Hello,

I just checked the difficulty and it seems to increase a lot lately.

What is the reason behind this?

At this rate and if the price doesn't increase an s9 will not be much profitable by the summer....

I'm struggling whether I should invest in a dozen of S9 but things are not so motivating now compare to sept/oct when i first look into it.

Thanks for your insights.

Should you buy 1 dozen s-9's  .

Well  you can not project difficulty  beyond  4-6 weeks.

and the diff  can rip 20%  2 in a row  or do a  -1% and then a 2%

It all boils down to  how much risk will you take.  Myself I moved into gpus  much stronger then asics.

I am down to
2 full s-9's 
1 two board s-9 
1 one board s-9

grand total of 3 s-9's

but I have  about 70 gpus  mostly all nvidia 1080tis.  I felt gpus are less risk  then asics.
