Assuming this is accurate on the total network hashing power...

https://btc.com/stats/diff

On 1/10/2017 it was 2.41 Eh/s
On 1/13/2018 it was 15.95 Eh/s (562% gain)
On 1/24/2018 it was 18.63 Eh/s (17% gain in 11 days)

So my question being that I'm concerned how quickly my 40.5 Th/s will even be worth running. As pools grow profits are spread thinner and difficulty rises. Maybe someone who's been doing this longer than me could offer some insight? Truly just looking for some feedback but these numbers kind of startled me.

Edit: I'm not panicking, just looking for solid experience from those who've been doing this a lot longer than I have. I'm still pretty new to this (11/2017).

If you believe in $BTC rising in the next few years, you continue to run the miners. If you can't afford to because you're constantly selling BTC to pay for upkeep/electricity/hosting, then maybe it's time to move on. Just my two cents...you can still make bank off selling the s9's.

I'm with Rifleman, I'm sticking with it. I'm running 4 at the moment and I'm hoping to financially hold onto all the BTC I can. If you get in a bind and you need to dump those S9's holler at your boy! I'd even take that janky one that keeps dropping out. (at least we fixed the reboot issue together!)

I'm not hurting or having to take any out to pay bills since I'd prefer to let it ride in BTC and some other coins I believe in... That being said when my 4th arrives I'll have to commit to my power upgrade from 100 amp box to 200 amp. Was planning on running 3-220V circuits into the spare bedroom where they are now powered by extension cords running throughout the house (on circuits I know are 20 amp and don't get used). That means another $3000-3500 for the work out-of-pocket.

That one that drops occasionally runs better than my other 2 when it is running but the reboot through Awesome Miner is on top of it and gets it back on track in under 5 minutes. Strange that it will go a week with no issue and then need a kick sometimes 2 days in a row. Chips never go to X's and heat not an issue it just stops hashing on 1 to 2 boards and a reboot is like nothing ever happened.

There's just a portion of me that's new and nervous and another that is unwilling to stop or give up. Hard to tell which I should listen to. Even thought about selling the 4th to pay for power upgrade but they're so hard to get and I bought all 4 of them for $1415 each before they raised the price. Hard to give it up especially since it just adds to what I can make if I continue.

Hate to even admit that I tried Forex trading as well because I could program trading strategies into Meta Trader... Should have got out of that way sooner than I did lol
