Difficulty on the Rampage!

[bonker]

Looks to me like a bunch of new miners jumping on board after the recent rally.

Where is difficulty going? Looks like the end is getting near for the GPU farms

Difficulty is irrelevant.  The only thing that matters is profitability.  If diff goes up 1,000 times but price goes up 10,000 is it still a good idea to turn off your rig?

Profitability is higher then ever.  http://blockchain.info/charts/miners-operating-profit-margin

No, I've not heard of them. Are ASIC's immune to difficulty?

No, but they are much faster and far more efficient than GPUs.  Also very difficult to actually get.

You don't hear about ASIC? I can't believe that, how type of miner are you?

I'm a expert type of miner! I been here for 2 years, I got 18 rigs in my room and keep them cool with five fridge freezers with the doors open!

Lol he trolls here a lot. He's a little too obvious in this thread, but still comical nonetheless.

Satoshi actually wrote the white paper and noted Bonker and the open fridges in it!  True story...
