That would be the new S6 server farm Bitmain brought online for a couple of hours as a test...they only had to run 100 units to cause that spike we see!
if they only needed 100 units to cause a 20 ph spike then btc is doomed.
There is no way to tell what it is. It could just as easily be another batch of S4+'s. Or another company messing with us sending their hash to pool.
We just don't know. I don't see difficulty jump in overall to show a new generation farm coming online. But I could be wrong.
Sorry guys, I was just kidding around...I was in a good mood because of the good pool luck the AntPool had today.
Is luck normally this good? I tried it and WOW. It is paying amazing.
Their luck is better than any other pool that I have been on. Must have a lucky horseshoe on the wall at the mine.
pretend antpool upgrade their farm by 20ph.
will it affected luck? better or worst?
will it affected our payout? more or less?
it will lower your pay.. in 2 ways.. first it will lower your payout because you will be getting fewer shares on the pool.. and the other way it will lower your pay because difficulty will go up.
20 ph is alot to dump on the network.
bitmain needs to stop making chips for speed and start getting ones that take less power to run..
