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.

    NO New members will not be accepted in this contest they will need at least one month old  account and decent  postings.

I have put down how those three new accounts will be handled.  AND no more new accounts.

And I am banning any more new members from this point on during this adjustment period.

No more for this adjustment.   if you have been on this  site for months , but not in this game that is okay!

153 blocks for pick to end
we have about 20-26 hours for picks to end.

 Guys remember the 212 block day  it came and it went well it must have been bitfury testing see below

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/bitfury-opening-third-carbon-neutral-bitcoin-mining-operation-georgia-1532998


 No one know how good they are , but

 50 mw x 3 =  150 ph
 50 mw x 4  = 200 ph
 50 mw x 5 =  250 ph

we did 212 vs a norm of 144  but all the other days we are doing close to 160

so we did 212 vs 160   which is 52/160 = 32.5%  so .325 x 566ph = 183ph

So if it works and does not explode (we can hope for that)  and based on the monster 1 day spike    they are going to add 150 to 200 ph.  

 This is good new not bad news.  we are doing about 650ph this period add 200 = 850 ph lastly next month some more will  be added.

So by my birthday (Jan 27)  we will be touching 999ph   or 1eh   I think  eh   comes after ph.

Now go back to sept we were 404 so 404 to 999 = a factor of 2.5 price was   230 now 430 a factor of  1.87

so if you did not upgrade your gear   2.5 is higher then 1.87

but if you switched out to s-7's  you power is 2x better.

so 2.5 diff jump  would not be so bad since  with 1.87 price jump and 2x power improvement  the good factor is 3.74

What is better is if you have long held s-5's from last jan's price war  you can still mine them and finally order your new s-7's today.

We will then go flat like last year

Well I have left it as long as I can, but it's still not easy to choose.... However the new system working well with plenty of choices left.

Bitwisdom just keeps looking more scary:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    79,102,380,900
Estimated Next Difficulty:    93,460,256,165 (+18.15%)
Adjust time:    After 856 Blocks, About 5.0 days
Hashrate(?):    638,246,465 GH/s

At least were still hanging around 435.  So decent value. But this period on difficulty will hurt.

[Lboss]

+16.6 = Lboss ( again last minute )

I didnt expect such a great jump. Hopefully price continues to support the diff change. Otherwise its bad for miners who especially bought via BTC 

[adaseb]

This is nice to see.

30 mins the day is ending and ill post the tally for the end day.

Positively pedestrian. Unfortunately the next 6 Blocks went through in 22 Minutes...

It's far above my pay grade but I really suggest looking at keeping this rule on future ones aswell.  It just seems allowing newbie is to easy to game system.  Higher level does not make it perfect... but at least they had to put some time into it.

Still high 430's , 438 to be exact.  I'm hoping after change we see a jump to 450 but I don't know that it will happen.

[skuser]

I am too late so just for entertainment purposes I have to say +29% ...

[keystroke]

All the picks are in so good luck to everyone! We almost lost about another day this round : Reward-Drop ETA: 2016-07-21 03:33:34 UTC

[ailikun]

Jeez...
It looks like it really might be a 20% difficulty jump this time.

I thought i would never see those kind of difficulty changes, anymore.

Good news is price broke into the 440's.  Right now where hitting 445.

So could be interesting to watch we might hit the 450 mark I have been wanting to see.  I think this difficulty will hurt but price will go up.

Thats why i think the chess move now is to buy coins.. let the manufacturers fight it out.  My opinion would be if you have to buy a machine wait till end of january or so.. That way you can get the miner at the lowest cost. And at that point diff would hope to level off for a while..  There is no way you can mine back 40 % in a month of miner cost if we keep seeing these crazy jump.. Im waiting till the network hits around 850 - 900 peta before i look again at miners.

Good luck to all this round.. looks like i was once again conservative.. will have to rethink my strategy for next round.. if the pattern hold i look for them to turn back on soon before the next diff adjustment.

even if we do 20%  do not forget the monster 1 day 212 blocks made  if it was bitfury doing a test .  It means they can do 180 to 250 more ph then what  we will  jump to in a few days.

Estimated Next Difficulty:   93,646,950,212 (+18.39%)  and about 700ph.

So say the above happens and one day 1 of the next jump bitfury adds 200 ph

we would then go to 110 diff  and 900ph the next jump.

The above case is not unrealistic.

d57heinz PPN method of prediction  may prove very good.
