I'm now taking a different approach. I've stopped mining UTC and instead moved to whatever is the most profitable coin for my rig with the intention of selling it to buy UTC. I'm not sure UTC being one of the more profitable coins to mine is actually helping us move the price up. Instead I'll happily buy the UTC these miners are selling to restrict availability

That's exactly what I've done as well.
Which coin and which pool are you mining? Fastcoin has always been good for me but it has dropped back a little, Auroracoin looks pretty good but difficulty is high. Current top of the list at
Coinwarz.com is PenguinCoin

I've been switching around some. Blackcoin, Neocoin, Darkcoin, Auroracoin. Haven't done any Penguincoin yet but I'll check it out.
