Hey, I know a friend is using Minergate, too. 
Is monero more profitable than Bitcoin? 

I'm cloudmining too, but these days it's very hard, so I've focussed on mining ICOs, where you buy tokens instead of buying a contract. So this income is lifetime (so long mining is profitable and you hold these tokens). Holding these tokens means profits receiving from mining. If you dont want to participate in this mining, you can sell these tokens like normal coins, because they have a value like Bitcoin or Ethereum. I've written some reviews of interesting mining ICOs, if you are interested. 

And nice to see, you are using Mannabase too like me :)
