I hadn't heard of it before, and I haven't really had a reason to look for other services; F@H is set-and-forget and I'm at rank 160 on the team atm. Woot. \o/

@ShadyHost What exchange are you using? Before I've used Cryptsy but it has been in "maintenance mode" since March 28 according to Twitter as well as to have garnered quite a negative reputation. 

Stay away from Cryptsy. I've heard stories of people losing many coins from their accounts because of them.

Oh so Ethereum is still a better idea (but not necessarily a good enough one to make it worth my time) than other coins that are PoW? Could I mine one of those anyways and hedge my bets that it becomes more popular and rises in value or is that very unlikely?

Sorry I'm kinda a noob here as far as mining goes and am wondering what PoW is and PoS?
