The current pattern of increase is similar to the one after Mar 22 2015 adjustment ... signaling another decent diff increase ... yep, it is more than obvious that new mining hw is still being deployed despite summer and stagnating BTC/USD price.

well avalon has written software for a 80-120gh miner using 5 chips. it may be very efficient and they may be doing a burn in. wiki page has info.

here is a quote

Looks like Canaan are coming out with their new small miner; Avalon4 Mini - 5xA3222
wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon4_mini
resources: http://downloads.canaan-creative.com/software/avalon4_mini/
( This includes a Chrome App )

comes from here

if you go to wiki link

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon4_mini

and see this line of code I think the mini miner will drop to .4 watts per gh

sudo ./cgminer --avalonm-freq 275:250:200 --avalonm-voltage 6250

the big miner at 420:390:370 volts 7625 does .55 - .57 watts

so with avalon doing something and sfards doing something I believe we get 3-6%

I think your right avalon will have underclocked the "mini" to .4x limit's. The 4.1's do a low .5x easy.

SFards I see as a wild card. We really don't know what they have ready to go. They showed a dev ket that looked very nice. I still wonder what what price will be for final product.
