I see no sudden increase in total network hashrate.

[dree12]

yep

i thought they only shipped like 60 units, right?

so either someone else made some asics, or that's mostly GPU mining 'cause the price is at $20, with a few ASICs thrown in

60 * 66 Gh/s = ~4 Th/s

The ASICs would explain the bulk of the rise.

I just looked and it seems like it was 50, not 60 like I said earlier. 

I imagine that guy in Korea that does half a dozen or more blocks a day is probably using ASICs though, too.   

I mean, if I was in "Avalon" I'd send some stash to a friend or mine with some myself while they're still profitable...  so maybe if you included his total

i started overclocking my cards a little again , since it's profitable to do so atm

Weird. When it spiked up to 30TH/s for like 12 hours, I assumed it was more than just variation, and actually ASICs online. Now we're looking at 25THs, almost exactly where we were before.

I prefer the graph for the last 3 months:



Follow the purple line.

Why did you shrink the img, without making it clickable? Then we can't see it.

Edit: But I do agree with you. We're almost to where we were before the reward half. Yay ASICs!

It does seem to have been variation (at least for now). I'm sure others have started up their GPU mining once more (as I did) since it's marginally profitable (again, at least for now). I think it'll be pretty obvious once there are a fair number of ASICs in the wild, and I'm fully expecting to see a stable 30+ TH/s over the next few weeks.

Well BFL will be hopefully shipping in the next 2 weeks, so I'm ok with that. As long as I get some time mining below a 5 million difficulty, I'll be happy. Not as it will affect my overall profits that much, but just cuz it sounds cool as hell.

I should have provide a link for the image, but my brain farted.
I was just showing a graph of the same time period without a massive spike in hash rate.

[crazyates]

Avalon shipped 15 days ago, and we're still not to the hashrate pre-reward half?

Those hashes look pretty volatile.

[Korbman]

Those hashes look pretty volatile.

Looks can be quite deceiving. The hash rate is completing within it's normal range, especially given the substantial increase in USD/BTC value. It'll be vastly more obvious if there were more ASICs hashing.

[tacotime]

It's going back up again, we'll see if this trend increases into next week.

We shall see indeed.

A) Avalon shipped 3+ weeks ago.
B) Network still isn't even at the pre-reward half level from 2 months ago.
C) The price has risen by $5 in just the past 2 weeks alone. It's at ~$23, higher than its been in a LONG time. That alone would entice a lot of miners to come back online.

[NEO2012]

As one would expect since Avalon DHL shipment officially happened almost a week ago.

Instead I see a slight decrease in both hashrate and difficulty.
As if no ASICs were actually mining, and as if  some GPU rigs were getting retired without replacement.

Just sayin'.

guess what me  bfl and you are in the same team


we wonder why??? hmmm
