Well, I am certainly guilty of doing this before, back when I first discovered the concept of renting mining rigs.  I have a 24 Mh/s rig currently running, but only for the next few hours.  It is still too big. and I realize sets a bad example.  I would like to get it back down to around 5 Mh/s  I first assumed that more power would be even better.  However that momentary burst of mining activity doesn't necessarily translate into generating significantly more coins in the larger scheme of things.  I would like to figure out how to use my GPU card, but never was able to get the mining program to run successfully on my desktop.  So I just do CPU on this computer.

As an aside to this, I was wondering if there might be some interest in establishing our own line of mining equipment that could be rented out to anyone who was interested in mining Quebecoin.  A sort of mini-betarigs for cryptobec.  We could charge a certain amount in bitcoins for the rental, and use the amount collected to help fund the project.
