Or my original thoughts of a wave of S7's would make you close.... but it's not looking good.  Which is good for us miners.

I just can't figure out how many S7's are being sold.  I thought a lot more would be I guess then I think happened.  And to be honest I'm not sure I want to buy one right now with BTC rising.  Getting 30 + more per coin puts those who did not buy at 230 pricing ahead.

we are filled in perfectly from -1.75% up to +6.25%  just past the halfway point.

+1.44% =  about 6.6ph  that is 1500 s-7's maybe 1400 that is around 9000btc

My conclusions are only bitmaintech is making gear in bulk.

KNC, Bitfury ,Avalon SP-tech are yet to launch their newer gear.

Great news is bitcoin is over 273.   So we have hit 270 again, guess we will see if we are able to hold.   I'm not sure we seem to have been going up and down around it.

But maybe we finnaly got rid of a lot of the sell at 270 auto sales.  I'm hoping for slow rise again.  And difficulty is still surprising no S7 wave.  If it does not happen within next period or so I will not know what to think.

[Questor]

I see little to no evidence of SP50's coming online... And SP did not reply to my inquiry to purchase 3 units.

Interesting reading the math around how many S7's are shipping, no huge spikes.  We may be trading power for hash for a short while longer if no other manufacturers gear shows.

I think SP50 is going to be some bulk sales once it hit's market. I don't know when that is. But I have a feeling you need to throw a few hundred thousand to get them to respond to first batch.   And also there no doubt will be a NDA, I don't suspect to hear from those who are on this order list.

Maybe later on they will anwser inquiries on a few.  But it will not be at first, and definitely not close to release without a NDA.

Price is around 277 so looking quite nice this difficulty period currently.   Hopefully this trend continues.

Bitwisdom is a little higher  but not horrible:

Price over 279 we are close to 280.... don't know if it will happen or not. I suspect in 280's some walls of autosells we need to get down before it becomes stable:

It depends on whether the market wants to test the next area around $290
Given that it's been holding and slowly rising we might see that level shore up support for the $300 test, it doesn't seem to be affecting mining significantly though as difficulty is predicted at +2% and were still waiting on units to ship.

I did the same, Phil.  Soon as it topped $300 I sold a couple coins.

hello!

me back from carpathian mountains!

3 nice days in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibiu

glad things didn't get out of control. price is a bit up but it was normal

so not so many s7 sold? knc sleeping. fury.... sptech none...

good times for miners!

[notlist3d]

One thing you have to hate or love depending on what side your on is sell wall's or auto sells.  I think 290 might be a little bit of a fight to stay over unless it is slow. 

300 to stay without jumping all around is going to take quite a bit of sells to happen I think personally before it sticks.  I would love to see 300 as a solid price though.

I like 300, too.  It's a nice round number, and it looks much better than 200. 

I'm not sure exactly what is driving the recent price increase, but it's nice to see the price getting back up to where it was before XT launched.  That really threw a monkey wrench into everything and was part of the reason we lost all that ground price-wise I think.  So maybe not so much making head way as it is gaining lost ground.

Well there's always micro factors impacting the price
Gemini while not a real player was touted and had a lot of PR so that may have acquired some attention, the same with the MMM schemes getting more popular in China and the 1mb issue quieting down a bit again.

I feel if this price backs down, that the difficulty will not move much more than a percent right now.

Only because difficulty is sort of stable night now. Nothing too large and nothing dropping hard. Bitcoin probably will continue this trend of up and down because it loves playing at $300. But doesn't stay there long.
