Post by: leowonderful on August 01, 2017, 01:31:52 AM Yep, BIP148 just locked in and Bitcoin Cash is on its way. I'm curious as to if the Cash split will make total hashrate decrease or if we will continue to see a hashrate increase on the Bitcoin network. I think it'll stagnate somewhat personally.

Not seeing any significant effect so far - seems like BIP148 isn't very popular among miners, but it's early hours yet, that could change over the next few days. Title: Re: Newest difficulty contest. 2 ltc plus 1 compac stick as the prize. Post by: philipma1957 on August 01, 2017, 04:27:09 AM So far price and diff are pretty stable.

I am woefully ignorant about anything related to "the fork". Does anybody actually mine specifically on the fork? Title: Re: Newest difficulty contest. 2 ltc plus 1 compac stick as the prize. Post by: QuintLeo on August 02, 2017, 08:24:21 AM So, do BCC discussions fall into the Alt-Coin area, or are they welcome here? I am woefully ignorant about anything related to "the fork". Does anybody actually mine specifically on the fork? Someone does, but apparently not a lot of folks. They were reported to have found their first block early today. Bitcoin network hashrate on the other hand didn't even noticeably blip - the current "flat" seems to be that Bitmain got all of their "July" miners shipped and they're now up and running....

Bitmain did just put a new batch of S9 up for sale (along with a CRAZY-FAST SOLD OUT batch of L3+). Title: Re: Newest difficulty contest. 2 ltc plus 1 compac stick as the prize. Post by: leowonderful on August 02, 2017, 12:55:36 PM Apparently the network hashrate has dropped due to BCH making mining a little more tempting for some- I will personally continue to mine BTC and BTC only but this could change. One big motivator for BCH going up is that you can't even deposit on most exchanges, so price just continues to go up. This will probably be over in a week or two and price will just settle around $200-300.

BTc price is on a real tear now at $3278. Looks like Phil's estimate/hope of $3000 by early August is spot on. Just have to see if it holds.

Experimental Image Contribution: http://mining.tipsternet.com/images/BitcoinWisdom_AdjustTime.png Let's see how this holds up over time. If it works well enough, feel free to quote it Phil. We got as high as 3335 on coinbase the other day. and BCC is about 209 so with BTC at 3293 on BITTREX that adds to 3503 which is past 3500. I can see a lot of shifting happening for the next few months to come. On july 31 12:01 btc was 2731 and bcc did not exist So this is a jump from 2731 to 3503 if you kept your coins in a good place. Some did better if they had coins on Bittrex Some did worse if they had coins on Coinbase Some did okay if they had their coins in a core wallet. https://coinmarketcap.com/ is back over 110 billion dollars for all coins Title: Re: Newest difficulty contest. 2 ltc plus 1 compac stick as the prize.

It always happens with such large increases and I wouldn't be surprised to go sub 3000 again.
Seems like BTC hashrate is still increasing like nromal this time. I guess I overestimated the power of BCC, was some good free $ converted to BTC though.

I guess I overestimated the power of BCC, was some good free $ converted to BTC though. Can't knock free money. You said it. I traded all my BCC/BCH for BTC as soon as I could get it from my Trezor into a reputable exchange. Missed out on some of the early excitement, but I was playing it safe. Also those 20 confirmations to Bittrex when BCH had slow block times was a bitch. Could have done better if I took more risk (like leaving my BTC on an exchange before the fork, or using a lesser known exchange with a lower confirmation requirement), but I'm happy with what I got. Especially at BTC's price today. Title: Re: Newest difficulty contest. 2 ltc plus 1 compac stick as the prize.

This generously fixed the order by send me whites ones on their dime. I told them I would do the next promo and give away a black one. While mentioning their generosity in fixing an error.
