Its getting suspensive ..

Since a final list has not yet been made, I would consider guessing a difficulty decline of -2.51 to -2.75%
The whole DDOS issue is likely going to cause miners to effectively go offline that based on economics should not be offline

this may turn out to be the best pick yet
real time google is -0.98%

If this drop is being caused by the DDOS attacks, then I am surprised that it is lasting this long, although it could be that pools that were being used by a large corporate farm(s) were affected, and all their miners were effectively kicked offline and for whatever reason were never brought back online.
I would say that if I do not end up winning then the contest will likely roll over because the difficulty will probably decline by more then what I predicted.
I think you may win. It may dip to -3.? then come back. My guess is a big farm sold off gear to a 2 or 3 cent power prlce farm
and it will come back on line soon.

WOW. Another -10% day again. Looks like we might actuall get the difficulty reduced next Monday.
Great news for miners.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qmF2knc5rSrJLESgQJYBz8mPzpKihmSzPPQUGH7pT8g/edit#gid=204080645 the live number is (-1.68%) we have about 722 blocks to go
coinbase is 295 usd
Yep not much more to go, also nearing 14 million coins generated
Doubt it will have much impact on mining speed though but it seemed like an interesting note.
13,950,550 when I posted
I always wonder how many of those coins have been lost for all time, due to misplaced keys or corrupted hard drives, etc.
This one surely looks lost

Wow never seen one so full of 1's with money in it. If someone truly has that I would like to know how long they used vanitygen to make it. Or how ever they got it.
Look at the hash160 which is all 0's... Strange. Somewhat impressive actually.

-0.48% (at time of post) and price staying sub $300, would be nice to see a decline in difficulty and to break through the £300 barrier again or am I asking too much right now?
Won't happen. Either price will break $300 and difficulty will rise, or price will fall and difficulty will stay the same or go down.
Yeah that's what the rational side of my brain thought at first but then I thought it would be nice to break through $300 and keep the difficulty down.
It might happen, maybe if we see a 2nd wave of DDOS attacks
With failover pools I think loss of mining power is small. Most don't use just 1 pool in their miners. Sure some do.... but they would not long with these attacks hurting pools.

If BTC would stay in this price range 280-300usd and diff does -0.5% for the next 3 jumps I will sign up for that in a heartbeat.

Bitcoin Difficulty: 47,427,554,951
Estimated Next Difficulty: 47,508,999,644 (+0.17%)
Adjust time: After 820 Blocks, About 5.7 days
And BTC around 290. Looking like another nice difficulty jump so far.

I got free electricity over here but with the coming spring it will come down to shutting some miners down. Whenever its 40F or higher, the GPU miners need to be powered off due to massive heat.
All of my miners are very inefficient. I got GPUs, KNC Jupiters, and some S3+.
The S3+ are my most efficient miners.
I didn't want to pull the trigger on any more efficient miners because they all seem overpriced at the moment. All the miners I got made ROI a while ago so everyday is a positive day. I don't think I can buy an S5 or SP20 and have to wait 6 months to get ROI. I really wish the prices were more fair when it came to pricing mining equipment.

And that is one of the great things about mining community being so big. I know at around 10 cents I decided to get rid of S3+'s before summer heat. But with cheap and "free" there is a market for them still. And the S3's are built pretty rock solid.
I still run a pair of batch 1 s-3's at my friends office.
We have a 2.4 cent power deal at his place. must be 600 to 800 watts must be quiet.
The pair of s-3's running at freq 212 hash 850 gh and use 650 watts. They will earn money until diff is 100
We hit 70 today here in Northern Indiana and I hear my S5's fans cycling up and down in the basement.... The wife is not going to like this.. 
I've got all my windows open in the basement, going to have to move the heaters out to the garage soon. I just know that as soon as I bring them out, cold weather will be back.
