as you can see, right now we have more than 8.5thash/s. Way more than 10% is from "Others", which are growing fast since this morning. As this is before the difficulty change, I doubt it is a calculation error.
So does anyone know who or what has opened it's hashgates this morning?

Difficulty change screws up the stats. It happens every time, followed immediately by threads like this.

CAN WE PLEASE GET A STICKY ABOUT THIS!?

We did not have the diff change yet. Afterwards ok, but before?

Why does the overall hashrate calculation is messed up hours before a diff change?

bunch of smaller pools probably, like bitclockers.com, not represented on the graph.

i guess goverments are starting to join. Eventually they will be the only ones left to mine since they don't "pay" power bills not even the rigs!
It is money from taxes

You realize though that Bitcoin Watch is a couple of hundred blocks behind, which ruins the stats?
We have block 131,038 now and they show 130,815 as the last one. That totally throws off the hashrate. 1.6 Th/s is too low, Bitcoin Charts says it's more like 8.4 right now!
