This is exactly why I don't get involved with Genesis-Mining, they charge way too much! 3,000 for $7.5 a day based off 0f Craig's estimation? I once invested only $250 to get $7.5 a day AND I got my m0ney back! Better stop playing around Craig and invest $3,000 into Nicehash Hash ;)
I know you have more trust for Genesis and you are a loyal customer so, to each is own! Just try out a nice size of hash on over@Nicehash to see if it will be worth it. If I had 3,000 oh b0i! I would be making madd m0ney in the forex market allday! I can make a $1000 with having a $1000 in less than a day if just scalping the market. But if I stay in a position, oh b0i so yeah, $3000, they don't wanna see me with this kind of trading capital ;)

I see what you are saying however about the ROI but remember what you once stated, "it's not about the ROI, it's about what your doing with the money flow streaming in". Again, I see what you mean and how it would feel to literally make your return and knowing that it's really free after the fact ;)
If you don't worry about the ROI, you just have to see it as it's money gone(just like you say as well) that could have easily been spent on material things that do not give you a return ;)
