so we were 101.6 diff on nov 4 and price was a low as 66.9k

we are at close to 102.5 diff on nov 12 and price was at 89.8k

a 1% diff jump vs a 33% price jump

even with these numbers home miners are shut out.

the real question is do we go to proper jump and let a 20 cent miner turn profit. of a 21 miner like the s21

this means a price over 160k more like 210k if we go to 210k we have

a s21 earning 25 a day and burning 8 dollars at 10 cents or 16 dollars at 20 cents.

If the amount of mining online is the true value we need to see a much bigger price than a mere 89k

10 cent power

S19xp burns 75kwatts cost $7.50 a day. It earns 141x.05= $7.05 so at 10 cent power every type of s19 is bad

The t21 burns same 7.50 but earns 190x.05=9.50 that is plus $2

So every 21 model makes a profit

Before this peak in Bitcoin appreciation, was it profitable to keep models 21 in operation?

yeah 8 cent worked for the t21

the diff kept up solid and while 87k looks good.

5.2 or 5.3 cents a th is where we are at.

we were as low as 4.6 or 4.7 cents a th so the gain is good not great.

Well, it ends up being something to be expected, given the great appreciation of Bitcoin in recent weeks.
It starts to be profitable to turn on some machines again to mine.

@philipma1957 At this point, which machines are now viable to connect?

With BTC price on it's current trajectory, I don't think we should expect any decline in difficulty for the remainder of the year.

How is the profitability of miners, with the difficulty rising, and the fees so low?

Is this moment proof that mining can be profitable, without having absurd fees?

For cheap power mining works.

A t21 turns a profit at 8 cents even 10 cents

Since I see BTC price breaking through the $70K barrier, I don't see much reason for big miners to let up on the hash rate "pressure" any time soon.

looks like we are back to the 2-4% incremental pace again, price is holding up and the summer is over, i would guess many underclocked gears are now operating at stock settings and possibly even overclocked in the next month or two.

there looks to be a shot at 100th difficulty in the month of November.

1298 down 718 to go plus 20 blocks or about +1.6%

So our 88.4t may get to 90t plus or say

89.7-91.7 range earnings are around 4.38 cents

It is early and we are down. Some may be from the hurricane. 4 million are out of power and we have a few mines in the Carolina states and I think Alabama has a host.
But these are all small and may represent 1% tops.

For a while, it looked like it could be more but right now it's as flat as it could be

I don't really recall when it was the last time we were off by less than a block after the one-thousand mark, but I'm sure it will go up again, that last adjustment of -4.6 % really came out of nowhere, and fractal mining rewards are getting slimmer and slimmer, it was over $30 a week ago and now sitting at $8 after crashing to $6. I would be more concerned about the bearish sentiment and a possible energy crisis than what those guys could pull off the network.

looks like a strong adjust for miners.

-3% to -5%

and price shifted up.

we were as low as 3.8 cents a th

by tomorrow we may be close to 5 cents a th

that is 31% up in profits

it will help a 10 cent miner with really good gear.

a t21 set to 160 th will earn 8 bucks and burn 6 bucks at 10 cents a kwatt

that would mean a small profit of 2 bucks a day vs 8 cent daily profit at 3.8 cents a th

so the cut off is a 16 watt per th miner (t21 set to 160 th does 16 watts a th)

at 10 cents

vs a 13 watt miner which is the s21xp at 10 cents that would do 10.26 earn and 9.60 burn profit of 60 cents with that 3.8 cent per th.

Merged mining doesn't do that good I'm afraid. I wasnt seeing a good ratio on F2pool, I dont recall the exact value but it was nothing like 2:1 it was a busted flush to be honest.

it is indeed 2:1 ratio, this is how fractal Bitcoin works, the procotol accepts 2 blocks on fractal own chain and then 1 block on BTC blockchain (merged), then back to 2 blocks on fractal.

so if people mine 99 blocks, 33 of them will be merged mined, this is what I understand from reading their documentations, correct me if I am missing something.

I'll have to go and take a look at the stats page when I get a minute, but I seem to recall it was 77:1 or something like that, but it wasnt clear what that actually meant.
