Thank you all very much for your replies. I'm unfamiliar with "ramping" so I will study up on that. It sounds like I should bring the miners over 1 or 2 at a time to get rolling, or just "all at once"? Sounds like transitioning in steps leaves less downtime overall.

(You will get paid but only a portion till you are fully ramped up[snip] ...but don't forget that the portion you don't get during your ramp up will be paid as you ramp down if you ever stop mining--just like how employers held your first paycheck. You never lose it per se. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Speaking of eBay, the sold Avalon6 prices are approaching an average of $300 each!
Due to the age of those miners, recent difficulty increases, new miners coming out, and eBay risks, is it worth it to consider these anymore, or should I just wait until I have enough for a 741?
I would say it depends on how much they cost and your cost and availability of electricity. If you are running them 24 hours a day on electricity purchased from the power company - you will be better off with a 741. If you are running 6 hours a day on surplus or free electricity of some sort, they could be a better choice. You have to do the math based on your individual situation - but for most full time miners you will be better off with the 741. All depends on your power outlay. If you can afford a bunch of them, vs 741's or s9's (821)...that's where you have to decide how much buying those are vs buying something newer.
Thanks, guys. It'd be on 24x7 @ 8.5¢/kWh (4.5¢ supplier + 4¢ distributor) from the power(hungry) company, which is why I'm almost talking myself into waiting for an 741 since they're effectively half the power consumption per TH. |

Block!!$$
So I have no idea how it works really, I kinda do but not really. The 5nd.....it seems to be increasing rather quickly lately compared to in the past. Is this because of the forks and everything? Also does anyone feel like the difficulty is going to be rising at this rate on a constant basis or can the diff actually go down at some point or just stop rising. I don't know, if someone who knows about this stuff could explain it a bit that would be amazing!!!

At the risk of blowing up the ebay prices, there is a seller (ecpar411) that has 10 auctions for soon to be delivered S9's

Just received an email from ebay - it was a scam: Our records show that you recently contacted or received messages from ecpar411 through eBay's messaging system.

5ND has been decreasing with more hash being pointed here. More and more machines coming online = difficulty increasing. Going to need some quiet weeks (or violent downturn in BTC price) to get things to flatten out or go negative. |
