New contest picks  to end at block 516.

Let's see how this holds up over time.
If it works well enough, feel free to quote it Phil.

If you are overseas  I will spring for the shipping of the Trezor


-3.0 = isoneguy

-1.3 = VRobb

-1.2 = philipma1957  >>>>  I always pick this number

-1.0 = Last of the V8s

-0.2 = keystroke
0.0 = Fr4nkthetank
0.1 = tomintx
0.2 = mocacinno

0.9 = buwaytress
1.8 = eDonkey

2.2 = vapourminer
2.5 = alh
3.2 = Psi

3.6 = Landy1264
3.7 = pusttiu
5.0 = leowonderful

And look at the diff the gray line has always been under so were  pretty much negative but at the moment it has shot way up!






While I have participated in these before, I have lost my sense of how the range works when we are into negative territory. If as an example, what would I choose for the following:

Estimated Next Difficulty:    922,529,973,147 (-0.08%)

Would that be -.1% -or- 0.0% Huh?

I'll wait a bit to make a guess, but thought I would ask now, since it seems possible to me will be in for decrease in diffiulty.

Thanks for doing this again!!!

-0.1    covers  from -0.1 to  -0.000000000000000001....
0.0     covers  from  0.0 to    0.099999999999999999...
0.1    covers   from  0.1 to    0.199999999999999999...


so -0.08   would be won by  -0.1  not 0.0

@ QuintLeo  pick    you still have some time.

time is up all picks are in and done.
