Looks like we're getting close to the amount of unconfirmed transactions that were in the market when BCH went up to $ 2,500. Difficulty Rating also shot up today. What does it all mean?
Higher prices generally mean greater mining profitably, so if the difficulty has just shot up, it could mean some miners are taking profit at these new all time highs, but then investing that profit back into some new ASIC hardware. It would make sense from a business perspective to take advantage of such rapid gains to expand the farm. Expect difficulty to go even higher once a new hardware manufacturer
launches their miner to combat the dominance of Bitmain.
Those Halong Dragonmint miners are unproven. 5 minimum order with an April delivery. Risky order.
WTF is a Halong Dragonmint miner? Is it like an alternative miner like the S9 ant minter? Is it like an ASIC rig? What is it?
I would love to know more about these myself, so I'll jump into that. Good competition for Bitmain would be great, but if it's a half-assed implementation that fails, it will actually hurt future competition.
BTC dominance is holding at around 35% right now, and I'm honestly not happy unless it is at between 49 and 51%, but we're not going to see that until these fees go down.
