If we go to 4000 price the network will shrink more

So since you have come up with your thread we are still drifting sideways.

Coins did a big dip today down to

6200 on coinbase
6359 on bitfinex
6211 on bittrex

If we get a good drop to 4800 all those big players will get very nervous.

I think we stay flat unless we move to 8000 a coin overnight (a day or 2)

Of course if bitmain does a 28th 1400 watt miner for 900 usd I take that back. Grin

48891 x 1.0153 = 49767
49639 x 1.0153 = 50593
50398 x 1.0153 = 51432 we are at 51416 so 1.66% from Aug 24 until Oct 31 .

Next jump should be around the 31st there is no reason for much growth without a price jump over 7500

What I wonder is if we get a market spike or bull run, how much difficulty will increase.

I'm not sure it will be the market spike or a bull run that's going to start bumping the Diff up. Having been going through the hardware that's available or about to ship out, that's where I think the next jump will come from.

Anyone upgrading to get back into better profits will also likely be increasing their overall hashrate.

Obviously if we see any rise in price that nears the ATH or even half way there; some equipment will go back online. Same as last year, but that will also drive hardware purchases through the roof again. This would likely take about 4 weeks to be felt by the network; either in waiting for gear to arrive, or people deciding if it's worth setting up old equipment.

Yeah I really should have seen that coming. Had to cash out some coin to cover bills, which historically only ever happens right after a tank. Invoices due to me are always paid right before a tank.

Seems to be pretty stable market wise lately. Hopefully you did ok?

I imagine that part of the business is pretty nerve racking pending market for us and you.

What I wonder is if we get a market spike or bull run, how much difficulty will increase.

We have to see the two next diff changes, if we have a little increase or decrease btc its following LTC just like you said.

Im expecting the same, the hashrate ATH its 56 EH, so close to 54EH actual, we dont have gears with 6 month ROI even with 0,04c (all over 12 month without including facility costs).

With my costs being 0,045 im good with that, we can keep this for two years and the moon Grin

but lets see whats bitmain have for us in this new gear, lets see the s11 price, this is gonna guide the market.

The key is the next two jumps after this one.
Along with BTC price.

if price stays at 6000 - 6500 I think we continue to drift sideways.

Bch was doing big swings last year but they leveled.

They have 4 ehash

Or 4000 ph

Or 4000000th or

4,000,000/14 = around 285,000 s9 Mining.

Yeah they could truly alter the rate of btc diff since lots of pools auto switch to bch if it earns more.

But. You need a big price jump to really move a lot of hash off btc.

Since btc has 3 million plus s9 and bch has under 300 thousand ..

So if bch jumps 2x in price btc drops maybe 250 thousand s9 and bch picks up that hash.

But it reaches its own level.

I think that doesn't really make sense.

BTC network Diff is adjusted every 2016 blocks ~ approximately 14 days. This is to maintain an average 10 minute block time. Pretty sure BitCH coin is also doing this... can't say I've followed it much in about a year.

With that being in place it helps prevent someone with a large hash, from coin jumping and manipulating Diff in that fashion. Not that it was designed for that purpose. There are smaller alt coins that can be manipulated in that way, but that's because they don't have a large network Hashrate "protecting" it.

You may just be referring to switching between what is most profitable. That is covered in Phil's explanation previously.

His scenario is correct if we are looking at October/November, I think.

That was the drastic Diff changes going on with the BitCH network. We would see everyone jump over there for a few days at a time.

It wasn't drastically noticed across the BTC network immediately but it did usually dent it enough to at least stifle massive DIFF jumps or bring about a drop. I won't lie I'm glad to see that the other network is still there and has stabilized to a point where it remains near a 1:1 for which is more profitable to mine. Only because I don't want to see that hashrate added to ours, increasing BTC difficulty with it.

Good day estimated, analyzing information about the difficulty of the BTC network and the mathematical calculation that provides this, I have found that if the miners or a good part of them change to another network, such as the BCH network, I am sure that the difficulty would decrease and Our current mining power would be more profitable for the next days. What do you think?

this adds more complexity to the general estimate.

it holds true if BCH has slightly better profit numbers.

but if BCH has vastly better then BTC would drop

and if BCH has vastly less BTC diff would jump up.

For my calculations I treat it as parallel ie it earns close to 50-60 a month at 1400 watts
same as btc and ltc
