the numbers on this new "guess the difficulty" thread are soooo different from the old contest. lotsa double digit increases at the old thread vs the low single digit ones here.
times be changing? the asic makers just dribbling miners out this time and that limits the difficulty growth?

Bitcoinwisdom shows a +13.53% increase. Insane, but also completely out of the range of our guesses. Better luck next time for all of us! I assume this will be rolled over to the next diff period.

13.0 is still possible... crazy!
31 blocks and 13.71
since 13 is 13.0 to 13.099999xxx
it could hit.

Let's see how this holds up over time.
If it works well enough, feel free to quote it Phil.

I went double-digit because I got reminded by a post somewhere about "S9 batch shipping in July".
Seems like Bitmain got this batch out the door a bit early though, I'm pretty sure their "ship by" date on the batch in question was July 10.

Nothing says that Bitmain didn't deploy 1,000 S9's within their data center before they worried about shipping units to customers. I clearly picked too low, just like almost everyone else.....

Someone has kicked on the afterburners and it's looking like a 13+% increase coming! I first picked 13, then thought that's too much and went down a notch.

Ouch, looks like I completely missed this edition (I participated in the previous one). Actually bookmarked the old thread but somehow forgot all about this. Been reading news on hobby miners re-entering the scene ever since recent ATHs, probably one more reason why people are thinking of double digit guesses.
If this one is positive, I'm going on a low negative if I chance on the next edition.
