Although, it finally dawned on me that the Goal of Campaign #1 is actually less than a single BitCoin is worth right now...
The BFLs would never pay for themselves. Use to much electricity. The Rockminers have a slim chance depending on your electricity rate. Assuming the national average of $0.12 kW/h, and assuming you paid $74 for your rockminer including taxes and shipping (that's what i paid), After 7 months of 24/7 mining, your profit will be $9.12 If you pay more for electricity than that, forget about it.
Just did the calculation for Antminers. They will never break even.
The *actual* Bitcoin difficulty is 16,818,461,371. Make sure you give the pool servers a warm kiss for saving us from that
