Title: Diff thread Sept 12 to ? Prize = $50.00 Picks are closed!
Post by: philipma1957 on September 12, 2016, 12:42:04 PM
This is the final Diff thread  Been doing this a long time and I am a bit burnt out.

I jump prize to $50.00

picks will start at    1116  and end at 716.

Last jump  we had the rounding rule happen  the bitcoinwisdom number was 2.30%

but actual number was 225,832,872,179/220,755,908,330 = 1.02299808819346

that is a 2.299808819346 % jump

so

wpt1wpt1  had 2.2 which covers 2.20 to 2.29999999999999999999999....

pusttiu  had     2.3 which covers 2.30 to 2.39999999999999999999999....

so the actual winner was wpt1wpt1

I am awarding both the prize of $25

Since these thread were always meant for some fun.

I also bumped the prize up to $50  for the last thread.

And if the rounding rules happens again I will give two prizes.

I had a lot of fun here.  So to all that ever posted here  especially seriouscoin  thanks for posting and playing.

wow the last one.  Well thanks for all the fun times :)

Yeah  I just am a little too stretched to run the thread anymore.

I have the Solar Array going with the bad s-9 boards 2 of 18 so far.  I do not know how long the gear will last.
I have a lot in the ETH & XMR gear  which takes time.
I did my Kitchen and while it came nice  the contractors took 3x the promised time 90 days vs 30 days.

I also plan on 2 baths and a bedroom over the next six months and I don't want to get jerked around like I did this time.

Lastly I no longer have a signature to use to fund the thread.

We gave more then 6 coins away.  Of which I did 3  the other was funded by a different forum member.

I had a few donations from some guys that was good and made up for lost funds with bitfenix which was where I kept the funds for the thread.  All in all this was a lot of fun.

When we first gave away coins BTC was under 200 bucks  it is now near 610.
Diff was under 40  it is now over 225.
blocks were 25 they are now 12.5
s-3 was 500 s-9 was 2000

Miners were .8 watts in the form of the s-3
Miners are now .1 watts in the form of the s-9

So diff went up 6
½ is a factor of 2 
gear price is a factor of 4
so  6 x 2 x 4 =  48 worse


efficiency went 8 better
price went 3 better

so 8 x 3 = 24 better

so mining profit  is 2x worse

Hey All,

Phil is one my favorite on this forum and for all his hard work on this thread I would to be the first one to sent a gift (some BTC) as a small gesture of thanks. (I will be sending you something to your first profile's BTC address.)

I highly encourage all of you to do the same, but it is, indeed, up to you.

Hope everyone join me so you can buy some more of this adult's liquid we call Alcohol so you can enjoy it during your vacation from this thread and warm your heart for the incoming winter ! (Or maybe one more GPU !  ;D)

Phil, thanks you so much for all the hard work with this thread. It's been really a fun ride.  8)

Eh, I think it looks more like a 3 to 4 percent spike when you review the 24 hour average. It also appears that the hashrate is headed downward at the moment.

Thanks for all the fun running this thread Phil.  It's been really fun unfortunately this spike isn't fun.  I'm really surprised it's spiking up so high.  Goes to show how volatile this is and how little I know.

Well so much is in the hands of bitmaintech I feel they could 3x the hash/diff any time they want to.

BTW bitmainwarranty.com of Colorado is now selling  the s9 with

 3 day warranty
90 day warranty
180 day warranty
1 year warranty

options.  Which will sell the gear a lot faster.

They also will take paypal which means  you could get a 6 month free interest  from paypal credit and  a six month warranty from bitmainwarranty.

Phil, I really appreciate you running this contest for so long. It's been one of favorite ongoing threads on the forum.

That said, I understand that you need a break.

I think we'll all need a break after the next difficulty hits. It looks like it's going to be a monster increase...

Anyway, hats off to you and suchmoon (who originally funded the difficulty speculation game) for such a wonderful time!

Maybe Avalon 7


maybe s9 replaced s7.

A 47 ph s7 conversion to s9 would mean 120ph or about 75ph gain.

That would be 5%

maybe s9 replaced s7.

A 47 ph s7 conversion to s9 would mean 120ph or about 75ph gain.

That would be 5%

I think it might be more accurate to think of it like:

Current S7's get replaced, and then sold to a current S5/SP20 owner (NOT scrapped).

The new S7 owner then sells their S5/SP20 to a current S3 owner. The S5 does NOT get scrapped.

The previous S3 owner might scrap their machine, though they might also sell it to a current S1 owner. The S1 does get scrapped.

This isn't meant to be a precise sequence, but a different way to look at. It might be more accurate to think of the S9 as replacing S3's or even S1's. In that case, the disparity of the S9 to what is actually getting scrapped (e.g. an S3) is huge. This overall sequence obviously includes other vendors gear (e.g. Spondoolies, InoSilicon, Avalon, etc).

Obviously hash rate is being "destroyed" more slowly that it's being "created". So in aggregate it looks like a "new " farm, but isn't actually a new physical installation.

@ alh  yes gear shifts  like you said  an s-3 is worthless to many but not to all especially if they need space heaters.

Many USA buildings are over ac'd during the summer and people use a space heater to keep the office space comfortable.
I am sure s3's do this all over the world.  This type of miner need to be quiet so an s-5 may not help  but an avalon 4 would be okay.

I lived in NYC on and off for 30 + years.  I can think of 30 or forty spots for s-5's and s-7's to mine  where the noise does not matter and power is 'free'.

I am sure many 'off the grid' mines are all over the world.

I might go in on a +420 next time around, I never seem to get anything big with these picks. Still interesting to see the difficulty of bitcoin change, although I expect we'll be in the positives around round 4-5. Still surprised that difficulty hasn't jumped too fast... yet.

How does this work exactly?  How close does the number have to be?  The changes are listed to two digits and that is a very fine change.  To be able to nail a market change, down to the hundredth of a percent is crazy rough.  Or am I missing the boat somewhere?

Going to be just like the last drop I expect, where it just went down for a day or two before going back to normal. Probably just a guy phasing out old miners, nothing major. Probably just a minor everyday drop even, don't get too optimistic. :)

here is what 23 gpus in a 6.5k setup earn
and here is what 4 s9's  costing  7k earn

oh power used for eth coin is about 3700 watts
and power used for btc coin is about  5200 watts

warranty for gpu setup = 2 years
warranty for s9 = 90 days

all pc gear can be purchased via cc with
pc gear has resale value of at least 50% a year later.

maybe we see a shake up if this continues.

If you are bitmaintech do you think you should build some ethcoin farms as a hedge?

There's a cycle, a pattern, that you can see in the 504 block graph especially.  The peaks come and go, but each peak is a little higher than the last one.  I wonder how long this cycle can keep going?  From what I am hearing about the S9 failures, probably not too long unless someone else brings some killer gear to the market (cough cough Avalon where are you cough cough).

I LOST  the s9 control board on my newest s9 the one that lasted 10 hours before it tossed a hash board.

You lost the board? That's pretty odd... but really? It lost a hashboard within ten hours? Hope it still has warranty, because Bitmain's hardware quality is going downhill sharply and it looks like buying extended is going to be a good choice in the future.

Avalon has supposedly already released firmware bits for the A7, and it seems like a 6-7 TH/S miner- not too big, but it could hit home with smaller scale miners and home miners provided it's quiet enough and efficient enough to buy over the S9 or R4. Then there's price...

I assume the ellipses after the price comment is to say that Avalon will be expensive?  There's the old adage "you get what you pay for", and Avalon produces some top-notch hardware.  The same cannot be said for Bitmain, i.e. Buttpain.

And coin price is not to bad I like seeing it above 600 personally, want it higher but will take this over a big drop.   There was a small one midweek but still remained in high 500's.  

It appears estimate is a tad higher now on bitwisdom:

No  your range included +7.00 to + 7.0999999999999999999.....

the number was +6.82     and we have no winner this time.

So while I did not want to run any more threads it looks like the universe has a different plan for threads then I did.

So one more last thread.  I will boost to  $75 for the prize.  To make it easier to win  picks will start at 916  and end at 616.
