It goes without saying that Bitcoin, as well as other cryptocurrencies, have been booming in popularity over the past couple of years. After their massive surge in 2017, digital currencies became a hot topic that the mainstream audience couldn’t really ignore.
As you may know, the “production” of Bitcoin is particularly different from how traditional fiat currencies are printed. There’s no central authority and instead, bitcoins are generated through a process commonly referred to as “mining.”
However, this is a very intensive process that requires serious machines in order for it to be profitable. While it’s possible to mine Bitcoin on your personal computer or laptop, chances are that you won’t get any measurable profits.
That’s where Bitcoin cloud mining steps into the picture. Providers of services of the kind have also seen a rapid increase in their popularity because of what they stand to offer. So let’s dive a bit deeper.
What is Bitcoin Cloud Mining
Unlike traditional Bitcoin mining, cloud mining refers to the process of Bitcoin mining which utilizes a remote data center that has shared processing power. This type of mining allows the user to mine Bitcoins or altcoins, for that matter, without having to manage the hardware.
A common analogy is the one with cloud data storage centers where you store your information on the cloud without having to worry about maintaining the equipment.
The mining rigs typically housed and maintained in a facility that is owned by a larger mining company. In these cases, the customer simply needs to register for their services and to subscribe to a certain mining contract.
There are certain advantages of going this way. These include, but are not limited to:
- No need to manage the equipment yourself
- No noise or excessive heat from the mining rigs
- No need to worry about excessive electricity bills
- No need to find a dedicated space to house your mining rigs
- Uptime is usually around-the-clock
Of course, there are certain downsides as well. For instance, the entire process is out of your control and you have no supervision over the equipment for the duration you’ve contracted the service. It’s also worth noting that there are quite a lot of bad agents in the field so it’s very important to make sure that you’ve done your research well before you decide to go down this road. Also, sometimes it turns out that holding Bitcoin is much more profitable than applying for a cloud mining program.
