I do suggest not rushing on the picks as it is early.

For me it is half the fun starting this early

. I also have not been changing my picks though as I don't want to waste your time.

I have a idea that might be liked or hated. Maybe make it where if someone wins with a pick that was changed give half the prize, and move other half to the next week. Just seems one who picks early has better choices normally, and if they change later on they got a prime spot plus being able to watch difficulty for a bit. So really is a advantage.

if you are mining a jump to 400 then 500 will start big growth in diff.
I actually prefer it to do a big drop 210 or 220 then a slow climb back up.
Anything to slow diff growth and keep it under 2%.

I rather the jump up and over 300 then 400 happens in Oct or Nov.

I fear staying above 300 before the s-7 drops will result in big diff jump.
I know prices above 400 right at the s-7 release will be a big growth jump and higher s-7 prices.

It's been a great summer so far. Much better then I ever expected. I would agree once next gen comes out we will see some more growth, I'm not sure how crazy it will be.

What I'm hoping is we gain with next gen, but we lose some old miners. I still think there are quite a few A1's out there. One day they will drop out, but it's hard to say when.
If we keep seeing low to medium single digits for rest of summer I will be a extremely happy person. And if we don't I still did far better then I thought I would during summer, so still a win.

Bitwisdom looks like it's thinking positive still:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    51,076,366,303
Estimated Next Difficulty:    52,325,069,545 (+2.44%)
Adjust time:    After 1745 Blocks, About 12.2 days
Hashrate(?):    368,588,798 GH/s

Price making it up slowly and at 288. It is not the 300+ we had but at least it's slowly going up.

Price is over 290, 292 right now, hopefully it will make it back up and over 300 and stay there as the new norm.

That is good news we made a pretty quick recovery from low 280's to low 290's. I'm just hoping we can get the 300 again in a decent time period.

I am hoping you are right about 300 being the new norm. For us miners going from mid 200's to 300 is a good and welcomed jump.

I couldn't agree more about hanging around the 300's. Not looking for a major climb too quickly.

Feel sorry if you ordered an s-5 at the new higher price of 439 plus shipping. Good luck with that.

Gotta love Bitmain...

Finance guys: hey, BTC is trending up? Woohoo! Raise the price of the miners!!!
Hardware guys: sweet! We can sell off those old S5s from our data center for even more $$!!! Makes more room for these shiny new S7s!
Sales guys: well... they're not saying anything at all... they're still too drunk to form complete thoughts.

Well in their favor at least they sell gear to us.
Many other companies just shut us out.
They are in a funny spot as they are just about the only company that sells gear to the home miner.

As of right now they want 399 plus 43 to ship to the usa total price = 442

Can it make money if you have a psu and cheap power it can make money.

Is it a fair price? Some say no way too high. It is way too high if your power is at 10cents and up.

So mining is now an 8 cent a kwatt game.

Ouch price is now taking a dive currently at - 284.75

This is a drop of over 8 percent or 25 dollars. Price is still not horrible as long as it does not plummet more. But would be nice to get over 300 mark again.

http://www.coindesk.com/price/

dropped a bit more.. Well this is why waiting to block 300 to pick helps a bit.

If everyone picked yesterday when coins were 310 picks would be as high as 5% and 6%

based on this site which is more of a real time number we are negative we are 208 blocks in so figure 14 to 16 hours time and we will open for picking.

http://www.bitcoincharts.com/ (-0.036%)

Blocks   365104
Total BTC   14.378M

Difficulty   51076366303
Estimated   51057804323 in 1808 blks

Network total   327993.542 Thash/s
Blocks/hour   5.38 / 669 s

So over night a big drop.

  Oh coinbase needed to shut down must likely panicked sellers caused that.

Look for them to open later today.

Feel sorry if you ordered an s-5 at the new higher price of 439 plus shipping. Good luck with that.
