What Do You Think About Cloud Mining?

Fellow steemers, I need some help from you. I know many of you guys are blockchain and cryptocurrency experts. I want to get involved in the bitcoin world, what a better way to start that asking this amazing steem community? Recently I started cloud mining using softwares. I'm already mining Dashcoin and Bytecoin using the MINERGATE miner in all my devices.

Is this profitable?

Is there a way to mine Ethereum?

What other cryptocurrencies would be good?

What do you think of it?

Does it really work?

Any payouts?

Any advise or suggestions?
