Ethereum Mining Difficulty

[thunder.02dragon]

Hi Guys,

First of all tried to search all the places but I am unable to hence posting here..

I know the current difficulty for ETH is almost `3000TH - which is after all the difficulty bombs.. but the current Network hash rate is around ~1.2TH? (I hope I am looking it right). So when Byzantium will go live that will diffuse the difficulty bomb for sure to make a way for POS - now what I am unsure is

Will the current difficulty be reset to Network Projected which IMO be 1000TH?
or
The difficulty will stay at 3000TH? - Anyone can share?Guess?

Going through Cryptomines post on reddit - he did mentioned difficulty to revert back to network projected one - which any one knows what could be if at all?

Appreciate the info.. but as said.. this does not explains post Byz difficulty situation.

As I know, Byz turns ethereum blocktime to 14 seconds(from 30secs now) + decreases block reward to 3ETHs.
So difficulty will become about 1000 or little more, but profitability will be similar.

No effect on the profitability.
