So we are a tiny bit under as of now.

I do suggest not rushing on the picks  as it is early.

For me it is half the fun starting this early .   I also have not been changing my picks though as I don't want to waste your time.   

I have a idea that might be liked or hated.   Maybe make it where if someone wins with a pick that was changed give half the prize, and move other half to the next week.  Just seems one who picks early has better choices normally, and if they change later on they got a prime spot plus being able to watch difficulty for a bit.  So really is a advantage.

I struck out most of your post as it has wrong info.

We ended pick switches  months ago.  Basically it was too much work for me to do.

1 pick is  all you get.  we put the delay in to start at 300 then end at 1000 for picks.

the advantage of waiting gets lessened by early pickers since  there may be no picks at all .


but if there is a shift at block 850 to 950 a late pick can be good.

this is true since no one can switch an early pick.

Guess I didnt know since I have not been changing .  Glad to hear it though.  Save you work, and not waste your time.

I find it fun to pick early.  I have not been right yet ... but wont stop me from trying

[HerbPean]

I will pick +1,51%-1,75% !

Thanks Phil !

[Amph]

this time +3.51% -3.75%

[Lboss]

Until price is stabilized over 300+, I think hashrate increase rate will be lower. So, Id like to get from +0.76% to +1.00%

[notlist3d]

Bitwisdom slightly going up during the night:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    51,076,366,303
Estimated Next Difficulty:    52,190,041,739 (+2.18%)
Adjust time:    After 1668 Blocks, About 11.7 days
Hashrate(?):    358,427,996 GH/s

Price at 288, so still pretty good.  But very early on.

[freedomno1]

Going to the higher ranges on this one might be an outlier 
Calling 6%-6.25%

[kenscho]

my pick:

+4.51% to +4.75%

[Last of the V8s]
