Title: 10% hike in bitcoin difficulty is coming soon...BFL customers how do u feel? Post by: smoothie on March 18, 2013, 05:11:40 PM This 10% difficulty hike is only the start. Usually it is a snowball effect...
I predict at the end of April we will be at 7.5 million difficulty...easy. Cutting into mining profits....nom nom nom nom.

Edit: I'm not a BFL investor though. Title: Re: 10% hike in bitcoin difficulty is coming soon...BFL customers how do u feel?

You know what? you might be right (or slightly off towards 7.8-8 million)What do you think the price will be for bitcoin?

Post by: joshv06 on March 18, 2013, 07:15:59 PM Even with a predicted difficulty of 6143596, my quad 7970's will get ~$10 a day rather than now's $12.70. I guess it's not too bad. Any other GPU miners actually not too upset about but BFL delay? I have 2 pre-orders for ASIC SC Singles, the delay has aloud me to make on average $300 a month for the past ~6 months ($1800), and has heated my room during the cold months, while getting more of my ROI on my quad 7970 rig.
I would completely understand someone who is new to mining and made pre-orders, I would be pissed too. Especially those who sold their GPU rigs around the time that the ASICs were supposed to be released. Title: Re: 10% hike in bitcoin difficulty is coming soon...BFL customers how do u feel?

Post by: tvbcof on March 19, 2013, 03:40:17 AM If BTC prices continue to rise, the BFL guys and their sloppy seconds may be OK after all. Assuming BFL delivers anything that hashes at all that is. This remains a big 'if' to this day in my book. Of course if the BTC price continues to rise the pain of handing them over to BFL as pre-order funds, or not simply buying them for fiat (back soooo many months ago) becomes that much more painful as well. But that's a sunk cost and water under the bridge now. |
