Have to find an older thread with the rules ;D


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1484047.msg14964950#msg14964950

 I am checking this list of rules from older thread

1)you must have been on this site since April 1st 2017  you must have at least 30 posts. --

2)I will check you out if you are new and decide if you can play.
3)you get one play per adjustment. which must be yours alone, in proper format and can not be changed.
4)Do not pick someone else's number If you do I will assign a number and that will not be changed
5) picks start at:

Bitcoin Difficulty:  
Estimated Next Difficulty:  
 
Adjust time:                 Block    1116  
  
Hashrate(?):  
Block Generation Time(?):  
1 block:
3 blocks:
6 blocks:
Updated:  




6) picks end at

Bitcoin Difficulty:  
Estimated Next Difficulty:
  
Adjust time:      516

Hashrate(?):  
Block Generation Time(?):  
1 block:
3 blocks:
6 blocks:
Updated:  



7)  since this is a free contest I make all decisions if there are any issues or problems.

So you bumped it to 1.5 LTC  and a compac stick  .

Lets get another rollover.  Bring it to 2.0 LTC

I will cap it at 2.0 LTC

So last jump was about 4.82%  and  price at coinbase is over 2500.

Mining is still ahead of April 2  price was 1147

Diff was 499


Now about 6 weeks later

price is 2550

diff is 711

I suggest you open an amazon referral account, so when you help people and they buy all kinds of gear (and they do...) you get a %, and it costs the person nothing - assuming they order off amazon.  That way you could get an amazon gift card once in a while and buy yourself a good book to read while everything hashes away nicely.

well  .029 btc was given to me


I will  use it to fund this giveaway.  and I did get a bottle of NJ cabernet  Palmaris 2013 Outer Coastal Plain Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

from Tomasello Winery

http://shopwine.tomaselloproducts.com/product?productid=60F082D2-C8B4-407B-9E84-D0D6F9E14430


So  the coin was worth 75 usd  the wine was 25 usd

so 50 more in fundiing  for the game covers the next round

We will do 1.5 ltc and 1 usb stick   for this round as it is a carry over.  and nice low diff  see below

I don't see any real reason for a diff drop, other than the possibility of Bitmain pulling a bunch of "semi-new" production miners out of their own farm and selling them, triggering a 1-2 week short-term drop while those miners are in transit.

 Given they are sold out on their "next batch" and that's not due to ship for a while, I figured diff would be driven by the competition selling miners that AREN'T sold out as regularly.

I have wondered how closely the aggregate hash rate tracks BTC price. For a while BTC prices had been rising rapidly, except it has now fallen back more to a $2400-2600 range. With no obvious spike back towards $3000, might enough folks "switch off" to matter?

Some will turn off an s-7
 the s-7 is around 10% or 15% of the network.

if you are a 20cent power miner your s-7 becomes very marginal at the 1700 dollar price point

As always I don't think I'll hit it or get close, but it's always fun to put a spin in the mining game :)

Also, as the prize is LTC including a Compac, would you consider doing the game but with LTC diff? I know it's more variable than Bitcoin's but it seems more fitting for the current rewards.

Actually the rules of bitcointalk do not allow contests - giveaways. To promote alt coins .

So I can't run a ltc diff contest.

More reasons to follow on your questions .

I had someone give me a few ltc coins as prize money if I ran this.  Since it was a btc picking contest I added the compac because it mines btc.








We are open for picks!

That's too bad, I hope they might change the rules a bit so we could do it with LTC :) still a great little game going on, for the rewards and fun I can't complain. Even though diff looks a little negative right now I figure we might still turn out slightly positive for this difficulty period.

While I got too crushed by my regular job to participate, I had been figuring that it was going to be a negative jump. The current figures continue to support that, though it might be even more negative than I was thinking. This would be the 1st difficulty decrease for 2017.

about 90 blocks to go


https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty


we are at -1.31%

the closest to  this number are:

-2.3 = landy1264       this means -2.300000.... to -2.3999999.....

-1.2 = Tomintx          this means -1.200000.... to -1.29999999....

-0.5 = HagssFin         this means  -0.50000.... to -0.59999999.....

if I pick it I will roll over if we all miss  the prize will go to 2.0 ltc and 1 usb compac stick from sidehack

And the final result was -0.43 per bitcoinwisdom.

 I'm really supprised at the drop, though I suppose summer heat and dying miners might account for it.

Looks like it may already be starting to move back up.   I wonder if the summer heat can keep it at bay for another cycle.

Glad I live in a place where it's not too hot for mining, or I just have resilient S7s. Winter will likely bring about another large rise in difficulty, but I hope that won't happen.
