Thank you for participating.

Heads up - I'm traveling this weekend so please give me until sometime Monday to pay out the reward. The winner please feel free to send your BTC address once the diff adjustment happens, and I'll transfer the reward as soon as I get back.

Regarding rules for the next period: it was suggested to not allow to change the guess. I'll defer the decision to Philip, since he's the one maintaining the list most of the time. So Philip if you want to put that restriction in place please let everyone know in the new thread.

Seems we're heading for a nice drop now. Anyone owning last-gen hardware like the S5 should be in good shape for a few more months.


I will do the no change rule for next adjustment.  Less work and less confusion.

I suggest that everyone wait 2 days to do a pick so they can see the - or + trend.



Last gen  = lastest gen  say s-5 sp20 or avalon 4.1  I think

33 blocks and -3.45%

Be a bank
I just took that to mean latest gen.

Bitcoinwisdom -3.49% with 9.4 hours to go - maybe no one gets it this time round

I am curious about reference to "last gen" as including the S5. So if "last gen" is the S5, what is "current gen" hardware? I am not trying to pick a fight, just trying to understand.

I consider the S5, and SP20, and Aavalon 4.1 to be "current gen". I would put the S3 in the "last gen" category. That's just me though.

Thanks again for the prize you supply, suchmoon.

4-17-2015  127   -79
4-18-2015  142   -81 we are about 81 blocks off pace

With  86 to go.  So to turn positive we need to make the 86 blocks in about 1 hour.

If we make them in 15 hours we will be just past -4%




If we could get -4 that would get rid of a lot of the previous difficulty change of 5.84.  I am still amazed each time we get a negative. 

Deferentially a lot different then last April.  We were getting a lot of double digits last year.  Big change, but I guess price also big change from last year.

And gear stopped improving power wise

the s-3  was the piece of gear that altered the diff jumps.  then the very small improvement with the s-5 set the change more.

Mining has so become a power cost game.  Basically most all of Europe is forced out.  Once my summer rates start i will mine at a 2th 1000 watt rate.

And lose money or if lucky break even.

Phillip,

it's seems like you feel duty bound to always take the -1.11% change guess, based on some previous exchange with another member. I would be happy to have that assigned to me, so you are free to choose what you might actually want. Feel free to do that if you want, and I won't complain or request a change later.

Thanks for organizing these, and also suchmoon for his generous .1BTC payout.



Thanks for that offer. I will mull it over.

what happened to the 12ph that where on tron?
what happened to antpool, is it back to full speed?

so y the -4%? Roll Eyes

inefficient farms for btc but ok for pumped shit coins?.....

Also most mining is Northern Hemisphere and the heat is coming.

For me summer rates jump from 13 to 16.9 cents. Add in heat factor my winter rates are 10 cents and my summer rates are 18 cents.

For others worse then above.  Now I sold off 12 sp20s and 2 s-5's  .  I kept the 2 avalon 4.1's .  I clocked them down to 1600 gh vs 2200gh as I don't need the heat they make.

I suspect a lot of miners are starting to down clock.  So a home miner may have a 20% drop off.  Since we are not the big amount of network hash rate our 20% drop turns into 3 or 4 or 5 %

Yep. I had to down clock my S5s to the default 350.

so you may have dropped from 1300gh to 1150 gh say 10 or 11%   x tenthousand others just like you and that is 15ph .  Yes the southern hemisphere adds some as it is cooling say 3 -5ph a net drop of 10 or 12 ph

and you are right at our current -4%.  we are now at -3.70%

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

we have 127 blocks to go


I went back up to 400 with mine for today as it has cooled off sufficiently to keep miners running under 50C. How hot do you allow the rigs to get before dialing them back?

The s-5s are really sturdy  what are your error numbers? As in under 1.0 percent  is okay. under 0.100 percent is good.  under 0.02 is really good.

 So if you are really close to 1% errors  back off the freq.

 as for temps I  suggest
 under 60c as very safe.
 60c to 65c as so so .
 65c to 70c as pushing 
 over 70c for 24/7/365 as foolhardy

The auto shut off is 80c but there are reports of it failing to work. So I would not run in the 70+ range.

3 rigs

#1 0.0724%
#2 0.0001%
#3 0.0008%

Min temp: 39°C
Max temp 42°C

I'm good for now.
