The only reason I can think is that Cisco analysis published on their blog?
Any other reason do you think?- I hope it goes down again. I saw it jump up to that at the last difficulty level and it's been hovering around 11 since consistently.

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

It called variance. Pools were lucky and solved 10 extra blocks in the last 24 hours. Network is still at 11.5 Th, expected to hit 12 Th in a week.

Aaaah ok where can you check that the pools solved those extra blocks. Also could you let me know where you were able to gather your expectation from? I would like to be able to estimate as well. Thanks a mill. |

Gribble is still showing us more or less on par to where we've been for this round:
[11:13] <@gribble> Current Blocks: 136089 | Current Difficulty: 1563027.9961162 | Next Difficulty At Block: 137087 | Next Difficulty In: 998 blocks | Next Difficulty In About: 6 days, 15 hours, 24 minutes, and 10 seconds | Next Difficulty Estimate: 1631293.15723098
There was a sight jump the last day or two but nothing awful imho.

"Why has the network jumper to 14 terahashes?" well i see ppl still discovering BTC daily and joining thier Mhash and Ghahs/s to the network there are even still ppl buying hardware to mine on. Depending on thier circumstances it could still be viable to mine. despite the in creasing difficulty I dont expect the hashrate to drop in the neaar future  others will have different opinions, I can only go on what i see daily at my pool and around the forums /netwrok |

If we were steadily chugging along at ~150 blocks/day, an extra 10 isn't going to cause the network to jump nearly 30% from variance. |

It's the Moore's law of Bitcoin. I don't think price matters, nothing will stop this law.

Mousepotato agreed.
but where do you see this 30% jump in the network, maybe I'm missing something.

Last I looked (yesterday) it was around 11.8 TH/s. Right now it's at about 15 TH/s. It could be a combination of my bad memory and even worse math skills, but I guesstimate that's close to a 30% jump. |

nevermind, you guys are probably watching bitcoincharts.com
anyone ever questioned how that number is calculated at their site? I know their formula is wrong or at least misleading. That number will show a big drop in the next 12 to 24 hours.
Network is still at 11.5 Th, expected to hit 12 Th in a week.

I have a hard time believe it's just variance/luck. It was a *very large* spike.  |

Yeah, I was referring to Bitcoincharts. I've always had my doubts about the accuracy of the network numbers (the exchange rate numbers are pretty accurate though) since they've often been off by a TH or two with regard to Deepbit's hash power. |

There's no way this increase is variance, some serious hardware is coming online...

I think it's too big of a swing to be simple "luck".
What is going on? Did some large cluster just go online?
1 or 2 Thash is a lot of 5830's.

And I don't think the SIPA charts are pulling figures out of thin air, either. Their figures have matched up quite well with eventual difficulty increases. You can see there's an obvious change between the right-hand side of the chart (today) and a little bit to the left of it, where it's often "below the line". Ain't nobody THAT lucky! |

Mining isn't as unprofitable as some people seem to claim.

I think we have a hidden "big player" in bitcoin mining... It has a lot of GH/s power and is turning it on just before difficulty increase/decrease to make mining more unprofitable. That way it knocks out small miners and will free its mining process in the future.
What do you mean about this?
