That's an interesting thought.  Let's assume for a minute that every miner in the world but you shut down.  Isn't the difficulty level reset every 2 weeks (give or take) based upon the number of blocks solved and hash rate?  If absolutely no blocks are solved (or maybe the OP gets lucky and solves 1 at the current level), how does the network react?  Isn't the algorithm designed such that blocks should be solved on average every 10 minutes?  If suddenly no blocks are being solved, wouldn't the difficulty level be recalculated immediately such that blocks again are solved every 10 minutes or so?
