I would just love to know where all this hashrate is coming from?!?!?!?
How is it possible to deploy multi PH farms in a matter of a week / days???
How is it possible to even build hardware this quickly?!?!
Seriously WTF?!
Its extremely disappointing!
Well, I just run a couple SP20's now for heating my place ... if you're a home miner at this point ur strictly doing it as a hobby or on stolen power rofl!
Buying any new hardware for a home miner is never gonna ROI unless price skyrockets which most likely wont happen anytime soon.... if ever...
Scrypt mining w/ an effecient ASIC is where its at now for the home miner. Theres still a really good profit margin when mining w/ either a Titan or gridseeds(forgot their new name) hardware.
Lastly, when the halving comes, many large farms are gonna see a massive rude awakening ... either price is gonna double(doubtful and it already has taken into account the last couple months price movement) or farms are gonna shut down(more likely) .... but most likely its gonna be a combination of both. Like LTC's recent halving.
Also, the reason I think the price has already adjusted(nearly) is because it doubled from the low 200's we were at for these last couple months ... which is EXACTLY what happened w/ LTC's halving, a month or 2 prior to the halving its price saw a really large bubble ( $1.50 -> $10 ) ... then the halving hit and the price eventually settled to $3(double what it was for a year or more) ... hashrate has barely budged.
Of course, I understand what happened w/ LTC doesnt predict what will happen for BTC halving, but its a very similar trend thus far.
as to your above on the titan miners its true.....BUT without some kinda price rise (BTC with LTC tagging along or something) when SUMMER or I should say 'heat' comes
I am beyond screwed....on PAPER it should work ...but it is one thing to have 2 titans at 2500 watts heating your house and a reduced winter electric rate from 13.7c kwh
to 0.0966c kwh so again ...the price better pop before such....or even us Titan owners are gonna be scratching our heads about how far to take home miners
but yeah we are killing it this winter ..but soon heat will be a problem and the increase in electric...so these prices for BTC and LTC can't hold for home miners for sure
but likely some data halls are gonna be facing the same issues at these prices (esp btc with difficulty rise) even if doing scyrpt or LTC due to same summer heat issues
just saying ...I see a cliff ahead of sorts...and no 'price bridge' in sight and still running at a full gallop ...all very exciting till the sudden stop!
Anyway just to put the above from a guy running 2 Titans as a perspective so to speak
