Looks like today will end as a negative day also. Finally 2 negative days in a row. Maybe we will get a break next difficiulty adjustment and end up flat.
It could go back to under 5% . I pretty much have been saying this was bitfury's 180 to 225 ph farm the last two jumps.
If I am right we should be okay until others put in a monster farm.
The s-7 and avalon 6 sales do not kill us the super farms do.
In North America in the last 3 days there was a heat wave so many that's why some gear is powered off like Bitfurys.
the heat wave was last adjustment not this adjustment.
but if you check Russia where the bitfury plant is it has been pretty cold around 40f.
so the heat wave idea is not so much of a reason why you have a negative.
remember we have just had 2 big jumps. most of which can be placed to bitfury.

Nov 11 2015 65,848,255,180 5.77% 471,360,171 GH/s
Oct 29 2015 62,253,982,450 2.25% 445,631,364 GH/s
So 566 ph jumps to 743 ph about 180ph
I figure bitmaintech sales and avalon sales in that time to be a max of 10,000 units or 40-50 ph
so the minimum of 130-140 ph = bitfury
Since the Nov 11 date was the first big jump the network moved from 445 to 743 say 300ph.
lets say bitfury started slow build up at the 445 mark and added 200 ph and all other gear was 100 ph this is just about the entire jump and we could
go flat. for 2 jumps or all of jan 2016.
also tax laws vary but getting the gear online like mad in 2015 could have a lot of tax advantages for the big companies.
All spec on my part . The good thing is maybe jan is a 2 % and a 2 % jump and then we do a rush in feb.
