diff is catching up to price coinbase is about 2600

[TheYankeesWin!]

Coins are at 2868  on coinbase.  I think difficulty will raise more the 10% and coins will crack 3000 this jump!

[philipma1957]

@TheYankeesWin   ya 3000 for coin price.  would be nice.

So the guessing starts in about 19 hours? That's 1:45 AM Pacific time tomorrow.

I'll be asleep (unless the cats wake us up).

Looks like our European friends will be the first to guess.

[TheYankeesWin!]

Getting closer!

[leowonderful]

+15
Always happy to compete in these contests, I've been close but always not close enough always fun and makes difficulty more fun for me though!

[vh]

I'll join in the fun and guestimate at the bitcoin reward value slot.

+12.5 = vh

[edonkey]

I asked Jack (our youngest cat) for his guess:

+7.6 = eDonkey (Jack)

I'm taking a bit of a risk here because Jack has never successfully guessed the difficulty before. But he seemed pretty excited when I told him he'd get fishy treats if he wins.
