The only entity who'll make profitable money off of this is Binance (and all the scammers who'll inevitably use their likeness to push cloud mining as "profitable" to more victims). It is well known that buyers aren't going to make a margin of profit off of any cloud mining product unless they run it for a long time and Binance doesn't screw them over by dropping the rewards later on.

Even running them for long enough is very likely to yield profit, but either way, let's run some math here:

Cost per th for 180 = 13.1580$
Estimated profit with both difficulty and price staying flat: 12.6$

Scenario 1: both stay flat > you lose
Scenario 2: difficulty gues up while price goes down  > You lose more
Scenario 3: difficulty stays flat while price goes up > You win (only if prices increases more than 4.25% for the average of the 180 days)

Scenario 4: difficulty goes down while price goes up > you win more

so in 2/4 you could win, although the conditions needed to win are less likely to happen, especially the difficulty part, it just doesn't go down, so it's more like 30% chances of winning at best.

All the above is in respect to fiat, let's run the same thing in respect to BTC.

Cost per th for 180 = 0.0004464BTC
Estimated profit with both difficulty and price staying flat: 0.0004274 BTC

Scenario 1: both stay flat > You lose
Scenario 2: difficulty goes up while price goes down  > You lose more
Scenario 3: difficulty stays flat while price goes up > You lose
Scenario 4: difficulty goes down while price goes up > you win (only if difficulty drops more than 4.25% for the average of the 180 days)

1/4 you could win, but only if difficulty drops more than 4.25%, is that impossible? nop, is it very unlikely? indeed?

So you are going to need to be very , very lucky to end up winning anything out of this.

I think Binance could be setting up a trap for the naive folks with its 180 days packages, anyone who buys the package =<180 to the halving will certainly end up losing despite any condition.


Oh ya, not to mention that in the rare event of difficulty dropping and packages start actually yielding profits, Bitmain could just end the deal as that isn't against the agreement you have to sign.

"It's no shock that the current heat wave beating down on the Phoenix area has been nothing short of record setting.

Wednesday's projected high temperature in the Valley is 119 degrees, which, if it even gets to 110, will keep the current 26-day streak of days of 110 degrees or higher alive, pushing it to 27. Additionally, those in Phoenix woke up to a low of 96 degrees on Wednesday, one degree short of the all-time low of 97 degrees set on July 19 last week, making 17 straight days of having the daily low temp at 90 degrees or higher.

The July 26 low, however, did surpass the previous daily high low of 94 degrees set in 2018."

Temperatures reached 103 degrees Thursday in Austin, our 20th-consecutive day. Hazy skies continue, brought on by a cloud of African dust. Austin’s air quality is expected to be moderate due to the dust through the coming weekend."

Current Pace:   90.4356%  (200 / 221.15 expected, 21.15 behind)

Obviously, it was just a fluke, sorry but I don't believe a 10% to be possible because of a heatwave unless the grid goes down completely in all of US

Current Pace:   95.4291%  (347 / 363.62 expected, 16.62 behind)

147 blocks later and we're 5 blocks over the speed in this interval.
Blockchair shows 148 blocks in the last 24h

Btw, the funny thing, the weather in Europe is getting colder, you should see London or Rotterdam forecast, all under 20C for a week,  but since we don't have cheap energy I guess it doesn't matter.
My temperature monitor says that even with 9kw output they haven't managed to raise the temperature yesterday to pass 22 degrees in the basement, that concrete bunker is just sucking heat. And it's July!

Scenario 4: difficulty goes down while price goes up > you win (only if difficulty drops more than 4.25% for the average of the 180 days)
1/4 you could win, but only if difficulty drops more than 4.25%, is that impossible? nop, is it very unlikely? indeed?

Ok, I know how my record list looks like, and how my predictions have ended, but on this one let me be blunt:
It's NOT going to happen!

The price staying at least the same and the difficulty dropping on average for 180 days 4.5% ? Why would it?
Second, the package was sold out for 2023-09-30 ~ 2024-03-27, so, you're locking your coins now to start mining two months from now?

If grid went off completely in USA hash rate would drop over 40%

I do agree early numbers under 500 blocks are not accurate so -10% is high.

But at 445 blocks in we are -3.04%

we will be at 50.6t

over the 2 jumps

53.9 down to 50.6 is pretty good for summer heat.

I agree with phill regarding the heatwave/s, the only logical reason as to why difficulty has stopped increasing as much for the past couple of weeks is due to the hot summer in major mining cities like Texas, if this continues, then august should be a flat month in terms of difficulty, as we approach September we should start climbing again, the usually 2-3% per epoch.

yeah heat will fade in late august or early sept and then onwards and upwards.

Keep in mind as of today, LTC is hitting it's halving.
How many people that were power or heat limited are now going to be switching off their scrypt ASICs and turning on their SHA ones?

I'm using rigs that are so old for both that in the end that although it's probably going to be more profitable to put the SHA back, due to the time and effort and gas to get to them it's not gong to happen for a while.

But the larger places, that have staff onsite will probably just swap over depending on their equipment.

$6.37 earnings

if it burns 80 kwatt at 8 cents  you are losing 3 cents.

Ya but with the expected difficulty change that is coming in 3 days, the profitability will be 5.9 cents, terrible for 7 cents, not so good for 6 cents, we are very close to 6 cents being hardly profitable which is usually the worst it can be.

This only changes if price bounces back up, or difficulty starts slowing down the next epoch and makes a negative adjustment.

Current Pace:   105.4325%  (1536 / 1456.86 expected, 79.14 ahead)
Next Retarget (earliest):   Tuesday at 9:59 PM  (in 3d 3h 52m 40s)

3 days left, 5% up, too little time to see any major players turning their gear off or turning them to make a dent anymore I guess.
Based on Viabtc numbers income si at $0.063 per th/s.

The last S19pro that was on sale will make you $6.3 a day burning 72kwh, you're above $0.087  you lose money, if you don't use additional cooling, you don't pay staff, you don't pay rent and you don't pay a lot of other things. Looking back at older gear , S17, you make $3.3, 48kwh, and you lose money at $0.068. If it goes below 25k and the hash rate doesn't drop at least a bit in the next adjustment after going up 5%!!!!! something fishy is happening.

Hey, Alon here, I upkeep the difficulty estimator. And yes, the site did change, but hopefully for the better. Newhedge now offers more mining related insights, and also allows users to set custom alerts for our metrics (including the difficulty estimator). Also, you can expect 0 downtime.

Nice to here from you. Your website has been well used here.

I gave you some merits so if you post every once in a while you will make some rank.

Thanks again.

Happy to provide a useful tool to fellow bitcoiners, and thanks for the merits.

Also, if you want to view the diff estimator in dark mode, you can signup to Newhedge. It's free. Add "Bitcointalk" in the company field on signup and I'll approve the free accounts right away.

Hey @bitrawr can you at least use the word 'approximate' or put correct error ranges on your values.
The ranges are usually wrong.
