All time highest litecoin mining difficulty?

[Endgame]

Allchains.info reports that litecoin difficulty is currently at 13.22, and is about to bump up to 13.56. I'm not sure if this is the all time highest litecoin difficulty, but it is the highest I have ever seen it. Is there anybody who has kept records of previous mining difficulty who can confirm whether this will be a new record high? If so, what does it mean for litecoin? Will it force a higher litecoin price, or will it prevent additional bitcoin miners from moving across to litecoin?

I've watched the difficulty from October 13th of last year when LTC launched.

this is the highest it has ever been. I suspect it will continue to rise for some time.

[tatsuchan]

Looks like its headed up to 14+ now.  I've been mining on and off since December 2011, and yea, this is the highest I've seen yet.

[tacotime]

Yes, it's high.  Network hash rate reached 500MH/s the other day, or the equivalent of about 1,430 5850s.

ya.. tacotime is partly to blame... him and his helpful guides/posts getting all the noobs on board.... (just kidding man..)

but ya, difficulty is just going to go up and up from here as the BTC mining environment gets less and less friendly for a GPU miner and heck.. who doesnt like getting 100ltc/day vs 0.6btc/day

so far it seams to be true. every now and then there are some speculation price changes, but mostly diff. is the 1st factor.

if that remains true, after asics, im guessing a huge fluctuation in litecoin, we have seen 100% price increase the other day, when it spiked at 0,10$/LTC.

for now it settled in around 0,077$/LTC

cheers

Last time I checked Litecoinpool said next difficulty should be over 15.

Wow!

Wow!

It's profitable to mine LTC vs BTC at the moment. Expect a bunch of bitcoin miners moving in soon.

I seem to recall that it's hit 16 in the not-so-distant-past. That's the highest I'd seen (that may have been a projection, and never met, however)

No. I think last highest was 10 or 11 before this ramp.
