LOL no for this mining pool at bitcoin.com its just using TEHRI hardware...u down download anything u just pay for the TH u are paying to renttheir bitcoin mining rigs! They are getting cash uop froont for biitcoins they havent mined yet but know they will! and they can then use that money to buy MORE hardwware and then sell MORe contracts!

They are akmost out of lifetime contracts so I bought 2TH more for $300! I had to take a big chunk from my poloniex ripple and steller but ill buy mroe and my steem is making up for it! 

and sorry if i confused u with my talk of minergate program for altcoin mining in my previous posts,  but the mining PROGRAM you download is a SEPERATE thing called  Minergate  which is an altcoin mining pool thats amaziing and easy to use and install an start mining with just one button start! for minergate you download the app and use your hardware (And they have mining contracts for cloud mining too) Its all free u dont ahve to pay or anything jst singup using my link https://minergate.com/a/d582a3e158500d130a38afed and just register, downloa dthe progfram windows mac linux OR android and just login using same logn and password on multipel machines and t wll start mining for u! just choose the coin or just start "smart mining" where it will jst mine teh most roftable coin 9Monero XMR) but u can also mine Bytecoins Etherem Ethereum classic and Monero (and a fe others but those are the coinsu an sell on polonix) anyway if u wanna start mining for free using just your hardware use minergate
