Thanks for the replies guys

I am not a tech guy so I'm afraid to buy hardware I wont know how to use properly.

Why do you want to mine? If the answer is to get bitcoins, you are almost always going to be better off buying bitcoins.

I would advise against any kind of cloudmining or other hosted mining, the "contract" or terms can change at any time, the place could go up in smoke, the hoster could run with all the funds, etcetc, there are So Many Things that can go wrong, and the return is Very low.

Think about it this way, if the seller of the hosted hashrate, is selling hashrate, that means that you are likely paying More than it's actually worth, otherwise, why wouldn't he just keep the hashrate all to himself?
Cloudhashers make extra profit off their hashrate by charging more than it's worth, because people without a decent amount of starting capital can't afford an Actual peice of mining hardware.

Just my input

try hashnest or amhash or genesis mining

Only problem with them are stupidly high fees. hashnet charge almost 60% in fees so its stupid to mine with them. Cloud mining can be fairly hard these days as most are very limited on what coins get mined and can often result in a loss. Eobot has been good but slowing down but do provide a fair amount of new coins to mine and can switch to each coin on the fly and very simple to use.

neither am I and my 2 antminers (S1) weren't really all that hard. So many youtube videos and the forums were invaluable.

Much better off not buying into any of them. If you really want to mine snag a cheap miner and run it at home for fun. Look at Bitmain and Spondoolies...both have affordable miners!

Agreed. Antminer S1s are less thank $50 easy on ebay. ANT S3s are dropping fast and I've seen them as low as $150.

Before you dive into the unprofitable world of Cloudmining or cloudhashing, you'd best serve yourself by reading the following thread by Puppet:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cloudmining-101-ponzi-risk-assessment-878387

Those 3 mentioned (AMhash, Genesis, and Hashnest) are for the most part legit, but just know going into this that ROI and profit are definitely not guaranteed, and the terms of service or conditions can change rapidly with any cloud mining contract.

I googled and found many options and contradictory reviews, so I thought I'd gather some opinions here.

I've read some old topics but things seem so volatile and to change so fast that I decided to opena new topic.

I was told by a friend to try eobot, is this a good option?
