So i mine both myself and on genesis and they both have good and bad sides.
The way to mine on genesis is not to put a huge amount on and hope for you to earn that back . What you want to do is find an amount that you can invest and dont see it as an income and then reinvest the coins you make to get more hash power. Then the daily amount keeps going up. Eventually you will be getting what you put in per day (Even if it does take a long time.)
However mining with your own computer is much more lucrative but more hard work.
Here is my genesis mining code (nSH7XE) if i helped can you please use it when you go on. Thanks :)
