What Is the Risk to the Renter in a Hashrate Rental Agreement?

The primary risk to the renter in a hashrate rental agreement is the uncertainty of the mining outcome, known as "mining luck." The renter pays a fixed price for the hashrate, but there is no guarantee that the rented power will find a block and earn the reward during the rental period. The renter also faces the risk of the target coin's price dropping after the rental is secured, potentially making the cost of the hashrate greater than the value of the mined reward.
