Has anyone noted the rise in difficulty between 15/Jul and 15/Aug? It's almost 3x!

https://www.coinwarz.com/difficulty-charts/dash-difficulty-chart

Assuming another doubling by 15/Sep and again by 15/Nov etc? Oct/Nov batch ROI will be pushed back significantly I assume.

Probably better to wait for next gen X11 miner...

So far it's probably JUST the IBeLink DM11G units pushing the hashrate - but by the end of October when most of the currently sold but not yet shipped Bitmain D3 units are shipped installed and running, we're looking at a LOT more than a "doubling".

Then the A5 (and probably more D3 and some DM22G) units start hitting.... I'd BET on network hashrate exceeding 200 TH by the end of the year, and would not be shocked by 300-400 TH.

I'm not sure what that works out to in difficulty as a number, but I'm sure it will be 5-10 TIMES what it is now by the end of October and likely double again by the end of the year.

You will be very Naive in thinking that Bitmain is not mining with D3 right now (probably in the name on testing)and same with all other companies as no one in their Right mind sell a Money printing machine without using it. I hope that explains the sudden increase in difficulty.
I am sure it wont increase as much.

This is right. Bitmain and the other companies are going to get their coins first. It's called a "routine test". Grin

I'm sure you're right, but the entire global Dash hashrate is only equal to ~1300 D3s, and you know that at LEAST half of that is from other devices - so even if they are "testing", they can't have more than 600 devices operational at this point (probably far fewer).
