Well Christ I do not believe Diff will continue to rise @ 20%, as of this increase network has fallen on it's face and is running under 6 blocks per hour and has been for almost a day. That 25% increase KILLED the last of the FPGA/GPU miners. Anyone running a BFL single is going to be shutting them down SOON. My 2 60's earn approx $2.04 USD per day, but cost me $1.15 USD so they are on eBay as we chat.

why do people keep saying that...for the last 2 years, stop living in your fantasy world. Difficulty WILL continue to gap at 20% until the it reaches hardware manufacturing cost, which is still well below what they are selling. The summer rush has just started, wait until those spoondoolis 5Th start to get pumped out. Be happy with just a 20% increase.

I see this happening for at least the next 12-18 months before difficulty growth start to level off. And yes i know how many multiples that will be in term of current difficulty.

Not saying dont buy miners, just make sure you use real calculations, otherwise the only one you screwing over is yourself.

well you could be correct that it runs 10+ 20's in a row.

But you need to understand the s-3 is a big jump over the s-1 .78 watts vs 2 watts that is a big improvement.

It is small like the s-1 it reboots after power failure's like the s-1 no rasp pi /sd cards to f with like the s-1.

Really is set it and forget gear.

  once we are at the .75 watt mark jumping from 2 watt mark. s-3 from s-1 same psu

   the sp30 jump is about .5 watts jumping from the .85 mark ? Sp30 from sp10 bigger psu

So the sp30's while better are not much better.

Bitmaintech's s-3 is the last big jump for the every day regular man/woman miner.



Now the real deal is how big will mega miners go to.

Most in house miners will not buy an sp30 not at 5 k.

  I can get 10 s-3s for 7.5btc or 4672.50 mining in 10 days using 3660 watts

that crushes the sp30 ..

Since I mine from july10 to sept 1 and what does the sp30 do for those 50 days zip.

In defense of Sp-30-I ordered one, but i always thought to use hosting for it.
I am sure Sp-30 will be profitable long term. for home-S1, S2 and S3-I will have a little family right here

With these prices , Bitmain will achieve true "Vires in Numeris"
