In another 3 hours there will be a negative difficulty adjustment, a perfect moment to unleash a couple TH of hashing power

It was 10 hours ago ...
217728 had the new difficulty 2968775.3320751
It was a perfect moment to start, but it seems there are no mining rigs ready yet.... Guess we have to wait till Friedcats update in a couple of hours to hear where they stand at the moment.....
Well he hasn't sent me the dev board yet

Of course there are lots of other interesting things to know, but those two will be what I'll need to know when the board arrives.
(but knowing in advance of course would mean I might be able to pre-emptively do some coding)
