Post by: Stephen Gornick on October 09, 2012, 06:01:59 PM Estimate shows lowering it back under 3 million, course we got a way to get to the 17th and its only 6 days since the last change http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php This post would really be more appropriate under the Mining Speculation board. The way BitcoinWatch does its estimate has been pretty accurate: - http://www.BitcoinWatch.com The live view shows: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-thumbnail.png Difficulty: 3,054,628 Next Difficulty: in 1071 blocks 3,016,686 So at mid-point, it is about even (there is a margin for error, so no clear direction increasing or decreasing has been established yet) If I had to bet I'ld still say the next difficulty number will begin with a three.
