[Biodom]

+5.1 = Biodom

Thanks. It is going down...at least I hope...

[notlist3d]

Adding two:

+5.1 = Biodom
+6     = Last of the V8s (member registered March 15)
+6.6   = Tmdz (Jr Member - registered October 21)
+7.7   = ezeminer
+7.8   = VirosaGITS
+8.1   = wlefeve
+8.3   = The Young Turk
+8.5   = valkir
+8.6   = Herbpean
+8.8   = tss
+9.2   = edonkey
+9.3   = Lituation
+9.4   = UfoRia (member registered September 22)
+9.8   = vortexz
+10.0  = Tupsu
+10.1  = zebedee
+10.4  = adaseb
+11    = mavericklm
+11.2 = dukeneptun

+10.6  = DanDan
+10.8  = ingiltere
+11    = Quickseller
+11.4  = artibg (member resistered December 03, 2013)

And I hope you are right Biodom we sure could use a week of lower difficulty.  Good news is value seems to be staying up a little bit.

[keystroke]

Can I get +8.4?

keystroke = +8.4

Thanks!

[Mikestang]

+9.9   = mikestang

Please and thank you.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty   (+8.97%)  -----  this is high but s7 batch 7 will arrive  at buyers mines so I think we move over 9 soon

We kept thinking S7 hash would hit for like 3 adjustments, but we didn't really see anything until this last one.  Do you really think batch 7 will makes its presence known right away?  I think we might not see it for an adjustment or 3.

[Finksy]

+10.2 = Finksy

*List sorted.
*Added keystroke and mikestang.
*Added Finksy as +10.3 because +10.2 is taken already. If you want another place please reply.

[notlist3d]

Added keystroke and mikestang.

Please do not add people to list. The last thing we need is multiple people doing this.  I copy/pasted wrong one... good one as in a notepad.  I do appreciate you spotting it and cleaning it up.

I know you had good intentions, but it just gets confusing with multiple doing it.  So please refrain from adding to list.

[notlist3d]

+10.2 = Finksy

@ Lituation  yeah  as much as it is tempting to help out  it won't work in the long run.

 I let suchmoon do edits and notlist3d when I run this contest.  It can just be too easy for a mistake .

Sometimes notlist3d will run the contest if I am on vacation or holidays (Thankgiving)  and of course suchmoon has provide almost all of the prizes.
 I gave 2 compac sticks away and he paid the rest of the btc prize money.


We have grown a bit and more  attention  is on the thread also we now have more then 2x the numbers to pick from.

Remember  we have really worked hard to keep this fun free and speculative.  
For the most part it has been that way. My apologies to d57heinz for calling him a FUD spreader last thread.

Back to spec:

And phil still has ultimate control .  I'm just helping with this week.   It will always be his as far as this thread owner.   So there is someone to overrule me when I make stupid mistakes.

Today just got really busy.  I'm still waiting on a few deals to come through.  I was expecting a easy day but turned into a long one for sure.

One simple rule for all participants if I may:

After you post your guess please check back in 12-24 hours and make sure your number is in the list and in the correct place. Double-checking one number is much easier and less error-prone than someone having to double-check 50 numbers.

And don't hesitate to point out any issues with your (or anyone's) pick. Remember - we love you even if we yell at you occasionally

Thanks suchmoon!  Honestly he does not get enough credit we should be thanking him more for the payouts for this.  It's very generous and makes this thread fun and active.

And it's perfectly true please tell me if I make a mistake.  I appolgize if anytime I don't sound thankful.  Above re-reading I don't like how the tone sounds from me.  I just did not want to add to list unless phil or suchmoon.   But if you see a mistake in list or anything feel free to say something.  

And remember the ultimate goal of this thread is to speculate and most of all have some fun.  So hopefully it is a fun experience for most.

11-26-- 174

11-27 --128

11-28-- 159
11-29--147
11-30--165
big swing days have become very common  over the last two months.


last adjustment after 8 days =  1267 blocks made   we were      +9.98%
this adjustment after 8 days =  1241 blocks made   this is 'only' +7.72%

'normal' adjustment for 8 days = 1152 would be 0%


and the big swing came back again  159-147-165

It would be nice that the cause is a ghost mine  in a ghost city in China that gets found out and snuffed out by Chinese governent.  Thus dropping 25-30ph off the charts.  we can dream.

we have about 100 blocks to final picks

[alh]

If I may:

+10.9 = alh

I am not as upbeat. I think the S7 and Avalon 6 push will mean serious jumps till 2016 at least.

[philipma1957]

+12.2 = philipma1957
+12.3  = EternalWingsofGod

I am right next to the EternalWingsofGod since I am pretty much as clueless as the next guy I may as well be close as I can.


And maybe power restrictions are happening in China due to this:

would be interesting to see a big drop in hash rate. tomorrow

Everyone should be updated and in right spot.  I did put myself in +11.7.   

No need to mass rush. But keep in mind that picks go from block 600 to block 1200.  So we not there but getting closer for those waiting twords end.

[Amph]

so there is a second peak? new rule? i would like to take +9.5 if not taken already

[RichBC]

So can't delay any longer time for a pick, has to be between +9.7 & +11.3 Hmm...

+11.3 = RichBC


Thanks
