Barring future dishonest timestamping, we missed the chance for seven difficulty drops in a row by mining block #478577 just 53 minutes too soon. We can still hope for a seventh difficulty drop with the following block (#478583) by hoping that the next block (#478578) doesn't arrive before 04:38:19 UTC.

* Whenever REQ-7 Trigger is no shorter than 720 minutes, difficulty will drop 20% making mining more profitable and giving us faster confirmations.

blocks arrive faster meaning there are enough hash there, so it's not a bad thing
