I have always wanted to do some mining that made me a bit of money, I can't afford 500
dollars for a mining rig like one of those: 
SO I wanted a way to to support bitcoin and make a few dollars in the process, I did some research and found Minergate.com, I started mining Monero there. I made a few dollars, I also set up Google cloud It was fun setting up, and mining until I was banned for violating the terms of service, I had to figure something out. So I googled a bit and found Cloud hashing...
I really just wanted a quick way to have some fun and see if i could make what I invested grow, through a bit of research I found cloudflare.io, they seemed legit and I bought about 1.5 /THs of sha-256 for about 144 USD they also offer SCRYPT Mining as well, to me this was exciting, but they took out a lot for maintenance. In the end I would still make my money back in under two years, and with them it was a lifetime contract. So over all it was a positive experience, and a weird sort of investment. If you have any questions please comment. If you are interested you can also try cloud hashing yourself:
