There was a huge drop on price for S7 in the last 24 hours or so , do we know the reason for it?
Next diff change will be about 20% which will practically mean the S7 will not survive halving at current BTC/USD price, in other words it will never ROI.
this is assuming the diff will stay the same, which is very unlikely.
halving will bring diff down, or everybody will mine at a loss.
Correct me if I'm wrong but now 1THS of S5 bring around 0.00418979 BTC/TH/day (i'm using pps number). that make a ROI of 95 days (pretty nice) .
But with the next diff increase income per day goes down from 19% so it will be 0.0033 BTC/TH/day . That make a ROI of 631 days (for me equals never ROIed)
Knowing than next diff is calculated on the time it took to find the last 2016 blocks, even if some big player switch off his pool today there is no chance to trick the diff calculations .
So am I correct to assume than :
either S5 is dead in the next 5 days ?
or BTC price has to increase by at least 20% to keep the S5 running .
There is some market behaviour i don't understand right now or somebody is betting on BTC price increase ??
PS : I can't help it thinking something smell fishy and S5 market price is manipulated (why would it be buyers on the market, knowing the numbers above ? )
