[philipma1957]

i pick

-1.2 = philipma1957 if it hits I will roll it over.

[VRobb]

As always, phil, I hope you're right but I'll be a bit pessimistic:

+3.9 = VRobb

And if I hit I'll donate it back for you to do with as you see fit. Thanks again for keeping the game alive!

My wife is fostering kittens again. Hard to get their attention. But Jack, the most vocal of the three clearly said "4".

I hope he's wrong. I'd rather see it go flat or negative, although that seems unlikely.

[Biodom]

+3.1 = Biodom

If ETH STANDS fast. We may all end up mining it or a replacement GPU coin.

gonna be getting into cooler weather in the northeast usa, so ill likely build out another rig soonish. use my current freenas box and turn it into a miner as ill 1st build a proper freenas server with supermicro parts (ecc ram etc).

mining gpu stuff has the bonus of handmedown parts if you only have a few rigs and recycle parts into other systems.

glad you got some money back out of that loss, so to speak. as someone said, a buck would do, although just the chat and prediction stuff is enough.. i mean look what to people go through just for faucet money..

[LoyceV]

+1.2 = LoyceV

I've seen this thread before, but never really understood it.

Fifth rule is we open picks at 1116 and end picks at 716   just about 2.5 days to pick.

What does 1116 and 716 stand for? The number of blocks until the next difficulty change?
