Looking at the stats from Poolpicker

http://poolpicker.eu/

It appears profitability for Clever and their colleagues have gone down by half from the end of Feb to the end of March. Can we expect the same decrease by the end of April from where we're at now?

So around the end of February profits were pretty steady at .01/Mhash, now they're steady at around .005/Mhash....so by the end of April are we looking at .0025?

Not picking on Terk here, all the pools have had the same decrease, but just curios.
I'm not sure. By some rough math, around 0.003 BTC/Mhash/day is when a lot of people will stop breaking even on electricity costs when running GPUs and electricity higher than 0.15c/kWH. I think we will see a lot of hash power drop around the barrier which should stabilize it for a bit. I'm just guessing though.

I don't expect the hashrate to drop. While GPU miners might drop out, there's a very large amount of gridseed units hitting the market.
These have a much lower power requirement and will happily keep on crunching through the lower profitability.

Even without ROI, these units will be kept running by someone as long as they're more profitable than the power they consume.
