Phil, have you determined if there is a correlation with the weather and the hash rate/solved blocks, or is it still speculation?
Sun went down and hash went up. so I have to think part of the shifts are due to heat issues with the bifury plant

Looking good today. No way will today end up a +% day. Maybe its the weather in Georgia
I think there will be a small positive Today, around +3%

Well the Hash rate is still well down, unless someone powers up some Miners soon we are on a negative day. 
I think we could see as few as 130 Blocks.

Edit I may have scuppered things, blocks have just started piling in...... F2Pool is on fire, 6 Blocks in 15 Minutes...

I think we will end up with a high change compared to our lucky months again. My hope is it is smaller then last. If we get smaller each difficulty period on change... that is a little win.
Bitwisdom still has us kind high:
Bitcoin Difficulty: 103,880,340,815
Estimated Next Difficulty: 111,923,700,649 (+7.74%)
Adjust time: After 1065 Blocks, About 7.2 days
Hashrate(?): 809,776,347 GH/s

So weather got warmer in Tbilisi Georgia bitfury's farm location and blocks dropped off. for bitfury.
now it is 10 am is New Jersey which is about 7 pm Tbilisi So cooling down should happen as it gets dark. Thus blocks should pick up about now.
Remember to hide the mining bitfury could point at f2pool or antpool , but I think that the next 10-15 hours blocks will pick up pace.

Difficulty rise is slowing down. Block generation time is over the average.

Seem like single digit % this round is possible, but it feel pretty conservative when you consider what could come online at any moment.

@ Mikestang what impresses me is how much can be turned up or down. those 202 block days followed by 140 block days are amazing.
not sure about bitfury turning it off. but we did 158 today and if they run the gear at ⅔ speed because it got warmer we should be closer to 144.
All a guess or a spec. but lets see what happens.

We'll see how the rest of the week performs. Today ended up being about +7.7% so much better than yesterdays +20%
+7.5% = Mikestang
It still boggles my mind how much the network grows each adjustment. Trying to imagine the sheer quantity of gear that is turning on around the world it's amazing.

for the weather angle on bitfury. see screen shot of wunderground:
So if the overheating heating angle is true for bitfury based on this tomorrow we should be under 144 blocks
So according to the weather forecast Bitfury's gear will be powered down since it will be +47F everyday for the next 5 days?

I won't do mining again, difficulty increase is hurting home-miners very bad.

I dont know about that. The BTC price also doubled, so about the same income as i had few months ago. All in all, not bad. S1's are still profitable + i need the heat anyways.
For most S1's are not profitable you are really lucky for your free electricity. I would spend more on usage then it would make sadly. But that is great for you.
We had a long time of low difficulty we might have even got spoiled with it. Now were seeing difficulty changes. Either price goes up... or some last gen gear will be sold most likely after winter. I foresee a lot of S5, SP20, Avalon 4.1, etc being sold either a little before summer or right into summer. But that is a lot of time... if price goes up it might remain profitable for longer. Just hard to speculate it.
