Looks like a positive bump this time ... interesting to see how diff is jumping up&down since Dec 2014 ...

Yea most likely a small bump in difficulty this week.  Price is around 237 so we did gain price compared the the 220 we were at for a long time.   

So it's still not all bad.

 yes we did gain more in price then diff so it is a good deal.  I am wondering if avalon is going to put out a new 5 chip miner.

maybe they read sidehacks thread and ck solo pool thead.

I'm wondering  the same. Will be interesting if they do release one. I also wonder on SFards since they did show a dev kit. 

It seems like they should have a miner in not to long if they really do have prototypes/devkit's.  I don't think i've seen anyone with one yet so guess it cold be a bit.

we have made 1953 blocks  we are plus 18   so  1953 vs 1935 =

and we are a real number of (+0.93%)

bitcoinwisdom says (+1.36%)

there are only 63 blocks left about 10 to 11 hours from now we adjust.

Going down to 0 is tough.  I would say +0.50%  to 1.25% make sense.



We have not had any new gear since 2014 the s-5 the sp20 the avalon 4.1 all came out in 2014

stuff is happening soon I think or I spec.

[mavericklm]

at least we don't have +45% like at the end of 2013 )

[notlist3d]

Bitwisdom tonight:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    47,643,398,018
Estimated Next Difficulty:    48,547,361,322 (+1.90%)
Adjust time:    After 196 Blocks, About 1.3 days

Looking pretty solid it will be around +2 this week at the end of it.  Price is slipping slightly at 236 we have a lot of trouble getting to and stay above 240 it seems.  I'm hoping next difficulty change we can see it go above 240 and stay.

Yeah, it looks like the folks that picked a decrease are out of luck this time. I am beginning to wonder if this is more than just variance. For some reason it almost feels like something real got added. Nothing real to back that up, just that it seems like this may be a permanent +2% addition, rather than a transient one.

On the upside, I am in the running for a win this time!

And price is on slightly downward trend at 236.

here is my guess avalon has built the mini 4's and is burning some in.

I also think the same of sfards….   If we did not have the very low block count on mom's day we would have done 3 or 4 %

I think we may slide over 2 by sunday.

as for a daily count

https://blockchain.info/blocks


356681 - 356614 =  67 blocks in 12 hours and 10 minutes  which is down   as 12 hours =72 +1 so 73 would be 'normal'

Down six  for this half day.  so that would be about up 24 for the entire 1865 blocks made so far

 so 1865 vs 1841 =  a real time number of  (+1.30%)    with  151 blocks left

[valkir]

The retarget of the diff was not suppoce to be the 14 ??

We are the 17 and still no update. I probably didnt see something??

[notlist3d]

Price around the night is around 236 and moving up very slightly tonight.  Still not over the 240 again.

My goal for near future is solid over 240.  But I'm not sure how long it will take us.

I was a little disappointed.  It seemed like we would be between 1-2 percent.   But it did jump at the end for sure.
