Bitwisdom tonight:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    47,643,398,018
Estimated Next Difficulty:    48,547,361,322 (+1.90%)
Adjust time:    After 196 Blocks, About 1.3 days

Looking pretty solid it will be around +2 this week at the end of it.  Price is slipping slightly at 236 we have a lot of trouble getting to and stay above 240 it seems.  I'm hoping next difficulty change we can see it go above 240 and stay.

5/ 3/2015    140 blocks----------- that is -   2   since 1/2 were the last adjustment and 1/2 were this adjustment
5/ 4/2015    130 blocks----------  that is - 14
5/ 5/2015    154 blocks----------  that is +10
5/ 6/2015    157 blocks----------  that is +13
5/ 7/2015    148 blocks----------  that is +4
5/ 8/2015    143 blocks----------  that is -1
5/ 9/2015    140 blocks----------  that is -4
5/10/2015   122 blocks----------  that is -22
5/11/2015   147 blocks----------  that is +3
5/12/2015   154 blocks----------  that is +10
5/13/2015   170 blocks----------  that is +26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5/14/2015   148 blocks----------  that is +4
5/15/2015   147 blocks----------  that is +3
5/16/2015   132 blocks----------  that is  -12


we have made 1953 blocks  we are plus 18   so  1953 vs 1935 =

and we are a real number of (+0.93%)

bitcoinwisdom says (+1.36%)

there are only 63 blocks left about 10 to 11 hours from now we adjust.

Going down to 0 is tough.  I would say +0.50%  to 1.25% make sense.



We have not had any new gear since 2014 the s-5 the sp20 the avalon 4.1 all came out in 2014

stuff is happening soon I think or I spec.

Looks like a positive bump this time Undecided ... interesting to see how diff is jumping up&down since Dec 2014 ...

Yea most likely a small bump in difficulty this week.  Price is around 237 so we did gain price compared the the 220 we were at for a long time.   

So it's still not all bad.

 yes we did gain more in price then diff so it is a good deal.  I am wondering if avalon is going to put out a new 5 chip miner.

maybe they read sidehacks thread and ck solo pool thead.

I'm wondering  the same. Will be interesting if they do release one. I also wonder on SFards since they did show a dev kit. 

It seems like they should have a miner in not to long if they really do have prototypes/devkit's.  I don't think i've seen anyone with one yet so guess it cold be a bit.

philipma1957 here with my secondary account.

I am running around   FRI. SAT. and Sun.

 I like using this  secondary account when not in my home.


I was looking at block count for the day.


https://blockchain.info/blocks


we are at block 356582 -356467 =  

115 blocks made from 00:00:00 to  18:06:31   so in 18.1 hours x 6 = 108.6 or 109 blocks

we are 6 over for today.

 31 over for the adjustment period.

1766 vs 1735   the 'real' number is (+1.78%)

bitcoinwisdom's number of (+2.25%) 

is assuming continued high block days  for the rest of today sat and part of sun.

31 over is pretty hard to drop back to under since we have just 250 blocks left.

5/13/2015   170 blocks----------  that is +26!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5/14/2015   148 bocks-----------  that is +4

we are up about 25 blocks at the moment.

 we have made 1677  blocks   +25  means we should be at 1652

So we have a 'real number of (+1.51%)

with only 339 blocks left  we would need a 130 block day and a 130 block day back to back  to go just a little negative.

We have had 4 really good block days  since moms day.  I do think we go slow on Fri and Sat finishing up  close to 0 on Sun

only time will tell.

Bitwisdom closing up the night:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    47,643,398,018

Adjust time:    After 347 Blocks, About 2.4 days

So it's looking pretty for sure on positive.   Price around 237 so a little recovery of the drop from 240.

Midday bitwisdom:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    47,643,398,018
Estimated Next Difficulty:    48,300,290,967 (+1.38%)
Adjust time:    After 390 Blocks, About 2.7 days
Hashrate(?):    368,183,662 GH/s

Definitely looking like low positive at this point on difficulty change still around 2 days left though.  Price is around 236, so approaching 240 again.

Well antpool did 37 blocks yesterday out of 170   

they should do  23 blocks  and the networks should do 144

they were 14 over     the network was  26 over.

they are at 31 today with 3.5 hours to go.   

the network has done  131 blocks with  3.5 hours to go.

we are on pace for 165 blocks

antpool is on pace for  38 blocks

truly amazing numbers for them.

In 2 days time 3 days worth of blocks!

Big jump in the hashrate at the moment as we always see since a few weeks or more.

Antpool are just lucky I guess. They still have a steady 64-67 PH.


EDIT: they just pulled another 4 block on 32 minutes

they have been super hot for a week.  and we are getting a solid   drift upwards in diff the last few days matches with antpool quite a bit.

Bitwisdom seems to be shooting up right now:

Bitcoin Difficulty:    47,643,398,018

Adjust time:    After 504 Blocks, About 3.4 days

Price appears to be taking a nose dive.  Were around 335.    Seems like we are not able to keep 240 for long.

Hopefully it goes back up, guess we will see.
