We stop picks at 716blocks

 so about 7 to 11 hours from now

It is very interesting to see the effects of ETH and XMR gpu mining due to the current  bitmaintech monopoly   of the R4 and S-9.

Seems to me people are mining ETH and XMR at much lower power cost and converting to BTC  thus doing a few things:

1) boosting the demand for BTC
2) raising the price of BTC
3) keep the mining difficulty of BTC a little better then one hoped for.

Could be this trend helps me three  ways

one)    I mine all three coins  price stays higher on all three.
two)    Difficulty stays a little lower for all three coins since resources of mining get divided.
three)  Gear prices stay higher and since I have s-9's and gpu pc's it helps

I would love slow upwards drift in price for all three coins from now till april.

Too late bro.

[in2tactics]

Difficulty projections are increasing. Last I saw was 3.5% on nextdifficulty.com and it looks to be possibly increasing beyond that.

[NeuroticFish]

Difficulty projections are increasing. Last I saw was 3.5% on nextdifficulty.com and it looks to be possibly increasing beyond that.

Of course they are increasing. The price has been spiked. If it remains like that the only ones with a chance to win are the ones in the +5 range.
bitcoinwisdom is uncertain for now, but I expect it to show a rise in the hashrate soon.
Let's see how long it lasts...
