so the swing we see could be 198ph running at 0.06 watts slow speed and 363 running at .11 watts top speed.
that is very close to the 165 gh swing we see.
if you are the only company in the world that can do this why not run like they do. Especially if you want bitcoin to continue.
I am missing logic behind this. What's the difference between turning all gear on and let the diff rise within one two periods and doing it slowlier? Only difference is that you'll mine LESS bitcoins when switching the gear on and off. I think that someone just added about 100 PH recently and the jumps between 700-1000 PH is variance within 'real' 850 PH which we are finally approaching with difficulty change.
