Glad to see you all are starting to see what I've been saying. I think it's above the realm of variance I would expect 10% spike for variance. So possible that it's only a 10% of network sized farm cranking on. Could be hw tests. Hell the diff should technically double at least with the new efficiency of machines. Just have to see what's up:). Sure is fun to speculate

diff to catch up to sept 4 price diff eff ratio
needs to be over 110.
this won't happen since all that .5 watt gear won't vanish.
Somewhere 2 months ago I predicted a quick move to 70 then flat . with not a big price jump.
well price jumped. I will changed prediction higher. 85 then flat. going past 85 will not be easy. (price at 350 or so)
once again WTF do I know? Bottom line is it is just a guess!

But the gear would have to have been built first to be used in these ghost towns. To turn 100Ph/s on and off, is like 200,000 Antminer S3's. I don't think that many Antminers in total even exist on the planet.

realistically they don't have 100ph just too much, but 5-20ph they could.384638 (Main Chain) 2015-11-21 15:20:06 AntPool 0000000000000000033e5efed37742ec7925ff825853ce21fbd53592c1489620

20ph in s-1's were built 50ph in s-3's were built 75ph in s-5's were made.
I don't really think they can turn off and on 100ph. but 5-20ph in 10 spots in ghost towns they could
and the gear would be toss away gear s-1's s-3's how many in a white van? 100 s-3's in 1 van = easy.
fit them in a building like the photo and boom 50th at the flick of a switch. the antminer psu can do 4 s-3's at an under clock to 350 watts. so only 25 psu's a few gigabyte switches and a router.
keep it under 200 per location and 1 guy or 2 guys can set it up.

Maybe some miners got shipped and are being plugged in currently. It would not surprise me at all. I still hope we see less than 10 though.

I don't know.
I really doubt that people sit and wait by the computer and whenever BTC goes over a certain level they immediately power on-power off their gear.
I also don't believe mega farms shut down gear at the end of the difficulty cycle to get a smaller difficulty, they would lose more money that way.
I know that power is cheaper on certain hours of the day so that could be a theory but that would mean then during certain hours the hashrate increases not a certain day off the week.
I really think that a new ASIC chip is out there in operation and its very buggy so they ran it for a while and then it either burnt out or causes too many hardware errors and they are tweaking setting to get it to work properly.

I like my China ghost city idea best. If an s-5 is 50% power and 50% profit. and i am bitmaintech having a ghost city s-5 10ph farm and a 5ph s-3 ghost city mine.
seems like it is not far fetched. power turns on when ever it can. since the gear was paid off why not move it to a ghost city and run it when power is available.
Just saw a article about this on digg: http://priceonomics.com/surveying-the-ghost-cities-of-china/
There are a lot more ghost cities then I would have guessed. I guess it makes sense they would have a good amount of unused power in each of them. So would be interesting if anything is happening in them with mining.
yeah it is a great way to use old gear.
I remember a guy in china grabbed up a ton of s-3's dirt cheap last spring and was running a 2 or 3 ph farm with them. He said he could use the s-3's because he had 2 cent power.
It seems to me that this old gear paid off sitting in a ghost city could be fired up pretty easy.
http://natocouncil.ca/ghost-cities-in-china/
just think how many s-3's could be turned on and off in this set of buildings.
It could be done with government approval as a way of testing and maintaining the power grids in those cities.
Hey @ bitmaintech I know you read the thread.... If you are not doing this you should be. Feel free to send me some coins for the

Ok... I need .06 of everyone to turn of miners so I can be right. Which I never am
but it's still fun to speculate.We do have some miners that have went out. So it will be interesting if it goes up some more once plugged in, or if they are already plugged in. But I do agree not seeing 1X change is nice just not to see.
