Guys watch out for the A3, bitmain is manipulating the difficulty. After seeing the A3 staying in stock they prolly disconnected their miners to make it profitable again so they can sell their march batch. yesterday it was doing 17$ a day, and after Bitmain put their March batch for sale the difficulty went to -50%. I bet that after selling out all the A3 the difficulty will double again.



What the heck u talking about?   The difficulty algorithm is trying very hard to reduce the difficulty in oder to target a 10 minute block discovery cycle.  ASICs caused the network hash rate to increase and block times to go back to 30 minutes.  I expect A3 to be mining 1200-1600 SC a day within a week. Right now it is mining ~1000 SC a day.

Gotta be level headed.  You see people freakin out all over the place, fire selling their miners etc.   By my calcs, most batch 1 A3 buyers will have ROI'd by the time the 2nd A3 batch comes online in late March.  Then profits reduced from ~$30-50/day to $10-20/day assuming SC price stays around these levels.
