Dave you could use an s17 with a transformer
set to 980-1000 watts it would be okay with 120 volts.
That works too, but the overall cost for this project will likely be discouraging. Back to the difficult discussion. Latest Block: 655560 (15 minutes ago)

We are about 3 days in and seems like we are keeping the difficulty at bay, with bitcoin price hanging around the 15k levels, I would be more than happy to see a difficulty increase of no more than 3% as I mentioned before, in fact, I will still be happy with 5% increase if the price remains above 14k. at current prices and high transaction fees, even an S9 at 4 cents per Kwh still makes 0.7$ which is a lot for S9, many mining gears become profitable at this combination of low difficulty + high fees + high bitcoin price, this is why I am not even hoping for a drop if none of the two latest factors chances. |

Yeah I think a 4-7% diff can happen. It depends if we go a lot over 16k which we did not do so far.
But if we go past 16k and stay we will jump somewhat higher than 7%.

It was announced yesterday/today, so I doubt anyone has it hands-on. Would love to see them in use as well, but we will have to wait.

mmm that new gear looks like my waiting was the right thing to do.
it can upgrade from
7nm to 5nm to 3nm to 1nm
it may be the final stage mining gear format.
Does anyone have any specs?
or is it vapor mining gear.

there must be some trial site somewhere where they are running them, esp those bigger mine farm.
I was hoping someone know someone, and could take some video of them in action.

That looks like the true form for industrial grade mining.
I wonder if Canaan and MicroBT will also come up with the same format.

remember a few years back when there was talk about reusable cases with built in fans/psu/controller with some sort of backplane you could just swap boards out for newer ones? it never really took off iirc. but now its grown up it seems. if the rack has all plug and play cooling and power, the backplane now is the rack and the bare miners are swapped out to upgrade. |

we got back 6.86% as I type price is good. 15,250. up from 13,632 on nov 3. about 11.8% price jump since Nov 3 jump. I certainly will sign up for 6% in diff and 11% in price jump after jump. |

As I said in my previous post, I will be more than glad if we don't go past these levels, I mean look at this:  In mid-October we were at 19.9T difficulty and price at 11.5k, we are now up 30% in price, so even if we go back to the 19T level in difficulty, we are still good. |

The cryptodiff website is becoming so annoying and hard to browse with all those ads they have on it now, anyway, good for him to start profiting now, it has been a great difficulty analysis tool. We are only hours away from the adjustment, 4.30% up is not something anyone should complain about given that we had a 16% drop in the previous epoch, now all eyes are on Xinjiang, if the lockdown is over then the next epoch will also be +% but this time it will be a bigger jump, if not then we should stay within the same range until December.

It is affected by difficulty and hashrate directly. If we stay on same global hashrate with small difficulty increase, it will mean that we will be getting less blocks per day therefore higher fees. If hashrate drops a bit after diff increase, that will be even more noticeable in avg fees. |

Fees are affected by hashrate/difficulty, although the demand for the transaction has a greater impact on the fees but still.
With that being said, I think what phill is trying to say is that the transaction fee is affected by difficulty and not the opposite, and based on that difficulty doesn't care about fees, and so it doesn't perfectly fit in this topic.
You both make sense, perhaps if we look at it from a different perspective we can actually keep it here. Less fees = less mining profitably = less hashrate = lower difficulty! , but since this is phill's topic, of course, he would do whatever he sees best.

So, we are back to 17.59T difficulty which was a 4.8% jump in difficulty from the last epoch, not much considering that we are above $17,000, man old gears became profitable again and are going to jump back in, also mining gears in china coming from the riversides to Xinjiang might make it in time, these two factors combined will easily trigger a large jump of at least 10-15% if they both remain active.
Interesting times ahead of us miners, we are making history.
