, and Monero. Use code "Pbf6Jy" for 3% off of all Genesis Mining orders
- Hashflare - Hashflare is another large, long running cloud mining provider that offers smaller cloud mining contracts than Genesis Mining. Hashflare provides many different cloud mining contracts including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Zcash, Dash, and Monero. Use code "478CC13F" for 10% off of all Hashflare cloud mining contracts.
Crypto Mining Hardware
GPU's and ASIC's are the best crypto mining hardware to buy. If you want to mine Bitcoin or Litecoin you will need an ASIC miner that is based on the algorithm of the coin you want to mine. Ethereum and Zcash can be mined with a GPU.

Most Profitable Hashflare Cloud Mining Contracts 2018
Hashflare Mining Contracts: Most Profitable To Least Profitable
Hashflare offers many different cloud mining contracts including Sha256, Scrypt, Ethash, and Equihash. I wanted to find out which one of these contracts is the most profitable. For these profitability calculations, I used the closest to $1,000 of hash power without going under $1,000 for each cloud mining contract offered on Hashflare with BTC at $11,285 on January 22, 2018. The profitability calculations will vary with the price of the coin being mined and difficulty adjustments, but as of the time I took the calculations, this is what I found to be the most profitable cloud mining contracts at Hashflare.
Hashflare Ethash (ETH) Mining Contracts
Based on current market conditions Hashflare Ethash cloud mining contracts mining ETH are the most profitable. $1,012 gets you 46 MH/s of Ethash mining power. This amount of hash power at current conditions makes around $5.19/day, $155.73/month with a break even of 194.95 days.
Hashflare SHA256 (BTC) Mining Contracts
Hashflare SHA256 contracts mining BTC comes in as the second most profitable cloud mining contract at current market conditions. $1,012 gets you 4.6 TH/s of SHA256 mining power. After subtracting the maintenance fee for SHA256 contracts, this amount of hash power earns about $4.28/day, $128.32/month, with a break even of 236.6 days.
Hashflare Equihash (ZEC) Mining Contracts
Coming in at number three is Hashflare’s Equihash mining contracts mining ZEC. $1,000 of Equihash mining power gets you 500 H/s on Hashflare. Based on current market conditions, 500 H/s mining ZEC makes around $3.80/day, $113.93/month, with a break even of 263.32 days.
Hashflare Scrypt (LTC) Mining Contracts
Hashflare Scrypt contracts switch to most profitable coin so earnings should be higher than listed. These calculations are solely based on mining LTC. $1,050 will get you 140 MH/s of Scrypt mining power. Based on current market conditions and subtracting the maintenance fee, 140 MH/s mining only LTC makes around $2.99/day, $89.75/month, with a break even of 350.97 days.

Hashflare Scrypt Cloud Mining Contracts
Hashflare's Scrypt cloud mining contracts have gotten more profitable. Scrypt mining contracts will now automatically switch to the most profitable coin, making the cloud mining contracts more profitable. Secondly, Hashflare’s Scrypt cloud mining fee is being cut in half. Hashflare says, “We’ve got some excellent news to share. First, we’re glad to announce that starting from 19.10.17 you will be able to use our new Scrypt multipool that will make HashFlare mining even more profitable. Pool’s algorithm will automatically allocate hashing power to mine a variety of currencies, focusing on the most profitable at the moment of mining. Second, the restructuring of contracts, which happened in August, allowed us to reduce some of our costs. Along with the new multipool, Scrypt maintenance fee will be cut down in half. What does it mean? Taking today’s statistics, lowered maintenance fee and new multipool into the account, the payback period of your Scrypt contracts reaches 200 days!”
