Many of us at the litecoin community have been concerned about the huge increase in network hashrate, with a rising difficulty retarget... but how
big is this hashrate boost?

This graph tells us, pretty damn big.
The network hashrate for litecoin has nearly doubled in just a few days after the block halving on Bitcoin!
If anyone is wondering where this graph came from, I made the graph myself using excel, with data from a script to extract information from the Litecoin block explorer
