Diff increase today (again)

Looks like we will jump over 40 million completely and land on 50481268 in just 12 hours.
Average time between blocks has so far been 6.9 minutes, which is scary and points to continued difficulty acceleration for the near future.

I wouldn't be surprised if we skip over the 60's once we land in the 50's.

Saw this article on the acceleration of block creation:

Anyone's guess how long this will continue.

65,700,000 currently.

I don't see this slowing down at all, but ACCELERATING.

1 PH/s will likely occur far before December 31st, 2013.

hash is definitely being delivered and not by bfl.

[braytz]

and not by bfl.

Than by who? I thought the only other person delivering hashrate was BitFury, and I have a hard time seeing them delivering 100+ TH/s in a matter of a few weeks. No one else has ever rolled out that much hashrate that quickly.

Do all roads lead to Bitcointalk?

avalon chips and groupbuy hardware comming online from assembly I would believe it were bfl if they had their jalapeno line caught up to current orders and singles caught up to 2013 but they don't and that is where the bulk of their preorder hashrate lies...im just talking out of my ass using opinion at this point....but so are they - until they can give us the qty of units shipped per day (they have no incentive to) we are all simply speculating where its comming from at this point.  I remember the avalon site saying that they had been extorted for hashing hardware in Asia maybe that could be it?

Hmm, looks like we will jump over 70 million on the next retarget in 5 days. These leaps are starting to become common.

Bitfury chips have contributed at least 120TH/s in over the last month. Probably quite a bit more.
