According to this calculator [0], in one month, you can expect to earn $20,724.53 dollars (ignoring price changes, difficulty changes, and operating costs). This seems too good to be true, however. Invoking the old adage, "In a gold rush, sell shovels."

I wonder what effect all this has on the Bitcoin economy. If everyone begins doing this, then it will become extremely difficult to mine any Bitcoin without any sort of gear. Feathercoin [1] appears to try and stop this, although I am not sure how effective it is.
