old news.. a couple weeks ago we already worked out that the $8m income versus (at the time) the $650 btc price worked out as 11%-12% of coins. something a little over 2.7btc per block out of 25btc.
wonder how the drop in price will hit his bottom line?
if he did not add any more miners in the last 2 weeks to keep up with difficulty changes, he would now be making less percent of block rewards. and with prices nearing the $500 area his value of that reward is now also 23% less.
if he managed to stick with 11% mining reward. then just the price drop wold make that $8m value per month would now be around $6m a month.
the time between the interview and today the difficulty went from 4 billion to 5 billion. (25%) so if he has not bought more miners.. then his monthly value due to less then 11% of block rewards now being just above 8% (2btc per block) would mean his new income $4.32m based on todays price
