Just noticed the large increase in network hash rate that seemed to line up with the latest (insane) difficulty jump. Anyone suspect foul play? Or people just getting on board that quickly?
just a LOT more people mining litecoins these days.
Its jump in value made it FAR more valuable to mine than bitcoins for a couple of weeks, it has almost leveled off with the latest difficulty increase and will likely be on par with the next 11% difficulty increase estimated in about 3 days.
