+2.7 = HerbPean

Thanks !

[RichBC]

So the upward trend continues with Yesterday the biggest day yet at +16.6%, 168 Blocks. However I think things are beginning to stabilise with the runrate this period to date at +4.87% and the run rate Today, 7 Hours in, still finding it's level at +6.3%.

[VirosaGITS]

I'll take

+4.2 = VirosaGITS

I still cant make sense of it:
Mar 04 2016    158,427,203,767    -3.10%    1,134,066,098 GH/s
Feb 19 2016    163,491,654,909    13.44%    1,170,318,852 GH/s
Feb 07 2016    144,116,447,847    20.06%    1,031,625,717 GH/s

We had 2 in a row of huge increase.  Then a negative... which I still cannot understand.  This period we will gain that negative amount plus some... will be interesting to see how much though.

[tertius993]

I'm going to reverse my successful guess of last time so:

+3.1 = tertius993

However, if I win this one I'd like my winnings to go back in the pot to extend the competition.

I think the big increases are just that, a lot of hash, aided and abetted by the S7 / Avalon6 / approaching Halving / high price / impending Holiday, was added by the big farms. I think it was those very large increases that then caused the negative.

When any system changes by a large amount in a short period of time the mechanism that is controlling it tends to overcompensate (aka adjusting the shower temperature to quickly) and I think that is what the last difficulty change did. We are now coming back from the overcorrection and probably a small increase on top of that?

The cats are still giddy over the last reduction. They're playing like crazy (sometimes in the middle of the night, which is not much fun for my wife and I). But at least they're not hiding under the couch anymore due to the insane increases we suffered.

Still it was a bit painful getting this guess out of them. Anything north of a few percent rankles their fur.
