Until next gen hardware comes out, we probably would only expect nominal difficulty increases right?
I'm expecting nominal difficulty
decreases, actually.
This could be true.
At least for the next 4 or 5 jumps as the summer heat is coming and down-clocking gear will be necessary for many miners.
This could really benefit us miners if we keep getting such low jumps. I would agree summer heat will be a issue for some miners. It's coming fast on the heat.
I guess we will see but I'm hoping for low jumps, negative would be a bonus.
