Thanks Coinbase! We know you are a lover of all the 'alts'  
This is as cool as you are not

The pools should still find blocks easier though, I would have thought it would still average out but with more lag as long as they're both on the same coin (although a small pool may not find any in a short period of time)
I suppose all the major X11 coins needs to analysed for a more accurate picture, I briefly checked startcoin(also sinusoidal) and it looks like around 24 hours per cycle, so is possibly slightly longer,  i could see there being a small phase variance on the X11 networks and when they overlap there will be increased 'noise' and slew on network hash rate due to profit switching pools switching over and over until the maximum profits become clearer (peaks and troughs in particular show distortion)

Fun mining mathematics in the afternoon,
I have noticed that the mining hash rate is somewhat sinusoidal in nature (a noisy one at that)
http://www.coinwarz.com/network-hashrate-charts/dash-network-hashrate-chart

So I decided to work out the period, frequency and amplitude.
Knowing these constants, it is possible to predict the next best and most profitable time to mine (or not!) and see the general 'mood' of the network.

The last 4 peak to peak waveforms and calculate the median hash baseline (almost at a new peak which is not included)

Average of last 4 peaks = 85.8 gigahash
Average of last 4 troughs = 58.7 gigahash
Result: Median baseline = 71.26 gigahash
Amplitude (from baseline) = 13.26 gigahash

Peak to peak period and frequency:

Times between last four peak to peaks waveforms (hrs) = 14 + 25 + 31 + 18 = 88 hrs
Average peak to peak time(period)= 22 hours
Frequency = 1.1 hashing cycles per day

Predictions:

Last trough was today at 02:00 GMT so the next one will be 22 hours after at 00:00 GMT midnight tonight (on average)
Next peak will be at 11:00 GMT tomorrow.

Conclusions

For most profit per kilowatt hour mining.
Switch miner on at 20:00 GMT tonight and turn it off at 04:00 GMT
Make sure miner is turned off by 09:00 GMT tomorrow for over 4 hours.

Speculations

Oddly, the hash period is slightly less than 1 day length at 22 hours, almost as if one part of the world is trying to beat another part to hash first, and they keep over taking each other by shortening and lenthening and then it resets and repeats again.

Edit: So our hashing wash cycle is 1.1 cycles per day, and a woman is 1 cycle per month  

Yes, the western psychopaths unelected leaders working together with around 20 agencies are doing everything possible to start another cold war and perhaps even a hot one as well, particularly in Ukraine, I heard that the eastern elites are sick to death of their western out of control counterparts.
And endless war in the middle east, it will never stop, they are even saying it could go on for decades, and people vote for this kind of shit.
Never once, has it been asked by our shameful presstitute media, is this a moral, legal or humane thing to do (regarding bombing millions of people in the middle east with DU shells/planes/drones for example)
Like all bullies, the elite are a bunch of cowards and I hope that they are brought before a war tribinal one day, starting with people like Tony Blair-our 'peace envoy', who I believe has just been offered a job by the Ukrainian President (not mentioned on our 'no news' channels of course)

So, back to bitcoin, this I believe was created to stop the bankster backed murdering elite/war production machine, and Satoshi remarked about this a few times, they he could not have foreseen that it would have taken over by agents and infiltrated from the state department, the cat is out of the bag now and not everything can be subverted, and this leads to projects like Dash whose blockchain can not be mapped/tracked and analysed to the point of knowing everybody's financial business and does not have any coin colouring weaknesses(that are known)
I reckon Russians are less niave than westerners because they have been fooled already by communism and is not so easy to con the second time but am understand their skepticism over virtual currencies.

anyway thats my 2 rubles,
Please keep up the excellent work on Dash, your professionalism sets a great example, many thanks,

Sub-Ether.

Hi Alex,

I am wondering whats the general vibe of bitcoin in Russia, and how do people see it, is it viewed as an option out of trading with the dollar for example and even as an alternative to using the ruble, what is the governments view on it (we hear negative things about Russia on our pay per view propaganda channels and is sometimes hard to discern the truth, although talking about bitcoin is still considered a big no no by the lying BBC so I guess they have not decided what angle they are going to come at it from just yet)
I noticed that Russia today is the only available channel in the UK that gives the daily 'spot' price of bitcoin next to gold and oil.(we are only allowed to hear the price of oil anywhere else)

Regards,
Sub-Ether

I imagine they're playing it super safe as this is all new and untested, way I see it, the more options to fiat the better, even if there is a wait.
When other exchanges see usecrpytos getting business from paypal, they will also adopt it, and perhaps speed up the process as a carrot to use them instead, give it time, Rux, give it time. (no pun intended, hehe)

Btw, thanks for the info, let us know if the payment is recieved ok, finally  

Nice one!
I have been getting between 2.5 and 3.5 Dash and the mining has gone up as well  
It has to be down to the difficulty at almost 2,000 and the hash rate hitting a surprising 51 gigahash.

I think you have put the default coin example in by accident (i.e. riecoin/ric),
use this,

and the hash result will now search correctly.

These type of bank holidays are known for happening over the weekend, wonder how many atms have been emptied,
is there a border town leading to an EU ATM for further funds available ?

You got me, well done!

Edit: If I ever meet you, I will remember this 

I am aware of the online betting prices until the end of 2015.
I do NOT get what you are offended by, its only 1 Dash bet for god sakes, I was just having a bit of fun,
tbh, I don't care which side of the bet I take , is just a laugh, so don't be so serious eh, forget I even said it, eh.

As its a shortish time limit, its a 1 to 1 bet ratio, so 1 dash either way, are you interested ?

I understand this part  

Until Greece gets back control of their state currency (i.e. the drachma) , I can't see it getting any better, and same goes for all other countries in a awful state atm like Ireland and Spain (youth unemployment over 50%)
We're in the EU, here in the UK, it is not neccessary to be in the Euro currency, when the 4 founder members of the EU started in the 70's, everyone was told it was for trade only, it was not about losing control of your country via the ECB bankster hegemony and Brussels.
Greece and others had their gold seized 'reallocated' by the ECB and creditors for joining the Euro and bailout money debt which they only actually recieved 4.5% in their pockets.
This is a con and an asset seizure on a soverign basis, or do you believe the Fox news/BBC's version of events ? 

So who wants to make some easy Dash for weekend fun ? 
I will bet 1 Dash that Greece will still be in the Euro by the end of the month (30th june 2015)

Any takers to bet against me ??

Well, coinomat.com require 0.0005 btc per vote and we need over 6400 votes to win for end of the month which means
we only have to pony up 3.2 bitcoins to be added to an exchange that uses mastercard and visa.

There is absolutely no volume,we must create it, I got a good euro price on my Dash via bitcoin 
Try it !

diminished part deux  

Come and buy my freshly mined Dash  

Get your metal ass to Mars and lets trade some euro / dash !!

https://usecryptos.com/market/DASH-EUR

You obviously missed this  

https://dashtalk.org/threads/usecryptos-is-surpassing-cryptsy-in-volume.5461/#post-56858

First positive thing I've noticed is it only takes 1 confirmation to deposit Dash (3 tests)
Second thing: there is currently no dash/euro trading but it exists and could be created from selling a little bit of bitcoin to generate internal euros.
Third thing: mandatory minimal verification before use of account (not sure its checked, account confirmed quickly)
Fourth thing : you CAN withdraw to a paypal account (1.00 + 6.00 %)
''Daily Limit D/W 0.00€/2000.00€ Monthly Limit D/W 0.00€/10000.00''

Fifth thing : you can raise daily limit by providing further ID with proof of residance
Sixth thing : support tickets are a different user/password system

Diminished again  
Its new, there is no volume yet but btc/dash is volumetrically appealing and btc/gov paper is also high, they await your coins, Coins.
