Can't believe we're here already, the halving. Seems like we've been talking about it for so long. Oh, and last round was the closest I'd ever been, I was one guess spot away!

Will there be a mass switch off or will things just carry on as if nothing has happened?

I think the dramatic BTC price rise over the last 3 months has largely blunted the impact of the halving. We may not see a massive drop-off of of hash-rate that some folks are expecting.
I expect this will be more of a "gradual switch off" over time, unless there is a crash on BTC price.

Did you guys know that during the last halving, it was solved by a single GPU rig by an Radeon 5870 GPU. Later that GPU was bought by Chaang Noi who during the Bitcoin bubble of 2013 bought a Lamborghini with his Bitcoins.
Crazy Times.

Very interesting difficulty period, indeed. We going to see if massive switch off is happening before this contest picking period ends, but it would be much harder to predict the final difficulty change if such massive switch off really happens.

Well here we are one Day into the most interesting / hard to call Difficulty Periods we are going to see for some time. Things seem to be off to a normal start with Yesterday being +0.69% with 145 Blocks. Today we have a slow start, with Period to date Run Rate at -3.7%, but always takes a few day for things to settle, just about in time for the halving.....

Okay first off Generalt was the winner of last contest 50 usd in btc.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15471593
This will be the ½ ing Jump it will come at block 420000
Should be fun. We have been giving away BTC for more then 18 months at no cost to any player free entry.
With the ½ ing coming in under 670 blocks if really weird nutty shit happens I will come up with an adjustment to the game.
So fingers crossed good luck and have some fun.
Picks start at block 1116 and end at block 716 of each adjustment period.

Bitcoin Difficulty: 213,398,925,331
Estimated Next Difficulty: 222,258,479,409 (+4.15%)
Adjust time: After 2013 Blocks, About 13.6 days
Hashrate(?): 1,531,670,817 GH/s
Block Generation Time(?):
1 block: 9.7 minutes
3 blocks: 29.2 minutes
6 blocks: 58.4 minutes

Adjust time: After 2013 Blocks, About 13.6 days PICKS BEGIN AT 1116 we are at 2013
$50 a jump will Stay in place barring a crash in btc value to under 500 a coin. If coins drop under 500 I will award .1 btc a jump.
I need to do this do to coin price volatility.
When game began about 20 months ago coins were about 200 usd 0.10 btc was about 20 usd. we paid in .10 btc numbers. Our first donator to the game spent over 2.8 coins. I have been the sole payer for the last 4 months and have paid .9 coins so 3.7 coins have been awarded for free, nada, nothing no cost. I am still able to do this due to my signature fee. Which I put into payments here.
First rule is I decide all rules since it is a free chance to get some coin.
Second rule is you need to be a forum member since April 1st of 2016
Third rule is you need to have made 30 posts. I will read them and decide if you appear to be real.
Fourth rule is if I think you are double dipping your picks won't be allowed
Fifth rule is we open picks at 1116 and end picks at 716 just about 2.5 days to pick.
Sixth rule is this is for fun so I tend to allow off topic and don't delete very much.
Seventh rule is your pick should look like -1.2 = philipma1957 or +1.2 = philipma1957
Eight rule is if you pick a used pick I will assign a pick to you and you are stuck with the one I assign.
Ninth rule no pick changes
Tenth rule no pre picks via pm's
Eleven rule no late picks.
Anything I missed above feel free to mention.
