Well  spondoolies has dropped the sp20 to 659 usd  .  So it will mean a lot more gear.  what interests me is does more and more keep going to paycoin.

Looks like I will keep a foot in each camp.  Since I can mine either  one with the sp20 I think spondoolies will sell a lot of them.

sale link note I get no money if you use it.

Will be interesting once paycoin mining is done what this does.

I sat back and did some math games.  we all remember coins at 1000 usd.

right now they are 337   but I should have earned  0.21 coins in the last 54 hours with my 7th

With these nut job prices  I earned about 1.372.

 I sold 1 btc to coinbase.  I would not normally do this  but I took some money out. The Wife could use some presents for Christmas.


with 17.7 hours to go (-1.15%)

BTC = 327 usd

A neg looks pretty sure

and diff you come between 11 pm today or 2 am tomorrow

I am surprised its not down even more with the large amount of miners (like myself) selling hash which is mining the new alt coin and not BTC.

 The last couple of days and the last few difficulty changes  has helped me think I did good buying my last 2 used S3's  at a good price. (as long as BTC does not tank)

Yeah, the price is going down a bit
Making 7times as much as mining for myself! selling hash power atm

Especially if you purchased your mining gear 4-6 weeks ago at a good price. You're halfway through ROI and now almost guaranteed to get there. Only a horrible BTC crash could spoil it.

145 blocks to go we are at (-1.22%)

there is a chance that diff adjustment happens on  Dec 17th At 1 am east coast time.    that would be close to 15 days time.


today is a good day to be a miner!

the problem with the coin is it is really controlled by a central group.  Gaw-Zen is the controller of it.  They change  the rules often. So that 500,000 cap is not set in stone.

For now I am simply enjoying renting my rigs out to those that choose to mine it.

 The price was as high as .2btc a th  the correct price is about .013 btc a th. that is 15x the norm
The price to rent is going closer to normal it is down to .04   a th that is 3x the norm.   I have earned 1btc in 30 hours I should have earned 0.13 in that time.

  If I were to get  3 days at an average of 5x the norm.  I get all the more closer to having the sp20's paid off.

If the rush lasts for 2 more days diff will be 38 and change a 2% drop.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty   =  (-1.08%) in 1.6 days

Not to derail this thread any further... but you need to do some more research on Paycoin if you think you're going to be able to mine it for very long. Their POW stage is only for 500,000 coins and then it's no longer mineable with ASICs.

Well even if it does stop growing for a while
IT was A DAMN good run the difficulty is so much higher than it was a year ago when USB sticks were all the rage lol.

Well, at 1.8 days to go, the estimate is -0.95%. Mining activity has stopped growing for now.

Paycoin does promise a lot after looking at it.   Wow it has pushed mining up in what your revenue is.   Great time to be a miner.    So many say you cannot ROI as a miner guess more in it for us.

   No one really price knows it is heavily backed by GAW-ZEN>  I look at them as a possible destruction to bitcoin or a bust-out item  and not much in between.  They have a better concept on allowing "Normal" non-tech users spend it.  They are supposed to have a lot of Wall street money.  If they implement the coin as a credit-debit card type hooked up with visa's logo they will be the coin of the future not bit coin…  WhoTF  really knows if they can do all they say they can do.

But I still have a few bucks in their corner with an eye to shift to them big time if they are the real deal.   Another reason I went to sp20's over the s-3+'s. EASY to just switch over to mining them instead of BTC.  a lot of people thought that 2015 will be the year of the DC's  I think it is going to be a war between BTC  and Paycoin.  I hope it is as I can bounce back and forth between them
looking to get 2 nice half loaves of bread so to speak.

@ suchmoon in the last 24 hours nicehash has paid 4 to 10 fold the rate for btc if you rent your rig.

 So 7th would earn about 0.100 btc  in 24 hours  and I earned 0.400 btc  in 24 hours renting the sp20's.

This has happened with other coins on westhash  every other coin went bust  and turned out to be stupid to mine. 

But paycoin promises more then any coin ever.--------------------       promises promises is the key. 

There is no good calculator and their difficulty adjustment is very erratic, so it's hard to get a good estimate, but it's currently about 5-10 times more profitable than BTC mining. You can look at nicehash.com (SHA256) and you'll see how much renters are willing to pay, so that's a good indication too.

How much does mining paycoin compare to BTC on amount mined lets say per T?

(I could not find a good calculator)

Go paycoin!

Well a lot of hash power is going towards paycoin.   this may be some of the decline.  as long as it lasts for a while we should enjoy it.

Pretty amazing we need to throw a party if we get 2 negative numbers in a row.  I thought we would see 1-2 jump up but I will be happy to be wrong.
