Diff thread Mar 18 to Mar 31? picks are closed.... prize = 0.1 btc

[HerbPean]

So diffficulty wise we are not looking bad.  I am happy with a low difficulty change.  I still am surprised S7 sales did not have a bigger impact, but maybe next period.  But I'm happy difficulty wise.

Value wise not huge but we did start in mid 420's and are now around 416.  So lost some value but not a ton.  So hopefully we see a little rise, seems slow going on this.

Less then 2% is really nice IMO. Two more weeks with just a small diff increase. 2 months of "stability" wasn't expected on my side. Now that the S7 price went quite down, we might see some uptrend tho ... This is interesting ... Bitmain seems to want to give a huge pressure on Bitfury pricing, if and when they come out with some products or just ship some chips at all. This silence radio is disturbing me. I was quite sure we would see a massive flood of the new gen just around the start of April. I'm not going to complain, I like the current Diff movement.

If we could keep the same pace until the halving that would be epic. i'm just dreaming while i'm awake I guess

I only wish we keep same pace, I agree 2 and under til having.... would be beautiful for miners.  I think this S7 batch will do something. Either they are selling ton of racks for next gen, or selling a good amount of a new batch. Either way I see difficulty going up from bitmain.

And big thing is next gen it scares me.  I think if someone hit's  specs we  will see difficulty skyrocket as they pump out next gen chips.  I don't think we can avoid the next gen difficulty wave that is coming (i think at least someday).

The new Batch 16 of the S7 has one fan ... Not sure it's going to be a gold mine for them. I wanted to replace an S4 for a new S7 (used in fact) I will wait I think.

I think the coupon code will cause them more then normal sales, but I could be wrong.   But I think a lot of those will be batch 15.   I am not sure what to make of this new batch 16, I was kinda surprised they took off a fan.  But they did manage to make production price even lower... which I'm sure goal was.

[flikflak]

The Batch 16 with only one fan looks really awkward - and of course the "warranty void" sticker is exactly where you would add the 2nd fan. For 7 bucks less, well I don't know what to say. Maybe they are running short on fans?

Batch 15 has arrived today and is already on the network "again". It looks new and smells like new, I can't complain yet. 2 boards are a bit wobbly (can't remember that before) and one board gets significant hotter than the other two...  it still meets my expectations.

Congrats to the winner. Crazy to believe how the difficulty pretty much froze for the last 2 periods.

[flikflak]

Congratz wpt1wpt1!

It looks like Slush and Bitfury had very bad luck during the last 24h. Both found only 7 blocks instead of ~20 as usual.

Congratz to winner as always.   I feel like we all win when we get low numbers like this.   I'm starting to not be quire as scared of bitmain if change was just a new 1 fan model.... might not be the big changes I was thinking might happen.

[HerbPean]

Congrats !

[VirosaGITS]

Very happy i was quite too high

[Mikestang]

Congrats to us all for a sub-1% increase.  This was actually the closest I have ever been to a correct guess.  We saw a bunch of hash come on and off again there toward the end, let's hope it stays off.
