Dec. 9 is the one year anniversary of receiving my KNC Jupiter. Difficulty has gone from 707M to 40G. My expected earnings have gone from over 3 BTC a week to barely .25BTC per month. Been with Bitminter for the entire time (excluding a couple of days of testing early on). My thanks to the Doctor. Just felt I needed to mark the occasion.

That's absolutely awesome! Congrats!
I too, just crossed my 1 year anniversary on BitMinter, back on Nov 25th. My first shift completed was at 2.3 Ghps. I was absolutely thrilled (and using the BitMinter client for my Block Erupters). I'm now up to 1160 Ghps -- and lurking around #250 overall. I incrementally added (and later removed) a Jalepeno, a couple of Cubes as well as two S1's, followed by an S3, upgrades for the S1's. I've mined over 5
BTC during this time and BitMinter is the ONLY pool I've ever mined in. It's been great! Not a huge operation nor particularly profitable, but it is fun, nonetheless (I have really cheap rural electricity which helps).
I also have made over 100 LiteCoins in about 5 months + all of the merged mining coins that go with that, too.
