I end up finding this situation funny. We are +10% above the target pace. And then we have blocks taking half an hour to be mined.

Probabilities and luck are always paying games with human minds!
I'm watching the races right now and it's the 8th favorite under 5/4 so 2.25 odds to get trashed in a row, I almost feel tempted to put a bet on the last horse of the day without even knowing his time form because we must have at least one winning, right, after so many loses!
Same with blocks, if you're paying the minimum fee but you're in a hurry get ready, for sure the next block will be half an hour late!

121% in a single epoch is against physics and economics, noway on earth it's going to keep the pace, we will end up with a small increase of 2-3% IMO.
we all knew 121% was out of discussion but..
Latest Block: 829550 (21 minutes ago)
Current Pace: 110.6209% (975 / 881.39 expected, 93.61 ahead)
Next Retarget (earliest): February 15, 2024 at 9:19 AM (in 6d 12h 50m 31s)
10% is still madness ?
I expected it to drop like a stone in the next few days but seems not slowing that much down, in the last 24 hours we had 148, 24 hour before 159 blocks, I know S21 are being put online everywhere but are they really that many?
@stompix, the halving is going to be brutal regardless,
I have the luxury of not caring that much anymore, even if I start losing money the growth has made up for it , I'm in a "bring it on, show me the worse" mode.
But the rest, I don't ant to be a miner with 100+ asics on more than 6 cents two months from now!
With one exception, if it's not my money but investors in that gear, then I couldn't care less also!
