I can smell the new Gen hardware from here now Tongue

Just kidding but it looks like it !

Or cashing in on last gen gear is also possible. The companies have at cheapest cost likely will ever have on current gen. So if they have electricity for a few cents... they could make some last profits before having. It makes sense for some makers to do this.

I just hope they don't go crazy cashing out BTC to fiat. I really want to see BTC value go back to 460+ were above 450+ still at least. So not all terrible news I guess.

I sold another coin today not that I want to but I am thinking of selling off 2 or 3 more.

Ouch that kinda hurt, think we all have same feeling on that. Value has picked up a little around 455, it seems we keep going between 450-460 a lot during this period.

So really going into next difficulty change with value of around 455. Hopefully it can pickup more.

And network hash power is still climbing after adjustment. This is it, the last push before the halving made of probably the next-gen gear.

Is there anything more "real" or substantial on the S9? I am skeptical of it's existence at this time.

Just pure speculation nothing has leaked or any good info that I know of. People have talked about it more it seems with having coming.... but real info is just not there. So it really is hard to say anything about it with any accuracy.

Coinbase slowly rising - 464.58 so nice to see that makes me feel gool on holding with recent upward swing.

I still have some coins on hand.
I think about 10. Not sure I have to check

Ah the s-9

I would love the s-9 to demo in the solar array.

The S9 rumour, as far as I can see, is entirely based off Miningsweden having an S9 Preorder Hash available in the Shop. Supposedly they did the same with S7, so mayhave some value?

Yesterday another big Day with +18.75% and 171 Blocks. Things have stabilised so far this Morning and the Period to date Run Rate is at +8.8% with around 150 Blocks to go. We might get a little pull back Today, but could still go either way?

Rich

My thoughts are if they really don't have a date on the S9 with their pre-order. So they could be collecting pre-orders a week or months. ahead.. they do not commit to anything that I see. I think if they had true info they would be locked in a NDA and could not release any info let alone sell early. So I don't give it a ton of merit.

Price of BTC is still over 460 is the good news. But the difficulty change is going to hurt that is for sure.

*Edit

Looks like price went down a decent amount were around 450 so back down - http://www.coindesk.com/price/ . So loss of 10 dollars or so in a day is not so great considering we are looking at a jump in difficulty.

Yea this big peak this adjustment is looking to be more of a big plateau than a peak. We may be seeing things turn on permanently until the halving.

the guess they filled up the space made by all those cheap s-7 sold and filled the racks with s-9s

Which would also make sense to explain some of the previous peaks being the newly made s-7's coming off the line and getting plugged in at a mine before coming offline and being sold "as new". I don't thinks all the hash is Bitmain, but I think generally this is what we are seeing happen.

And here I thought things would be quiet before the halving...

For what it's worth, nextdifficulty.com has been suggesting an increase of 9.6% for several days. I thought for sure it was way too high.........

Yes this is looking like a double wammy. First because I think you will be right and as the Run Rate is now over +9% we are likely to be over 10% this Period, but second wammy is because the Hash has come on late in the Period, only about 24Hrs to go, the Difficulty correction will significantly under-call the actual Hash added and I think we will be going into the next Period with around +10% as the starting point?
