Difficulty just jumped again:

Break even:   ~ 149 months
Complete reward:   ~ 164 months
Current infrastructure:   267.77 MH/BTC
New infrastructure:   ~ 2857.14 MH/BTC

And it will rise again and again. At this moment it looks pretty bad. Possibly we will never see our investments.

I agree, and I have even mentally started to discount the value of my Pyramining investment to zero. It is sad, because I fully believe that pyramining himself has done everything he could to make this venture a success.

Perhaps this article is cause for little bit of optimism? It makes a lot of sense to me...

Pyramining has stated that he still has some cards play in the form of new investments that he is willing to make for the benefit of all account holders. The question is, when will difficulty plateau? Will it fall after it reaches a peak as high-cost miners quit mining? Will Pyramining be a low-enough-cost miner to remain profitable and get over the peak? And, how long will 1st generation ASICs be the dominant technology?
