[VirosaGITS]

+9.1 = VirosaGITS

I was hoping for a small + or -, but the high average is already at +4.5% and the 512 block is already close to +10%, so i am afraid we might even be able to get into the +2 digits raise, this round.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

has us at (+4.15%)  really too high but the network can rip blocks at a 170 pace and then the 4.15 would be good.

[adaseb]

I think you are correct, its highly unlikely that it will be over +10% this period. Maybe if we get some +25% days until the diff increase date however price is stalling and looks like the difficulty is getting tired from rising.

[Mikestang]

I've been away from a terminal where I could monitor diff growth but I have been able to watch the price and I'm glad to see it back over $400 again.

+3.6 = Mikestang

please and thank you

[edonkey]

The price is recovering pretty significantly from the recent downturn.

I think my cat was relying on a lower price helping keep the difficulty flat. Perhaps there won't be any fishy treats in it for him this time...

[notlist3d]

+3.8 = Notlist3d

Thanks! And edonkey is nice we are doing decent on btc value rise today.  Coinbase at 418 currently so a pretty quick rebound and is just getting better and better.

@edonkey: You have your cat tasked incorrectly. He/She needs to be doing Powerball numbers, not BTC difficulty changes!
