Everyone who was following our news letters and company closely and started mining within the first 24 hours has at least one block worth $300.
Everyone who started mining in the second day probably has half a block worth $150
Everyone who started mining in the third day probably has a quarter a block worth $75
I don't know about you, but that seems like a pretty good deal, especially when PTS reaches the market cap of Mastercoin you can add a 0 on to each of the above numbers.
Sure you may only get 1 PTS per day now, but in a month that will be like $60/day if you hold it. I would wager that if you mine consistently for the next month you will have at least $500 worth of PTS per machine.
Also, as the difficulty rises the cost effectiveness of cloud computing falls which means that individual users can start to make money mining again. As long as your profits are above your electric costs you are good to mine!
Perhaps if I had shifted the decimal a few places you would feel better.
