This is truly an extraordinary story.

And underappreciated.

In a month we'll be talking about 10000 Petaflops.

Bitcoin Network Doubles to 2 PH/s in Four Weeks; the First 1 PH/s Took 4.7 Years!!!

Update 14 Oct 2013:

22,215 Petaflops
2000 PH/s

http://thegenesisblock.com/bitcoin-network-doubles-2-phs-four-weeks-first-1-phs-took-4-7-years/

In mid-September, after 4.75 years in existence, the bitcoin network reached an estimated hash rate of 1 petahash per second. Remarkably, the second petahash took just one more month, pushing network speed over 2 PH/s this past weekend, or 80x the speed on January 1 of this year. This growth is primarily attributable to new ASIC bitcoin miners from KnCMiner and BTCGarden recently being added to the network, and is a trend that is not expected to stop any time soon.
