Not really- it is going to take quite a bit of effort and a spare 'good' machine to get anything close to a profit on this new wave of venture capitalism.
Even so, I will do what I can to make some 'free' money.;

There are around ~20000 miners out there at the moment, only a handful of them are on the new ASICs... what if the 20000 gpu miners would ddos the ASIC folks?
