Having read various pieces of documentation, it's still not completely clear to me what dictates the difficulty rise, and how Ethereum difficulty levels differ to Bitcoin. In the past week difficulty has jumped from around 11 to over 17, whilst GH/s has fluctuated between 800.00 - 1400.00 but with no clear correlation between the two. Has the 'difficulty bomb' now been introduced? And if yes, is there any way for approximating or calculating how much difficulty will likely rise by in the next 6-12 months? Related: If Serenity / PoS is unlikely to be introduced until early next year, has there been any suggestion from the dev team that the effects of this 'difficulty bomb' will be reduced in either the homestead or metropolis releases? From: Mining difficulty is calculated from the time difference between blocks.

3/1/2018 0 Comments Buy Siacoin SC Miner HardwareSiaCoin has been getting more attention lately and the price of the crypto tokens has been rising, though releasing a mining ASIC for a token that is intended to be used for renting and leasing file storage is an interesting decision. Having a dedicated NAS device tied to SiaCoin like the MineBox makes much more sense for a service like that. SC can currently be mined using GPUs and not only being earned by providing free space to users that need to host some data and getting paid in SiaCoin tokens in return. We are going to see what SiaCoin will actually announce and what their upcoming Obelisk SC1 will offer, but the initial user feedback is not that positive as one would expect. Switching to ASIC mining can actually result in negative results with GPU miners moving away switching to other altcoins and not getting into ASIC mining SC. As far as we are aware there are no other altcoins based on the same algorithm and mining like SiaCoin so essentially an ASIC miner will be very limited in terms of usability and may actually reach its end of life cycle much faster than other ASIC miners that can be used for multiple crypto coins that use the same algorithm. 3/1/2018 0 Comments Define Komodo KMD MiningFirst and best Komodo (KMD) mining pool on the Web!
