I'm hoping it stays close to this.  I would be very happy with low 2's.  Or even mid 2's.

But I'm not sure what will happen at end of chinese holiday.  Could see a jump from new machine in S7's.

that is 98 blocks in 17 hours  we should be at 102  so we are at a 139 block pace.  This would get us under  0 for the first 1100 blocks.

Yeah we will pick up, but if shipping really picks up on the 9th the gear will not be in place until tue the 13th  so we could see -1 to +2 this jump.

-0.64%  is real time number!  amazing


with 933 block left there is time for this to move higher then the current   -0.6   but to reach + 2.36% by Weds morning may not be possible.
   I actually can see a negative   -1 to + 1
  as the most likely numbers to happen.

Would be very nice but i very much doubt so. There's still sadly still 1 week left and now more S7 will start getting online. The BTC price is decent. Winter is coming. I don't see much factors that would make the hashrate drop.

It already seem to be spiking upward with the last graph update. Its going to start being rough profiting with our older hardware.

Could it be bitmain shipping off some S7 batch 1's before weekend?  If they did this it would save them from compensation.

Still amazed some people are waiting on batch one.  I'm hoping batch 2-3 does not shoot up a lot when they go to.  Good thing is amount focused on antrouter as it is so little of hash.

We know some are getting  shipped: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1165628.msg12640702#msg12640702

378063 (Main Chain)   2015-10-09 00:06:47

this is 71 blocks in the time we should have done 79

that is neg 8  we were neg 5  so we are neg 13

we have made 1141 blocks we should be at 1154 blocks


so we  are -1.12%   with 875 blocks left.

If we use this current number right now I win but no surprise for me.

Seriously I am interpreting  all this and what I get is Bitfury KNC SP-Tech have not deployed much new gear or they are doing what I say every asic builder does.
That is take old gear that sucks power offline  say a 1000 watt 2th machine gets replaced by a 600 watt 2.1th machine  so that builder has a tiny bit more hash and way less power  used. Thus profits rise.

   I guess it is a good thing if this is continued this way. 

I still say we end up between -1 and + 1 this time.
I could use this as it makes my s-7's pretty nice gear.

The only thing I wonder is what is happening with this old gear?  Seems like it would be good enough they would not want to trash it.   I guess they might do upgrade kits as it's their own data center.

It does make sense though that they would want the 1/2 power costs.  It's all about being low cost at this point.

I've seen some bulk used equipment sales - only the really old stuff is going offline completely. They don't sell it to consumers as they want "as is where is, no service" sales on the used stuff.

If it was still profitable and they had the power and the room why would they take it out of service? That is unless you were Bitmain and you were selling 2nd hand miners.

Only reason would be cost of building another data center.   I imagine it takes a lot of guaranteed profit to open another one. And add employees it just get's more expensive.

On Bitfury I wonder on upgrades as I don't see them messing with selling to public on gear.

[adaseb]

Anyone know why the difficulty is going down slightly? Are any S7 units getting shipped?

[philipma1957]

Anyone know why the difficulty is going down slightly? Are any S7 units getting shipped?

people have received shipping info over the last 10 - 20 hours.  So no question that s-7's are shipping.

Does it mean bitmaintech took 4ph offline and packed it for sale maybe.

Or maybe KNC/Bitfury/sFards had a fail and a big plant went offline or maybe both.

The good thing is we are absolutely in Neg territory as I type.

115 blocks actual vs 128 norm  so far   .  6 x 21 = 126 + 2 = 128     that is a neg 13    we were neg 5 so we are 18 blocks off a 0 pace.


we have 1185 blocks made  we should be 1203  so 1185/1203 = 0.9805037 =   -1.496% even bitcoinwisdom has dropped to +1.43%

No one picked under -1.50%  would be funny if we got that low.

[Mikestang]

The only thing I wonder is what is happening with this old gear? 

Old gear ends up piled in a corner somewhere waiting for the e-recyclers to come and haul it away!  Most of the time I don't think it's cost efficient for large operations to spend time setting up old gear, even if it is still viable to run (on paper).
