My plan had been to wait until 10 minutes before the deadline to make my prediction so I had as much information as possible about the next difficulty adjustment, however...

The internet tells me that current CEST (Central European Summer Time) is 11:30, but also it isn't summer in the northern hemisphere and so current Berlin time is 10:30.

What is this foul play!?

I have never heard of celebrating party for a new couch but hey, I learn every day something crazy new.

Congratulations to Gazeta and to Bonbon L (couch with a name is even weirdier, lol) long life and no stains and of course to make a lot of good memories together

I should probably make a givaway for my new loan mower (a.k.a Frank) /jk it's 3yo already...

Anyway, I know nobody is laughing at my jokes koz I'm as weird as my (old) avatar so let's get to the point.

I have no idea what the last block of January 2023 could be so that's why I'll do it like this: steal from the others the first 3 numbers, in our case 774 and the rest will be just pure gambling.
Soo...

Last Block of January 2023: 774167

Good luck guys

P.S. Am I the only one thinking that the couch deservs to have its own account here? Go-Go Bonbon L

Thanks again for your flawless timing! And a Happy New Year
I don't even need excuses, the kids still have vacation and are playing with their gadgets, my time machine is fully charged, and the weather is warm for the time of year.

Are you going for the last block of 2022?

One hundred and ninety-eighth week paid.

And hey, congrats on your new couch, GazetaBitcoin!  Much nicer than my first, which was taken from the side of a road.  Not kidding.  Ugly green faux leather thing with rips in it.  But it served its purpose and RIP old couch, wherever you are.

Careful, I've said sober enough, not 100% sober


Plus, you technically didn't make any prediction yet (i.e. you didn't post a code tag with your name in it and I doubt that posting the code tag with others' name is taken into account), hence you don't necessarily have to remove that post, nor wait

I guess I did not listen (again) to suchmoon:


I also remember that once, when I was sober, I accidentally painted our Supreme Leader in red for a short while

And again, as icopress wisely said,

Are you sure it's yours??  
Can you please recheck?


OK, you've checked it 
Now you know why I wanted to make sure I'm sober enough for the job and delayed my prediction a little.

As usual, copy-paste ruins me I will delete my earlier post after 24h, as I wrote NF's name there instead of mine and I also did not write my predicted block; then I'll make a new post. (Editing prediction is not allowed, but deleting the post is also not forbidden, lol.)

It's already 3.4% and decreasing; I guess that the miners affected by the bad weather are firing their gears up again.

Since Gazeta keeps asking when I make my bet , here we are:

Happy New Year, gang! May this new year make your wishes come true!

---

I've read about the couch, I didn't get to say a word on it yet though...
Congratulations, Gazeta! May this couch last at least as long as you like it! Felicitari si sa te tina cat mai mult!
It looks impressively versatile, although I prefer the "taller" couches, where I don't need extra pillows at my back.
I guess that this was the very last step of the renovation, so congratulations for that too!

---

Um, I remember I've seen this or that back then on the topic, but in my head it never went past the meme stage... Hence I cannot really confirm much...
You may want to come with Romanian (and balcanic, at least) customs of blowing up our fingers and eyes at New Year's too, if we are on the stage of barbaric customs

Indeed LOL, somehow I've expected it already, that I've missed it to weed out all errors but luckily, the year is mentioned in the rules correctly.  
Many thanks for pointing this out and your win are 4 Merits.  


Great prediction and a very accurate one.
I'm expecting also an average of below 10 minutes per block mined, so more blocks will be mined until our given date. If Bitcoin's price doesn't drop much more, it's a likely outcome.

---

Ok, we'll believe you.  

---

No problem, dear LoyceV, since you've mentioned it, I've now confirmed your number and archived it here, your entry is eligible.

---

Yes, it's a good excuse, can I request to apply that excuse? /s  
Sure, it's your couch so you have been entitled to introduce it.  


Happy new year @everyone from me as well.
Take care in the Foxhole and protect it from rockets.  

I thought you wanted to let me have the honor of introducing it  


Hihi!


Thank you once more for doing this!


No worry, my friend

---

Of course! And thank you!  

---

And now (...drums...) please allow me say a few words for the end of the year If in my earlier post I described you the Romanian ritual on Christmas, involving barbaric behavior toward pigs, now let me tell you how Romanians celebrated the end of the world (for those unaware yet, world has ended on December 12th, 2012) (Again, NeuroticFish may (or may not) confirm all these )

20 December 2012: preparations for the end of the world
21 December 2012: the beginning of the end of the world
22 December 2012: celebration of the official end of the world
23 December 2012: the end of the end of the world celebration
24 December 2012: the hangover after celebrating the end of the world
25,26 December 2012: Christmas
31 December 2012: The New Year, shopping for gifts, champagne etc.
1 January: the beginning of the new year
2, 3 January: the hangover after the new year's party
4 January: preparations for the end of the world of those following the old rite (those using the older (Julian) calendar).

All in all, it was a great end of the world!

Happy New Year, everybody!

I'm just wondering.... Have you tested it yet? And I mean tested Congratulations!

That's easy: 721,257 Lol

I made a mistake, and edited it When you see it, it's obvious. I couldn't use my time machine again, it's still charging.

How could I miss to mention the name of your couch, Bonbon L?  
Bonbon L is a name perfectly suited for your couch because it's a cute name and a cute couch. But it's not only cute, it's cute while it's large at the same time because it's Bonbon L.  
Not Bonbon S, not Bonbon M, no it's Bonbon L.  
It's a very inspiring couch, so we considered launching a giveaway and did it finally, too.  

So, let's see how people will justify their predictions because in my opinion, guessing Bitcoin block numbers at a specified time is always exciting and a good way to determine a dignified winner.  
I'm looking forward to your predictions.  
Let's honor GazetaBitcoin's couch Bonbon L by making a good prediction.  

Unfortunately, I'm always out of Merit, when it's very inconvenient. 

As 1miau stated above, I struggled myself for almost the entire summer with a complete house redecoration. It was almost a living hell to stay (and keep working too) inside what looked like a construction site, but it was worth it in the end. Of course, after the full redecoration I also needed new furniture

One piece of furniture actually stole my heart   A fully-modular couch! About 5 years ago, a friend of mine told me he bought a similar one -- back then the price was about 1200 euro. I was shocked! I asked him: "What kind of couch is that, to cost 1200 euro?" (in Romania, couch prices could vary between 400 and 600 euro -- and I mean prices for a decent couch). He explained the concept to me and already convinced me! Practically, every single element of the couch can be arranged as you please. So I told myself that if I'll ever own a house, then I will certainly buy myself such a couch!

Years passed and prices soared, thus the 1200 euro couch became an almost 2000 euro couch (remember, minimum net wage in Ro is about 250 euro/month) -- yet, that did not stop me. I said that, no matter what, I'll get it!

So here it is (fillippone, please ignore the huge champagne plastic bottle, lol):


It's name is Bonbon L and it's absolutely stunning! Here is a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qjxvQVfcrHA

(Honestly, its name also represented a very good reason for me to get it )

Those interested may see more similar couches on www.feydom.com.

Coming back, when I told all these to 1miau (it was in September or so), he seemed like he got in love with my couch even more than me   So he proposed this beautiful giveaway, to celebrate this beautiful couch! I thank him once more for this nice gesture!

---

And, as 1miau mentioned inside his earlier post, I will also offer something.

I would like to contribute to this giveaway with a physical gift: a card issued by Bitcoin Romania (Romania's biggest crypto exchange), loaded with 100 RON (~20 euro). The gift will be sent to the winner. There is also a possibility to offer one more such card, to a random participant of the giveaway.

Coming back to the card, to be more precise, it has a scratch-able area containing a code and that code must be used on Bitcoin Romania's website for redeeming the amount you need to have an account on their exchange).

Privacy-wise, I have to say that, for registering to their platform KYC is required -- and I am not a fan of KYC, nor I can advise that. However, the winner of the card may keep it as a nice collectible item   The card itself looks very nice:


Needless to say, I am also grateful to hilariousandco, for allowing this giveaway and also to our Supreme Leader of Thick-Skinned Ones, for allowing us to celebrate inside his yard  

Good luck to all participants!

P.S.: shipping for the card is free.

Finally, we'll announce a very nice suprise and also a big opportunity to win some valuable BTC.  
Following recent renovations which included full house redecoration, painting walls, changing wall / floor tiles etc. and also new furniture, GazetaBitcoin has purchased a new couch.  
As far as I know, GazetaBitcoin has waited for a very long time to purchase such a couch and now, it's FINALLY DONE!  
It's not a normal couch, it's a very comfortable and expensive couch (some people would even call it elitist couch) and we want to honor GazetaBitcoin’s new couch.  
GazetaBitcoin will tell you more about it here.  

I'll sponsor a price of very valuable BTC and we will determine some winners as part of our celebrations.
Winners will be determined censorship-resistant via Blockchain because members will need to determine the last Bitcoinblock mined in January 2023 (CET Timezone).
The participants coming closest to that number will win.
Example:


It's a very tricky giveaway because you need to consider some of the deepest Bitcoin fundamentals.  
Of course, Bitcoin price is part of it and we can't predict it.

Have a nice celebration time!  

No problem, maybe my PM has been a little bit confusing, so sorry for any inconvenience. 

Ok, so trolls would have to prove that my data is manipulated.
Should be safe to do it like that. 

Our celebration will be launched soon, probably already later today.

I forgot about the part where I was supposed to be the one to post it. I didn't check if your data wasn't manipulated (what reason could you possibly have to do that), but it looks familiar lol.

Yup, I am okay with that!
