Sorry man, but there is a definite decline in profitability in the mining market. Below is the profitability over the past 7 days from Nicehash for the 1070 (and below that the profitability for the past month). There is clearly a decline. I did the same for multiple GPUs, including the darlings of mining, the RX range. They all indicate a decline in profitability across all coins. It's simple economics - the higher the supply, the lower the margins. Seeing as there's an influx of miners world wide, the margins are lowering almost daily. Yes, there might be fluctuations each day, but the general direction is downwards.

Because there's no point going back that far now. Most people - including you and me - only jumped onto the mining bandwagon in the last month or so. I highly doubt we'll see the high profitability from mining that we saw the beginning of this year again soon. The market is currently flooded with mining hardware and people will be jumping between new coins as they emerge to try and get a return on their (quite sizable) investment. It's still a satisfactory ROI for people who were mining at scale mid/end of last year, but I doubt the rest of us will swim in the profits of mining using a rig or two running at home. Hindsight is 20-20, as the saying goes...

Mining is only a thing because, some people got rich of BTC when it hit huge gains earlier this year. Sorry to say but, it's a little too late to get into the mining business. Proof of stake is coming, and difficulty in mining increases almost daily now. There is also the serious volatility of many of the currencies, and people see it as a get rich quick scheme. It's sad because it was not it's original intention.
