I built two rigs at end of May, sold one about a week ago for 1k more than I paid for the parts to build it. And I got to mine with it for 5 weeks. I am about $350 from breakeven on the whole mining investment. Very happy I sold the one rig! Difficulty is crazy. However, I would like to see the price of ETH drop more in the short term. Weed out the weak hands and give me the opportunity to buy more!

That is quite interesting thinking of wiping weak hands. But the total difficulty will rise any way.
