I may be newb, but Im not an idiot. 12% network hashrate increase was what I meant by 12% increase/week.

If all divs are stopped 262BTC next week (-75BTC hosting and no network increase by then).
177BTC the week after (25% network increase)
177BTC the week after that (network increase will happen that day (11th July))
= Loan paid off by 11th July and then there would be BTC collected for re-investment again. Ill have to trust you on the producers 1/10th price to self, but cryptx has managed good prices / produced their own boards in the past, but it does look like an uphill struggle. Its also looking very worrying for a de-centalised network to be cornered by a handfull of chip producers do you not think?

I understand cryptx is maintaining radio silence and I understand why, but it would be very useful to hear their plans for the next few weeks.

I apologize, I did get it wrong, I entered +12% in my spreadsheet, but it applied it retroactively to last month when I made it.

That said, your numbers dont quite add up either. At todays difficulty, which has been in effect since the end of last dividend, 1150TH will yield ~300 BTC per week, minus 73 hosting is ~227 BTC for this friday. Next difficulty is projected to be 17B which would result in ~238-73=~166 BTC. Okay probably a little more next week, since a few days will be mined with todays difficulty, but the week after that it will be in full effect, and difficulty might have gotten another increase.

Regardless, paying off the loan faster doesnt change the problem. If I gave you personally 100BTC to invest, would you really want to spend it on overpriced mining hardware that is hosted with exuberant fees, and will only pay out a fraction of its mining revenue? If not, then its better to collect full dividends and put them in a cold wallet or invest it in something that actually makes sense (if there is such a thing). Reinvestments only make a bad situation worse. Its repeating the same mistake over and over.
