Good morning mates! (my time zone)
Sweet dreams mates! (a quarter Earth turn backwards)
It's around UTC 9:00 AM as I type this.
In about 12 hr, difficulty will increase an estimated 20% as per bitcoinwisdom (bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty). This will happen in the middle of the 24 hr 50% bonus window s0br so kindly and spontaneously offered to miners.
As everybody reading this thread is aware of, during the last 36 hours there's been 37 mg of bitter conversations, a pinch of frustration, two grams of doubt, more than five chopps of beer, and loads of different kinds of endogenous opioid inhibitory neuropeptides pouring into our veins (endorphines).
Hashrate was directly proportional to heart rates, ladies didn't want to even talk to us with that mood we had at the forum, and mining shares were late. Et caetera.
And i personally just kind of don't want to read once again the saddening arguments I've already read after my sunny day out yesterday, when the aforementioned diff change takes place later today and sensitive souls start asking questions about how much, when and why.
All of that in my opinion happened mainly because of a bit of noisy/lack of communication between "we, the miners" (lol) and Masta OP et al.
That being said I would kindly propose to everyone here the following:
1. Go get a beer.
2. Smile to your mascot or closer beloved one.
3. Get serious and think about that today we'll really need clear and timely information about the plans for the next stage, regarding future bonus, PPS unit value after the new diff change, and other possible modifications to the reward system I can't even imagine could take place.
That's it.
English is not my main language. I hope to have been understood.
Let's focus today in avoiding arguments and please s0br/adaryian keep us informed in advance about how mining here will be after the big jump in btc difficulty.
I think this could help to keep up the great atmosphere I mentioned weeks ago in one of my first posts.
Thanks a lot for reading this, mates!
Cheers.
Ron.
