I think we are going up a little? And we still have another six days to go, so every bet has a chance to win.

What could be interesting is what will happen if they start selling lots of S7's at new coupon price.  We might see a temporary negative from machines being unplugged and shipped.  How much... like anything hard to speculate.

But I do see them selling a decent amount at new coupon S7 price.  Could be an interesting next month.

I think we could hold right here, eh? 
Ach, as long as it's low, or even negative again, I'll be more than happy!  Thanks to Philip for doing this and adding even more juice to the bitcoin game. You da man!

The price is shooting up this morning. I had a sell order at $422 that had sat there for 10 days. The price just blasted through and is now trading around $425.

Yes very nice, back through £300, let's hope it can build from here?

I don't think it will be enough to move the needle, the S7 has been on the market too long now for that to happen.  Plus everything they are selling is already running so it will have a net 0 effect on network hash power.

It is a nice sign not the 450 I keep hoping for.   But it is something positive which is good.  I wonder how much of it is due to people buying BTC to buy S7's personally.  I might be giving them to much credit, but the new coupon price was a little surprising to me.

with 609 blocks to go we have 1406 made and 1404 is the norm  maybe we hit that magic 0

[RichBC]

my guess is the storm hits in the april 15 to april 30 jump

this jump ends say april 1  say +1%

next one after that ends april 15 say -1%


but april 15 to april 30     + 5% to + 10%

Antpool was @ 300PH/s around 10 days ago and now they are mining with 342+ PH/s. Those 40+ PH/s are +2.5% of the network...  and its only one pool

And there are new ~30PH pools popping up in China all the time, it's scary how fast they toss up farms over there.  I'm really hoping the halving makes big farms not cost efficient to run and we start seeing chunks of 30-40PH drop off the network instead of add to it.

I see a sharp rise  from april 15 to july 15  then the ½ an a big drop.

this should be a lot of fun  to watch

A big thing is once we hit next gen to.  Once we hit it we likely will see a skyrocket on difficulty and likely they  will fill up internal farms of the lucky one that hit's it first before selling to public. 

Bitmain is either pushing to make another batch or they are clearing shelves with new coupon price.  I personally hope it's just another batch as I would enjoy some extra time mining current gen before next gen. 

Your right that the next month will be something intersting to watch for sure.
