I missed it to I have been sick this week.  Finnaly able to type more then a few words.   I tried to do a few posts earlier in week... by the time I got to end they were some of the ugliest posts I had ever done.. so did not put much this week.

I think around 5 would be my guess.  I still can't explain why we went crazy jumps and slowed down.  Makes 0 sense to me, and what scares me is it could happen again.  I think when next gen hits spec we will see some big jumps, but when... no clue.  Also could still see some jumps from some making last gen ROI.  I would imagine bitmain still could do S7's internally and make ROI a few times.  But if they do ... that is the question.

So Yesterday was fairly unique with exactly 144 Blocks. Also the downward trend that started Yesterday has continued with us off to a very slow start this Morning. As ever to early in the Day to tell but with luck some Hash has been removed from the network? Today's run rate, 8 Hours in, is -3.8% and run rate for this Period to date +4.95%.

If this trend were to continue we could end up zero or negative, but I suspect things will pick up...

93 blocks made in 16 ½ hours    means 93/99 = -6.06% rate for those 16 ½ hours   would be nice for this to do just that for the next few days.

A    -6%   rate for the next 706 blocks  would drop us close to 1%  something to hope for

Price is around 412, so not horrible but could be better.  I am surprised if we get a lower number then 4 that is a pretty good difficulty change anymore.  I could be happy with this change.

Yes the downward trend that started Yesterday has continued with the run rate Today currently at -10%. If this continues, here's hoping.... Then this Period could be a Zero or another negative?

sshhhh   stick with   +1%


then when it comes -1.11%

 I will roll it over.

[flikflak]

According to www.blockchain.info/stats there are only 168 nodes connected (slowly rising, normal is 300+). Maybe thats why we have seen the lower hashrate yesterday.

If we get another negative... I will even more confused.  It was like we had a race going on lots of hash hitting all around.... then negative.  If we get another negative I for sure will not know what to think.

I wish I knew if someone was planning on upgrade soon and clearing spots, that would make sense.  Or A1's finnaly coming out of commission in china data centers.  I have thought about a ton of theories every day but non can be backed up by facts.

[mu77aL]

+5.2 or stable 

[philipma1957]

Well blindminer would hope you are correct since 5.2 is his pick😀

[Mikestang]

looks like i missed it.  i would have said +4.8

I had a last minute trip out of town and also didn't get a pick in this week, but that's ok because looking at the trend the network seems to be dialing back every so slightly and I would have predicted a constant slight up-trend.  Most likely still be a positive, but not too drastic.

[philipma1957]

yeah blockchain was way down today.

atm +3.29%

nice!

[RichBC]

So the Downward trend for the Period continues, as to what is going on? It could just be that there is very little going on, with all that we have seen so far being nothing more than Variance and we are going to end up around Zero for the Period with no net loss or gain in Hash on the Network?
