Well it's alternative to mining at home. I've already fried one graphics card trying to mine my own ethereum. So your better off doing this if your planning to mine. Put few hundred in genesis vs lose your hardware. Do the math. But the antminers created to mine bitcoin alone those are different story, but nobody has thousands of dollars and 800 watts to do that. So far so good. Just don't by ethereum contracts. Dash and Bitcoin is where it's at.
