Diff thread Sept 12 to ? Prize = $50.00 Picks are closed!

[HerbPean]

There's a cycle, a pattern, that you can see in the 504 block graph especially.  The peaks come and go, but each peak is a little higher than the last one.  I wonder how long this cycle can keep going?  From what I am hearing about the S9 failures, probably not too long unless someone else brings some killer gear to the market (cough cough Avalon where are you cough cough).

I LOST  the s9 control board on my newest s9 the one that lasted 10 hours before it tossed a hash board.

I feel the pain ... just bough 6 RX470, i will try to mine with that for the time been

Avalon has supposedly already released firmware bits for the A7, and it seems like a 6-7 TH/S miner- not too big, but it could hit home with smaller scale miners and home miners provided it's quiet enough and efficient enough to buy over the S9 or R4. Then there's price...

I assume the ellipses after the price comment is to say that Avalon will be expensive?  There's the old adage "you get what you pay for", and Avalon produces some top-notch hardware.  The same cannot be said for Bitmain, i.e. Buttpain.

And coin price is not to bad I like seeing it above 600 personally, want it higher but will take this over a big drop.   There was a small one midweek but still remained in high 500's.  

It appears estimate is a tad higher now on bitwisdom:

This week I still kinda had my time spent mostly on 3D printer.  I have had countless project's I lost track of time on and been a fun week.

No  your range included +7.00 to + 7.0999999999999999999.....

the number was +6.82     and we have no winner this time.

So while I did not want to run any more threads it looks like the universe has a different plan for threads then I did.

So one more last thread.  I will boost to  $75 for the prize.  To make it easier to win  picks will start at 916  and end at 616.
