Title: 504 Block Gen time dropping?
Post by: cr4sh0verride on April 09, 2014, 02:35:01 AM
Hi All,

Not sure if its just the graph not updating but the 504 Block Gen time has dropped significantly as a percentage over the past little while

What could be the cause of this?
Are we at the end of the rush of miners coming online?

Thanks,

Seems like big asic producer stopped 'testing' and started delivering...it should go back up when costumers start to plug the machines in the network...

The difficulty increases are definitely picking up now so these are very temporary drops since the manufacturers are ramping up production and now shipping the initial batches of units.
