Yes is still profitable to mine ethereum,but need good hardware ,
but Intel and Nividea creating new products maybe it will help in the future.

I tried mining ETH but it's quit hard to set up.
Even on a node and on my PC. With the current increase i do believe it's profitable, but question is how long willt his price stay 'high'

Indeed its hard to setup ETH mining. There are many steps involved and that can be kind of overwhelming to newcomers. But if you really put some effort into it, i am sure you can do it. Just read good tutorials and seek help here if needed.

Yeah we really cant predict the future but there are many signs that shows increased market awareness about ETH. One of the biggest examples is Genesis Mining offering ETH mining plans now. Another one would be the spike in transaction volume across many important exchanges. This is mostly caused by chinese mining farms entering the party. And like i said before, the window to make a profit is getting narrower everyday.

We all know ETH is turning to POS in one year. I think this fact can lead/is leading to an "ETH rush" that has the potential to make the price go higher this year.

I found this pool with a great guide and it helped me to get going much faster. https://eth.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=gettingstarted
Then instead of downloading the client you can use this alternative.. https://kvhnuke.github.io/etherwallet/
