Nicehash vs Buying Coins vs Mining

[themonkii]

Hey guys!

I hope someone can shed some light on this for me. I'm mining atm with a small farm, but I'd like to expand a bit.
What are your thoughts on NiceHash?
More specifically - What is the benefit to using Nicehash versus just buying the coins on the market? For instance - If I wanted $3000 worth of Decred, I could either go to an exchange and buy it w bitcoin/ether or I could put that $3000 into Nicehash and buy hashing power, or I could further invest that $3000 into my operation and build a rig to mine that specific coin.

Thoughts, please

Hi, I bought a D3 and Nicehash says it will net me $471 a month, but whattomine and coinwars says it will only net me $30. Anyone used nicehash and had success? I'm curious about this as well. I used some of my profits to buy a miner but now I feel the miner is worthless. If nicehash can recover my funds, I would be happy about it.
