I am going to be very surprised if we don't get a positive here. I can't see a pattern in past 3... just does not make sense:

Feb 07 2016 144,116,447,847 20.06% 1,031,625,717 GH/s
Huge jumps... price is down. Will be another interesting week.

Looks like someone flipped a switch, network hash rate took a huge spike up after the negative adjustment. Gee, could that be on purpose?
I have often wondered if changes at Big Farms would in any way be structured round difficulty changes? A thought that has struck me is that if you were making significant changes that might disrupt Mining then you would not do them in the last few Days of a Period when the rewards were higher but wait till the early Days of the new Period?
Except in this case where the rewards will be higher in the New period, so perhaps you would hold off adding new Hash that would make the Difficulty change less advantageous?

Absolutely correct. 13 to 14 days of a -3.1 adjustment
Which if you mined like mad a day ago would have been 13 to 14 days with a +1 adjustment.
This is hash rate manipulation to the max. Not good for the industry.
Also notice price drop to 388 hmmm same guy dumping the new coins to pay for the new gear.
Strip mining at its best.
Spoke soon it has dialed back a bit.

I have 0.6 btc left so six more jumps and funds empty.
I think I will go up to the ½ ing so I may add the needed funding to reach it.
Just setting up-- back link to last diff thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/diff-thread-feb-19-to-mar-3-picks-are-closed-prize-02-btc-1369886
we had a winner so we start at 0.10 btc
I am allowing anyone that Joined the site before Jan 1 , 2016 and has 30 posts to play.
I have decided to allow rollovers to just keep going.
I have 0.6 btc left in prize money which means we go on for at least 12 weeks.
That is around May 20- June 1. I may add more prize money so we reach the ½ ing
Rules.
1) You joined at least last year 2015 and have 30 posts or more.
2) Since it is free and no cost to you I may disqualify you if I think you are trying to do multiple entries.
3) I will let these roll over so prizes could reach more then 0.2 as high as 0.6 if we have many misses
4) picks are in the format below
so +1.0 = yourforumname is the way to write your pick and that gives you +1.00 to +1.09 percent as your range
this is last contest
-5.8 = edonkey
-4.1 = blindminer
-3.8 = Chris_Sabian
-3.6 = Kexkey
-3.4 = HerbPean
-3.1 = tertius993------------------- the winner----- Waiting for his btc addy to pay him the 0.20 btc
