Mega-botnet got disconnected, herders trying to pump before the mega-dump
Ride it but beware..
Wouldn't it be positive if a botnet got disconnected? I mean, assuming the botnet just dumps all the XMR and the "normal" miners hodl a bit more it might result in less selling pressure.
They've switched to other monetization methods, XMR price is so low mining is just not worth it.. They'll be back when price goes up again..
according to the profitability calculators on the standard pool website software, the 2 mh would produce 2768.04 XMR/day.
It will be interesting to watch if one of the sell bots on polo disappears.
"price so low mining is just not worth it"... he writes after monero has stayed at 50 cents for over 6 hours, after climbing from 38 cents a couple of weeks ago. I know nothing of botnets, so I'm really curious what else can provide $1300 a day in pure profit... which comes to $39k a MONTH! If you can maintain the market. Even at 30 cents, which is quite a low for Monero, we're talking 814$ USD a day, ~24k month.
(2,000,000 h/s) (250 h/s - 750 ti) = 8000 750 ti cards * 30 watts per card = 240,000 watts = $576 day at 10 cents kwh, $17,280 per month.
so at 576$ per day, 2681 xmr day, xmr has a "true" cost of 21 cents.
i'd be interested in following nethash behavior coupled to antivirus update rollouts.
