www.bitcoinwisdom.com is down


well we just hit block 438  we have 1578 blocks left

for now we are using:

http://www.bitcoincharts.com/

Blocks   357270
Total BTC   14.182M
 
Difficulty   48807487245
Estimated   48515874446 in 1578 blks
 
Network total   303096.877 Thash/s
Blocks/hour   5.21 / 692 s


the  estimate is  about   (-0.597%)


I get this by:

 est diff/ diff = x -1   shift .00 = %

or

48515874446/48807487487245 = 0.99402549613378 - 1 =  -0.0059745   shift .00 for percent

and you get  -0.597%  as  a real estimate of  diff adjustment

Any idea what's happening with Bitcoinwisdom difficulty charts? Been stuck for 2 or 3 days.

Just in case there is any question about how to determine the winner if Bitcoinwisdom is down:

(new_difficulty - old_difficulty) / old_difficulty * 100

Then rounded to 2 decimal places. That would be the winning percentage. Difficulty value can be obtained from any number of sources including your QT wallet.

+3.26% to +3.5% plz

We just have to hope that bitcoinwisdom is back before the next adjustment, since it was originally decreed as the decider of the outcome, right? Aside from the predictive aspects, is there any other website that captures adjustment information?

Once the adjustment happens every single connected Bitcoin node on the planet has the new difficulty.  Getting the information would be exceedingly easy.  Current difficulty has been posted a number of times in the thread, so comparing old vs new and obtaining the percentage difference is trivial, I would think .

You're welcome. Thanks to philipma1957 mostly though - he's running the show, I'm just pushing the "Send" button at the end of it.

True... I should have written, "thank you for providing the funds that support this contest, and for pushing the 'Send' button at the end of it."

Phil definitely goes way above and beyond ... between these contests, the work he's done with the ck solo club, multiple hardware reviews... definitely a very valuable member of the community.

Thank you both!  I would have almost no interest in tracking difficulty between changes if it wasn't for these threads.

yeah never had 49.9 coins in a wallet until yesterday.

 I think the most coins I have ever had was 20 or 23 there were worth about 400 each  but were in multiple wallets.
