Prepare for pain

Estimated Next Difficulty: 92,107,438,639 (+16.44%)
Adjust time: After 1363 Blocks, About 8.2 days

Bitcoin price also got higher about 16%

It looks like everyone turned on their new Antminers today. I'm assuming GM just runs all of their farm all the time and it would not matter if people purchased more HASH? Or if someone came along and made a large purchase on GM would they then spin up the miners? I can't imagine them sitting with machines turned off.

Looks like mount Everest https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

might be 20% gain this time.....

Yes, this is correct, all miners are mining 24/7.

But hashes can be sold out, see x11 and scrypt in the past.

Do you guys have any thoughts on how a contract bought, say, last week, would last @ GM, given this absurd rise in difficulty?
