A diff contest picks are closed. 1.5 ltc prize with a sidehack compac

[leowonderful]

+3.4

As always I don't think I'll hit it or get close, but it's always fun to put a spin in the mining game

Also, as the prize is LTC including a Compac, would you consider doing the game but with LTC diff? I know it's more variable than Bitcoin's but it seems more fitting for the current rewards.

Actually the rules of bitcointalk do not allow contests - giveaways. To promote alt coins .

So I can't run a ltc diff contest.

More reasons to follow on your questions .

I had someone give me a few ltc coins as prize money if I ran this.  Since it was a btc picking contest I added the compac because it mines btc.








We are open for picks!

That's too bad, I hope they might change the rules a bit so we could do it with LTC still a great little game going on, for the rewards and fun I can't complain. Even though diff looks a little negative right now I figure we might still turn out slightly positive for this difficulty period.

[philipma1957]

picks are ending very soon  we are at 521

picks end at 516


and we see if there is a winner in about 3 ¾ days  when we reach the new jump.

all picks are done good luck!

[QuintLeo]

I love the trend on the blue line on bitcoinwisdom right now......

 9-)

[philipma1957]

A neg jump would be nice.

Maybe I hit it and we carry over to 2 ltc.

[alh]

While I got too crushed by my regular job to participate, I had been figuring that it was going to be a negative jump. The current figures continue to support that, though it might be even more negative than I was thinking. This would be the 1st difficulty decrease for 2017.

he is close I will drop my r4 down a notch!

I dropped it from  462 to 458!

[QuintLeo]

And the final result was -0.43 per bitcoinwisdom.

 I'm really supprised at the drop, though I suppose summer heat and dying miners might account for it.

[vh]

Looks like it may already be starting to move back up.   I wonder if the summer heat can keep it at bay for another cycle.

[leowonderful]

Glad I live in a place where it's not too hot for mining, or I just have resilient S7s. Winter will likely bring about another large rise in difficulty, but I hope that won't happen.

[fr4nkthetank]

Again so close yet so far hahaha

[QuintLeo]

Looks like it may already be starting to move back up.   I wonder if the summer heat can keep it at bay for another cycle.

 Only if Bitmain is out of chips at the start of the cycle - AND nobody else is shipping product.
