only 4 hours later and the new estimate is
3,151,234 @ 11.45PM UTC 15/12
3,151,234 @ 11.45PM UTC 15/12
new estimate 3,160,030.... and we're up to 13.50ish
I'd be betting 90-95% of that is Bitcoin Laundry and Blockchain.info Laundry
You mean SatoshiDice?

I don't know about that link. I would use Bitcoin Watch instead. Right now the future difficulty is still trending downward: 3,280,731.
It's not tanking, but from what happened last year, this isn't surprising. Miners are slow to throw in the towel.
Bookmarked! Thank you and nice to see the difficulty going down some.
Whoah wtf? 3.9 million BTC sent in last 24 hours?!?!?!?! That's pretty healthy.
Wonder how long this slide will continue, before the new FPGAs and ASICs start to outweigh the leaving GPU miners.
Miners are slow to throw in the towel.
Ain't that the truth

Maybe we need a Block difficulty watch thread...
Done. Thread renamed. I'll adjust my first post to include a few more details soon

Certainly isn't tanking.

That link returns: 3405980.70883142 for me.
Current difficulty 3,438,909
Next difficulty (estimate): 3,372,281
Starting to go down faster!

Difficulty is going to lower definatly by the looks of the graph and the estimate.
I reckon people are seeing the spreadsheets and earnings estimates, and have decided to call it quits.

It's an average over the whole 2016 blocks, and it was higher over the first part (especially right before the halving). Give it a few more days and it will probably end up slightly lower.
Checkout the green (3 day estimate) drop! Biggest drop all year!
The difficulty estimate is still...
3,438,909
Next difficulty (estimate): 3,461,345
...higher?

I wouldn't be surprised if we see total network hashrate dip below 20 TH in the next month or two (assuming ASIC's aren't in the mix). I for one have pulled the plug on my miners. Even with the hardware long payed off and a decent power rate of .10 / Kwh, I'm paying $9 in power costs to make $10 in BTC. Just not worth the effort/aggravation. I think in the next week or two, more people will see that and only folks will really low power rates or FPGA's are going to stick it out.
?
The drop we are seeing is starting to look more significant than the variance over the last 3 months: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin-10k.png We need 2-3 more days of data to be sure.
Hey, did you ever get ahold of that special hashing algorithm you were going on about all those months ago?
