I am thinking the guys above are closest
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty (+8.19%)
we have 209 blocks left and we are pushing for over 160 today based on
https://blockchain.info/blocks
122 blocks in 17 hours 20 minutes rather then 104 so 18 over for the day which is a 160-165 pace.
so we are drifting towards 9 not 8
coinbase is at 377
Were approaching my short term hope. I'm hoping within a few months (hopefully much sooner) we see BTC over 400. I kinda like the slow and steady moving it makes me feel like the floor wont just drop. But I know it still could.
This was a interesting one I though for sure we were over 10. But looks like a little better, I'm still not sure if I will consider close to 8 a win. I want to see next period go to even less... hopefully.
