Fortunately I started with Genesis almost a month ago! I'm currently sitting at .75TH BTC and 27.5MH for Dash. It's not much but I don't have capitol for a large upfront investment. What I've found myself doing is upgrading the minimal amount once a week across Hashflare, Genisis, and Hashing24. Probably not the best method, but I'm just trying to get each on to reasonable level of mining. Going to be using your code.
Here's my code for Genesis if you want to use it "sxuomr"
