Title: Price sensitivity
Post by: yochdog on September 09, 2011, 05:13:04 PM
It looks like we have reached a point (with BTC around $5-6) where marginal miners really start to shut it down.

Just watching the Deepbit hash rate the last couple days has shown a drop of almost 600 GH/s!  That is a massive amount of mining power going by the way-side.

I think it will be interesting to see if that is a permanent loss of miners (ie, selling their equipment), or if most will stand by, and turn them back on at higher prices. 

I suppose the silver lining is that my 10,000 MH/s now comprises a larger slice of the pie.  More BTC for me!
