The uncomfortable default
Mining revenue is paid in the coin, so a contract is really a leverage on the coin price with a cost attached. If the coin rises, HODL gains linearly and so does the mined coin - but the contract has already spent fees, and the hardware it rents is not yours to sell. Most of the time, the honest answer is: buying the coin wins unless you can beat the market's difficulty forecast. That is worth knowing before paying.
