As always  I am taking -1.01% to -1.25%

[mavericklm]

mine will be yours mirrored

finally some negative or new better hardware will keep us above 0?!?!

[suchmoon]

I think it's safe to say that Bitmain won't be able to deliver the S7 during this cycle, and the exchange rate remains low so I'd say a small change is likely. Which has been the case lately anyway, I mean the last 5% change was nearly 5 months ago.

[notlist3d]

Sure would be nice if we do get a negative this week. Last week was not horrible but i really like 2 percent or less.  But at least not a crazy big number.

Price seems to be hanging around 230 for a while now.  Hopefully we can get a little higher on it during this period.

[Mikestang]

With all the hype around Bitmain's new chip, the S7, and even the S5+ I don't think negative is in our near future.  I'm hoping to see another <%5 positive move at the worst.

[suchmoon]

Hopefully we can get a little higher on it during this period.

Only if the XT nonsense gets resolved somehow. Which it probably won't anytime soon.

XT I think will be there for a while sadly.  I don't think there is a chance it takes enough to become the main coin.   It is sad they even have it as it's just hurting btc in my mind.

I think biggest thing is still the flash crash.  That took a LOT of money of people buying up.   Normally that amount spent to buy would not happen in such a little time.

[VirosaGITS]

It would have taken some other major news to cause that flash crash and assuming it was FUD instilled by XT isint much of a stretch.

XT is definitively going at this the wrong way.

I wouldn't say it's the wrong way, it's how Bitcoin is supposed to work - consensus decides. The sad part is that we got to that point. There's been talk about block size for months if not years and if the problem doesn't get solved by the "official" devs then sooner or later someone would attempt a fork like that.

Also makes you wonder if Bitcoin 2.0 stuff (sidechains et al) has any chance of ever happening in a climate like this.

I don't have any problem with the block size code. Its all the other shifty code unrelated to it that they perhaps maliciously implemented. Like the IP blacklist code.

I don't think that's in there. Some click-bait "news" sites may have spread some rumors as far as I've seen.

Here is the commit i am referring to;
https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt/commit/73c9efe74c5cc8faea9c2b2c785a2f5b68aa4c23

Properly used, it could be of some use, albeit not necessary, but this add centralized authority to a decentralized body, as i understand it. At any rate there's better ways of doing this.

Very early in the week but here is bitwisdom:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    54,256,630,328
Estimated Next Difficulty:    54,370,133,238 (+0.21%)
Adjust time:    After 2004 Blocks, About 14.1 days
Hashrate(?):    408,339,410 GH/s

And price is still around 230 no huge moves.

The above is what I think is from a "frozen" bitcoinwisdom. I've been seeing that for almost a day now, so it's really a meaningless number. It's also way too early to matter, but just thought I'd mention it.

Mine showed a negative a day ago.  I'm was not aware it was stuck on this.  Hopefully it changes soon then as I enjoy watching it.

[VirosaGITS]

Ah indeed. I just noticed now it indeed stuck just after the diff increase. O.o;

Thats weird i been using this forever and i never noticed any bugs. I wonder what causes it.

Not sure what causes it but I have seen it happen before a while back.   I think it was in the day's that it took for it to work again.

Not sure if it will take day's again.  Hopefully not but we will see.

picks will open in 83 blocks.

in the year we have done this  (hard to believe these threads have been running for a year)  bitcoinwisdom  went down 1 diff adjustment period for 8 or 9 days.

For now  this site keeps track

the convert to percent       EST/diff    or 54285518942/54256630328 =   1.000532 - 1 =   0.000532  x 100 =   (+0.0532%)


Intuitively  (+0.0532%)    makes sense    since the estimate of 54285518943  is only a tiny bit more then 54256630328.
