Not only that we are holding up above it currently. We are around 443 which is VERY nice to see just mentally as miners, to see some growth via value.  I don't want to get to positive to fast but we might have beaten 440 sale walls and here to stay.

Hopefully next up is 450 that is a big number in my eyes short term.  And that means it's midday in China and we did not drop, so no morning mass sells at 440.  I think China is a huge part of market at this point.

Trading @ $450 USD on Quadriga, CDN is holding just a little ahead, wheeeee

I have us in real time at 3%

[RichBC]

Good to see the price holding... Yesterday was the biggest Day yet with +14.58% & 165 Blocks. Could still be variance but I think we took a step up in Hash Rate. We have moved out of the nice +1% to +3% range and the Period Run Rate , 6 Hours in Today, is at +3.62% and looking like it will go higher.

The price will stay clearly over 400 from now on, people are holding, even buying, hoping for something big at halving.
Just somehow I expected the diff will not rise this much again....

Good luck everybody, price is rising so why not diff rise?

phil sorry for not paying attention *cough* oops

5.7 is good for me

[tertius993]

I'm going big this month

Im surprised the difficulty is probably going to rise higher again, but given the price increase it make sence.

Current bitwisdom:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    178,678,307,672
Estimated Next Difficulty:    188,249,679,692 (+5.36%)
Adjust time:    After 933 Blocks, About 6.3 days

So not bad if we are around 5, as aways I hope for 5 or under.  But hard to say with 6 day's to go.  Price is still above 440... so is looking promising there.  Currently around 443 so not bad to have a little gain.  Overall a decent difficulty period if all stays the same.

I'm hoping for something big at the halving, too, but I'm hoping for a big drop - probably the opposite of what most people want.  I want the price to tank down to the $100 range and I want difficulty to drop with it.  I would love it if the halving spelled the end to mega-mines by making them no longer cost efficient to run.

Even small percentage changes now have HUGE diff effects, like the 5% we're at right now sounds small but that would add almost 10G to the diff!

Not a great pick, but I don't know what is these days......

a big spike then a drop

Blocks   408327
Total BTC   15.458M
 
Difficulty   178678307672
Estimated   184709103201 in 921 blks  <   this translates to 184709/178678 - 1 = +3.37%   real time number
 
Network total   1311867.434 Thash/s
Blocks/hour   6.15 / 585 s

so with 921 blocks left to the adjustment    3.37 looks okay  but the chart shows a huge spike then drop.

 A big spike again and +7% or +8 % easy

[HerbPean]

We are back with a peak at 1350+ peta.

I was guessing we would not this one until the end of the diff
