No, actually.

I have found a way to circumvent the difficulty.

I can still mine at a difficulty of 1 if I want to, but I don't.

Not to be a jerk but these posts serve no purpose. "Ooh I can get around difficulty, but I won't say how."

Then don't tell us in the first place. I'm happy for you but it really adds nothing constructive to the conversation.

@Nagle -- No, just no. Let's not even get into this again. Just because something requires growth doesn't make it a ponzi scheme, using what I'm thinking you are defining as a ponzi scheme. Elsewise all fiat currency under current capitalism is ponzi.

@Cluster2k -- GPU mining will be killed off within weeks, say wha? FPGAs are low watt, low hash, HIGH COST items. Unless FPGAs take off with huge huge huge investment no such thing will happen. That one FPGA guy back in the day might have seemed like big potatoes back when the network was 1THash, but he doesn't seem so interesting now (and I assume there is a reason why he couldn't leave his FPGA cluster running for more than a few weeks, such as it being borrowed from some lab or something). But then again if there is ever any serious dumping of huge amounts of money into mining it will drive out most everyone else, regardless of platform.
