+1.1 = Lituation

-0.9 = Last of the V8s

thx for this

+1.8 = pogress

I dont think batch 1 of S9 sold so many units, so such huge increase in difficulty should not be next difficulty period

I have a feeling that the difficulty is low now not to scare off any sales of S9. Once they sell a few thousand units, they will turn on the hashpower and difficulty will jump +20%

+1.9 = NeuroticFish

Thank you


BTW, this is the most interesting lottery I've ever played on, even considering the ones I payed for.
And it's 100% fair.
Big thank you for the idea and for the prizes you pay from your own pocket.

What a coincidence I chose [winning number here] as well!


or maybe I should pick

-0.7 = ezeminer

Very funny

My pick should be [insert winning pick here], I can't believe you missed it!

note to self to edit post later so no one notices

+1.5 = Biodom

Thanks

Bitwisdom is heading up some:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    199,312,067,531
Estimated Next Difficulty:    198,367,788,490 (-0.47%)
Adjust time:    After 892 Blocks, About 6.4 days
Hashrate(?):    1,373,429,219 GH/s

Value wise coinbase is around 534, so still holding in 530's which is nice to see.  I keep hoping we see another surge in price.  It sure is fun to watch when it does happen.

+0.8 = zebedee

Thanks

Look for batch 2 in a few days...

I see no reason why the S9 would be any different than any other Bitmain release. As soon as any new miner is released, the value clock on the hardware starts ticking down. They need to move as many units as they can as fast as they can. The upcoming halving and potential competition from BW (if they ever release anything to the public) could accelerate driving down the S9 price.

It's interesting how people theorize about the big player's strategies, including price/difficulty manipulation, intentional hardware delays, etc. But I think the situation is simpler than that. Hardware manufacturers need to mine early and ship quickly. Any other strategy is risky. You can't be sure that any manipulation attempt will work, and you can't know when a competitor might strike (although I acknowledge that Bitmain has no real competition now, except for maybe BW).

Of course some of this is wishful thinking on my part. I can't bring myself to pay the price Bitmain wants for the S9. But as it comes down, I'll be tempted, as well as others who are currently sitting on the fence.


We may get lucky this period, but when the S9s really start pumping out, it will be as bad or worse than the increases we saw just after the S7.

The power that Bitmain has over the mining market is so irritating. I really hope that some competition materializes...

+2.2 = Valkir

Hashrate mostly under current difficulty, but there is always possibility of new hash to be added before the retarget occurs, thats why I predict around 0 or + increase
