If you're an average miner and not overflowing with cash, the difficulty reduction meant nothing for you.
If you were making 0.2/week and you now make 0.22 instead of 0.18 for several weeks, it is very nice and can double your profits after maintenance costs.
Mining has absolutely no point in doing. Especially not Cloud mining, you will 99/100 times lose money and if you make fat stacks 12,5% ROI per week *COUGH* LTC-Gear *COUGH* it will most likely be a scam.
Anyway, getting 0.22 per week instead of 0.18 is sure as hell nice. But what if the prices drop even more?
