@ alh yes gear shifts like you said an s-3 is worthless to many but not to all especially if they need space heaters.
Many USA buildings are over ac'd during the summer and people use a space heater to keep the office space comfortable.
I am sure s3's do this all over the world. This type of miner need to be quiet so an s-5 may not help but an avalon 4 would be okay.
I lived in NYC on and off for 30 + years. I can think of 30 or forty spots for s-5's and s-7's to mine where the noise does not matter and power is 'free'.
I am sure many 'off the grid' mines are all over the world.

Maybe Avalon 7
maybe s9 replaced s7.
A 47 ph s7 conversion to s9 would mean 120ph or about 75ph gain.
That would be 5%
I think it might be more accurate to think of it like:
Current S7's get replaced, and then sold to a current S5/SP20 owner (NOT scrapped).
The new S7 owner then sells their S5/SP20 to a current S3 owner. The S5 does NOT get scrapped.
The previous S3 owner might scrap their machine, though they might also sell it to a current S1 owner. The S1 does get scrapped.
This isn't meant to be a precise sequence, but a different way to look at. It might be more accurate to think of the S9 as replacing S3's or even S1's. In that case, the disparity of the S9 to what is actually getting scrapped (e.g. an S3) is huge. This overall sequence obviously includes other vendors gear (e.g. Spondoolies, InoSilicon, Avalon, etc).
Obviously hash rate is being "destroyed" more slowly that it's being "created". So in aggregate it looks like a "new " farm, but isn't actually a new physical installation.

This is strangely big, I think it will not last too long.
There are still more than 8 days until the next adjustment. It will fall back to normal before that.

Phil, I really appreciate you running this contest for so long. It's been one of favorite ongoing threads on the forum.
That said, I understand that you need a break.
I think we'll all need a break after the next difficulty hits. It looks like it's going to be a monster increase...
Anyway, hats off to you and suchmoon (who originally funded the difficulty speculation game) for such a wonderful time!

Thanks for all the fun running this thread Phil. It's been really fun unfortunately this spike isn't fun. I'm really surprised it's spiking up so high. Goes to show how volatile this is and how little I know.
Well so much is in the hands of bitmaintech I feel they could 3x the hash/diff any time they want to.
BTW bitmainwarranty.com of Colorado is now selling the s9 with
3 day warranty
90 day warranty
180 day warranty
1 year warranty
options. Which will sell the gear a lot faster.
They also will take paypal which means you could get a 6 month free interest from paypal credit and a six month warranty from bitmainwarranty.

spike is going lower but we are still very high jump

Ouch! The spike keeps growing. We are on a minor downward trend at the moment, but the overall trend is up.
I just hope it's Avalon, not bitmain ...
This. I am curious to see what they have brewing. 12.09.2016 06:39 429408

well it can be as low as 6.1% rather then as high as 14.1%
it is a solid spike about 255-260 diff pace at the moment but it does not have to stay there
pal, this is murder for small miners !!
i see 2.0 EXAHASHES per second.

Yeah what a fudging huge spike, I was happy with the slow increase since a few Diff.
