So we pushed up a little bit Yesterday with +11.81% and 161 Blocks. Today Period to Date we are at +5.6%.

The coin peaked at $720 Yesterday, closed at $705 and had pulled back a little this Morning to just under $700. Amazing that 2 Days ago we closed at $675 and only 4 Days ago we were at $579.

Crazy that the difficulty isnt going up when the price went up 50%. Maybe everybody is busy mining ETH instead.

I'm out of town so I can't ask our cats this time. I'm on my own.

[mocacinno]

Probably due to a large amount of people selling (can't even call dumping at this point) their bitcoins, because only a month ago it was near 300$. Still, it looks like old miners are being turned on, because shortly before and after the price rose, we saw a small peak of hashrate. This'll probably be normal throughout the days before the halving, then we'll see a huge drop of hashrate and difficulty as old miners become turned off, and because there's just a higher ratio of old miner hashrate than s9 hashrate, at least as of now. Later past the halving,  we'll probably see a return of hashrate as Bitmain's S9's get turned on, but it'll be a slow climb.
That said, I think hashrate will cap or keep a slow climb, so +2.74 = leowonderful is my guess.

[vapourminer]

my pick is my usual 5.5% please

vapourminer=5.5%

sell 20% of your coin now! 

 hodl the rest

Taking profits on btc is very difficult. The method above  or something like it allows for you to be partly correct no matter what happens.

It makes it impossible to be fully wrong.  being fully wrong when you can avoid it must never be allowed to happen.

yup my strategy is close to that; sell some, hodl most. i have profited well even with high electric cost.

after all, BTC is only worth what you sell it for at the time, not what it used to be or might be.

EDIT: corrected my username.. DOH!

[albertamining]

good luck all

Picks are open.


-1.2 = philipma1957  If I win I will roll it over.
0.0 = adaseb
+2.2 = Valkir
+2.7 = leowonderful    I changed you to 2.7  as 2.74 is not a legal pick
+3.2 = mocacinno
+3.5 = slastar
+3.9 = blindminer
+4.2 = Erumara
+4.8 = LinDin99
+5.0 = ezeminer
+5.1 = Amph    I changed you to 5.1 as 5.0 was taken
+5.2 = VRobb
+5.5 = Veves1
+5.5 = vapourminer I changed you to 5.6 as 5.5 was taken
+5.8 = albertamining
+6.3 = PPOC
+8.3 = edonkey


Note  I made 3 changes:

   leowonderful  2.7 not 2.74   this change is proper format and gives him his pick and more
   Amph            5.1 not 5.0     too late so I assigned the closest number
   vapourminer  5.6 not 5.5     too late so I assigned the closest number


Those three numbers are there to stay  as I had a few people  try to be tricky a while back.

Calm before the S9 storm, 1st batch online within a few days and then 2nd batch shortly after. Also Bitmain will be putting them online as soon as off assembly line. So I think its a little like when S7 first started shipping, the 2 months after release we shot up 50%
