So why are you bolding "for profit". I am still mining and making quite a LOT of profit thankyou. YOU are the troll. Do some proper research before making such a "bold" statement. Idiot.
I'm guessing you've already paid off the cost of your hardware. If you've done that, or you're not buying hardware specifically for mining, it should work out to be profitable for users with decent ATI cards.
Yes I've paid off the hardware from mining quite a while ago and in the very near future my energy costs will also be zero (see other thread on free UK solar panels). It's very profitable for me. I also hold quite a few bitcoins too and will speculate with those at a later date.
