When there are 816 blocks left then the contest closes as stated on the first page. Insane hash on the network, someone just flipped the switch on a mega farm or many mega farms. This looks like a hash war

It's not too late to pick. However it is too late for ROI, apparently. Especially for us poor schlubs who bought batch 1 S7s for 8 BTC each got 2 batch 1 but also a batch 4 for 3.6btc ... So avg cost went quite acceptable ;-)

Ok, I don't like doing this but I have to agree with HerbPean. These are totally utterly worthless user accounts very likely farmed by the same person. It would be unfair to the other participants to leave them in so let's remove them. I will tell them this if they are willing to give me their mailing addresses by 1200th block made also know as 816th blocks remaing. in case those one of those picks win. I will send the winner a compac usb stick. And they are not eligible for the btc award. All three newbies must satisfy this or all three will be eliminated. I won't accept po boxes business address only address with a real name. BTW when I send prizes out here and I have sent them out on more then one thread I always want a real name for a real address. So in theory I need 3 verifed different addresses to award the stick. Seems fair . and we can leave those as unpick-able picks so if they all give me real addresses for the stick up front. and one of them wins they get a free stick. but the .316 btc rolls over and next round I give away a new free stick. No regulars get hurt and if they were all legit and one wins this time they get a stick. It just means I give sticks away two times. From the next contest on account must be at least 1 full month and a junior member and pre-vet with me via pm

okay people 3 new members all joined the forum this month they are marked above. suchmoon and I have decided what to do with prize btc and prize compac usb.
I realize the prize is very good so new names are to be expected but I will track and make adjustments if this pattern turns excessive in fact I am inclined to not let any more new members pick this adjustment. The three in can stay in but no more new members is looking like it may happen here. Since suchmoon pays the btc I will defer to him on allowing the 3 new members to stay and have a shot.
If he does not want them in I will drop them off. We have mentioned in more then one of these giveaways that a rush of new accounts would call for action. NO New members will not be accepted in this contest they will need at least one month old sign up and decent posting.
I have put down how those three new accounts will be handled. AND no more new accounts For now I will wait to see what suchmoon wants to do with the three.
And I am banning any more from this point on during this adjustment period. No more for this adjustment.
And suchmoon can decide about the three that are in. He has posted that he is reviewing the 3 but is inclined to keep them. He needs to look on a better screen then his cell phone

Just something to think about for when the price really starts moving up. The hash rate is going to be unbelievable.
The halving ETA keeps moving closer and closer : 2016-07-21 12:10:50 UTC (31 weeks, 6 days, 12 hours, 40 minutes)
Network capacity is more as well as more space is available due to a larger number of blocks per fixed time period.

Amazing increase in difficulty. I rub my eyes: we've got +18.08%
If this trend continues, many people do not reach the ROI before Halving. Even with the steep increase in the value of BTC. It seems that even in January and February will see double-digit growth difficulties.

It's not too late to pick. However it is too late for ROI, apparently. Especially for us poor schlubs who bought batch 1 S7s for 8 BTC each Isn't that a good thing however? You only paid around $1800 but you started mining in Oct when the difficulty was still slightly lower and now all your coins are worth more. It was better buying the miner in Sept for $1800 then today for $1650.

I see halving in early july. I am not sure who's hash this is. if sp tech put the sp 50 batch out . they may have been this bump I think what we have is a coincidence of events. The second wave of the price rise has been underway for a Month now and it has become obvious that any old ASIC based Miner will make money. That has coincided with new releases, S7 and Avalon6 and I sure SP50 & Bitfury will also be having an impact. A race has been on to get any and everything mining to make the most of the current price and the period of time between now and the Halving. Just looking at one Pool BW.COM which for Months was running at a steady 30PH now it is touching 50PH. Rich

Estimated Next Difficulty: 93,403,235,071 (+18.08%) Adjust time: After 1260 Blocks, About 7.5 days
If the difficulty keeps rising like this I might need to start purchasing more coins as this is a strong indicator

wow.. crazy jump today. almost 20 % at some point.. i really hope this is not a sign of what's to come. feeling there's a real separation between the retail bought equipment prices and insider/miner pricing and we are about to see the network effect of such. the arms race seems to be in full effect till halving.. who knows what will happen then. on a brighter note, if we jump 20% every adjustment the price HAS to go up at some point.
please lets keep all the noobs off this contest. with such high reward the scammers and farmers will find and destroy this game soon enough. it is worth much more than their usual scams.

Actually it doesn't. Look what happened in 2014. There were 20% diff jumps and 20% BTC price falls.

Great for fast confirmations but bad for poor miners. I'm happy both difficulty and BTC price rise, though.

Analysis: big time megafarm went online, maybe multiple branches but it seems as the hast was synchronized and dumped at the same time, possibly to give them that lead time. Hash spiked and now the chart is moving sideways, I expect minimal movement at this time but btc went up to 435 so this hash can definitely stay at current prices. My pick is an effort to sneak into the mid 18's
