Something has happened here to antpool

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1161655.new#new



9 hours since its last block.


https://www.antpool.com/poolStats.htm



and the networks block count has dropped for today to a 130 block pace

Borked upgrade to XT perhaps?

Whatever it is - thank you AntPool. Your sacrifice is appreciated.

Hmm does that mean Antpool is trying to run on XT or something? o.O

I don't know, I'm just trying to start a rumor

They finally got a block after 10 hours or so. Thus it make you wonder if something happened or if they were simply very, very unlucky.

4 +s in a row. I guess there is still chance for another + in diff even if the price fell sharply.

Id like to get +2.26% to +2.50%

"Something funny" is always happening with Antpool, I'd never mine there because of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see + difficulty adjustments until the end of the year.

Price is over 220 again.  Nice to have a little was above 200.   Hopefully 250 by next few changes.

200 is just pretty hard to keep mining myself at.  If that became the norm I would have to find a new place for my older gear, I could still host new gear.

my winter prices are coming soon.. 13.3 but the heat is worth 3.3 so 10 cents net. 


at ten cents and 217 usd  the s-5 works

I'm looking foward to winter.  I will be able to turn off a few fan's and use the cold air.   Not a huge savings but still some savingss.

I chances are will leave 2 big fan's on and exhaust fan, that and winter I should be set.   I am honestly surprised I made it through summer mining.  But happy I did it.

http://nextdifficulty.com/ is showing a little less on change, antpool luck could have some to do with it though:
Conservative: 2.3% 3% Continous: 5.1 %

Price is around 222 so not horrible there.

It seems like the price rebound may stick this time, which doesn't bode well for a decreasing difficulty adjustment anywhere in the near future. Sigh 

I was really hoping to see some slowdown before the S7 comes to fruition, but the S5+ and Bitfury chips aren't letting that happen.

I've noticed it's been following the fiat market trends during this recent downturn.  Markets are up, bitcoin is up, and that means difficulty will be up, too.

We are almost there.  Less than a dollar away from 230 again.   So that is nicer then the 200.

Now if we could only hit the 250 again.... or more.

+4.26 to +4.50% for me please.

I think the low btc price saves us from a big jump this time... With the new hardware around, the diff increase just can't stay this low.

Well good for us miners.

[valkir]

 +1.76% to +2.00% please!

We really don't know what they are doing with S5+ either if it was one batch to get rid of chips or not.  They have managed to get a good amount of hash out of S5+'s. 

And whenever they do go to new chip they no doubt will be pumping them out fast.  I'm afraid our day's of 2 percent jumps might be over for a bit.
