^^ That's sort of why I asked, it feels like that's already happened.
No, what's happening now is simply that the big multi-pools aren't mining much SBC. Since the price went so low, the profitability has dropped to where it simply wasn't worth mining for them. Over the last couple of days however, I have noticed that they are beginning to take notice again . . . profitability (vs. BTC) has begun to rise once more.
Yeah, the last few days have been fantastic. I've doubled my total SBC holdings in this one week.
