Cool idea, suddenly want to buy bitcoins just to participate :)
1,648,531 GH/s is the current target. I can bet below or above that. It maybe sound odd, because I am not really into the Bitcoins, but what (in the very uncertain case) if the target is hit (neither below or above)?

Haha, given the daily hash rate volatility can be +/- 300,000 GH/s, there is a 1/300,000 chance that'll happen.
But in all seriousness, if that does happen, we'll refund all the bets without taking any house fees.
Well, you know, if there is a chance that something goes wrong ...
Anyway, cool site, great idea and thx for the links above!
Difficulty is divisible to many digits:
https://blockexplorer.com/q/getdifficulty shows current difficulty at 189281249.28103
Actually, we're using Network Hash Rate rather than difficulty. Difficulty changes every ~2 weeks.
This is the API endpoint we're polling is https://blockchain.info/q/hashrate
Hash Rate is an inferred number though. See http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/11139/how-is-the-...
Aha! I should read more carefully.
