the four right above are all in. I Just put in  RichBC, and now philipma1957

I will put them in the wall of quotes one at a time, without using  the judypug1956 account  to prevent double posts, thus it will take a little bit to do it as I need wait for posts to the thread to work them in..



oh today is a strong day about 135 blocks and we should be 110 this is a 160 block pace


What some people do not realize that  the 164 yesterday is a 194 if it was last difficulty.
and the possible 160 today would have been 190 last diff adjustment.

[notlist3d]

Almost looks a little like art or a boarder with so many quotes, think that is the most I have seen like that.  Looks nice I think.

And I am an example of someone who thought they would be smart and wait close to end.... and forgot .  So I wont be wrong this week... but wont be right.  Price is 416.... with this difficulty ouch is all I have to say.

@ notlist3d     I think it is going up up and away.  I waited until 40 blocks left and still think I did not pick close with my pick.




One last guy to put in to the wall of quotes.  it will be one quote for every person but the first picker.  It looks very thin on my ipad mini.

[wlefever]

Two wall quotes practically take up the entire page! LOL

I really thought we would see this period dip into the single digits, and still feel like it will towards the end.  With todays price dip I'm looking for the network hashrate to finish out around 711 Ph/s! We shall see...

The quote wall is done!

If you have a widescreen and shrink the page then expand the page the wall moves quite weird .

Well it is a bit of fun for now.

I'm hoping so traditionally we say this before Christmas I think it seemed some cashed out for holiday spending.  I thought we were lucky and did not get it but appears we might have got it just after Christmas.  It was a ugly day: http://www.coindesk.com/price/

Hopefully your right and we will see some upward swing soon.  I guess good news is we did not swing under 400... so not near as bad as a day could be.

Well bills come due.  My discover card bill posted today  always posts the day after christmas. 

Only $1055  which is 2.4 coins

All picks are above. 

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty  (+10.47%)


we have 712 blocks left    and if you are 7% to 13%   you are in the hunt.

The blocks made chart shows us rising big last two days.

[adaseb]

Yes yesterday was pretty bad. Ended the day with 170 blocks which ended at +15.3%

[Mikestang]

Most of China does not celebrate christmas, right?  So that holiday wouldn't be expected to have any effect on the big mining farms I guess.  Still another impressive jump, because 10% network growth again is a lot of machines coming on line at this point.

[Tmdz]

In the last few hours there was a 40ph jump sitting at 764 right now.  Combined with the price dip this will hurt as munch as last round.  I'm really worried this won't let up being there are so many s7 being shipped out and miners are receiving them.  One can only hope this pressure let's up soon.

[flikflak]

Networkspeed @ 0.92 exa hashes/s... I think we will break the 1000 PH/s in January 2016

[wlefever]

Networkspeed @ 0.92 exa hashes/s... I think we will break the 1000 PH/s in January 2016

I never saw that bump coming before the new year.  That was a realy bad blow to reach over 950 Ph!

The price drop was related to some China rumor of Bitlicense like regulation like in the past.  We will see what develops around that and if the price support picks back up with this hashrate increase.

121 blocks in 14 hours we should be 84    that is +44%   it is a 207 block pace for the day.   Of course I am projecting 14 hours into 24 but still 207 pace!

Today is a horrible day. Caused a huge spike. Will probably end up being +20% for the day.

Today is a horrible day. Caused a huge spike. Will probably end up being +20% for the day.

At least price went up a little it's around 426... so not the 450+ but still going up so it's not all horrible.  Bitwisdom still does not look horrible but it could be wrong if some spikes happen:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    93,448,670,796
Estimated Next Difficulty:    104,628,550,777 (+11.96%)
Adjust time:    After 551 Blocks, About 3.4 days
Hashrate(?):    849,586,844 GH/s

[adaseb]

Today ended up being +30%. There is a huge spike on the Bitcoinwisdom charts. Most likely it will be around +10% for the diff increase.

[d57heinz]

Had quite the boost in speed the last two days.. its bitfury f2pool and bitmain leading the charge. http://data.bitcoinity.org/bitcoin/hashrate/7d?c=m&t=a  We did for the first time hit 1 exahash over 24 hour period.. Looks like we might well exede that by end of january.. They trying to squeeze out all that old tech.. Hell at this rate its gonna squeeze out the new aswell

Got a good glimpse of us hitting 1 exa over 24 hour here.. http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin-2k.png  And for whoever runs that graph.. thanks for updating it so we can see past 800 peta:)

edit also one thing to note kncminer also doubled there hash. could be variance  but its a nice bump..we will see over time

Best Regards

yeah diff looks like up up and away.  last three days are nuts

516  blocks to go.

Today was a 205 block day

 So

205  = 61 blocks over
171  = 27 blocks over
163  = 19 blocks over      so in 3 days we were 107 blocks over

539 vs 432  this is a +24.76%  growth rate  thank goodness it is just the last three days

look at this chart
