Topic: New Diff thread Mar 22 to Apr. 5 not ready for prime time - page 7. (Read 10235 times)

What I hope happens at some point btc price plummets sub 100, many miners including farms cant afford to mine, asic demand is significantly lowered, asic companies go bankrupt and diff would start to go down significantly.
This would be nice.

I hope it goes back to flatter.  My biggest fear is someone has next gen chips and pumping them out.  I am hoping those chips take a few months for everyone to get though.  If a company does have next gen chips I could see them keep putting out quite a bit each week.

Home mining will be for low power homes. under 10 cents a kwatt.

or someone that uses spot electric space heaters 6 or 7 months a year.

So we're probably hitting the top at 12%? That is 52323655601....
Let's hope it might be a bit lower... I think that the S6 and the new SP's will make a lot of difference and that home mining won't be a thing anymore after that...

My guess is someone deployed a secret farm so to speak. If so I am hoping bitfury simply killed off old gear and replaced with new gear.  say they dropped 20ph and added 40ph.

and after this 8 to 12 % jump we stay flat.

There is speculation that antpool had significantly above expected luck to account for part of the jump.

Obviously some of the jump is from new (likely more efficient) hardware being brought online. Part of it could probably be explained by batch 5 (?) of S5's being brought online. Bitmantech had an unusually long production run for this batch of S5s so it is possible they were using some of their production capacity to build their next generation of more efficient miners and brought them online for testing/were mining for themselves. Another possibility is that a private farm built a lot of privately built miners with their own chips. I haven't been following the hashrate distribution closely but it looks like the "unknown" share of found blocks is very high right now and I would think a lot of the unknown found blocks are from corporate miners not mining on pools.  

I think the list is up to date

This is setup as a possible free gift  with nothing to lose  so it is not gambling

  which is how I want it to stay.  Basically many people do not want to gamble for many reasons.

 This is one of the few spots on the site designed for fun.  Free spec on the diff the price and a free guess for .1btc.

So does anyone know why the network hashrate has jumped in the last few days?   

my bad will fix it.

Then , it will be basicly a gambling which some people cannot attend due to religional causes -including me-.
I really appreciate OP's effort to make such a thread and I just dont want him to change from original status to a pot like system.

Shouldn't we make a Bingo out of it? Every bidder pays 0.01 BTC to an address, the winner takes it all?

I want to make highest estimation from +18.51 to +18.75 % for the current round.

My difficulty estimation is between:

+11.01-11.25

I'd like to switch my guess to + 15.01 to 15.25

Also why does roadstress get a .5% range?

 I did a few corrections

will do some corrections the switching makes it harder

Ouch I sure hope were not going this high.  A +15 would be a big jump.

+15% for me..

its already 6.16% & bitmain S5's are due on the 30th if they aren't being released already..

Estimated Next Difficulty:    49,579,206,785 (+6.13%)

the roof is catching some fire....
