Title: Final Diff thread prize is $75 runs Sept 25 to OCT? picks are now closed.
Post by: philipma1957 on September 25, 2016, 11:36:52 AM
So while I did not want to run any more threads it looks like the universe has a different plan for threads then I did.

So one more last thread.  ;)

I will boost to  $75 for the prize. To make it easier to win  picks will start at 916  and end at 616.

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 May 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 916 and end picks at 616   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

$75 dollar prize picks starting at 916 and ending at 616  will finish this off. (I hope)

I was surprised to see this thread. But it's always a nice surprise.
I do read them and I do enjoy reading them and playing into this.

Funny how before the halving everybody was saying that the hashrate would go down and the price would go up but the complete opposite happened.

If I remember it well, the price had quite a jump last winter. The new price was good enough to cover the mining costs and since then the price mostly grew. We had 240$ or so, and now it's 600$.
The halving was expected to bring a pump and dump, but when everybody expects that, the speculators stay away :) There was a pump before the halving (760$?).

I think the large theft of BTC from bitfinex set the price back and from the viewpoint of big money guys show the huge weakness of btc

It is too easy to get it stolen and BTC helps the thief to get away with it.

Compare it to ETH  while it may be just as easy to steal  ETH prevented the thief from keeping it.

I am a nobody money wise in these coin games, but a big player had to be swayed by the results of the two thefts.

As for the diff jumping compared to the ½ ing  the s-9 is 2.5 x better the ½ ing  is 2 x worse

scale that  against the diff of 213 on july 4 the  diff should be 266 today it is 241  so the adjustment is lower.

Many fail to see that the jump from s7 to s9  in eff more then makes up for the ½ ing.

It's not necessarily a weakness of BTC, but a big player needs to keep big money at the exchange.
It doesn't have to be seen as a bitcoin weakness. If the exchange can this easily get hacked, I can understand why some are not eager to keep value (money or BTC) on services so weak and gave up this business.

As for the diff jumping compared to the ½ ing  the s-9 is 2.5 x better the ½ ing  is 2 x worse

Wow, I didn't know either that the difference between them is SO big.
Yes, if the efficiency also makes up for the halving, then indeed the price is more than OK now for the miners, no reason to force it to rise.

it is actually worse  the new s-7's  are at .28 to .29 watts a gh    the s-9s at .1 to .11    watts a gh

As for what coin to have to be safe I am not so sure big hitters feel safe with either coin as there are a lot of ways to lose them. 

But  ETH  manage to stop a 100 million theft or manipulation coins.

BTC has not done this that I know of.

Sad to see final thread, it's been a lot of fun thanks phil for running them.  It sure is high already I hope it goes down as price does not seem match the difficulty jump up, which makes margins smaller... and smaller.

And I agree ETH is interesting they stopped a theft but at a high cost... price went down even had the ETC come out of it.  It was a unique situation with a lot of powerful whales that did not want to lose money.

  yeah frankly I could go for 50-100k but for lack of protection I stay in the 10k to 15k area.

Right now I have :

4 s-9s             = 5200
27 gpus + pcs = 7800

6 or 7 k in mixed coins 
2 k in cash

which adds to 22000, but the pc gear has real value so I can be higher in my investment

Haven't kept up with these too much phil it's already coming to an end for these diff threads? It's been a pleasure having you run it back from the 0.5% guessing.

Also Bitcoin itself hasn't been hacked AFAIK, it is just the exchanges that have to be treating funds like fort knox. I still feel that it is pretty secure holding your coins as long as you don't do sketch stuff.

numbers are really bad  or is the peak spent?


Big peak huuge  !

Possibly a burn in test for new gear, or another large pool firing up and testing their setup?  Whatever it is, it looks scary.  We'll have a 300G difficulty before long (and I remember saying we'll have a 100G diff...).

well the s9 at 10 cent power  and a diff of 300  makes $3.20 per day

at a diff of 400 makes $1.56 per day

at a diff of 500 makes $0.59  per day 

but if you have 5 cent power the s9 makes $2.25 usd a day at a diff of 500

So I can see this moving to a diff of 500  it will take time but looks to happen.

Those spikes are intense.  I was so close last time :(  The bitcoin gods will never let you stop this hahahaha there will be no winner for the foreseable future :p

$75 dollar prize picks starting at 916 and ending at 616  will finish this off. (I hope)

The "Next Difficulty" website paints an even darker picture +11% (range of +8 to +18) using their algorithm and numbers. The BTC price is also still holding in the range of $600-$610. No major changes on the price front for weeks, isn't it?

Are we seeing the new A7 coming online?  That's a huge jump in network power, wow!  So much for the halving slowing down network growth.

lets hope they share this power with us soon! I think they've missed their deadline by now.

With all but the eastern US seeing cool temps not too much winter heat is coming online. I'm still trying to recover from the 107F it was here on Monday in Los Angeles.  I turned off everything but my AC.

the  spike is back again.

and it dropped off a tiny bit.

Still a 6 to 9% jump looks very possible

we are at block 1074  we start at 916  since I want someone to pick that winner and we end at 616 which means about 2 day window to pick

While I do I hope the A7 does come to fruition, I think it's important to remember that NOBODY has paid for an A7 yet. Any "deadlines" are/were completely speculative as far as I know.

Just check it and was at +5.61% then it refreshed and now +5.41%. Heading to wrong way for me.

If it drops down far enough and I win philipma1957 then stick it in to the solo pool and split it with everyone  ;)

Phil, thanks so much for hosting this contest for so long. I was skeptical at first, thinking that predicting future difficulty was pure guesswork. That's why I made gentle fun by having our cats do the actual guessing ;)

But I was wrong. This game was not only fun, it became an important center for discussing the future of mining.

I'm going to miss this, because to me this thread has become part of every difficulty adjustment. I (or rather our cats) will probably keep guessing now, even without the thread.

All that said, I completely understand that you need a break.

Thanks again for your efforts!

Neuroticfish , congrats !

Phil thanks so much for running this, i always looked forward to these, not for the reward, it was for the fun of the guessing and watching the difficultly jump around and come near your guess towards the end. lent some suspense and fun as opposed the regular FUD that is everywhere else on the forum..

O M G
I've had a very busy day, actually the entire week was madness, me an my family have moved to a new home.
And we are still moving stuff.....

It was my less active week and I was not expecting this, especially as the last time I checked the diff was rising...

Thank you very much.
Wow.

An address... 1PaperxsxXxCrmEH8rGvaXctnrQur7cSQu please.
Thank you very much Phil!

I hope you enjoyed the party, it sounds like quite a tiresome trip.
Take your time, that money it's going into the "make me rich someday" wallet, so it's never in a hurry.
I still have the "I can't believe it was me" smile :)

party was a lot of fun.  I am sore and tired this morning.  thats the joy of being 59 vs 19  body takes two or three times longer to feel good from a hard day.

This set of threads was fun suchmoon came up with prize money idea and funded it for a year and change . I liked idea and funded it for 10 months.

I believe we gave away close to 3000 usd worth of btc.
the lowest price btc was during our time span was about 180
the lowest diff was about 35

price was as high as 770 it is now 615
diff is 258

Hehe, I'm only 41 and I know what you are talking about.
But as long as it was fun, it's ok.

Very interesting stats. I didn't know it was this long. I expected it costed you quite some money.

This was the opposite of most of things I've seen in this forum. While most of this forum sings about greediness, you and your threads were about being nice, informed, have a good time and maybe win some free money too. This is much closer to what I've seen in Dogecoin community when I came into the crypto world. And the name suchmoon sounds very much like Dogecoin related too :) I thank him too for the idea and for starting it up.
Most of the thanks still go to you, Phil, since it was you who ran these threads when I started reading them. And you are the one that has paid from own pockets my prize too.

Thank you.

  Yeah it has been fun for the most part.  I am just getting a bit burnt out with the day to day grind of mining in general.

The bitfinex robbery.
The s9's breaking far too easily.
The lack of a signature sponsor to help pay for this.
The extra care to maintain my GPU farm to allow for ETH coin mining.

I need a vacation.


So we be locked and done for 2016.  Maybe I come back on my birth month in 2017 (January )
