here is a point brought up due to the 2.60% used by bitcoinwisdom

philipma1957 - though it doesn't matter here, it will happen eventually. You should be clear on how you're rounding this. Suppose the change was 2.598% which bitcoin wisdom showed as 2.60% because it only shows 2dps - who wins, the chooser of 2.50% or 2.60%?

I think it should be based on unrounded percentage increase, so 2.50% would win.

Here it doesn't matter as the increase was 2.603% but let's get this clarified please.

I did go back and look to see if I could find the discussing on this in an old thread .

I remember we said bitcoinwisdom was the final number which gets rid of rounding issues.

So we will use bitcoinwisdom as the tie breaker.

Well in fact, 2.598 is between 2.5 (incl.) and 2.6 (excl.) so I guess the range of 2.5 (incl.) - 2.6 (excl.) should go from 2.5 to 2.5999999(per...)

Hey btw congrats DanDan!! That was a difficult difficulty guess, with so much burst in global hashrate!
