Wow very useful information! I'm sure this will help out lots of people. I noticed you only focused on ASIC mining in the article. What about GPU mining? I don't have a mining farm, or some huge expensive mining rig or anything. Over on my Blog I'm going to be starting a "From Faucet to McLaren" series kinda deal, and in it I will be explaining about my mining rig and how profitable it is. If anyone would be interested in what I'm doing, come follow me and stay tuned in to my posts :)
