Scott, Yes. Anything that shows a profit "pays for itself."

I think this person is thinking that "paying for themselves" is taking a thing and doubling it in one cycle. They are spending 10 coins and in four hours has 20 coins to show for their efforts.

They are actually spending 25 coins and receiving 35 coins which isn't "doubling your investment." This is only a 40% increase, not a 100% increase that they indicate. Gee, they could have said that these increase by 250%, which one could argue is correct as well, looking at it from their point of view.
