Loving this week's difficulty. If they could keep difficulty down during my winter months I would appreciate it

I personally expanded over winter. We will see if trend continues if I made right decision. I just could not pass free/cheap cooling with winter.

I grew and expanded last winter shrank this summer and grew back this fall-winter.

Except last winter btc price was double of todays price.... and i bet your mining hashrate does not scale up to the network difficulty either.

See the trend now?

I think about them in terms of "cheaper heating" for the house rather that cheaper cooling.
By my calculations, I would be saving ~30% of my heating bill over the winter. Already, I had the same level of gas usage during October as per summer months (no seasonal increase) because I did not have to switch heating ON even with ~50-55F outside (it stayed at ~74F in the house thanks to just six S3).

here in NJ power costs drops from 16 to 13 cents for winter prices. then with savings on heat it comes to about 9.7 cents from Oct 1 to May 31. So I boost my mining every fall and drop it every June 1

It will be long time that we are going to discuss about this matter
difficulty seems to slow donw.
Guy from SP-tech has predicted this now its true

He is not the only one pushing slow growth. But time will tell.

My guess is bitmaintech is selling off a lot of farm gear at a bargain price. They hope to put in some new s-5. So after mining with s-3's and s-4's that are now on sale. the upgrade to s-5's in their farm will start soon.

This is good in a way lets say they have 10ph in s-3's and s-4's farming . As they pull it off the market hash rate drops a bit.

As we receive the gear the hashrate jumps back a bit. So we may have another good < 3-4% jump.

In the meantime my two s-3's shipped today so that is good.

Maybe and I say Maybe
its a lesson learned and that mining is not always profitable
actually its not bitcoin itself but the speculation on bitcoin price...

The ones that got borred waiting or realised that price many not go up again
are out of the game and you can see this from sellers like the one selling on the
market place section currently 100pcs SP-30 or companies like bitmain and spondoolies
making discounts

yeah, its the end of the road for mining btc, price still dropping more will likely to quit and sell their miners.

the calm before the storm Huh

Guys +/-2% in difficulty change can be caused just by variance (probability of finding blocks). So even if real hashrate didn't change at all, resulting difficulty will ALWAYS be different from previous one.

But I agree there is suspicious calm on hashrate charts

it looks like going negative, at least for the moment! Grin

Estimated Next Difficulty: 40,387,207,439 (+0.22%)

yeah but with bitmaintech issuing sooo many coupons for s-3+ c-1 and s-4's I have to figure they will sell a lot of them.

I ordered 2 s-3's I sold 4 s-3 coupons and they ordered 4 s-3's I told another guy he got 8 coupons and he ordered 4 s-3's. 2 others I know ordered some s-4's

So we are looking a jump in about 6 days to 8 days.

Now if you think that bitmaintech is pulling all those orders from a mine we will dip negative and slowly crawl back up to a low positive.

Also a big coin sale is going to happen from the feds on dec 4-6 50,000 coins this may affect the price of coins which in turn affects growth.

I will get this going in a bit.

I self mod it do to seriouscoin and basically I tolerant anythings except insults so everyone feel free to comment

this was Nov 4 to Nov 18 below

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-diff-thread-diff-in-the-02-to-128-range-covers-nov-4-to-nov-17-846810

Okay last diff was 1.76 %

This one starts out very low :

bitcoincharts = (-0.35%)
bitcoinwisdom= (+1.1%)

my guess is both estimates are low and the coupon dump from bitmaintech will cause a bigger jump maybe as much as 4-6%
