Locking this up!

Bitcoinwisdom is famous for overshoot estimates at the start of each period. This will settle down with more incoming blocks.

Looks like its settled ended just under 5% this round the predicted variance for the next round is surprisingly high though.

For sure we will hit that diff, then the halving and this will be fun just wait and see  

So about 5% huh? I really hope we don't keep that pace, or do wish that the BTC price keep up.

Then again i should knock on wood, its not like its double digit stuff...

*Knock on wood*

It does look like their will be a carry over it's been a while since that happened and predictions will need to move higher the next time around.
Not too many blocks left now just six hours to go this round.

My sincere apologies, I made the following prediction without knocking on wood, without spitting over my left shoulder, without sacrificing a goat, etc. Messed it up thoroughly.

I am beginning to think you are the rainman of difficulty .  Thank you for all the time you spend in these threads.  I truly enjoy watching it through the week.

Hopefully next period is less.  Guess we will see.

8 - 22 - 2015    162     +18
8-  23 - 2015    138     -   6         so + 12 blocks    for sat and sun  
8-  24 - 2015    156     + 12         + 24 blocks for  3 days  
8-  25 - 2015    133     -  11          + 13 blocks for 4 days.
8-  26 - 2015    160     + 16          +29

9-    2 - 2015    154     +10           +91
9-    3 - 2015    149      + 5           +96

we have made 1972 blocks  'norm' = 1876

I get close to +5.12%

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty (+5.20%)  very close to my current number


looks like 5+ is in the cards.  Looks really hard to drop to 4.50%  so I think we are getting the carry over

44 blocks to go! So  here is to a 1 hour block or 2 or 3 or so.

next to impossible  long sustained prices needed for it to go above 100

Not unless BTC hits $500+ I think.

100 billion diff, here we come!

But seriously, will we hit 100G before the halving next year?  It's going to be fun to watch what happens as that draws nearer.

As do I, those increases were scary buggers for mining as your gear was out dated in a few months at times at least it was off-set by prices though if they were going up so you could estimate ROI on a mining calculator.
That said it looks like some new hash is coming on and miners will be upgrading their units to S7's in a month or so perhaps their is also some unit testing before shipping as this blip needs to be accounted for somewhere.

asic builders have huge power in what the total ph is to be.

If I put bit fury , bitmaintech , KNC, avalon,  sfards,  and the other chinese company made the dragons all in one room and forced them to build gear they could 2x the network by jan 1.  easy no questions asked.

since they have all decide to mine they are limiting hash power to others and thus slowing btc growth in general.

SO after doing this since last NOV.  maybe they will flip the switch and put gear out for a while.

I don't think anyone did.  I am afraid of another one next week to.   I don't know what will happen.

But from picks this week I believe highest was: +4.26% to +4.50% .  So we all guessed lower, didnt see this.  Was eye opening though.

I definitely didn't expect this period to go up the entire time!

"Next difficulty retarget occurs at block 372959.0 (eta 20.2 hrs): 59154798343.6 / +9.0% [est.]"

Is this the new norm?

I can recall those day's very well, but does not mean I want go back to it.   I think at this point 20-30 are not going to happen as total hashrate has raised so much.

I hope we don't get to 7.   But I am really starting to think we have someone turning on some gear 6+ is a lot of hash.

Recalls the days of 20-30% increases being the norm but after all this time were starting to see something adorable aww look at it trying to get to 7% .
