With the way difficulty has been going its a great time to be a bitcoin miner and make an ROI on any reliable machine

just keep it up for a few more diff adjustments.

lets say 39 in 2 days

then 40 on the 30th.

41 on the 13th

and finally on my birthday jan 27th a nice 42.

the SP units are in colocaion, would be far too loud for my local mining farm (about a 14kW winter capcity, 8kW summer)

Noise is fine with my local farm. I love the under clock of SP. Right now I have it on high with low electricity might aswell for a bit. But that under clock will come in handy in a few months (all depends on difficulty).

I also like my S4's they do have some noise aswell, but have a nice overclock in the cold winter air I'm using.

Interesting there are 3.1 days left to go
At present the calculation is negative we might be in for a second difficulty decrease (honestly was expecting a small marginal increase instead of it dropping a bit more downward)
Estimated Next Difficulty: 39,952,664,727 (-0.14%)

Saying farewell to 40 million.

I have been looking for this to happen. Just don't know if we are good for 1 or 2 or more jumps like this.

If .3 watt gear can be built for good prices and if it goes to market in feb or march . we can all stand pat for a while.

If will be interesting if .3 watt gear comes out in bulk at a good price. there is no question all the gear over 1 watt is leaving the network and getting replaced by .8 or .6 watt gear. This combined with the 350 usd price has really slowed growth.

If good .3 watt gear arrives it may force out all the s-'3s this is possible at the correct btc per usd price. and the network will not grow that much.

I replaced almost all of my s-3s with sp20's just easier to do. I kept my kwatts the same and boosted my gh a little.

some may lower the kwatts a keep the gh the same.

+1. My 1-1.2w/gh asicminer equipment will probably be unplugged the moment diff grows another 5%.

Just put a trio of sp31 units online for just over 14th/8kW - as long as jumps stay <5% for a few more months or price gets up past $600 again

Can't quite do that much my power max in the winter is 6kw. in the summer 3 kwatt without A/C

right now BTC = 342 at https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty and diff is : (-0.46%)

with only 2.5 days to go for adjustment lower then +2% looks like it will happen

At 3 days to go, it's going to be close to 0 again.

If so it will mean that

nov 5 diff was 39,603,666,252

Dec 16 to dec 29 diff would be 40,007,470,271

So for 54-56 days you have a flat diff.

with btc at 350usd it could do this as long as it wants.

I truly would love to see it last at under 42-44 up to my birthday in late JAN 2015.

I knew it would get flater and I have been posting that it would do this Since Sept 2014.

I am very hopeful for a long time like this.

i like this diff, staying more or less the same Grin

do you think this will continue, until more efficient miners come on the market?

Luck variation and a lot of luck variation, hash power is kind of the same with old miners out and new in...
I guess s5 is working very hard atm https://blockchain.info/blocks/AntPool
https://www.antpool.com/poolStats.htm?tp=1 pool history

Overall difficulty has not jumped like I would expect if a new next gen miner was out.

I think once AM or SP5 that are speculated are out we will see a overall jump we haven't yet https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

Bitcoin Difficulty:    40,007,470,271
Estimated Next Difficulty:    39,873,927,899 (-0.33%)
Adjust time:    After 587 Blocks, About 4.1 days
Hashrate(?):    292,698,355 GH/s
Block Generation Time(?):
1 block: 10.1 minutes
3 blocks: 30.1 minutes
6 blocks: 1.0 hours

Would be nice to get a small drop -(0.55%) sounds good. But in reality I still think +(1.0%) is more like it.

Thurs morning here in New Jersey.

We are at 346 usd a coin and diff is (-0.05%) with 5 ½ days to go.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

Would be very nice to see a second - diff. Time will tell.

looks like it will be right around zero. I think a lot of SP-XX units are getting in peoples hands and plugged in the last few days.

Wednesday diff has gone plus

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty (+0.65%) with 6 days to go

Still hoping for under 1% but I think not.

I would agree it was great seeing negative a few days. If this continues then we are looking at 2-3 is my guess.
