@biodom. Not sure who the new pool is. I'll do some digging.  They just popped up in last months. And they aren't a small pool.


Edit>>Meh another Chinese pool.  For the size I imagine it's bitmain or the likes. https://m.facebook.com/viabtc/

Phil you added me instead of Valkir at that position. I took +4.2.

Thanks

Thankfully it looks like the spike has peaked and is on the way down. Hopefully this averages out to a more mild increase.

Even though the peak hash has dropped off it's still currently sitting higher than it ever has in the past.  I honestly expected a bit of a slow down after the halving, but things just keep going up and up.

I just think it is funny how wrong all of the doomsayers were about the halving and the 1MB block size issue. I heard so many people conjecture that the hashrate would drop significantly and that we would have trouble solving blocks because of the difficulty.

Still 900 ph in s7 and  avalon 6 has to do something to keep hash rate down.

Maybe they are an anchor   and rates would be closer to a diff of 300 if it were not for them.

+8.2 = Kexkey

They wanted to wait September, but the temptation was too strong, they not only replaced three 28 nm for one 16 nm miner, but they also plugged a few more 16 nm and some also got their 14 nm up and running!

 

Who are "they"?  Bitmain, Bitfury, BW, ...

Exciting!

[notabeliever]

there are or is  900 ph  of s-7 and avalon 6  and it is going to become worthless over the next 3 months  diff has to slow or drop.

Thats my guess.  Lets see how bad it is on sept 1 then oct 1 then nov 1

I ran my Avalon6 all last winter and spring, but I've had it off all summer due to heat.  I had always planned to bring it back online once things cooled down again, but now I just don't think it's worth it.  Maybe as a lotto machine run a few hours here and there just for fun, but yea all that gear will be falling off the network fairly soon I bet.  I even ran my S5 all that time, too, but doubt I'll ever turn it on again.

My S3 and S1 I keep around in a box just for the memories hehe.

The electrician finally fix the fried circuit. The blow dryer and Avalon were fighting for awhile so it took one hot night in the basement. So yes I was out all summer too. Still use the compac from time to time. Sold the S5 intime but am stuck with (2) S3's
I'll fire up the avalon6 to see if it wasn't damaged and run it while at work. Saved $300 a month on electricity and still can run my 2 pool servers on the cheap.

Thanks, I actually meant 3.2 but typed 3.1 through sheer idiocy ...

Either way it's probably too low.

It's looking like almost 9% now. Damn...

Bitwisdom is not horrible:

I'm not sure what to expect coming in future with R4: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1596886.0 .  Pretty drastic change in miner design will be inserting to see how it does, it should give 120 people something to be happy about.  So unsure how much this will effect difficulty if bitmain will use design internally or keep with bigger miner's.   Or they could have like a R4+ for internal looking at it there are 2 unused hashboard spot's ready to be plugged into and many without a connector.  But all guesses there.

Price I am decently happy with so far this period as no big drop's it seem's.  I have kinda slowed slowed down watching price and posting currently I have really gotten into 3D printing and it's taken up a ton of my free time.   

[philipma1957]

3d printing sounds pretty cool.  better then spending more then 4 hours in a hot loft fixing the solar array miners.
