Devs, btw have you guys already tested out the PoS piece, right? Would be awful to fork in 4 weeks when it doesn't work.

Sooo... halving will happen in the next half an our? Right? Let's see the impact on price. Up to behind 10 sats or down to 4 sats. Interesting moment..

[ghibly79]

Do we recon the price will go back down over the next day or two? I want to buy some but I'm curious about whether I should wait or not

If it was a sure thing don't you think everybody would buy them? It can go every way but it looks promising.
I'm wondering what it will do when multipools try to rape it. Oh well within 4 weeks the raping will end for sure.

with 1 block retargeting, the difficulty will go sky high

and what will that do to the price?

It's already done, it doubled in the last 24 hours - nice!

does the price typically go up after a retarget? or down?

Down... coin gets hype over halving, price goes up pre-emptively along with hash rate due to drawing miners in from the prospect of high reward, reward halves, miners leave dropping hash rate and everyone dumps... that's the norm on an established coin anyway, this is a little different because its young and will see several halving's in rapid succession so hard to say what will happen here

It also has the PoS going for it which will hopefully alleviate the dumping.

Not mandatory: if many miners leave, diff will go down and the coin will be profitable again considering the price increase. Unpredictable which tendency will win, even not considering the PoS thing.

T MINUS 6 MINUTES AND COUNTING

[Rubberduckie]

Someone just bought nearly 5 BTC worth of mint @ 0.00000008 in one hit  

[sakkosekk]

Couldn't mine fast enough so just bought another 2.5 mil.

I got 400K and no BTC to get more

[Invisible Hands]

I don't think it halved yet...  maybe block 20000?

[frostgrave]

Half at block 20160 if I do the maths right.

[hgrp007]

Continue to rise Up.......

[flounderella]

Maybe there's a bug in the code and it will never halve? :p

[hellscabane]

Maybe there's a bug in the code and it will never halve? :p

Maybe they're gonna do hard forks each week?

[That would be so fail...]

[Invisible Hands]

block 19989
480,045.60   

480,045.60   > 450,000

therefore no halving yet, amirite?

I'm still seeing full block rewards

[ScroogeD]

Block 20000 for halving would make sense.

Block 20000 for halving would make sense.

Still mining away until the full block rewards last. Even kicked off cpu miners on my laptops and desktop

How did you figure out this wizardry?

[frostgrave]

Half at block 20160 if I do the maths right.

If block half everyweek, 30 second per block, each week has 7days * 24 hours * 3600 seconds.
604800 seconds in a week, which is 20160 blocks.

Edit: reward will half in less than an hour/55++ minutes.

[ScroogeD]

So when the first block reward < 100000 is mined, we can be sure, it has been halved.

Sounds good to me
