I am dumb and understand nothing of this technical talk, with hashrates and whatever.

But I have 20 BTC invested in AM and am wondering why is value dropping so hard. I am now at half a BTC profit and will probably go in the negative soon. And this shit came at a time I REALLY needed to cash my profit out. Embarrassed

Someone care to ELI5 ? Undecided

The value is dropping because ASICMINER controls less of the hash share then it did a month (2 months?) ago. It went from having 25-30% network share to having 8-12% share, leading to dividends from mining decreasing quite substantially.

There are the Hardware sales, but Friedcat mentioned they are being held back for the next-gen hardware implementation.

TLDR; Dividends decreased? SELL SELL SELL!

AM has had several peaks well over 90 th/s.

Currently, they are hashing at about 53 th/s over the past 24 hours.

Wow nice. Well glitches happen.

Did AM just hit an all-time high for hash rate?

Anyone know how to contact the site creator? It would be more useful to show some longer terms. i.e. if ASICMiner has 50 TH/s deployed how much effective hashing power does it have (including downtime, lost connectivity, orphans, etc). Something like changing the chart to 6 hours, 24 hours, 7 days would be more useful.

Feel free to use my site -- you can report on whatever timeframe you want:

http://www.dpcapital.net/blockchain/?hours=1,2,4,8,12

Just change the querystring to reflect the timeframe (in hours) that you'd like. You can use as many (or few) samples as you want. The sample timeframe(s) should be separated by commas, as shown in the example above.

Here's some more interesting timeframes to monitor:

Hourly for 24 hours: http://www.dpcapital.net/blockchain/?hours=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24

Weekly 24 hour samples: http://www.dpcapital.net/blockchain/?hours=24,48,72,96,120,144,168

1 hour average: http://www.dpcapital.net/blockchain/?hours=1

The data goes back to something like June 11th.

Go up a directory on that site... http://www.asicminercharts.com/ Has all the information you want, and more. Be sure to tip him too! The tip address is at the bottom of the page.

Update

Why has the hashrate dropped the past weeks?
It dropped in different few days. Some of them are internal hardware/network glitches, some of them are luck based. We haven't identified any form of DDOS attacks recently though.

It sounds really strange to me that at this stage of network growth there isn't a regular report of such attacks against ASICMiner or other entities. I expected many people buying up shares and then ddosing the competition.

If there was it would be pretty easy to prevent. Just don't ever have your mining farm ever talk to the outside world. Send everything through VPS running bitcoind as a relay.

Mining farm bitcoind ----> relay bitcoind ----> rest of world.

If things get real bad keep a dozen cheap VPS running bitcoind as an insurance policy. If a relay node goes down due to DDOS then the mining farm switches to the next one (or two) on it is round robin list. Given the low frequency of blocks (even 10% of the network is only a block every couple hours) it would take forever to find a DDOS all the relay nodes.

Oh i'm not quite sure. Could have been at the bottom right...

yeah, I've seen over 100 TH/s on that one. It's a 12 hour average, so there's a lot of luck involved, and it is nowhere near accurate.

Good luck to anyone just joining in and attempting to read the last 600 pages. Grin

Is there any thread longer on the forum?

Highly unlikely.

Check out some threads in the speculation forum...

Well for useful ones ... there's cgminer ... more than 600 now.

Vycid, I think we all got your points here on this thread, now. That would be nice if you could just post less, it starts to be annoying.

Convey your ideas, write them down nicely, post them, that's all very well. But don't feel obliged to answer to pretty much any post at any time.

That's not worth it for everyone to go through pages and pages of text half from you, whatever is your added value to the discussion.

I am sure many already have put you on ignore list. I am politely asking you to refrain a bit instead, because I am ok to read your input. In absolute valuation, not in number of posts!

This is a reasonable request. Attempting to answer everyone's questions/arguments is clogging the the thread.

I intend to switch to a denser, high-effort post every 1-2 days, to avoid repeating myself. Starting today.

or maybe just STFU

No, he's entitled to expressing his views, same as everyone else.
No one is ever complaining about FC fans who post uninteresting bs or shitty memes, so let's not apply double standards here.
