If you are asking if the Cloudmining pay, yes they do pay but the question is until when. There had been a lot of scam cases here regarding cloudmining investment and yet people never learn. I am not saying that all who offers cloudmining is a scam but I will definitely say that it is not worth your investment. The reason is, ROI is very slow. Aside from that, the rewards depreciate unless you upgrade you hashes. But then that will still consume more time to get our ROI.
In short, it is not a wise decision to invest in cloud mining company.
Even on legit ones ROI isnt still guaranteed depending on which coin you are investing to.Cloud mining companies do exist but only few on numbers and most of them are just scams and if you arent aware or alert then you might get scammed by them.If you dont like slow roi or returns then cloud mining isnt for you. Compounding profits is hard to do its much better to secure profits rather than on compounding since you are doubling the risk.
They exists bigger in numbers but the cloud mining platform use to scam the investors says the account banned or contract closed. If you do not want to see these messages in the cloud mining wherever you invested. You should stay away to avoid the future loses.
ROI can expected in the mining rig with GPU or ASIC but with the cloud mining, we have to forgot the word ROI completely. LOL.
To explain about even I have to say the same as you said. Keep avoid investing on the hashflare or genesis cloud mining too.
