20PH/s disappeared on Antpool today.

Next batch of miners being removed from burn-in test and getting shipped?

I say no,but not impossible.

I know a lot of btc addies used by bitmaintech their btc sales are not that high. way less 10,000 s-5's more like 4000.

now they could provide a hidden address to a big farm and they could also sell tons via bank transfer.

So if they did 6000 that way and 4000 via btc it is only 10000 units which = 11.5ph.

But I do think they may have working s-6 units they fired them up and back down. which could be 4th a unit x 2000 = 8ph.

Wow this is getting crazy. Big pool unplug miners to drop the % and then plug them back to get more BTC after.

Maybe they unplugged 20PH and they are waiting for the next difficulty to turn them back on.

In the GPU days we used to do this so the difficulty didn't spike up too much.

Market Conditions are such that it makes $ sense that power on- off moves are being made.

Sorry guys, I was just moving my miners to another pool... Roll Eyes

That is a huge change. I wonder who that was.

Bitmain unplugged 20,000 S5s in their Test Farm in Antarctica and shipped them to customers

Makes us all wonder a lot. Never seen a drop like that before. That is one heck of a bad day for the pool.

I always hope for negative difficulty adjustment, but at this point I'm just rooting for <5%.

you know I would have thought <5% to be impossible about 4 days ago. Now I am not so sure maybe it could happen.

antpool's luck flattened out a lot.

I'm surprised with the big difference of difficulty going down. Do you really thinnk antpool's luck is the biggest thing causing it?

It looks like that huge spike in difficulty about a week ago was just luck?

still up 7% that is way more then gear sold.

I think the 11-13 spike was gear sold + upgrade of a big farm + good luck.

So the 6-7 now is gear sold + upgrade of a big farm + 0 luck or - luck

We just love speculation Cheesy
