Frankly guys, it's time to shut off the miners and find better ways to make a profit.  Sure BTC is moving up slightly, but there is no way the ALT-COIN market is going to recover.  There are more than 291 altcoins on the market with more coming out every week.  Even if BTC were to increase by 25-30% of it's current value there just isn't enough hash rate to go around and these new ASICs will NEVER ROI.  It's a losing proposition for everyone not on a free electric grid.  

I invested 2K in mining equipment and I have only recovered about 60-65% of my original investment (and I started in DEC of this year).  

At least 1K of it was in GPU's which I can now use on gaming, so not a total loss.  (I made back a little over 1.2K USD in "mining" after electricity and I pay .07/kilowatt - which is better than most.)

Prices are a fraction of what they were in JAN-FEB ... anyone who invests in new mining gear will be lucky to recoup 25% of their investment.

I keep checking back here to see if profits make an out of the ordinary jump like they did when white coin came out, but other than that I'm done.
