This seems to be a common problem with the latest bunch of people who bought mining hardware. Too many have no idea what they're doing, have done next to zero research, and expect to just get rich overnight.

Some of the emails, posts, PMs, and support requests I've seen along these lines have been pretty ridiculous.  I seriously should make a hall of shame for such things.

Example: Some guy bought a 5Gh/s miner for like $100 not long ago and was expecting something like 100% ROI *per day* and was trying to claim that I was stealing his profits somehow...

If you are referring to me wizkid057, you are completely mistaken and completely out of line. I have been doing nothing but acquiring information for the last 2 months.

You were the one who asked the question about low estimated earnings.  The fact that the cause was obvious based on the difficulty increases points to you not understanding something at the core of bitcoin mining before purchasing and putting hardware online.  Anyone who actually did research would already have known exactly what was going on.  If you had truly been "acquiring information for the last 2 months" then difficulty vs income would have certainly been one of the first things you came across.

Not going to turn this into some ridiculous argument, but I'm certainly not "out of line."
