What "legit" does not mean

A real, operating provider can still lose you money: in cloud mining you own no hardware, revenue follows coin price and difficulty, and most published contracts are priced so the seller wins. "Legit" means the operator exists and pays what its terms promise - not that the deal is profitable. Run the numbers with the mining calculator before paying.
