New diff thread Feb 9 to Feb ? this has a promo for best guess.

[philipma1957]

http://btc.blockr.io/charts  

gives 1 day totals in fact bitcoincharts uses them as a source



Feb 9 --- 162 but a lot of this went to last jump


feb 10---142
feb 11---159
feb 12---124
feb 13---144
feb 14---160-----------------------this is pretty high but this day we had the nice price rally
feb 15---142
feb 16---158
feb 17---149
feb 18---161
feb 19---168-----------------------this is 16.67% higher then the 144 normal
feb 20---158


11 x 144 = 1584   actual is 1665  this is  about  5.11 %    but does not include some blocks made on feb 9th and on feb 20th I will bump the 5.11% real time to 5.19%  with 215 blocks left.


right now http://www.bitcoincharts.com/  is at (+4.51%)   my guess is they are too low.

Bitcoincharts is pushing a   (+5.39% )   jump, but  If I was to pick from the 8 above I would pick galdur as the favorite.

We are certainly not going to have a rollover this time.

[Kexkey]

Ah, Estimated Next Difficulty:   46,801,837,830 (+5.28%) ATM  Grin

Estimated next difficulty change in 6.8 hours : +4.91%

:-)

I wonder what is the max possible/plausible change (positive or negative) within a 7 hour range.

Estimated next difficulty change in 6.8 hours : +4.91%

:-)

I wonder what is the max possible/plausible change (positive or negative) within a 7 hour range.

As of when there were 45 blocks to go, there was 1971 blocks found since the last difficulty change. As of 1971 blocks, it should have been ~328.5 hours since the last difficulty change but instead it was roughly 312.37 hours. If the network were to find 45 blocks in the next 38 minutes (so 2016 blocks were to be  found in 313 hours since the last difficulty change, then the difficulty would go up by a total of 6.84%, so it would go up by 1.93% of what it otherwise would have. This is the max possibility, if that many blocks were to be found very much faster then that then a good number of them would likely end up orphaned. 

[philipma1957]

my predication for the next jump is -1.11%

I like to get it in as early as i can.  if we do it by sections of   .25% each  I pick the section that includes -1.11%.

[galdur]

Well, for some reason BTC hasn´t seemed to be on the verge of the next collapse for a whopping month now so I suspect that diff. increase will be in the plus next term. Maybe similar to this one, five plus or minus.

[Madern]

My prediction +3.95

Edit : i already entered sorry

I would think

Korbman +5.30%

galdur +5.28%

(+5.10%)

Kexkey +4.77%



galdur is looking good.

 Kexkey  could win with a few long blocks.


http://www.bitcoincharts.com/     is saying it will be 4.99%  so do not rule out Kexkey

[judypug1956]

 bitcoinwisdom is shifting lower   now 4.99%    !

[philipma1957]

  with under 10 blocks to go


 galdur +5.28%

(+4.99%)

Kexkey +4.77%


very close   Kexkey  is now closer

[philipma1957]

and bang a quick block brings back to 5.08%   what a contest!

8 blocks left!

galdur has regained his edge!

Ah, excitement at the finish line. Excellent 

[philipma1957]

Ah, excitement at the finish line. Excellent  

well it has been 15 minutes since the last block this means kexkey will tighten up the race.  the block has been made waiting for new diff.  7 blocks left lets see what the 15 minute block did to the adjustment.


 that 16-17 minute block  moves us to 5.05%

galdur  5.28%

5.05 %


kexkey  4.77%

really close 7 more blocks.

0.05% lead for galdur

this block is just past 11 minutes block came in so with 6 blocks to go the diff stands at

5.09%  galdur is off by .19%  and kexkey is off by .32%

really tight.  korbman  predicts 5.30% and is off by only .21%  but diff must go past 5.29% to allow him to win.  a dead heat could happen with a few faster blocks if diff goes to 5.29% it is a deadheat.


Down to 5 blocks we are at a diff of 5.10%     galdur is off by .18%  kexkey is off by .32%   korbman is off by .20%  but needs 5 really fast blocks since diff need to get to 5.29 for him to tie.



some very   quick blocks just popped.
