So sad when a good conspiracy theory gets busted by something more mundane (i.e. facts).

Yeah looks like they are testing out software. Oh they may have waited until today or not. If they add huge amounts over the next 2 weeks which they may one could argue they scheduled the down time now.

We did under 140 blocks today so we dropped a bit. I will post in about an hour. with the other site's info for the 9th

http://www.bitcoincharts.com/ >>>>>>> has us at (+1.83%)

Blocks   364618
Total BTC   14.365M

Difficulty   49402014931
Estimated   50308754342 in 278 blks

Network total   306140.614 Thash/s
Blocks/hour   5.19 / 693 s >>>>>>>>>>>>> very slow

with 278 blocks left we are looking at sat the 11th

I thought you were posting in an hour or so?

And BTC hit's 286 it appears.... we hit a little rocket ship that blasted it up

. Fun to watch.

If we get this kind of price and a low difficulty chance man will this be a another week for us miners that kept mining through it.

Coins have past 291 then dropped to 284.

we have made 81 blocks so far

https://blockchain.info/blocks

we should be at 78 so not that bad.

Even though I didn't pick it, I'm happy that things dropped back down to the 2.5% increase range... for a while there it really looked like we were going to see north of 5%. Chances are exceptionally good it'll be over 50G when it happens, but with the price of BTC at $285, my S3s will remain plugged in another couple weeks

I'm still hoping we can drop under 2%! Definitely a plus the S3's(and +) can keep on churning

I will be happy if we can just stay in 2's. If so I consider that a sucess.

The added value is very very nice suprise. I really want to hit 300 mark and we are not to far away from it at this point. Maybe another surge or two.

And difficulty is still moving slow... long live mining!

I'm surprised that with the btc price edging up to $300USD that we're seeing such a small diff increase, I would have thought we'd be going much higher.

Most said it would be. And it's a nice surprise for miners. I even believed them and got rid of some S3's, wish I would have kept them now.

We really have had a great summer on difficulty. We will see if it continues I sure hope it does.

Price is looking good the question is if it can hit $300 next round and if the miners will adjust more to this new normal price.
(7 decreases 9 increases in difficulty since December this one would be 10)
Not that many blocks left a small change from a few mins ago.

73 blocks in 11:41 should be 68 so we are over the current number of

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty (+3.49%)

this was a good adjustment period while we went up say 3.5% price went from around 265 to around 290 that is a 9% or 10 % jump

52 blocks left so figure 2 to 4 pm sat the 11th Eastern Standard Time.

Damn, I was hoping for a slightly lower increase, and REALLY would have liked a decrease Grin
