Newest Diff thread April 19th to May 1st-Closed for picks!!

While I won't complain about an increase in BTC price, a rise from $218 to $230 won't really have any significant effect on mining operations I don't believe. I don't think there are Petahash's sitting on the sidelines just waiting for a $15 bump in BTC price. Now $300 will motivate some folks to restart operations in my opinion.

We are not going to get a huge jump at once I don't think.  I think we will see smaller amount's if we get gains.

A 6 percent gain in one day is still very very nice.  Look at it percentage wise not dollar raise.

And closing out the night bitwisdom went down just a little bit more:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    47,610,564,513
Estimated Next Difficulty:    47,331,767,323 (-0.59%)
Adjust time:    After 799 Blocks, About 5.6 days
Hashrate(?):    345,791,889 GH/s

Price is heading downwards slowly currently at 227.  Hopefully it can change to up again, that would be nice.

145  Apr   19th  half old adjustment
155  Apr   20th    + 12
157  Apr   21st    + 25
149  Apr   22nd   + 30  
131  Apr   23rd   + 17 blocks is real time number  
124  Apr   24th    -  3   blocks is a real time number at the end of the 24th
159  Apr   25th   + 22 blocks
151  Apr   26th   + 29 blocks
135  Apr   27th   + 20 blocks

we have made 1218 blocks   we are +20 so we should have made 1198 blocks  this means we are  +1.66 %

 We had some very low days the 23rd , 24th and the  27th were very low.

The 20th, 21st and 25th were very high.  this pattern looks like variance more then a trend. but who knows.

I think it's not so much about someone restarting mining, but perhaps someone not turning their Ant S2 off just yet. By the way I purchased my S2s nearly a year ago and they are still (barely) profitable at $0.10 USD per kWh. Marvelous. Spondoolies SP10 is another ancient model still running strong.

  yes or a small miner downclocks and upclocks avalon 4.1's or sp20's

since the power efficiency  changes with the clocks.

[Amph]

i didn't follow too much, who won  the last diff change?

and there is another peak to choose?

Nobody won last week. Its rollover. This time prize is 0.2 BTC and rules have changed a little bit.

Anyway, picks were closed 3 days ago. They are full from -2.5 to +5.75 without any interval. But its very uncertain , however it seems we will get a positive rate according to last 3 days.

Would be nice to have two negatives in a row, but i don't think we will get that lucky.  I hope I'm wrong though.

 As of last nite we were 26 blocks in the plus ,  but we have some under  numbers  today ,  so  negative is possible.   My guess would be  +1 % TO +2 % is most likely.

    +26 or - 26 blocks when compared to 1400 blocks made show very little action one way or the other..

    2 days at 130 would get us to negative  we did do 131 and 124 on Apr 23rd & 24th.

I think most of the mining world it threading water waiting to see what happens next.
We miners are very much at the mercy of coin price. Why expand when coins are cheap.

14 million coins = about 3.5 billion usd   may 2015
10 million coins = about 10  billion usd   dec  2013

the above = slow diff

Slower day today less blocks made.

Price is at 225.70 coinbase.

I think there just might be a chance of a second negative.

[alh]

Even if it isn't negative, it will be a small positive. As I mentioned, I think this is strictly the oscillation of variance, as opposed to anything substantive in terms of actual hashrate.

[EternalWingsofGod]

Well according to difficulty its down to -1.78%
So with the oscillations we might see somewhere near 0 it would be fun to see it be exactly 0 in percentage terms haha
Adjust time: After 504 Blocks, About 3.6 days  when I was checking it out.

0 is more likely then +5

with 75 percent finished block wise  the max we can do is 3 or 4 %


we just seem to be bouncing along very close to zero gain.
My house got a bit hot today so I lower my power for mining and my hashrate by  240 watts and 300gh

So whatever new gear sold now

S-5
s-4+
avalon 4.1  is being balanced by downclocking for heat.

I would love to figure northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere percentages.

My guess is 70 percent above the equator but no info on that just a guess.

GBTC could start today or tomorrow. And price is a little ($ 6-8) bit up. If this happens till weekend , then I guess we can wait for a + in diff for this time.
