Now that difficulty is foregone conclusion to cross 100,000 (who woulda thunk?) please estimate when next ten-folding, i.e. order of magnitude increase, in network hash power and difficulty will occur?
(At current exponential growth rate it will be around 3 months time, Early August, 2011.)

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Correct answer ..... on the log10 plot it took 3-4 months to go from 10,000 to 100,000 so we can expect to cross 1 mill around august I'm picking.

From Bitcoin Charts: Estimated 419656 in 2012 blks
Although it's early in the period, so it's hard to say how accurate that is. Still doesn't bode well for people who rushed out to buy hardware.

I think it's getting confused because of the recent change in difficulty; it's presumably taking a moving average of the blocks found in some recent time period and then multiplying it by the present difficulty, not a weighted average of the past and present difficulties. It should even out relatively shortly, depending on the time period it's using to conduct the estimate. Probably correct. It should be interesting to follow it.

It looks like some blocks were found in rapid succession right after the difficulty change which caused that high estimate.

I've been working on a difficulty model, it needs some work, but I'm predicting November 8, 2011.

nice accuracy ... are you going to publish the model, i'd be interested to see it at least, probably others too?
