It wasn't reset, it was changed.  It was "do you think difficulty will drop" now it's "do you think difficulty will continue to drop".

I'll give you a hint that's less than the decrease.  Did you put in too many 2s or something?

You can predict drops by watching hash rates, knowing a little investor/miner psychology, and comparing recient events to things that happened prior to past drops.  Mainly its just taking the hash rate and doing the math, and if it keeps going down so will difficulty.

Not if, WHEN.  In a matter on minuets (one block) the difficulty will drop about 84k.  That's about 4.5%, it's not a record, but it's still awesome.

Happy mining!

This seems like a good idea, but I think you need to rework your percentages.  Maybe if you could make this more enticing than the other charity lotteries, and no offence, but what makes this better than Bitlotto jr. (aside from the charity thing)?  If anything it's worse, my advice is to make charity optional, the max a person can recieve from the lotto should be about 95%+, and the tickets should have one flat price like .01 or .05.  Yes your intentions are good (I hope), but what you need to consider is that most people aren't that generous, even if they got the whole pot some wouldn't bother to take the time.  So, for some it's not about generosity its about their time, and if they think it's a waste they won't do it. 

I'll buy a couple shares.  Ehh... why not.   They're .11 BTC right?
                   

This reminds me... I made a backup of my wallet a few days ago, but when I needed it I had already forgotten the PW for the flash-drive, after some digging around I found a recovery key in an encrypted zip on my encrypted partition.  In short I've finally restored my wallet. 

   Note: Some people forget really important things, I'm one of them.

Sry, I misread.   Oops!

Anything in the negatives, it could go down -.0000000000000000000000001% and I would be happy, as long as it doesn't go up...EVER!

Thanks for the info. 

@#$ realist, always have to drag me back to reality.
Anyway, bitcoins are bitcoins and I'll take another 2%-ish percent of em'.

Network hash rates have been dropping little by little for a while, and maybe, just maybe we'll see a nice difficulty drop.  It's almost like panning for gold, shake out the sand and dirt (the not so real miners) and you're left with the gold (as in the real miners).  

Same here.
I've been using slush since I started, I've tried a few others, but they don't go quite as well for me.

True, but I can't complain.  I'll take what I can get, and think more long term lets say at that BTC a day that extra 2% (additional .60/month) would make a nice bit of pocket change, for lets say idk... maybe a couple lotto tickets or something.

Nice to know.  

I just ran across some interesting info that some of you may already know about.  A potential and what appears likely difficulty drop, so far it's predicted to drop from the current 1,890,362 to aprox. 1,854,133.  That's about a 26k drop, I know relative to the current difficulty this is insignificant, but a drop like this has to be noticeable to some miners, or is it?

Hello, I'm new here, anyway I've been looking through the forums, and I just saw a charity lottery posted by someone called "bitcoinone".  Is this real (as in legit)?  I'm a bit a paranoid, so mind my not so trusting nature.  And is it me or does it say they keep %25 of the entries?

I have to say I'm not too fond of the "Newbies" policy, but I understand why.  Just one thing, you stop spam by making newbs spam this thread?  I suppose it works... or could work.
