What are your thoughts on the rising difficulty of ethereum?
Looks like network difficulty has almost doubled since April.
Could be an interesting 6 months in the mining scene.
Especially with the shortage of 570/580s yet increase in difficulty.
I'm curious to see the effects of Vega.

My setup netted me about 20 Eth/month a few months back now I'm getting roughly half that.
Which has been terrific with the increase in price, but we might be in for a break even period.

My thoughts are when the difficulty of eth makes it unprofitable people will swap coins which will do great things for the other Alts.

VEGA won't have any affects because its a flagship model that sold in small quantities.

Right now your worry should be the difficulty doubling again in 1 or 2 months and the ice-age getting worse and giving us 30 second block times instead of 15 in August. So most likely if Metropolis isn't released by August, difficulty will be quadruple of what it is today.
