BTC price holding strong at 291.  This 300 dollar barrier is an interesting one, we keep nipping at it, slipping back, then nipping at it again.

Man it is all over the place. Price & difficulty. Almost feels like a lottery.

That's exciting isn't it?? I hope price fluctuates around $280-$300 so we can keep the difficulty adjustments somewhat flat.

[notlist3d]

The difficulty still looks really good.  Loving each week low difficulty change, I fear for this going away.

If we could only get back up to 300 again.  Was nice to see it above 300, but the good news is did not fall back a ton.   Could have been a lot worse.

True enough the fall was a moderate one it does mean that the difficultly will not likely go up to much in this period though where a $300+ boom market might have pushed 6% guesses at an average 2-3% one at present but their is still some time for the price and difficulty to change.

there are lots of negative numbers left and we may end up negative.

I'm really liking the difficulty so far this round.  I keep guessing it will go up but I'm happy to be wrong in this case.

Coinbase still at 279 so not going down, but not going up either.  I want to hit that 280 mark again.

I wonder what a drop to 225 would do?   I would like to see a strong drop in price and a following

drop in diff of 5% to 10%.

129 blocks in about 21 hours   norm is 126 blocks


I figure us to be just negative maybe   (-0.25%)

we do have negative numbers left.

Yep, looking good! I think this adjustment will be up, but before summer ends there will be one or two more decreases before more next gen chips launch.  It all depends on what the price does, and vis versa. Obviously hard to predict!

I have decided me guessing high is good luck.  I'm at least consistent . 

Really is surprising me how low it is.  I keep thinking some company will flip a switch and a bunch of hash show up, but so far great time for mining.

[alh]

Please put me in for -0.51% to -0.75%.  I don't really expect it to go negative, but I also see nothing greater than 2% either. I hope I am right, or perhaps Phil.
