When the price went from 300 to 1200, that allowed us miners to turn our 280, 290,380,390, cards back on. However, the consistent rise in the hash rate has now put some of us very close to having to turn them back off. There is still a shortage of new more efficient cards. I believe we will see the hashrate growth level off very very soon if the price stays at the current level.
you're right about that. Myself and a few other mates have turned our 290's back on. been doing pretty well but the difficulty rise means profit is getting slim.
Hopefully it will level out, not that I'll be turning mine off again.
