Which mining do you prefer? Cloud mining or Hardware Mining?

[MilesJohan]

Cloud mining, only if it is able to profit..

Which cloud mining companies would you suggest?

[Soappa]

I prefer not to engage in bitcoin mining.
But if I have to choose one, I would prefer running my own hardware as it will be more fun to set up and run the machine myself.

What does anyone make of the new C1 Hardware miner that Bitmain have brought out, it has Water cooling features etc? I have both Hardware and cloud mining.

[kimchi64]

I prefer hardware mining.
You know whats wrong if something fucks up.

Also, you get a warm feeling of actually being able to do something in life.

[Kimowa]

Prefer hardware mining, its fun to setup some hardware....

[Centaurus]

Cloud, since the data center is most specialized than I.

[gregheflee]

Yeah, and it is pretty much effective to compare to cloud mining.

[DhaniBoy]

I prefer cloud mining, we do not need too much capital, but it can get the maximum results, you do not need to think about how to pay for electricity for mining and you also do not need a super computer to mining, so that the capital required for mining should not be too great, I advise you to do the cloud mining, wish you luck, because every investment there must be risks ... 

[Wongi]

I like hardware mining. Heating my flat with the waste heat.

[Kakmakr]

I have to go with hardware mining on this one.

Cloudmining for me, have not seen ROI on any of the operations, I have invested. PBmining / GAW / Cex etc.

^Sucks^

[Gumbork]

Prefer cloud mining much better, don't need to deal with the wires..

Don't forget that those "recommended accessories" for C1 are not included in the 1 btc price, and those are going to cost you $50 + shipping.

For those who use cloud mining, which do you use?

[ranochigo]

Cloud mining is never and will never be profitable. Buy some hardware(not preorder) and host them at your garage, provided if your electrical fees are low. If not, if you have a big investment fund, install some high efficient solar panel or rent space at a datacenter.

Both cloud mining and hardware is unprofitable. So choose cloud mining cause you don't need to do anything with it

Hardware mining is actually profitable for some. Winter is coming so some miners can just turn off their heater and use the miner to heat up their room. Some people also have cheap or even free electricity, they can ROI pretty soon if they don't buy preorders. Cloud mining is definitely unprofitable.

Would love to do hardware mining but since you need to buy the hardware and I don't have the time to manage the miner so I had to choose cloud mining.

Cloud mining IS profitable, you just need to choose a good contract.
There's a group of people who simply take the numbers and say: "Oh, I need over 6 months to ROI at current rates. Not worth it!"
It's not that simple. Just read some ROI tracking threads and you'll see. There are people who got profits after just 2 or 3 months, by simply trading their shares. Sitting on your ass and whining won't get you anywhere

What contract is good? Considering the risk of operator running away, datacenter downtime etc. The problem is difficulty is not always predictable, huge difficulty can increase due to miners bring shipped. I went to search for various cloudmining plans, they are either unprofitable or untrustworthy.  The operator would just mine for themselves instead of selling shares if profitability is high. Trading isn't for everyone, the risk is high, you are more likely to lose money than getting profits if you are inexperienced.
