Diff thread May 24 to June 6? picks are closed!!.... prize = 0.10 btc

[pusttiu]

bitmain is go to ethereum .....after the halvig btc in not very profitabil for all.
s9 is not for sale now maybe after bitmain make ROI sell used asic..

[alh]

With a BTC price in excess of $500, some marginal mining is now back in the black for another month, barring a price collapse. I wonder if this will let Bitmain delay an S9 introduction to the public. Give them more time to complete the S7 --> S9 switch inside their farm(s).

Interesting times indeed.

but the problem we have for btc is that current hash  rate is 1,407,000,000  and it can go to 2,200,000,000
 hash rate  overnight  which means  the diff rate is truly easy for someone to shift up and down at will.

this can't possibly be a good thing for any one in the game.


price at coinbase is just over  540

[notlist3d]

Value is just amazing hitting 540 + on coinbase, and it was not that long ago we were sitting in 440's.  So heck of a uptick in  value.  So it was suprising to see for sure, also surprising is difficulty is staying pretty reasonable.

I keep thinking we will see some gear come online seeing this.  But so far nothing big it seems.

they need to sell the s-7s.

so price will stay over 500 and diff will keep low.

once s-7's are sold  the shit should hit the fan.

I am not sure what they will do about selling the s-9.

My thoughts are they will delay the sale of the s-9 as long as the can.

Just mine with it. 

the diff ,the price ,the ½ ing   all factor in.

Sadly we lost a little going to around 531 currently on coinbase.  So still a heck of a bump though.   One thing is Bitmain is not only company, so we might see others with next gen first.  There is a post with some new BW chips - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1487358.0

If those chips hit target.... we could be seeing some hardware added sooner I would guess.  But hard to speculate not much info on chips.

So first full Day of the new Period and we did -4.17% with 138 Blocks. Slowish start this Morning and the Period to Date Run Rate sits at -5.9%. OK so far....

KNC is mining with 3% in the last 24 hours
https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs

In fact, this is their standard hashrate and given classic blocks have consistently about 5% over last few weeks and KNC is major contributor to classic blocks, I dont think KNC powered off their hashing even for one day since their bankruptcy annoncement.

Anyway, when KNC turns down mining, -3% can help home miners a bit (unless bitmain compensate by turning on +3% if bitmain really play games with keeping the difficulty constant)

Looks like someone just fired some power ! (or maybe just variance)

[philipma1957]

looks like the spike is starting

[notlist3d]

Bitwisdom has a negative now which is nice to see:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    199,312,067,531
Estimated Next Difficulty:    199,071,301,007 (-0.12%)
Adjust time:    After 1173 Blocks, About 8.4 days
Hashrate(?):    1,423,370,617 GH/s

And value is around 533, so still holding most of the value of the jump up.   So looking pretty good as far as this difficulty period goes.

yes we are in - territory.  so if we spike like mad maybe we go to + 3 for the jump
