171 on 5-17-2015  most about 95 of the blocks were last adjustment.  bitcoinwisdom still uses them for the guess in the future.

so above is 27 over norm of 144 for the day,  but only 10 for the 'real' count this adjustment.

143 5-18  -1        +9 running count
138 5-19  -6        +3
138 5-20  -6         -3
153 5-21 +9        +12
144 5-22   0        +12
110 5-23  -34      -22
145 5-24  +1       -21
141 5-25  -3        -24
144 5-26   0        -24
142 5-27  -2        -26
136 5-28  -8        -34


about 1646 made we should be at  1680

1646/1680 =  0.97976   - 1 =  -0.02023  or  (-2.023%) The real time number


https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty


370  blocks left      (-2.27%)  


And I am thinking   -1.0  to -3.0  as a good ball park  most of us are out of it for now.




Once again not much change price at 239 usd


Looking back I was pushing open - neg  spots at the end of picking time

rough math 5btc mining for 1 day is about 500th for 24 hours. if you rent at  0.0099 to  0.0102 a th.

the chance of 1 block  =  20%
the chance of 2 blocks =   4%
the chance of 3 blocks = 0.8%

next diff adjustment the chance will improve a tiny bit since we are going negative.

the 2 most likely issues are:

 your pool settings are wrong
next the pool you are trying to connect to is wrong


try this setting

stratum+tcp://mmpool.org:3333
philipma1957.B
d=1200


if it hashes stop hashing for me and try to write your pool settings over again.

when did sidehack label them.  I do not recall that in any of his threads.

Bitmaintech was not and is not terrible or unethical .

As of this moment pretty much the best asic company in the game.

Maybe we can expand to some other countries idea is to see if we get it going in the USA.

I can do escrow in USA pretty easy.

What country are you?

good i am here for escrow if needed if not just cut deals via pm

they have 3 cent power add.5 cent and they are 3.5 cents at worse. the s -3 is  .8 watts a.gh  the sp20 can approach  .4 watts

so to be on an even playing  field you would need 8 cent power.

I think this kind of move means very little diff growth due to new gear.

It appears building a new farm and moving your old gear is better $ move to make then designing a new s-7.

If I were bitmaintech I will be moving 1 valley north from this build .  my 7 or 8 cent farm will be a 3 or 4 cent farm

moving good gear in trucks to a new place at have the power .  the 2015 mantra where is the cheap power?

go to nicehash or westhash

rent 5th for as little as 0.01 btc point it at your mining site of you choice in under 1 minute you will be mining.

the advantage is  short term flexible and you can cancel whenever you want.

BTW I linked my info below. In my signature and that is an unpaid for signature this is how much I like nicehash and west hash  to rent and mine at ckpool

we had a mad spike at the end.  last time.  I am hoping we have a strong drop here.  maybe -4%

http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr


nice numbers above a stable 19 gh


 6 to   7 watts  for this testor?

After I hit the 2 blocks in and had 50 coins.  I dished out 45 coins to 9 miners.



I made arrangement for the next round to have ck give us a mining address. And he would dish out the coins. (for an extra fee) .

  Then the forum crashed so I decided I did not want to do this anymore. I went with the quit while you are ahead method.

I know ck told me he did not want a lot of miners in the pool in each round (10 or less).  We agreed to that but never went any further due to the forum hack.







In principle the idea is nice but when you do the work it is hard.

 Part of the reason the idea worked was I never paid a lot to hash as  I sat on the  2 sites West-Nice  and paid very low rates.
BOTS are good when you sleep but when you monitor on your own it is better then the bots.
I ran 20.5 btc in 3 rounds  and 7 btc with aurel57 at first  a grand total of 27.5 coins.
I never paid more then 0.0105 a th many times as low as 0.0095 a th.  this means more hours minings giving a better chance to hit.
The biggest problem other then dealing out the coins is keeping costs down. I did this by giving a lot of free labor.

A question back what does your power cost>

If you are under 5 cents consider a used s-3.



If you are over 15 cents you will most likely lose no matter what you buy.

So the best miner becomes how much do you want to lose.
What does noise mean to you?
What is resale value?

In the 5 cent to 8 cent  zone  I would say an s-3  if you are a complete beginner. why? it is under 100 +  a psu

you can learn mining on a decent machine.

if you are are 8 to 11 cents and noise matters get the spondoolies sp20 and down clock it to keep it quiet.

from 11 to 15 cents and you do not care about  a loud miner the s-5 is okay.

Site  is still down.
 
Most likely a scammer.

Also I am quite disappointed in Carra23   he asked me for months to sell my signature.  He then gave me this person with a really good signature deal.

When I take a signature on I try to check the company out.  A simple 15 dollar contract and I realized this BitcoinMaxProfit was not someone to sell a signature to.

I cancelled the signature deal But kept the 15 dollar contract so I could report back on this company.

Results are very simple I lose 15 bucks.

 I mark Carra23 as a mediocre promoter as best.---------Pushed this deal on me with a lot of pm's.

Quite frankly  very annoying.


I also mark BitcoinMaxProfit as a scammer.

Hopefully due to my actions this guy just gave up and no one was burned on the big contracts.

be patient hold on to the s-1's and he will have the upgrade kit ready for you and me and a lot of other people.

Read the link. seems like the s-3 will still earn money!

a 1 ph farm of s-3's    using .035 cents per kwatt  earns 1737 usd a day.

they may be at 0.025 cents and earn 1929 usd a day.

this farm would still earn up until the halfing.

How will this affect diff.  My guess is stable diff until 50 days or 100 days before the halfing .

I do not know what to think the halfing will do.

they cleared.  when we hit a lot in a row.  I think he needs to wait for confirms.

If you have very cheap power the antminer s-3 may be 'better'.  

Ie if your power is under 6 cents the s-3 may be more cost effective then the s-5.

Basically:

 2 s-3s can do  800 watts and  1000gh cost =  170
 1 s-5  can do  625  watts and 1200gh cost = 383


If your power  cost is low  enough the s-3 could be better.

529 blocks left    (-1.97%) just about a perfect match  since we got past all of the last adjustment in bitcoinwisdom's prediction model


Once again not much change price at 238 usd

yeah    you can look here

  What volts do you feed it ? 120 or 240?

that psu works far better on 240 watts.

So if you are feeding it 120 you are better off with the evga 1300  model.

as for surge protection I have whole house  protection installed at my circuit box
