124 blocks made in 18.25 hours 110 is normal pace so we are having a very strong finish
We have 47 blocks left

I agree, I think the days of "stable/flat difficulty" are pretty much over. We might get a small decrease ithere is some kind of unexpected event, of if the price of BTC crashes to less than $200 and stay there for a week or more. There is just too much new hardware in the works to keep the lid on hashrate through the rest of the year.
I have no idea about 2016, as the next halving will start to loom ever larger then.

I think were going up up up to the end of this one. Almost 4.00% to close
Looking like we will be at block 2016 around 11 pm friday eastern standard time.

94 blocks today in 14.5 hours 87 is normal so we are finishing on an up note
we may go to +2.50% or even +2.75%
the contestants below all have a decent shot:
+2.01% to +2.25% Amph

+2.51% to +2.75% Kexkey

+3.01% to +3.25% wpt1wpt1
+3.26% to +3.50% notlist3d
+3.51% to +3.75% zebedee
I don't think we can go higher then +3.75% even with a mad finish.

I think my +1.76% to +2.00% is looking pretty good. I foresee a small downturn here at the end of this difficulty adjustment.

For what it's worth I put it in meta about iTop ad, I hope they can move to a signature vs the click able ad that has been invading Bitmain threads. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1158270.new#new *Edit now that nasty logo is gone for good . Thanks suchmoon for providing exact rules broken.
And on btc price I sure hope it goes up in next month. It shows how BTC is still early in it's adoption when one site can bring down the price this much. And also XT talk I think has some of the decline in price. But that flash crash was just crazy, wish they would have had more in place to stop something like that from happening.

And the first four days for this diff adjustment pre China explosion.
Aug 8 2015 163 +19 but about +10 since part was last diff
Aug 9 2015 133 -11 so -1
Aug 10 2015 168 +24 So +23
Aug 11 2015 170 +26 means we are + 49
And the 9 days after the China explosion.
Aug 12 2015 122 -22
Aug 13 2015 151 +7
Aug 14 2015 137 -7
Aug 15 2015 136 -8
Aug 16 2015 141 -3 -33 after the explosion
Aug 17 2015 145 +1 -32 "
Aug 18 2015 140 -4 -36 "
Aug 19 2015 164 +20 -16 "
Aug 20 2015 144 0 -16 "
we are plus 36 blocks with 157 left
so we made 1859 instead of 1823 we are now plus 1.97%
maybe 1 day left maybe 1.1 or .9 days
looks to me to be plus 1.250% to 2.75% will be our winner

This is a little offtopic but I'm tired of seeing that iTop logo in so many posts. It should be in the signature not at top of each of their posts. I don't think we would get away with posting an add at start of each post. But again that is just me to.
It's not just you, I think it's in violation of #22 and/or #24:

With the new S7 coming this one may be negative but the next one will be huge!
We don't know if the S7 will be soon or not. Bitmain did announce the chip which I agree is big. What I cant figure out is why a company that normally is quiet on development spoke out with it before S7 was released.
As suchmoon pointed out, they did that with the S3. They announced the chip, then the S3 two weeks later.
History could repeat itself...
One question that is related is how did iTop beat Bitmain to posting it to forums? Did they release specs in China first and iTop took it to this board right away?
Was odd to see third party post it before bitmain.
I think iTop is not the typical third party reseller. But WTF do I know in this case absolutely nothing.
They are for sure in the game to grab attention. I wondered how they got that information. I still wonder if they got it from China being announced first and they posted quick or how they did it. I can't find if it was released before they posted the specs.

Difficulty is not horrible on bitwisdom:

Price is a different story around 232. I wish I could have gotten some of that under 200 flash crash BTC.
