We can talk about it as much as we want but we can't change it.

IMHO, this is the best mindset and attitude to have towards the whole era we are currently in, and historically, it is how I have always viewed my headlong obsession into BTC.
I said, 'one day this desktop tower won't be big enough for the hardware i'm going to need'
and...
I still say, 'one of these days there is going to be a 40% difficulty increase in one single jump'.

But that doesn't mean to say i should stop mining when the desktop tower is too small or that i should let difficulty drown my meagre *TH/s rig.

When looking at the bigger picture, I was overjoyed when this company came forward with their SP10. Heck, even the whiny high pitched 68dB of it was kind of soothing to me... it meant that I could still keep up with difficulty without relying on some ponzi scheme to earn me BTC.

When Spondoolies begin their cloud mining (whether it be independently or in partnership with others) I just hope that they can offer the most usable service, with the most transparency and customisation options available.

I want to be able to mine on the smallest pool i can find and i want to wait sometimes over an entire month for my pool to find a block... I don't want to be tied into mining on a fixed pool, with tiny increments of BTC dribbling into my wallet once every couple of days. I'm just not able to budget very well that way.

In saying that, i don't think a proper cloud mining venture needs to be exceptionally complicated - simple pool choice and failover options is all, for one, I will really  be looking for.

I do think however, and knowing price of electricity where Spondoolies are based, it may be more frugal for SP-Tech to partner with another company in a less expensive region of the world to run a cloud mining farm... should it happen in the future.
