According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Both Bitfury and Bitmain are producing high efficiency miners. A lot of them are used by themselves. So the race will be on for some more time. |

Maybe. They have 6 months to make some money off of it before the halving. Halving is coming. The usable life of a miner is just 6 months. If you cannot ROI within 6 months, you will never. So They should have planned for that. What you talkin' about Willis? I got S3s that have been going nonstop for over 16 months and will continue well past the halving. And I'm sure lots of college kiddos "leeching" free power for 4 years at a time. For me mining ROI is a secondary consideration - my main concern is keeping the network distributed. |

I know your first consideration is the free power. Without free power, there is no way you will ROI and continue mining with S3. |

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.
I am trained in guerilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.
You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.
Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.
But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.
You’re fucking dead, KnCMiner

You're not going to get anything good from posting here. Honestly you expect us to believe that US Marine Corps have nothing better to do then hunt down people who scammed you lol. Sorry i know I shouldnt even reply to this attention seeking post but srsly whud. Gotta admit some taught gone into writing the above post. Some albeit not alot |

The US dollar has appreciate against other currencies, so there will be fewer mining operations there. |

Remember bitfury because they were partners of bit-x, if I am not wrong. Would love to see the cloud mining service working again, it was good for me.
Anyone here uses bitfury miners?

Bitfury also supports the 2MB block size. So it is good for the bitcoin network.

Maybe. They have 6 months to make some money off of it before the halving. Halving is coming. and the halving is bad why ?. if bitcoins keep going up how they are the halving will have no effect at all the only thing i see bad is 12.5 less coins per block and higher difficulty, i don't see that as bad unless the chip makers try to shut out everyone and mine for them self, which is possible, but some one will come a long and stop that unless the laws of the land stop home miners or make it to hard to do it in your home, by law. I don't think they ever planned to do it. The article says that they "announced mass-production of its full-custom design 16nm Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Chip". But even if they were so "evil" that they only mine for themselves with the chip, I bet someone else would develop a similar chip or would just pirate this one. ) as a business unit they would diversify their business ,rather than developing the machines just to mine for themselves they will be earning a good profit selling the machines . |

If the miner is made according to the 0.1J/GH specification, that is 150% more efficient than the S7. It will dominate the market. |

I don't think anybody can mine profitably at present with $0.25/kwh  . I am paying $4k/month to lease an office that I use less than 50% of the business days, just trying to recoup a little bit of the rent with the "free" electricity while supporting the network. |

You need quite a few S7 to consume the $4k/month electricity cost. Will the landlord know the difference to the power bill? |

Will the landlord know the difference to the power bill? you need a massive farm for that, because one s7 consume only $45 at 0.05 electricity and less at lower electricity of course, soem farms use even a lower electricity so we are talking about a 500 tera farm already |

I'm not trying to sound doom and gloom... But, could this be the beginning of the end for home miners? I've always believed that Bitmain uses their technology for awhile, before making it available to public. At some point advanced machines won't be affordable to the public. Mining has been a small yet fun and affordable hobby for me -- and I hope that it will continue...  I don't see why you're realising that home mining is dead now. It was dead as soon as the first ASIC came out. AFAIK bitfury is a private mining company, not a pool. They probably have a huge-ass mining rig in the middle of nowhere. |

seems like the only miners you can run at home are more of a toy then something you can make any real money with
The Sidehack USB sticks are a nice choice or possibly an old S3 those weren't to noisy. Everything from bitmain after that was way to noisy and draws to much to run on any normal home 110V electrical outlets
