im working on a vertically integrated financial services for people with liquidity, among other things... This makes a lot of sense. Aside from just liquidity, there needs to be a next wave of innovation that utilizes more advanced uses of the new Bitcoin Core. I have a few ideas, just need a good programmer as I only have one other person working with me atm. But def +1 the response..

While I understand the point you're trying to make, it's moot because OP asked what factors were dropping price and creating volatility. As Im sure you already know, when sell orders are larger than buy orders it creates downward pressure on price... As far as the corps having lack of desire to conduct B2B transactions in Bitcoin, I agree until we see larger willingness from said corps to utilize their btc in a way that supports price, it will continue to be volatile.

I personally think that corporations that are accepting need to turn it over back into fiat (because thats how they ultimately look at their bottom lines), miners needing to cover their costs, various reports of very early adopters converting large sums, & regulatory uncertainty is the reason for the extreme volatility. If you're bullish bitcoin, this shouldn't matter much. Considering bitcoin went parabolic last year, this type of retrace amid the black swans that I just mentioned is natural. From a technical standpoint you'd be a bit concerned maybe in the near term, possibly. Real price expansion will happen once we work thru alot of transitory variables (most mentioned above) and more mainstream aggregate demand occurs along with merchant adoption to support the supply/demand imbalances we are seeing being reflected in price as volatility. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info, didnt even see this post until this morning. Question, is this your unit? If so, the drop in hash rate (While brief) was it due to over heating and the unit needing to be reset? Had this problem alot with my cointerra units.

Thank you for that one, have overlooked them in the past. Very much appreciated!

While I agree with you that mining will never get easier, let me ask you this.. I have a private mining operation which pumps about 45 TH/s .. To expand (if I so choose) to around 100 TH/s what would you consider? I dont plan to do it right now, but would like to have some opinions simply on how to go about it, since everyone is split between either loving spondoolies or saying it is the wrong choice with price being so low and diff being so high. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Only reason I ask is because my cointerra units didn't perform within projected power/hash rates and had an over heating issue so I was just making sure. And I think I may have confused you with my wording, I know some companies let you host your equipment at their own datacenters sometimes for a fee. Thank you for your feed back, its much apprecaited!

yeah completely understand what youre saying, again just getting a general idea, see if the company is reliable and how their equipment performs. I know theres only been two difficulty decreases ever, wonder what the chance of that happening again is.. Doubt it would unless blocks being mined per day went down quite a bit. As far as price, seeing this kind of decrease peak to trough is perfectly healthy, granted these levels need to hold in order to put in a longer term bottom. The way I see it, the turnover from billion dollar industries coupled with increasing mining costs & regulatory uncertainty is a reason for price to go down, especially after a 4000%+ year. There will be catalysts for price expansion in the coming years. I wouldnt waste my money on miners if I didnt feel confident I could at bare minimum cover my costs of operation. With that said, the uncertainty right now makes me not want to actually purchase coins outright. I guess I will just wait and see what happens. I again greatly appreciate your feedback and breaking it down to brass tax for me.

do you have them in a datacenter or remotely hosted? and is the actual hash rate/watts at the wall in line with projections?

glad i asked, thank you for your feedback, much appreciated and good luck!

thanks for your feed back, do they run within the projected hash/power rates? power consumption is very important in the datacenter lol.

Well, currently just getting some feedback so if I did want to expand, I had a vetted review of this firm from community members (or at least an alternative to this firm if the reviews came in bad). Trust me, I see your point and may sound crazy for wanting to expand with price oscillating sub 500 for a while now & been thinking of just dumping whatever I would have spent into buying coin, but I don't know if I really want to do that.. Worked pretty hard to get near 100 TH thus far, so its not like we are starting from scratch or anything and I do believe in doing my part to secure the network. I have a data center that I already house miners at so it wouldn't be much of a hassle (except the added electric cost) to get them somewhere secure and temp controlled.  I will def look into the miners you have recommended and appreciate your feedback!

actually read thru alot of that thread the other day but didnt finish, will def take a more detailed look, thank you!

I've been mining for about 2 years now and after receiving my last 40 TH from KnC and hearing they will not be shipping anymore to retail customers, I am curious where I will find a reliable ASIC firm to continue expansion. I ordered from Cointerra once before and had a HORRIBLE experience, many users on Reddit and Twitter reported the same hardware problems (promised minimum 2 TH but lucky to get 1.6 aside from overheating issues) and lack of support from the team. Obviously I'm quite skeptical about their revamped "team" and products. Been doing a bunch of research on Spondoolies and wanted to know if anyone has ordered from them in the past and if so how was the customer service, hash rate (vis-a-vis projected hash rate) and power consumption over a 24 hour period? Thanks in advance!!
