I decided to put one mining rig to mine 1 ETH. Very slow project despite averaging over 320MH/s.

I let this one go. Now I am at the point where I want to mine something else but I will likely let it ride until 1 is complete.

With some of this stuff, you need to look at it a bit differently. For example, XMR/BTC hitting 0.0170 today was a buy trigger which did fairly well. I had been waiting for that to hit for a few weeks now.

Also, what ends up happening is that marginal miners will stop after a few days of poor pricing if it does not recover. As a result, by the end of the week prices/ difficulty stabilize.

When I was at 30KH/s for Monero I loved when the network difficulty would drop.

Well I can tell you i'm not out, that's for certain, I have an investment I need to recoup on ....lol.

Either way, gotta watch it all closely and will diversify.

Just waiting on the rest of the GPU's and Motherboard now.

hmmmm I'm using the 2x NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti 4GB (PNY) = 297H/s
...
I'm doing worse than @Patrick
As I recall, Patrick used something like a dozen 1080 ti cards to reach that hashrate. You're not going to even come close to that number with two 1050 ti cards. That's like bringing a slingshot to a bazooka fight...
