My favorite thing is that a bitfury system from last September continues to churn out bitcoins at ~1.2w/gh profitably. When I bought the device almost Noone expected it to be profitable past 6-9 months of use.

You must not pay that much for electricity if its still profitable. Are you out in Washington?

Always use escrow. OgNasty is pretty sweet.

Help me out with compiling a list of mining datacenters!

we do prediction markets on the bitcoin difficulty: basically you predict (bet) if some difficulty is reached by a time or not.

What might be interesting for everyone are the resulting data: you get probabilities:
https://www.fairlay.com/event/category/bitcoin/difficulty/

Currently people are not 100% convinced of the decrease: the probability for a decrease this year is only 76%
(so if you predict on the decrease you still can make money if it actually happens)

Estimated Next Difficulty:    40,248,405,371 (-0.13%)

I never saw this before:)
The difficulty declined twice last year, one of which was ~this time.

With those two exceptions there was only one other time that the difficulty decreased in the history of bitcoin, although it did stay the same for several months (at "1") in the very early days of mining.

Negative diff hike should stay for long time, assuming bitcoin price don't suddenly sky rocket. So time to buy cloud mining!!

^Had to correct this.
I counted 18 times that the diff decreased on adjustment, just some of that:
8 times in august - november 2011,
4 times in april - may 2012
2 times in december 2012
and once in january 2013

Somebody pointed me to this site a little while back:

http://nextdifficulty.com/

Waiting (and mining) with anticipation!

Do the things you know you must do first, then worry about the stuff you're not sure about.

seems a bit high. 2.5% movement downwards is my best guess

$0.15/kwh    IIRC the breakeven point for me right now is around 1.5w/GH - Ive been trying to sell off some of the older hardware to make sure i have only 1w/GH or better gear
