EDIT: Embarrassingly, I didn't look that carefully and thought it was China!!

Who created that spike? Or is it just random?

I've seen this spike already a few days ago. I wonder who it is. Seems to be in Berlin.

Could the spike be related to this ...  http://www.germanenergyblog.de/?p=13196


People turning to mining and using solar powered rigs and getting paid for generating electricity and Bitcoin.

Very nice... Is that Hashing power?

Wish they'd give some kind of explanation... At first glance ppl might think that's size of transactions being represented.

BTW: Germany's stack was much smaller on this one.

This has nothing to do with the hashing power.
As depicted it shows the most stable nodes. This has been discussed many times before. I think it represents the number of connections.
However, you won't find a mining farm in the Bunker  :o

I believe the "supernode" in Germany on the OP's screenshot is nogleg

https://blockchain.info/hub-nodes

The globe is showing relaying nodes, not specifically miners.

Terahashs anonymously solomining their own full blocks mining via a Tor exit node in Germany, a shit ton of the exit nodes are there

(Solo block bitcoins on its own unique unused wallet are worth more than non-solo block coins because they are much easier to make anonymous and hide.  Tor + solo mined block is theoretically untraceable to anyone)

You'd have to be an idiot to associate significant hashing power with any IP that can be tracked to you without a massive amount of work, for many reasons.
