Standard Deviation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation). Or the more precise every day term "shit happens". :D Title: Re: Recent block Post by: MountainOfCoins on December 16, 2014, 02:06:37 PM Price dropped significantly and unless you have free electricity or running a farm with newest (efficient) miners - mining is not viable anymore. But the network will readjust the difficulty eventually.
