BTC/USD: 280 coinbase

Right now 277 at coinbase. It seems this change were stuck in high 270's to low 280's.

I keep hoping we will get a little boost into 290's or even 300's but so far we have not been that lucky.

so once again upwards

I go out of town for a few days, out of touch with electronics, and come back to a $277 btc price. I was hoping it would go up by $15 in my absence, not down, but at least it's still a strong price and diff is hovering around where it's been all summer. Guess the Greece shake up did a little for btc, but not as much as people hoped. Which is a bummer because just today on the new they're saying how Greeks can't send money internationally and I'm thinking, "Hello, bitcoin?"

Once you tried, you cannot go back.

I'm sure, it's only a matter of time.

Bitwisdom went down a little:

Price is around 278 per BTC. So getting better slightly.

Would be nice if this is true and change is under 2 percent. Still sticking with my statement great summer for miners.

Quote from: notlist3d on July 21, 2015, 09:08:25 AM

well we have 609 blocks left. about 4.3 days. we can still jump over 2% but we could drop more. maybe we go as low as 0.77%

While I guess it's still possible, a difficulty DECREASE is growing ever more remote. Two increases in a row like this suggest to me that we have a real growth in the network hashrate, and not just variance. I don't think we'll see difficulty below 49 Billion again.

With the value of the Bitcoin growing, im not sure we are seeing a grown but more like a restart of old gear.
There is always a buffer of old gear that just wait to be on again.
If the price of the btc drop then the hashrate will drop again.

Until we see new gears, we are on a balance level.

Well bitmaintech is still selling s-5's . Bitfury and KNC are mining away. Some other pools are doing well.

BW.com, BTC China are 2 that seem to be growing a bit.

I think in house mining by builders is growing very slowly but growing.

As for today we are a bit off the 144 block pace.

105 blocks in about 20 hours we should have 119 or 120 to be on pace so we are 14 off pace for today

About 4 days left if we could do 4 days of 130 we could yet go negative. but for now we are around +1%

Price is still hovering under 280, right now 277. Seems like 280 is our barrier for the moment to pass.

that 280 number is why diff is pretty flat. 280 to 308 is 10% . so we dropped price which puts a damper on the diff.

127 blocks instead of 144 -17 for the day very nice.
