No it didn't. http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin-10k.pngI find it funny that blockchain.info has had numerous errors, glitches, and other problems over the last couple weeks and people treat it like the word of god on stone tablets. Lets see: blockchain.info says hashrate was instantly (as in a vertical downward line) cut in half nobody else is reporting that block times haven't suddenly doubled to 20 minutes on average what is the likely reason for that?

Because of price drop. At this current price mining is not profitable.

What "incident of Auroracoin"? And how does it relate to BTC hash?

I noticed that the ZeroBlock app is reporting a block time of 17 minutes, but being on my phone I haven't been able to verify how they've come to this conclusion. It seems reasonable that they could be estimate block time based on network hash rate as reporting by blockchain. In which case, this is explained by DeathAndTaxes. I'm just not sure where they're (ZeroBlock) is pulling their info from. Be nice if it was true

Who know what is going on? Whether it is a rumor.

never mind, i were thinking that BTC lost hash rate while AUR received enormous hash rate. But apparently they aren't related.

blockchain.info chart 30 minutes ago: it seems there was an error, everything back to normal now.

Yep. People are putting way too much scrutiny on a very new piece of software that is in development as we speak. Most bitcoin-related applications are still 0.X state.

ZeroBlock is owned by Blockchain.info, so it would make sense that they pull their data from there.

I've seen this exact thing before with the market cap graph. It's a glitch from blockchain.info...We will definitely see a decrease in hashrate due to this price drop but not that severe.

Mining rate is still holding strong so far. It's up almost 20% since last adjustment. https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

I only wish the hash rate dropped in half. Mining is so much slower than it was not too long ago..

Planning to launch Zimbabwecoin in the future. Focused on building a community around it now.
