Topic: Difficulty after BFL - page 3. (Read 5216 times)
Sadly Bitcoin doesn't even need an issue of it's own to fail. It's being GOXXED to death.
After BFL Batch 1 & 2, and Avalon Batch 3, and ASICMiner we'll probably be in the mid 40million range - maybe by June? Then the oddities like Helveticoin might come in or some other unknowns. Either way GPUminers will be in Altcoins. From then on it will be an all out ASIC arms race. 60-100 million by July? You buy more ASIC if you think BTC will go to 1000USD never knowing what the cap on hashrate will be. Electric rates will start to matter by this time next year and the Gen2 or even Gen3 units will start coming out.
Or BTC has another issue and something like LTC or PPC takes over - unlikely but you never know.

Gonna be looking easily 60 - 100 million.
Well, guess that means I'm out xDLitecoin here I come :p

I'd try to figure it out myself, but not exactly sure what goes into calculating difficulty :p
Oh i understand.. just being funny. That would be a hard estimate i think. I'll be interested I what others have to say and their reasoning.
I'm going to say...more?
yes well I figured that, I was looking for an actual estimate, will it double, triple, or will it only increase a little bit.

I know this thread probably already exists, but I couldn't find it (sorry)
Anyway, lets assume that BFL ships all it's units, what is a likely difficulty when that happens?
