Hi Guys
My Findings regarding mining addresses:
- Official Asicminer mining address:
https://blockchain.info/address/1HtUGfbDcMzTeHWx2Dbgnhc6kYnj1Hp24i -
https://blockchain.info/address/1H7FpBV8huVmPvt5eRzszAkgnERH2FaWvq: Receives payouts the same way the official mining address does since a few days. Payouts started on July 24. Same as the official mining address, it forwards to
https://blockchain.info/address/1ERszMSERwHNR9Xty73KZXpsg1jjBXWcHh. Also forwards to
https://blockchain.info/address/17EA1UT5amSvasuhzUDPs1pLgxdrbRYLAX, which is known from Asicminer Tube sales. Please follow
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735728.msg8357879#msg8357879I think it's safe to assume these two addresses indeed belong to Asicminer and are used to receive mining payouts. I gathered these payouts and looked at 10 day intervals to get a rough estimate for Asicminer's hashrate and hashrate growth:
2014-07-24 to 2014-08-03: 100 btc / 10*3600btc = 0.002777778; estimated total network hashrate: 134PH/s; ASICminer's share: 134PH*0.003611111=0,483888874PH/s
2014-08-03 to 2014-08-12: 230 btc / 36000 btc = 0.006388889; estimated total network hashrate: 141PH/s; ASICminer's share: 141PH/s*0.006388889=0,900833349PH/s
2014-08-13 to 2014-08-22: 280 btc / 36000 btc = 0.007777778; estimated total network hashrate: 165PH/s; ASICminer's share: 165PH/s*0.007777778=1,28333337PH/s
2014-08-23 to 2014-09-01: 351.88981744 btc / 36000 btc = 0.009774717; estimated total network hashrate: 180PH/s; ASICminer's share: 180PH/s*0.009774717=1,75944906PH/s
2014-09-02 to 2014-09-11: 543.13536631 btc / 36000 btc = 0.015087094; estimated total network hashrate: 200PH/s; ASICminer's share: 200PH/s*0.015087094=3.017418702PH/s
Please note: Total network hashrate and coins mined by the whole network are very rough estimates.
Hashrate growth / Deployment speed doesn't look bad at all. I'm very excited for the next few days.
Payouts in the last 10 days don't necessarily mean the same amount is mined in the last 10 days. In theory, they could be mining since july and only now configure the payout options on btcguild for example. So you should be careful about statements about hashrate growth and deployment speed.
