...but last november the total network was hasing at ~500 ph, and 3 months before, only at ~350 ph; now we can see 1.400 ph -last month added +500 ph), if you turn off all the old miners (including all the spondoolies and antminer s1, s2, s3, s4/s4+, s5/s5+ and avalon 4.0/4.1), you will have a network over 1.000 ph and growing -and waiting for the new bitfury's chip-, so i only can spect a rise in diff anyway.
I read that bitmain could have done an exercise of brute force, but with this they are putting out of the market their best miner. Even if they are doing that, they also are destroing their market and make no sense to build new 14/16nm miners, so i don't understant -not at this moment- what can they win.
BTW, if the last hashpower added is not from bitmain, who is doing it??
That is excellent point
I expect all old shit finally will sink (despite the fact that shit does not sink)
We will face overall mining hash power go down - as a result increase in price and decrease in difficulties (at least on 2-3 14days periods)
