What’s the expected increase this time?
And do you have a good site to track expected increases?

I use to use a few but they’re all outdated now

I use https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

I found this to be a good source
It shows what pool just got the last blocks, Network difficulty with estimated increase or decrease(we wish). Real time hashrate of the network and hashrate of the top 12 pools.
Hope this helps and I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting this link https://btc.com/

I saw a few people are picking up some antminers, I have 2 $100 dollar coupons if anyone is interested.
Take care gang.

If the miner is restarted for some minutes. Does this affect the earnings in somehow? Or in any bad way?

Unless its for a couple of days, not so much. I've had a couple of power outages(12hr) and saw no effect. This is a PLUS side of the
"ramp" in the pool.

Nope, that's the beauty of 5Nd...you could have a miner down for a couple of hours and it would hardly register as a blip on your chart.

In a few (some) minutes, you're right back up.   Little to no harm done.


MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

call me an optimist but with some blocks taking over an hour to solve and the profitability of mining in the toilet at the moment im hoping it will go down

For every hour long block, there's blocks that are solved within a few seconds/minutes.  It all evens out.  More and more machines coming online = difficulty rising.

lol i jst keep seeing the long blocks i guess perhaps im jst watching at the wrong time but i dont understand why someone would be in a hurry to turn on new machines. with the market in free fall its unlikely they will even pay off the machines now let alone energy costs.

I'm in a hurry to turn on more efficient miners. Personally, I'm in it for the Bitcoin. The price is still higher than last year at this time. It's tax season in the U.S. and the stock market is down. Major FUD in the media speculating, speculative, speculation. Not so much a free fall. It is the nature of this beast, and these trying times will make or break noobies. If you're in it for an instant paycheck, you'll shut down. If you're in it for the long haul, you'll make ends meet, and move on as if nothing ever happened.

S7's here, come get your S7's. Cooooome and get 'em folks; ripe, sweet and warm S7's now. PM me if interested. They are operating on Kano pool and it would be nice to keep it that way. PSU available.

And hopefully get some relatively good deals on new miners as the manufactures adjust pricing due to the lower demand...

Of course, "relatively" is very relative.  Is it a good deal to pay $2000 for a miner when BTC is at $7000 vs. paying $4000 if BTC goes back above $14K?  I find contemplating such things a short path to making my head hurt.

Sorry to say, but don't expect to get much for those.  With coupons, I could buy V9s (relabeled S7s by all accounts) for $16 each plus shipping.

Before that crazy surge to just short of $20,000, Bitcoin was around $1200 for a quite a while.  So, while I wish the price was higher, this price is pretty dog gone good, if you ask me.

I'm fully aware of the market. Fact is, people are still looking and they are still selling. I'm not worried about the BTC price and neither are many miners looking to add more equipment for cheap.

If you can get them for $16 then why don't you stock up?

I tend to agree, but difficulty is also up.  One needs to consider the cybercoin equivalent to "inflation adjusted".  Perhaps "Difficulty adjusted"?  Depending on when you pick, that would turn your $1200 into something like $4800.  So we would still be in OK shape, just not wonderful (or in December "giddy") shape.

They are power hogs relative to current tech.

They still have value. I'm not saying one is going to build an empire of S7's. They served me well and got me started. I'm ready to increase my efficiency with bigger and better miners. Someone else may be in the same beginning point and look for S7's.....and I have some I am retiring while also trying to keep them on the pool. You are right that they won't be very much, especially if you knew what they cost at the time they were purchased.

I think right now I’d just buy btc instead of more miners. Unless difficulty dropped  and we started hitting the block lottery.
