So: mining is now 30% harder than it used to be before.

I'm curious to see how this effects the market.

This was easy because price stagnated for a while. I bet next jump will be to >10^6

Before the last reset we saw rapid growth in hashing rate, and then a significant drop off after the reset. Once again the hashing rate grew significantly before today's reset to a higher level. Is this the effect of casual miners losing interest when the difficulty resets?
Time to throw another 6950 into the mix. It's a decent room heater as a bonus (winter here).

I hope you're wrong about that.
That would be 400% ?
Hypothetically, if an increase like that occurred, how long would it take to go back down assuming drastically slowed production of blocks ?

This happens all the time after difficulty jumps. It is due to the way it's calculated. Give it 12-24 hours to readjust - then you'll see real estimation. Also, if you noticed total hashing power is displayed as >7Th/s which is nonsense. We "only" have about 4.5 |

Well, that is not my assumption! These are rough facts taken from http://blockexplorer.com. Just noticed that before difficulty increase the network total spped was ~ 5.7 Thash/s and now it is ~ 7.5 Thash/s!!! What are those machines that do such a huge influx to the network? Or is it again a calculation mistake? |

It's my understanding that 400% is the maximum increase. And as for how long it would take to go back down - it wouldn't, unless people stopped mining. If difficulty and hashing power were in balance then the difficulty wouldn't change. And if the next jump in difficulty were 400% then that would suggest that there was even more extra hashing power in the network (because the chances that the amount of hashing power in the network warranted exactly the maximum increase in difficulty is pretty small). EDIT: current estimate of next difficulty is 771795, "only" a 36% increase |
Beware the weak hands!

It's due to the way the estimate is calculated.
The script basically looks at the number of blocks found in the last x hours (24? 12? don't know), and assumes they all had a difficulty of the *CURRENT* difficulty, although the current difficulty is now ~30% higher than yesterday. So the script "thinks" those blocks from yesterday were just as difficult to find as today. Of course, they were actually easier to find, so the script overestimates the current network hashrate. Because it thinks the hashrate is higher, it will also estimate a much higher difficulty.

but if the price keeps going up, earning less BTC is OK...

They could just take the time between last block + this block and calculate which hashrate you'd need to solve it theoretically in exactly this amount of time. Very lucky short rounds would cause huge spike though, so these numbers then would need to be averaged out again, but it would handle difficulty changes very well + fast. Could be even done on historic blockexplorer date quite easily. Anyone up for an afternoon challenge?  |
