Do I like his methods for images not that much, but he works very hard at getting rid of spam and bs links. which I like a lot.
So it is a mixed bag.
If I really cared about deleted posts stats it would be annoying as he may delete back to back posts that are 2 days apart.
Some threads are informational and the info changes.
I personally make no coin on that style of posting as I don't have a signature that earns money.
So at times I will double post 2 or 3 days apart on this thread.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214026.0My position is that even though the posts are back to back they are not for bumping they are more like a weather forecast for a farmer.
Merging them serves no purpose.
A post on tues with 1 set of info
a post on thur with a different set of info. should be kept separate.
As many miners of btc can safely expand or contract their mining.
And since the diff is 2 weeks before it changes you can have an effective safe short term plan with the new info.
I personally don't think it should be merged. Many of my deleted posts are due to this issue.
Here is an example.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5214026.msg54851897#msg54851897this post has July 22 info
today is July 24 the info is almost identical
It means that s9's on free power are a safe bet to buy and set up right now. Assuming you get them local and set them up quickly.
Why is this true s9's are dirt cheap and you are pretty certain about the next 17-19 days of difficulty
If it changes a lot in 2 days to 3 days you may not want to buy 25-100 s9's and set them up.
Mining is like that now a lot of complicate economic choice needs to be made for a lot of 'small' business miners.
I would prefer some posts to not be merged. Such as this and the op's not to be shrunk.
