lindin99 with a pick of 1.5 which covers 1.5000000000 to 1.599999999 % prize money sent to your address: 0.04365 https://blockchain.info/address/13eYRoqNebCCVQMxHW4VDXzyHsUZ8DnDmZ so new thread below: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1600815.msg16080661#msg16080661 Well the bad news last jump was 7.67% and we are at an all time high of 217.3 diff. also coins dropped from around 600 to 560 last time period all in all bad. Now the good news I had ended prize money due to my prize funds being sucked up be the bitfinex hack. Well between bitfinex refund and donations to the fund from generous people I will be able to start back prize money. $25 a jump until first jump after Oct 1. If all goes well I will slowly increase prize amounts jump after jump. Difficulty History Date........... Difficulty........... ..Change..... Hash Rate Aug 15 2016 217,375,482,757 7.67% 1,556,034,316 GH/s So a >>>>> New game. PICKS BEGIN AT 1116 First rule is I decide all rules since it is a free chance to get some coin. Second rule is you need to be a forum member since April 15th of 2016 Third rule is you need to have made 30 posts. I will read them and decide if you appear to be real. Fourth rule is if I think you are double dipping your picks won't be allowed Fifth rule is we open picks at 1116 and end picks at 716 just about 2.5 days to pick. Sixth rule is this is for fun so I tend to allow off topic and don't delete very much. Seventh rule is your pick should look like -1.2 = philipma1957 or +1.2 = philipma1957 Eight rule is if you pick a used pick I will assign a pick to you and you are stuck with the one I assign. Ninth rule no pick changes Tenth rule no pre picks via pm's Eleven rule no late picks. Anything I missed above feel free to mention. I self mod due to seriouscoin I always pick -1.2 due to seriouscoin So new game 25 usd paid in btc Title: Re: Diff thread Aug 15 to Aug 29? prize = $25 picks are yet to start.

The btc world is starting to look more and more like it's going to be 10PH+ farms only, and all the small guys will be pushed out due to high operating costs, high network difficulty, and a sluggish btc value.

If ETH STANDS fast. We may all end up mining it or a replacement GPU coin. ASIC lock on btc. Is killing it. Gpu mining uses real pc's real warranties. You can get a deal here and there I just purchased parts on sale. 3 rx 470s for 550 usd . A mobo for 110 usd a CPU for 50 usd. A m2 ssd for 55 a psu 750 watt titanium for 140 Soft ware and ram for 95. A case for a hundred and this is a total of 1 k for 66mh uses fourhundred watts And a 3 or more year warranty on all the gear.

Pretty good It will be interesting to see what will happen to the 900ph in s-7 + avalon 6 it is almost all under water. at 6 cent power the s-7 generation goes red at a diff of 337 at 7 cent power the s-7 gen ----- goes red at a diff of 297 at 8 cent power the s-7 gen ------- goes red at a diff of 253 a new price drop to 500 would really hurt that generation I have a good power deal and I may buy another s-9 tonight. but even with the cheap power in the solar array i am not sitting that good. Title: Re: Diff thread Aug 15 to Aug 29? prize = $25 picks are yet to start. Post by: notlist3d on August 16, 2016, 03:13:50 AM Keep hoping to see some raise in value but seem's small drops were pattern, but that is better then a big drop. And all news considered could have been far worse. Last period I got really into 3D printing really neat new hobby so forum activity went down hard to say how many hour's I have already put into it. Has been a good new hobby though.
The difficulty jump was higher then I like, which is under 5 is my goal. I am wondering if big sales are going on with S7's from bitmain to low electricity companies. They are not focusing on S9 sales to public so I wonder on those if internal upgrades. Likely we will never know as they are very good at keeping internal secret's. Either way will be a interesting week to watch most likely. Title: Re: Diff thread Aug 15 to Aug 29? prize = $25 picks are yet to start.

The problem with s-7 is you need 2 cent power not 3 cent power. It is under water at eight cents and soon to be under water at seven then six cents.

The big jump of difficulty was in relation with the previous too big drop. Now it should be back to normal and the price should rise too in a few days. But I have bad news too. :( From what I've read, this may be the last paid contest of yours until you find another campaign :( Title: Re: Diff thread Aug 15 to Aug 29? prize = $25 picks are yet to start.

I did get almost all funding out of Bitfinex and when I count the funds donated from some fourom members. I got back 600 of 700. I can fund this without a signature campaign until Dec. I would pay 25 a jump vs 50. Title: Re: Diff thread Aug 15 to Aug 29? prize = $25 picks are yet to start.

Back to diff. there are or is 900 ph of s-7 and avalon 6 and it is going to become worthless over the next 3 months diff has to slow or drop. Thats my guess.

I still see something in the huge amount of s-7's and avalon 6's my power cost with the array makes my s-9's able to beat a 2 cent s-7 and all the older gear will soon need to be on 2 to 3 cent power. I just don't see the older gear lasting much longer. Title: Re: Diff thread Aug 15 to Aug 29? prize = $25 picks are yet to start.

If ETH STANDS fast. We may all end up mining it or a replacement GPU coin. gonna be getting into cooler weather in the northeast usa, so ill likely build out another rig soonish. use my current freenas box and turn it into a miner as ill 1st build a proper freenas server with supermicro parts (ecc ram etc). mining gpu stuff has the bonus of handmedown parts if you only have a few rigs and recycle parts into other systems. glad you got some money back out of that loss, so to speak. as someone said, a buck would do, although just the chat and prediction stuff is enough.. i mean look what to people go through just for faucet money..

They wanted to wait September, but the temptation was too strong, they not only replaced three 28 nm for one 16 nm miner, but they also plugged a few more 16 nm and some also got their 14 nm up and running! :o Who are "they"?

I ran my Avalon6 all last winter and spring, but I've had it off all summer due to heat. I had always planned to bring it back online once things cooled down again, but now I just don't think it's worth it. Maybe as a lotto machine run a few hours here and there just for fun, but yea all that gear will be falling off the network fairly soon I bet. I even ran my S5 all that time, too, but doubt I'll ever turn it on again.Thats my guess. Lets see how bad it is on sept 1 then oct 1 then nov 1 My S3 and S1 I keep around in a box just for the memories hehe. I'll fire up the avalon6 to see if it wasn't damaged and run it while at work. Saved $300 a month on electricity and still can run my 2 pool servers on the cheap. Title: Re: Diff thread Aug 15 to Aug 29? prize = $25 picks are open.

No hash at kano.is no 0000000000 in the gui but the power meter shows one board dropped. I would take the miner out of the loft at buysolars house bring it back to my house and it would mine fine. Bring it back to the loft and the missing board trick would occur . I tied many fixes at the solar array Booting no go reset no go lower freq no go use two boards with lower freq no go gear shows 1 board running kano shows one board running meter reads 2 boards. use one board with lower freq no go gear shows no boards running kano shows no board running meter reads 1 board network set up was. cable>>> router>>>> 32 port switch>>>> seven miners and other gear new setup >>> buysolar's other gear cable >>>> router >>>>> 32 port switch >>> new 5 port router > new 8 port dsl router >>>> Six miners one open port to attach laptop > new 8 port dsl router >>>> one miner room for more and the laptop and this lets all miners run with all boards so far no dropouts.

I want this insert in stainless steel http://cdn3.volusion.com/tupwt.vxhen/v/vspfiles/photos/NP-3813-2.jpg?1471996598 If you have 3 inserts vs one that comes with the kit making the cake is easier http://www.createandcraft.com/common/images/product/124579/super/124579_SUPER__000_20141206.jpg Title: Re: Diff thread Aug 15 to Aug 29? prize = $25 picks are closed.

Post by: vapourminer on August 27, 2016, 02:27:20 PM anyone track the biggest swing in a difficulty adjustment. like highest was +20, lowest was -10 for a 30% swing in any given difficulty adjustment since the contest started?

Quote Aug 29 2016 220,755,908,330 1.56% 1,580,232,344 GH/s Very interesting result. And I think it's good that the difficulty didn't rise much (although I really thought it will).Also I think that we have a winner too (Congrats!), but it's Philip's part to confirm it since it's his show.

Does this mean my 1.2% has a good chance if miners take a long time to find these two blocks? Spike is back and we are near 1.30% https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty I just took the 1.2% from nextdifficulty.com when I posted it, it was the prediction at that moment, and it's very close again now.
