Well, we've seen far worse increases back in 2013 when all the first ASICs hit the market. If you ignore the development of the last week or so, we've practically seen a stalling of the hash rate growing. Also it can only continue to grow in this way if the BTC recovers at least to a certain extent.
I certainly hope you´re right. But wasn´t the yield much higher back there in 2013 ? And of course the cost of equipment and mining contracts. Now it´s much closer to zero. One GH costs typically what .001 plus or minus ? Unless difficulty levels off that zero can approach pretty quickly Well, it depends... The BTC price is pretty low today. If we saw prices of $1000 again, the costs of running the cloud mining would be substantially lower, and thus the yield per GH/s would be higher -> If the BTC price goes up, the AMHash contract gives you a higher yield.

If the BTC price goes up. How in the heck can it go up given that the marketplace is self regulated and decentralized and a bloody libertarian´s wet dream and therefore totally out of control, crime ridden and bereft of pretty much all security, confidence, interest and therefore also of what it would take for it to go up, that is volume. There is no volume. it´s paradise for short sellerts. bitcoin isn´t going anywhere but down until confidence and trust in its marketplace is firmly established.

Anyway, since mining is such a great thing that those big mining operations expand their operations at an exponential rate the least they could do is support the price of their product. I mean, it looks kind of suspicious when production capacity grows the more the price of product tanks. At least it would in the real world.

At least no meaningful capital. So, there´s no volume. Today, maybe 20 million dollars over 24 hours. Best days, maybe 50. Microscopic. Compare that to FB $3 B average vol per session GOOG 1 B AMZN 1.5 B AAPL 5.5 B to name a few wonderdogs in the stock market. And since this is a currency. Forex turns over like 5 trillion dollars per day.

Well, it keeps dropping.
Estimated Next Difficulty: 44,205,535,534 (+8.77%)
If they can get it down to 5% I´ll be pretty content.

Total hashrate has tanked down to 299,221,090 GH/s, was like 320 a few days ago. Since the rate was 290,919,288 at the last adjustment on Dec. 30 I guess this means around 3% diff increase but not Estimated Next Difficulty: 44,750,738,113 ( +10.11%) if these figures can be trusted, that is. https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficultyi really do not want any difficulty to go up, but people say the difficulty needs to go up for price to go ....... still waiting . I will gladly take the 3% increase instead of the 10% any day of the week lol. The only problem is where do you see the 3% i just went to link you posted and i see on the site says 8% ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

I guess it´s just another bitcoin scam. Nothing to see here, stay calm it´s just business as usual. Turn the equipment up like crazy but when a few hundred blocks are left they turn it off, ending flat as hashrate is concerned but with 8% diff. increase, scamming 8% off customers´payouts next period.

It better bloody drop to 3 to fucking five percent by Monday or I´m going with this story where it gets meaningful attention. I very much doubt that would bolster any the tanking confidence in bitcoin and its marketplace.

Hashrate 12/30 290,919,288 GH/s
now 289,753,185 GH/s
On planet Bitcorn this results in
Estimated Next Difficulty: 43,968,106,968 (+8.19%) Adjust time: After 360 Blocks, About 2.4 days
Look, the apologists in any cult have all sorts of excuses but unfortunately that doesn´t work with the common man on planet Earth as has very well been reflected in cratering confidence in bitcoin and its marketplace.

Diff prediction is dropping slowly, but two days left. It definitely will be obove 5%, my quess is 6.5%. Bitstamp started trading. Price dropped a little bit. I think we may see divs below 600 mark...

Under development Modular UPGRADEABLE Miner (MUM). Looking for investors. Changing one PCB with screwdriver and you have brand new miner in hand... Plug&Play, scalable from one module to thousands.

Shouldn´t AMHash 4 be arriving any day now? Two weeks ago I thought it would be at .0008 but now it´s looking more like .0007ish. It´s low but still not that close to zero. Thoughts ? Let´s see, the mining industry fabricates a few percent in bitcoin difficulty twice a month, bitcoin tanks at a 50% rate every six months your next cloud mining contract will cost .00000000 sometime next year ?? I´m probably way too optimistic as usual.

You keep comparing apples and oranges. There is no central evidence of real hashrate, it can be only computed backwards looking at speed how quickly have been new blocks found. For example in the last half hour 7 instead of 3 blocks have been found. (blocks 338325-338331 https://blockchain.info/blocks/), so they have been found twice as fast as they 'should' . If I now compute hashrate based on these last 7 blocks my result will be 670 PH/s(...). If I use last 100 blocks the result will be different, if 500 it will be again different. Only important result is based on 2016 blocks according which is the difficulty adjusted. And only thing important is how fast compared to set constant (10 minutes/block) the blocks have been mined on average. You can compute hashrate easily yourself if you think you're being fooled by websites, that formula is public: difficulty*2^32/600/10^15 (the result will be in PH/s) this will give you starting hashrate which was at time of difficulty adjusting, in our case: 40640955016*4294967296/600/10^15=290.9 PH/s Now you can just compare avg time of found x blocks against 10 minutes average and you'll get 'current' hashrate. In my example, last 7 blocks have been found within 30 minutes, which means 4.3 min per block, which is 10/4.3=2.3 faster than it should be so current hashrate is 2.3*290.9=670 PH/s!!! End of the world! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
