Yes, EAC is
equally profitable as any other regular 10k/block day.

Because the profit-takers 'think' it is more profitable... it will only be profitable when everyone has forgotten about and the die-hard EAC miners are the only ones mining... no matter the block reward.
Yup. You have to count in the irrational.
Like that 42
OMG so rare! 1 42 is worth 1500 BTC. Duh... but you'll never own ONE 42 :rolleyes:
