That's quite a nice drop !

I am a bit tired between setting up the s-9's on the solar array and my kitchen being fully gutted and replaced.  But I think that drop is real and not a math error

see chart.  you know  if bitmaintech  has not replace all of its hashnest s7s the drop could be real.  yeah we know it can spike up 400ph  but every day low like this is money in the bank.

Phil,

Sorry to be a pest but I was looking at your  s-9 solar setup and I realized I finally have enough post to pick here. Grin

I suppose  you want a custom  real time   diff post.

3 days    = 432

14 hours =  84

so 516 would be 0%

475/516-1 =  ( -7.9457%)  

  we are really dropping!  

 Would someone check me on this.  

oh price is back to 670 on coinbase.

This guess is from our male indoor cat. He unfortunately got out while we were on vacation, but my oldest son got him back. What a relief.

Not sure about his guess though. I selfishly hope he's right though because I'm mining again. Got a B3 S9 last week.

For me, BTC is going to have to fall much further before I'll convert actual dollars into BTC. Two months ago, if somebody had offered to sell me a BTC for $560 I would have laughed. I am hard pressed to see what is fundamentally different in terms of conditions that affect BTC price. Although I do have to admit that I have no idea what influences the price of BTC. I expect it's more likely geopolitical events that I have little insight into. All this mining and hardware stuff is interesting, but a cogent understanding of how BTC price actually is determined, and a way to accurately predict it, would be worth way more than a BitFury mining container.
I think the primary driving force behind bitcoin price is speculation - speculation that, at some point in the future, BTC will be worth significantly more than they were yesterday.  I'm sure there is a myriad of factors that come into play, but I'd put my money on speculation having the largest slice of that pie chart.
Well Brexit passed, so we should see the effects coming soon. People jumping ship to find other investments as the pound starts losing power. Already changed 4 cents to the usd while I was watching today.

Within the last 24 hour's we had hit area in mid 560's so a huge drop.  I'm not sure all due to Brexit but I sure won't mind if it helps price of BTC.  Today we did a HUGE rebound to around 678 or so right now.  So literally 110ish dollars jump in a day. -  http://www.coindesk.com/price/

So pretty happy with surge of BTC value.  Hopefully it continues and we can get past 700 again as that would be nice to see.  But hard to tell speculation right now is just down right hard to do on value.

yeah I purchased 1 coin at 575 so I am up 100 bucks.  This makes up for fees charged for my 2 batch 2 s-9's

this chart looks very good below.

This is the last before halving if Im correct. This could mean last difficulty increase in a while as I expect many people shutting off mining when block rewards going from 25 BTC to 12.5 BTC.
I think we're going to see a huge increase before we start to see any decrease.  New gen machines are just hitting the market, they are still very cost effective after the halving.  I don't think we're going to see diff drop off a cliff like we speculated may happen.  I'm gonna hold off on guessing a bit, see where we're headed.  Looks like the peak is climbing back up again.

Hey all! hard life with 2jobs...
1k?! goes under 600, maybe even 500atm!

this is wonderful news  a continued drop in price will knock out tons of gear come the ½ ing.

  I am hoping for 475.00

I just purchased some  at 560 usd

For me, BTC is going to have to fall much further before I'll convert actual dollars into BTC. Two months ago, if somebody had offered to sell me a BTC for $560 I would have laughed.

Just my $.01 (not even two cents) on the topic. Sad

I sold some the other day at 770 so buying at 560 seems pretty good to me.

306 blocks made in   2 days and 5 hours as it is now 10:19

2 days = 288 blocks
5 hours = 30 blocks

that is 318 for 0%

so 312/318-1 = -1.8867%  in real time
