On the brighter side, ETH difficulty is down.

What im saying is this is the start of the difficulty drop.

Sorry to say, but I think you just can not see really clear ... I would say actually this is the start of a real difficulty jump ...
I hope im wrong

But the year-long difficulty trend is still up up up.

When difficulty is temporarily down, even more miners will join, assuming they can get more shares of ether...

Expect a bounce soon.

eth soon, $2k, a huge money bagger will come and buy all eth up to $2000, you heard here first. If eth devs dont do something about the eth asics then difficulty will be 10 times what is now since it will be official.

It is very likely that the production facilities have not been shut off, but switched to other coins with greater growth potential. And it is not necessary that the Equihash algorithm.

i think the slower increase in hashrate can be attributed to some 3gb cards not being able to mine any more.
This will be transient of course if the F3 is real and will be launched shortly. Time will tell whats true and what isnt

Looking at the hashrate it looks like sometime this week we will see a brand new difficulty. Maybe even tomorrow.

Even after the 3Gb stopped to mine and people with 20-30cent power pulled the plug, the difficulty is still climbing.

Not sure if still trolling but hopefully you're right about the price of ETH. Can't wait to sell my bags and buy a house. Goodbye parents!

With regards to difficulty tho, i wouldn't be so worried. Eth devs are really active and i can imagine they have contingencies for this sort of thing.

The problem is that until there is a confirmed actual ETH ASIC, all those reports are still only RUMORS. I wouldn't factor them into the equation.

S7 , S9 , D3, L3, L3+, X3 from Bitmain all come forward as a rumors For some reason all those rumors become reality ...
I would say its pretty much confirmed ...

Finally did you get the official confirmation ? or are you still skeptical about ETH ASIC ?

Hate to brag about it, but i'm still right. Check out the charts. Have you seen it lately? ETH difficulty is still dropping. So i guess i was seeing clearly after all. Its pretty basic really, ETH price is down, threat of ASICs confirmed, everyone will be selling their rigs, drop in difficulty. Thats all i'm saying anyway.

What im saying is this is the start of the difficulty drop. Have you see the charts today? Still on a downtrend right? Thats because there is no way that people aren't rattled by this. Mining was over hyped a few months ago and those newbies are now scrambling to sell their rigs. ETH difficulty will go down esp. if this continues for a few weeks more. Some people mine at $0.2 and look at daily profits you know..

Perhaps the objective miners who sell their returns daily will be scrambling, but your operators who have their eye on the big picture will be appreciating everyone's fear and escapes.
