I have done just that. For the past 10 days or so I run 8TH here and 8TH elsewhere.
Look at this:
http://home.comcast.net/~bacanj/btc/BAD.jpgThere is another pool out there with ~12,000TH that solves a chain every hour or so, on average. The payout is less, but it is distributed.
For them a bad chain is 3 hours long.
Right now on Bitminter and with current difficulty to computing power ratio easy chains, let's say 15-20 hrs, are awesome.
However, 84 hours to solve ONE chain? Or 77 & 74 hour chains one after the other? You don't make enough to cover electricity costs.
Bitminter becomes kind of a lottery now. Easy chain: you make a killing, anything more it turns into disaster.
