Topic: Diff thread Apr 28 to May 12? picks are closed!!.... prize = 0.30 btc - page 8. (Read 6621 times)

I think the big players are waiting for the halving to turn their new-generation hashers on.  If they'd do it right now, they would have an effect on the difficulty and they don't want that right now (well they did a few weeks ago when we saw 20% increase).  They are ready for the halving.  And when it comes...

...all the small hashers will turn off their gear.

But the big ones will turn on their new machines.  Difficulty would double, but since the small ones turn the switch off, the difficulty should be ok for them.  And they won't lose that much in the halving.  They are ready.

Meanwhile, they control the difficulty (by turning on and off machines; it's a game: "Hey let's try to get the diff to EXACTLY 0.00% this time!"), of course by colluding between the big ones in China.

I think once in the period a little ways bitwisdom is fun to watch, although it can be off compared to real number.  It's speculation... which can be not so great.  To recap last week we got a pretty good change for miners - Apr 28 2016    178,659,257,773    -0.01%    1,278,892,782 GH/s

Coin value raised a decent amoung and fell to a little under 450... which is still good.  I hope to see this change and some more good things to continue.  Either way will be fun to watch with another roll-over as I do enjoy them as it seems to bring more people out.

I based my opinion on the hashrate of the network, never on the estimate of bitcoinwisdom.

I was guessing a full hashrate recovery as soon as the Diff was done but it's not the case. We are still at 1,199,768,466 GH/s as I type.

So the hashrate is still off as I speak. I don't know what to think anymore

I was ready for "back to the sky" movement.
