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...

Why in the world did you repost my exact words from 5 days ago?

Not that I object if someone else lets their cat guess the difficulty

I deleted his post.  I consider it to be spam to copy a post and and nothing.

Especially when you have a signature that appears to pay for posts.

I post like mad. Ten twenty times a day but I take the time to write something new.

its funny you said that. . I was going to bust him out but i couldn't remember which user used the cats. Now i remember was you:).. When i checked his post count he had like 40 for the day and was all over btctalk not adding anything of any value just spamming the board... was odd for sure.. Thanks for clearing that up:)

Just up in the UK, 162 Block Yesterday. We are at +5.6% at the moment, 36 Blocks to go and I think we will land between +5.6% & +5.8%

Just noticed that is where the Big Gap is   We will see....

[kama]

Estimated   120074384376 in 23 blks

is it equal to what % ?

[RichBC]

Since I posted above we have pushed on a bit, 22 Blocks to go and I make us at +5.83% so my estimate above probably a bit low, however I have seen things pull back in th last few blocks before. Boy this is difficult even when we are nearly there.

I wish it was under 5, guess I always wish less.  But if at the end of this at less then 6 I will be decently happy as it seems crazy jumps are slowing down.

I really want to know machines were being used on the few big ones we had not long ago.   I would think a lot of the big guys in it would be waiting on bitfury, or other next gen gear.  Although with having coming some might be trying to get every bit of BTC mining they can do before it.

[RichBC]

We are continuing to push on, last 3 Blocks within 3 minutes. We are at 5.9% now. What I find scarey is knowing that Bitfury is not out there yet and even uncertainty about where Spondoolies is?

An interesting snippet on the Difficulty is that I discovered the other day when trying to reconcile my numbers for precious periods is that there is a bug in the calculation and even though the period is 2016 Blocks, the calculation is done on 2015 Blocks. Had me scratching my head for quite a while before I found this out.

395,136 is the block correct? Then it should be sometime in the next 2-3 hours.

Yes that's what I make it. I think we will finish up around 12:00. +5.89% at the moment. It's going to close to +6% but even at this late stage only needs a few quick or slow Blocks to move it up or down a decimal point or two.

11998/11335 = 5.849%

these are the ones in contention:

+5.4 = flikflak
+5.5 = tennozer

big gap right here

+6.0 = Lituation
+6.1 = kama


Of course 13 blocks can be made in under 1 hour  or in more then 5 hours  that would get out of the current range.


We can determine the % by dividing the new number by

Hmm well I think we are going to drop into the gap...

BTW Nicehash has been paying at around .005BTC/TH/Day since 16:00 Yesterday and if it goes anything like last period they continued for a couple of Days after the Difficulty change at this rate. Worth a look.

Wonder if there is some secret alt coin out there.

[RichBC]

Well I make that it... and my spreadsheet says +5.89%   But we will have to wait for the official figure.
