Seriously I am interpreting  all this and what I get is Bitfury KNC SP-Tech have not deployed much new gear or they are doing what I say every asic builder does.
That is take old gear that sucks power offline  say a 1000 watt 2th machine gets replaced by a 600 watt 2.1th machine  so that builder has a tiny bit more hash and way less power  used. Thus profits rise.

The only thing I wonder is what is happening with this old gear?  Seems like it would be good enough they would not want to trash it.   I guess they might do upgrade kits as it's their own data center.

It does make sense though that they would want the 1/2 power costs.  It's all about being low cost at this point.

well so far the diff is still neg in real time.

today we did this

https://blockchain.info/blocks

378134 (Main Chain)   2015-10-09 13:14:34

378063 (Main Chain)   2015-10-09 00:06:47

this is 71 blocks in the time we should have done 79

that is neg 8  we were neg 5  so we are neg 13

we have made 1141 blocks we should be at 1154 blocks


so we  are -1.12%   with 875 blocks left.

If we use this current number right now I win but no surprise for me.

   I guess it is a good thing if this is continued this way. 

I still say we end up between -1 and + 1 this time.
I could use this as it makes my s-7's pretty nice gear.

-0.64%  is real time number!  amazing

Hell yeah!
3 months of only positive diff, time for a negative? Grin

Could it be bitmain shipping off some S7 batch 1's before weekend?  If they did this it would save them from compensation.

Still amazed some people are waiting on batch one.  I'm hoping batch 2-3 does not shoot up a lot when they go to.  Good thing is amount focused on antrouter as it is so little of hash.

We know some are getting  shipped: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12640702

Would be very nice but i very much doubt so. There's still sadly still 1 week left and now more S7 will start getting online. The BTC price is decent. Winter is coming. I don't see much factors that would make the hashrate drop.

It already seem to be spiking upward with the last graph update. Its going to start being rough profiting with our older hardware.

with 1083 made  and 1090  normal pace we are neg!


-0.64%  is real time number!  amazing


with 933 block left there is time for this to move higher then the current   -0.6   but to reach + 2.36% by Weds morning may not be possible.
   I actually can see a negative   -1 to + 1

that is 98 blocks in 17 hours  we should be at 102  so we are at a 139 block pace.  This would get us under  0 for the first 1100 blocks.

Yeah we will pick up, but if shipping really picks up on the 9th the gear will not be in place until tue the 13th  so we could see -1 to +2 this jump.

The other cat is getting excited! But I told her that a lot could happen in a week...

I'm hoping it stays close to this.  I would be very happy with low 2's.  Or even mid 2's.

But I'm not sure what will happen at end of chinese holiday.  Could see a jump from new machine in S7's.

Currently new spam attack is ongoing. Largest so far. Wonder how this will effect price and diff...

The price dropped 4$ in few minutes, that is annoying. Why would it matters? Only confirmation time is affected, i don't see why this would change anything for holders and miners.


I suggest reading about it - http://cointelegraph.com/news/115374/the-ongoing-bitcoin-malleability-attack

It is a bad thing all the way around.   Look at the amount of bad transactions during the attack.  It is very surprising level they are able to go to.

It really is a nuisance cheap way to duplicate txts then send them twice
The transaction confirms either way and doesn't cause a double spend since the blockchain reads the first input, but that second one stays in the mempool for a while.

 I bolded  your  bet on 0  comment   ,  at the end of oct 7th  we near 0  !  of course that is about the ½ mark


We made 949 blocks  and we should be at 947 blocks thus real time diff is now (0.21%)  

So picking 0 right now is not that dumb.  in fact we have more then a few low numbers worth picking.

Smile while thinking.
I'm picking +7.01% to + 7.25%

On the 10th of October Hashnest will start customers' S7 machines. 333 sold so far, that means 1.6 PHs. Also shipped S7's will be active too. (I would choose between 4 to 5% but all seats are taken Smiley )

Those S7's are probably already mining for Bitmain right now.  So it's going to be a change of ownership of 1.6 PH/s, not 1.6 PH/s more on the network.

Well if I were Bitmain, I wouldn't make those S7's sleep in the backstore until they're sold.   Smiley

I'm picking +7.01% to + 7.25%

On the 10th of October Hashnest will start customers' S7 machines. 333 sold so far, that means 1.6 PHs. Also shipped S7's will be active too. (I would choose between 4 to 5% but all seats are taken Smiley )
