  they are using very short block counts to make a prediction.

Ie last 24 blocks should be   4 hours to give a zero   if they were  3.3 hours  they give a higher jump.

I am not inclined to figure it out.

What ever that site is using it's not looking great this period:

Conservative: 3.1% 4% Continous: 6.5 %

I hope that is wrong I'm missing our 2 percent changes we had.

While it's not another "crash" BTC price is now slightly above $220. Looks like a slow gradual decline from the $230 it "recovered" to after the mini-crash early last week.

It's not good with difficulty increasing, even if slowly, and BTC price falling, also slowly.

This is fairly depressing.

Crashing and burning... down 1000 points at the open... major players (Goldman, Apple, Merck, etc) getting hammered (losses of more than 10% per share).

BTC price is still around the $220 mark.  I'm going to go with another positive difficulty increase.  I'd like +3.51 to +3.75 please.

[Mikestang]

+3.76% to +4.00% for me please.

I wonder if summer coming to an end is having an impact on the rising difficulty, also.  It's going to be interesting to watch these next few changes and see what happens to the price.  So many things in play, stock market, new hardware, XT... pretty soon the 2016 halving will start to really impact all of this as well.  Exciting times!

[jonnybravo0311]

Exciting times indeed .  I'd love for a few difficulty decreases or a nice boost in BTC price (just so I can keep my S3s plugged in), but I don't see the former happening any time soon, and the latter would likely only exacerbate the rising difficulty.

[mavericklm]

thank you for putting me with my usual choice!

i guess they already have the s7... so no negative atm, or maybe we have some badluck in finding blocks and lowering the diff

your site is saying negative:

[Mikestang]

Price continues to drop, going to be time to start buying coins soon.  Was ~$220 when I posted my pick this morning, now closing in on ~$213.  Looks like we'll see below $200 today if this keeps up.  If it gets too low we're likely to see some miners shut off, don't know if that would be enough to move difficulty down, though.

The next difficulty keeps getting bigger: Conservative: 4.5% 5.5% Continous: 8.4 %  so not good at all there.

And price as we all know sucks.  205.... ouch.
