There is a large demand for new equipment. The biggest demand from the mines themselves.
Look at the recent purchases of equipment in HaoBTC - 1,600 units of A6 !:

It'll be probably more than %10.
I didn't expect that much difficulty raise. That's very surprising to me.

91 blocks   should be 76 in 12 hours and 42 min about 19.7% for today only.

Since they bought $2.5 Million dollars worth of miners, they are pretty much betting that the price of BTC will be much higher then it is presently $320.

Just look at intensifying the accumulation of external funds: PACMIC, interest-bearing deposits in HaoBTC or BitBank. It was not before on such a scale.

Well the game is growing.  I will soon go from 2 s-7's = 9.6th to 16.6th as I am adding 2 avalon 6's

I have  1 s-7   hosted  and  I have 2500gh in s-7 on hashnest.  So that will be 23.6th  I am adding 2 more s-7's in dec = 32.6th

At this point I will be set until the spring.

Block Generation Time(?):   
1 block: 9.1 minutes
3 blocks: 27.4 minutes
6 blocks: 54.8 minutes

Will it decrease to less than %10? Only 74 blocks left but I see a down trend.
91 blocks +10.97
81 blocks +10.92
74 blocks +10.60

With that logic it would be somewhere around +9.80 to +10.00. Still far from my prediction (+8.80).

Ok this is getting exciting.

To spice it up a bit I'm offering a quick Yes/No quiz for the first 10 posters who respond in this thread - read below.

0.05 BTC total prize.

The question you need to answer: is the upcoming difficulty adjustment going to be in double digits? (i.e. +10.00% or more)

Only the first 10 posts after this one will count. For example if 4 posters answer Yes, 6 posters answer No, and diff goes up by 10.41% then the 0.05 BTC prize will be divided among the 4 posters who answered Yes, i.e. 0.0125 BTC each.

Entries won't be accepted after less than 10 blocks remain (if we don't fill the 10 spots by then).

This is NOT related to the main contest, which is likely to end in a rollover.

This quick quiz is guaranteed to pay out no matter what the result of the diff change is going to be.

Again, the question is:

Is the upcoming difficulty adjustment going to be in double digits? (i.e. +10.00% or more)

Post Yes or No below.

Edit: feel free to post the actual percentage you're guessing too and/or any reasoning why you think that way.

Yes. Here it comes.

[Jamphone]

+7.8 = Jamphone
or
+7.6 = Jamphone

In case 7.8 is taken already

[suchmoon]

Sorry, the main contest is closed... your "Yes"  for the extra quiz has been counted, thank you!

Yes.

I think we're heading for close to +12% this time.  Have you all seen that HaoBTC is opening a second mining facility?  They plan to be 20PH by next year.

[suchmoon]

Three "Yes" votes
One "No" vote
I'm reserving one spot for Phil, 'cause otherwise he's not gonna win anything for a long time stuck down there in the negatives 

5 spots left.

Going for the underdog and hopefully a dip before the adjustment.

Lower, just under 9.95%, because my first thought was higher and I am always wrong.....
