• Leased Hashing Power: Leases hashing power is the most sought-after method of cloud mining by far. In this method, a particular amount of hashing power is leased without any virtual or physical computer.

Determining the Profitability
There are different methods to calculate the profitability. The web services are designed in a way to work according to hardware parameters.

Even after this, a user can calculate the profit through a clear thinking on the costs that he/she is going to invest in cloud. Calculators might ask for the electricity costs or for the initial investment. A user or an individual will be asked for off going and ongoing investments.

Since the mining provider is not a user or the one who is going to pay electricity bills, he/she can simply enter the mining monthly bill instead of electricity cost.
In case of hardware miners, a user can simply calculate the monthly cost by multiplying electricity charge ($ per KWh) through power consumption and a conversion factor.

However in case of cloud mining, the calculations are just opposite. In cloud, the provider provides a user a monthly running cost and he/she need to calculate cost per KWh and put that value into the mining calculator. The cost is calculated not by multiplying, but by dividing the monthly cost by 0.744 conversion factor.

In a nutshell, a user has to decide whether he/she wants to earn profits through this technology or just want to leave this opportunity of gaining profits on the investment.
