Thinking of things close to that link I love the google document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qmF2knc5rSrJLESgQJYBz8mPzpKihmSzPPQUGH7pT8g/edit#gid=1784567491

Is it you Phil setting this up each difficulty change on the google doc?  I thank who ever is doing this.

jmumich have to  check spelling  .

That is correct

his profile is here

Still a work in progress but it has been nice to use.

He took my ideas polished them into the sheet.  really nice work.  He is using the charts from http://btc.blockr.io/charts

I am good at raw data interruption .  Also I can find the 'good' data but the presentation of it is not my best skill.

These numbers show hash shifting off btc. to another coin.  Not as much as paycoin but the most significant case since paycoin late last year.

Short term it is nice to mine at 30 to 40% excess.  I am renting on nice hash in the p=0.0138- 0.0145 range right now.

Unfortunately BTC price is down to $225 as I type this. So difficulty down, along with price.

Nicehash is dropping quickly on it's pay.   Will be interesting if we see hash start to go back over to BTC.

For sure, another thank you here, too.  Very cool to watch this stuff in real time and see it evolve.

Well nicehash pay has went down quite a bit.  It appears people are returning to mining btc.  Below is current bitwisdom:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    49,446,390,688
Estimated Next Difficulty:    48,637,535,481 (-1.64%)
Adjust time:    After 781 Blocks, About 5.5 days

with 63% of this set of blocks done it becomes hard to go up a lot. I think some left the TRON coin and started to bring the numbers up.
I think people like me nearing the summer and close to the profit margin turned some gear off.

This summer I may only night mine to cut costs a bit.

Unless you live in an apartment I see no reason to shut off mining gear in the summer. Just put it in a room you don't use and open the window and shut the door.

Thank you, I have just been searching for information about this topic for a long time and yours is the greatest I've found out so far. However, what concerning the bottom line? Are you positive concerning the supply?

You obviously don't live somewhere it gets hot.  You open a window and it gets HOTTER inside.

Or someone who has not done much mining.   I have been working on getting my summer area ready.  I do not want to use AC as it's to expensive to use to cool miners.

This year I will be trying to use good exhaust of miners and drawling in new air.    It's going to be a heck of a lot of work, but worth it in the end.

[alh]

If I am reading things correctly, it seems that the recent WestHash "BTC Rental Rush" is over. I think I just got my SP20 all rigged for it, and it seems that WestHash will only pay .0068 at the present time. I was kinda hoping I could see if I had it all rigged correctly, and then it fell below my .0100 threshold.

I guess the "Tron Pump" is over and we are into "Dump"? This seems to mesh with a return to BTC mining?

[alh]

My current summer plan is continue to dial back my SP20 to it's minimum viable power usage, and hence minimum heat production. It's current location is in the basement, but still within the total AC envelope for the house. I have never had this powerful a miner, and never downstairs like this. I'll have to see how it works out.

it seems that miners know well how to predict the price, when they see a down trend

and for thath reason sometime i think that the price is following the hash, normally it should be the contrary....

Bitwisdom has not moved much. Seems the jump of miners from renting is done.

with 1389 down and 627 to go negative looks pretty likely .  My stock -1.01 to 1.25% has a shot.  Remember heat is coming for the Northern Hemisphere

price is 223 usd. If I mine at a diff of 50 a price of 220 usd in the summer my power is 18 cents. my avalon is breakeven on a big down clock to 750gh.

I will mine at breakeven price or even lose 1 dollar a day to mine. but others are turning gear off.

Isn't it better to just sell your gear instead of mining at a loss or shutting off miners?

I sold off 13 sp20e's
I sold 1 avalon 4.1
I sold 2 s-5's
I sold 4 s-5's hosted in china

All sold to prep for the summer.  Most likely I will run the avalon 4.1's at ck's solo pool underclocked to 700gh each.

I will burn about 725 watts an hour or 24 x 725 = 17.4 kwatts a day x 30 = 522 kwatts a month at 18 cents = 94 usd a month for 3 months or   just under

300 usd for a shot at a block.  I am also holding some coins.   I may buy some more.
