Not bad first drop in almost 2 years and I ordered 4 sp20's .. life look's good today. Time for a new thread.
Thank you for your answer , so I'll go to a seer =)
I got no crystal ball to see the future.
Don't think it will go down, it might be from all the shoppings for winter holidays, it might be a bigger player and price rising...
Difficulty will have no big impact on the price.
I still ain't got a crystal ball

It looks like we are going to have our first decrease in >?>
(I kind of forgot that part it was before 2013 before the split blockchain)
In any case that was quite some time ago.
So about -0.35% unless 100PH was added right this minute. I'm pretty damn happy about this, considering most of my profitability calculations made 3-6 months ago were assuming 4-7% jumps at this point in time.
I think the next jump may be fairly big though with the influx of the black Friday deals by bitmain and spondoolies. it's likely that each company sold 5-10 PH during that sale

well I grabbed 3x sp20's that will be about 4th underclocked and about 2190 watts
I know that at least 1000 s-3's and s-4's sold I could figure the exact number looking at btc addresses.
I know at least 2000 btc was sent to spondoolies addresses that is 1000 sp20's. I looked at this address
https://blockchain.info/address/15QTGigFgnMpqcg5tQwBszQ94me98ZTVkr and some others .
So to think 10ph will add in the dec 2 - dec 14 diff period is reasonable. but 10ph is now 1/30 of the network so that is 3% jump. My hope is under 5/6% for the next jump.
Nevertheless, it's safe to call this as a negative jump *party*
Around 3 hours till change on btcwisdom: 40,047,488,260 (-0.63%). Will be a interesting few hours.
I think some of the S4's might be on the network already. I think the SP20's will be brand new on network over blackfriday sales. We will see I'm hoping less then 5 percent on next jump.

winding down to the finish. and it is dec 2 not dec 1 and that is always good as it means a low jump or no jump at all. also price is around 383 usd not bad.

spondoolies sp20's have been shipping the bitmaintech coupons had to help sell the s-4's. So 1 or 2% jump looks pretty sure right now.
I purchased 2 sp20's and kind of want to get one more. I know I am not the only one doing this.
I purchased 2 sp20's and kind of want to get one more. I know I am not the only one doing this.
I expanded aswell. With winter weather hard to pass up cheap/free cooling.
It will be the big centers that really give us a jump. I thought they would wait till next gen, but the SP gear appears to have quite the lifespan with it's underclock. Guess time will tell.
even so, its virtually impossible to see 15%+ jumps happen many more times without an increase in BTC value. Its infeasible for people to routinely add that much to thier farms without rapidly hitting thermal or power limits and needing to rely on cloudmining or find a dedicated location. I think we will see
+0.2% this increase
+10% next
+6% after
+ 2% after, followed by a few more small increases unless hardware prices or bitcoin value changes
close to my thoughts..
+1
+6
+5
+2
same reasoning as you.
for me I max at 4-5k watts in the winter
2-3k watts in the summer well 1.5-2.5k watts in the summer
home miners like me must be less then 20% of the network.
but even big (5ph or more) guys would be morons to expand if they are turning profits now.
the only way is they get a cheap 0.1 watt machine.

yeah .55 to .57 watts on underclock will really allow for long use.
With my higher power costs I need to get efficient gear.

To be honest, I've been watching the difficulty estimations change a little too much, and I'm convinced that all the sub 2% swings in the next estimated difficulty are just variance, plain and simple. Crossing my fingers, though, I really want to see the diff drop. For once my payouts might... actually... increase!
I agree, the very small changes in estimated next difficulty is likely variance in the network luck. Actual changes in difficulty of only ~2% would likely be that a net amount of miners would have been taken offline To be honest, I've been watching the difficulty estimations change a little too much, and I'm convinced that all the sub 2% swings in the next estimated difficulty are just variance, plain and simple.

The thing to watch is the end of the previous difficulty period. If it was up the current trend then it tends to weight the estimates too high, if it was down then it tends to weight them too low. The last one was high so my guess is that we'll see the difficulty dip back down again.
Bitcoinwisdom extrapolates from a trend. Thats useful if there is a trend, but it exaggerates random fluctuations, as it will 'expect' a recent spike or drop to continue. Thats why its probably predicting too high difficulty now.
blockexplorer just calculates average hashrate and bases its prediction on that, which is useful if there is no trend, but only random fluctuations. Historically there is of course a very strong upwards trend which made blockexplorer consistently underestimate the next adjustment. But right now, I dont see a distinct trend, and I think it may be more accurate than bitcoinwisdom:
http://blockexplorer.com/q/estimate -> 39456072471 (-2.1%)
Mind you, I do hope Im wrong since I have a small friendly bet on difficulty going up this period, but I would bet Im gonna lose that bet :p.

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
But I agree there is suspicious calm on hashrate charts
+/-5% wouldn't be that surprising. If the current lull in the hash rate expansion continues then we'll almost certainly see a few larger difficulty changes entirely related to variance.

as is any gear at 1.2 or 1.5 watts .
I would even think some people are turning off 1 watt gear.
a s-2 owner or a dragon miner owner may be tired of the noise and small profit it is making him.
a 1tb machine using 1000 watts with .15 cent power will make 22 dollars this month
with 16 cent power it earns 15 dollars not much to bother running the gear.

Small spike in the hash rate 2 days ago but it could not change the trend: looks like we really will see the first decrease after 1.5 year. However, people predicting on our site are still skeptical and some still predict against an decrease in this year: so you still get 1.3 times your money back if you predict on a decrease this year and it actually happens.

low price cuts out some small miners!?
low price cuts out some small miners!?
maybe but if you have 14 cent power and a 1.2 watt per gh you make about 12 bucks a month on 1th . this knocks lots of people out.
if you have 9 cent power and a 2 watt per gh you make about 1 dollar a month.
So all the s-1's are being terminated.
to run a s-1 at 140gh and 170 watts
you need at least 10 of them and 11 cent power to make about 50 bucks a month. a lot of work for 50 bucks
lets say you have 7 cent power those 10 s-1's make 100 bucks a month.
I have to think all s-1's are going off line. all 2 watt and most 1.2 watt gear.
I also think big companies want to upgrade slowly.
Say antminer sells 1000 s-3's and adds s-5's in a bit not today.
1000 s-3's = 500th and they replace 1000 s-1's that is 200th so the gain for the home miner is 200gh to 500gh. or 300gh x 1000 = 300th
but antminer was mining them so on the front end the net work dropped 500th so -500th and + 300th is a loss of 200th.
This is part of what has happened.

maybe knc can really build a .1 watt machine and mine with it in house and sell cloud shares. maybe no one else is close to that.
If I were antminer and in this spot
I would :
A )off load all my c-1 s-3 and s-4 gear with a sale. hmmm coupons anyone.
B) beat knc to the release with my .3 watt s-5

yeah s-2's and dragons at 1 watt or more will be tough for business purpose's we may be seeing a lot of 1-1.2 watt gear being shut down.
a 1.1 watt 1th machine right now with 10 cents a kwatt earns a big fat 50 bucks a month. with power costs .
I am using free setup free internet and free machine
So basically a lot of 1- 1.5 watt gear is going off line.
My s-3's do .77 and they can be lowered to .67 per gh so they can hang in until diff of 80 or so.
If you don't have .8 or better at 10 cents or better things are bleak.
I would like to see 2 or 3 minus 1% adjustments in a row. only time will tell.
The key is does a company or 2 build a .3 or .4 watt machine and keep it to their company for mining only
If we truly get negative I will be extremly happy. I can say none of my ROI excel sheets included a negative difficulty.
It does make sense though with low bitcoin price, those with hosting will be having a hard time with miners such as the old dragons.

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?
and while you and I differ on a lot. we both agree that home miners will no longer ever be able to have a large part of the network in house.
my 16gb gpu farm in 2012 earned 2.2 coins a day. and burned 6k watts.
my 6.7th s-3 setup earns 2.5 coins a month and burns 5k watts. my max power for winter is 7k so I could go to 9th.
that is 3.36 coins a month at todays prices say 1200 usd before power. as shitty as that is compared to 3 and 4 thousand a month before power last winter I can still pull a small profit. and I now actively buy coins. much more then I ever did.
and right now as I type.

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

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.

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.

this + the btc acceptance!

the calm before the storm 
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!

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

my gut tells me both are too low . that bitmaintech's coupon give away will make numbers go over 4%

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%
