If you add opportunity cost and renting cost, you are double counting.
Assuming you can repeat your "totally legit" setup transactions until you succeed, with minimal cost other than rent, you would need to take more than either the opportunity cost (otherwise it's better to just mine), or the renting cost (otherwise you're still losing money).
