Oh I wouldn't expect the difficulty to decrease either.

Looking at the market right now it seems as if everything is too expensive.  I expect an upcoming ASIC crash, followed by a slight reduction in BTC value; but nevertheless I want to do some tinkering now because I think the experience is valuable.

I have an opportunity to get 2x Blade Eruptor Blades for ~$200, which seems almost reasonable, but I'm still in this for the experience, not the necessarily ROI.

Any tips?

Thanks!
