https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty is at (+2.07%)

we made 1802 blocks and have 214  left.


This is about 1.4 days. .  


that 2.07%   is off  by 0.60% as  the real time number  of 1802 blocks made vs  1776 = +1.464%

So with the weekend over and a ton of s-7's turning up  we have had a 1.46% jump in 1 day.  so if we wail away and have a second 170 block day we could push 3% this jump.

Difficulty is still not looking to bad on bitwisdom:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    59,335,351,234
Estimated Next Difficulty:    60,756,105,068 (+2.39%)
Adjust time:    After 223 Blocks, About 1.5 days
Hashrate(?):    452,368,788 GH/s

So appear not a lot of S7 plugged in like I was afraid of.  Maybe we have till batch 2 and 3 before another 5 jump hopefully.

Price is hanging around 237.  So not bad, hopefully we have a nice slow increase.

If I am reading things right, we might also get a brief respite for the 1st half of the next adjustment. Supposedly Bitmain will be on holiday Oct 1 through Oct 8th. While I expect stuff that is shipped will arrive, there should be a 1 week hiatus on S7 production. I have to beleive that will manifest itself in some positive way (e.g. smaller difficulty increase).

Sound more likely to me that the S7 production is outsourced and they already have 2 whole batches on the way. During the next 2 weeks its Batch 1 that will hit doors, then after that it will be Batch 2 and 3. I don't see much respite here.

The Batch 1 already being in the mail won't pause for a holiday =/

Looks like Bitmain purchased BTC.com from ole homero lol..

Spooky...

At least they put it to good use. But I think their diff estimate is even worse than BitcoinWisdom's:

https://chain.btc.com/en/stats/diff

(+4.90%) 62.24 G

Unless they know something we don't, e.g. how many S7++ they are going to deploy today and tomorrow LOL


I would agree chances of S7's in mail and making this jump is slim chance.  I do think we will see a jump from orders on S7's just not to that extent.

Sadly BTC around 238 never did hit over 240 last night, which I was hoping for.

seen this posted the other day.. Looks like Bitmain purchased BTC.com from ole homero lol..  Anyway  it looks like f2pool got a huge push in hash last few days.. https://chain.btc.com/en/stats/pool?pool_mode=day3  

Lost of nice stats and graphs on this site.Smiley


edit:  chain.so shows us at 511.43 PH/s.. could just be another spike of variance like it was a week back or so.

1 block every 10 mins is 6 blocks an hour* is 144 a day,

This may be a horribly stupid question but how do you get the 144 number that it should have been?   It seems like it would change which each difficulty change.

*6 blocks an hour x 24 hours a day is 144...

The expected blocks solved per day is irrespective of difficulty, it's what you would expect if a block was solved every 10 minutes exactly.

and cakir explained the other part already.  Smiley

So I really like that if we could get under 2 that would be amazing.  But likely there are still enough batch 1 S7's being delivered we likely will be over 2.

Price around 238.  It teased us and got under a dollar away from 240 but never did get to it.

so far today in 22 hours and 20 min which should be 134 blocks

we made 376576 - 376445 =  132 blocks   not that bad



https://blockchain.info/blocks

I always love your updates thank you for doing them.  I have wondered how do you get the number we should be at?   Is it a website your going to or are you doing some math by hand?  

1 block every 10 mins is 6 blocks an hour is 144 a day, so start at midnight being 0 blocks for the day and depending what time of day it is you can easily figure out how many blocks "should have been" solved already.  At least I'm guessing that's how he does it.

I really enjoy this thread and the updates, too.  Watching the diff is just part of the fun of bitcoin.  /popcorn

This may be a horribly stupid question but how do you get the 144 number that it should have been?   It seems like it would change which each difficulty change.  I'm not clicking on how you get the "should be" number.

And thank you for taking time to help me understand it,  I'm just wanting to be able to calculate it myself.
For 24 hours @Mikestang gave the calculation. 10 minutes is average of the block time between blocks.

Check the date of block 376445; it's 2015-09-28 00:03:37 (First block of the day)
https://blockchain.info/block/00000000000000000c91485e60e4bbf4143c7993c7d53c6e36493dde7b1b99ca

Check the date of block 376576; it's 2015-09-28 22:19:20 (Last block at the given time)
https://blockchain.info/block/00000000000000000b304a89e75f6174f2aeb551fee3338416f020e6fff9e096

Approximately 22 hours and 20 minutes passed between those blocks.

Now; Multiply the hours by 6 and divide the minutes by 10 then calculate the sum: 22*6 + 20/10 = 134 blocks should be found. (That's average, proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto)

But; Check the block count by calculating the difference between block heights: 376576 - 376445 =  132

That shows 2 blocks away from the average.


Wow thank you for doing this!   Truly made it easy to understand.  I think i now can calculate it.   Bookmarked this even Smiley

Thanks again for your time doing it. We are less then a dollar away from 240.... crossing fingers for 240 value hopefully in near future.

yeah the explanations above fit pretty much exact.  I always like to play with math especially when money gets involved. (hence my accounting degree)
