GPU mining Profitability decreasing with such high difficulty rise. It is 2,190,866 now!!
Not sure if i agree. A few months ago i was making 2 btc per day but price was 4-5. Now making about 1 btc per day yet price is almost 12. Things improved actually.

The problem is if you have made more money than simply hoarding the money you spent to buy the hardware.

It is kind of like asking.. "will I make money buying X stock??"
The answer: Maybe, depends on a LOT of factors.
1. the price of BTC over the next few months
2. how long until ASICs and the stupid rise in difficulty.
3. how much BTC you earn from your hardware until such time
4. how much you can resell the hardware for once it is obsolete

This winter i am going to keep hashing with my 5 VGAs just for the subsidized heating (speaking 'bout poor-man mining), like last winter. Then we'll see

No, mining isn't worth it at all.
Stop now and maybe the difficulty will go back below 2 million at some point
Ha!
I agree...not worth it in the least. Spread the word that mining is a pain to set up and far from profitable. I'd love to see a decrease in difficulty before ASICs hit

We're all being sarcastic, we know it's very profitable

GPUs are still profitable, but not for long.

Maybe.
At this time I would not invest in GPUs for mining, but am quite happy to keep my existing GPUs running.
It seems likely that, in a small number of months, lots of ASICs will come online and the difficulty will go up.
It is autumn, winter before very long so... if electricity costs x per kWh, and the Bitcoins are worth y per kWh spent, and the heat generated by the GPUs reduces the cost of gas for heat by z per kWh, is the sum of y and z greater than x?
Or maybe the correct plan is to offload GPUs on eBay _before_ the point in time when GPU mining becomes obviously unprofitable and the value of a used HD5870 drops to almost 0.
Interesting times.

My 6 BFLs have now paid themselves off, including electricity usage, PSU, and all other components to get it working
