Title: MINING? Hardcore Miners Look Here
Post by: btcfreedom on September 16, 2011, 11:51 am
To my mining rig owning, home endangering, electricity reaping, don't give a fuck about no EMF's, eBoss, eGangstas-

if you're mining with your dedicated rigs in pools or not - some interesting statistics as the chain increases in difficulty and our BTC is in the shitter.

but diff hasnt been increasing its been going down, as the value has dropped a hell of a lot got out and we have been seeing drops in overall network power from around 16Th/s to around 11Th/s and itll drop more if the btc rate continues to go down and more people switch off, we have new hardware coming out very soon which could change the game, and the shift to 25btc payouts per block which should have a big effect on value at some point next year. but everyone is just guessing at the end of the day, its all a gamble with a whole lot of variables, i do mine, so sure id like to see it go up, but for the sake of everything else id just like to see it stabilize for a while
