The day is only 2/3rd of the way done but so far we are at +34 %
my thoughts are this is bitfury putting the 175ph to 225 ph farm online it is a 50 Mega-Watt farm and it is real. SO unless it burns to the ground due to bad wiring we will get a 20% or more jump. But there is an interesting thing before new gear back in sept we had 405ph all at .5 watts or worse. It will go offline if price does not move over 500 usd. An s-3 loses money at 500 gh 400 watts at 10 cents a kwatt at a diff of 101 with the current price of 457 so the s-3 will give up the ghost next jump. there was about 60ph in s-3's So when the gets over 100 diff which it will by years end older gear will drop off.

It is crazy. If they can a dataccenter with that much power. It is crazy. I just am happy SP team has not got SP50 out yet. Imagine it jumping in to this. Good news is we are hitting over 460.. so good. But the difficulty is crazy.

Mining at 13.5 cents per kWh and an efficiency of 0.25 J/GH you need a difficulty of 285,605,589,549 to break even at today's price of $460..

An s-3 loses money at 500 gh 400 watts at 10 cents a kwatt at a diff of 101 with the current price of 457 so the s-3 will give up the ghost next jump.
there was about 60ph in s-3's
There are big farms like the one HaoBTC runs that are filled with S3s at less than $0.03/kW, so this isn't the end of the S3 by a long shot, we will still see multi-PH on the network from them. Plus they are still a great machine for the hobbiest who seldom doesn't care about price to operate (and also doesn't make up a significant network percentage). (pict from HaoBTC thread) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FsCGDR4b.jpg%26t%3D559%26c%3DJEuxRGOcPfP6jQ&t=665&c=z5jYQkkxekqaYg)

So most likely the diff jump will be somewhere around that area.

Personally I think it takes quite a while for gear to truly disappear from the network. With a BTC price in excess of $450, and locations where it's not hard to get electricity for less than $.05, lots of gear can still turn an operating profit. In addition, if a piece of gear gets sold, not destroyed, then it will be restarted. Nobody buys a miner with the intention of scrapping it. They are going to mine with it, even if it's at a tiny, or non-existent profit.
Sure a lot of big mining farms have gotten rid of their S3's and even S5's. If they sold them, then all they did was delay when and where they would hash. Only if they crushed them or recycle the hardware, did the hash actually disappear.
Look at all the interest by folks on setting up mining gear, with visions of a money-printing machine. Rising BTC price makes hash continue that might not otherwise.

But chances are they wont with current price. At 463 were doing pretty good. Not long ago we were at 320 for the longest time. It as very stable there. Now it's lots of jumps.

okay people 3 new members all joined the forum this month they are marked above. suchmoon and I have decided what to do with prize btc and prize compac usb.
NO New members will not be accepted in this contest they will need at least one month old account and decent postings.
I have put down how those three new accounts will be handled. AND no more new accounts.
And I am banning any more new members from this point on during this adjustment period.
No more for this adjustment. if you have been on this site for months , but not in this game that is okay!
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty ----------- (+19.91%)Bitcoin Difficulty: 79,102,380,900 Estimated Next Difficulty: 94,854,460,313 (+19.91%) Adjust time: After 432 Blocks, About 2.4 days Hashrate(?): 708,751,203 GH/s Block Generation Time(?): 1 block: 8.2 minutes 3 blocks: 24.4 minutes 6 blocks: 48.9 minutes Updated: http://btc.blockr.io/chartsDec 6 157 Dec 7 149 Dec 8 171 Dec 9 174 Dec 10 212 Dec 11 157 Dec 12 167 Dec 13 137 Dec 14 197 Dec 15 185 Once again a tremendous day 41 blocks over the norm! we have 432 blocks to go which should take 3 days at 144 a day more then likely 2 days and a few hours. note Dec 12 = 167 Dec 13 = 137 Dec 14 = 197 Dec 15 = 185 That swing is a good chance of a very big farm some say Bitfury has 50 megawatts and these swings have been tweaking of the farm. If it is 150 -225 ph and it looks like it they can't seem to keep it up and running so maybe just maybe it fails. Other then this we will be over 95 diff and around New Years close to 113.8 diff. 113.8 diff is 2x that of Sep 04 2015 56,957,648,455 407,718,729 GH/s price 230 Jan 1 2016 113,800,000,000 814,000,000 GH/s price 460? If the above is true and the network is ½ old gear .5 watts or worse and ½ new gear .25 watts you have done a push if you have .5 watt gear and if you have .25 watt gear you are better off then the sept 4 numbers. The point is a diff of 114 at a price of 460 usd does not take into account that the new .25 watt gear is better. if we stay at 460 usd the diff could be 230 before the .25 watt gear is hurting.

Price at 449 currently.... it took a little dive ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) . Not fun to watch it go down. hopefully stays up as this difficulty needs it. I'm wondering what caused the downward trend any info out there on why?

If you look at; https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/btce/btcusd6, 4, 2, 1hour... its all the same. Goes up a bit, goes down a bit less, goes up a bit more, goes down a bit less, over and over. And this one right now is pretty small, so i'm not worried.

Its still better then the average revenue that miners made throughout most of 2015, which was 0.01 BTC/THs but price was less than half.

Other than the Chinese "we can now take fiat currency again" announcements that caused the initial spike, I'm still trying to figure out why prices have climbed. There has been ZERO positive news for Bitcoin lately, and still getting those rumbles out of the EU about "planning tighter regulation for anti-terrorist reasons" crap.
Only thing I can think of (other than crazy Chinese investor speculation, or a BIG pump-and-dump) is that the Chinese economy might be tanking more than their government censorship is letting anyone know about.
