Thanks for setting it up, I did not want to impose on you.
Looks like the summer heat has not put diff into negative drops. My guess is companies are swapping older gear with newer gear.
I think you are right on with this. Look at bitmain's next batch of S5's "[Second Hand] ANTMINER S5 BATCH 7" . I am really afraid of this and wish they would explain more.
I'm worried they sell used S5's clean out data centers then keep first X numbers of what ever miner is next for them. So the S5 goes to a hobby miner, and a data center gets an upgrade.
Again all hypothetical for all I know these are just warranty ones that were fixed and I am reading to much into it.
And not a problem at all enjoy your vacation!
this is undoubtedly what is happening.. manufacturers are preferring to profit with their own hardware by mining than retail these days.. the end of small scale home mining is nigh
also the end of my sandwhich
of course just look at KNC if you are sceptical, why should bitmain behave better? they are both in it for the money
