can we say: looks like the ~+5% is here to stay?!
i mean it is not from variance but from added miners
The increased difficulty we saw last round seems to be carrying onto this round
So it is a possibility that the network is seeing a stable miner growth preceding the release of new miners and of course cooler temperatures

Yeah I agree. S-5 was .51 watts S-7 is .25 watts a major improvement in power use.
S-5 = 1150 gh
S-7 = 4875 gh
a major hash increase.
Last winter I ran 12 sp20's and 3 avalon 4.1's along with an s-5
I downclocked all the gear for noise and heat.
and I was pushing 15th to 16th
That is 16 pieces of gear. I used about 7-8 kwatts
3 s-7's will do 14th at 3.6 kwatts
This is a major improvement. People are going to be installing s-7's and 5% to 6% for 3 jumps looks like it will happen easy.
I still think network goes flat at the 70 diff point.
I simply think bitmaintech will stop sales for a month. They did this with the s-5.
