Switch your botnet over? I don't run a botnet, I use company resources, Sugon cluster (300 nodes, around 300kh/s). I dont think this is a botnet, the diff went up too fast, someone might be manipulating the diff. algo ...

Might have something to do with these large swings that can be found here -> http://monero.net/xmr_network.htmlI am not sure either though.

hard to say what it is. since the rise seems to correspond with the "normal" oscilation, my guess is its the same entity. maybe they upgraded the zombiebots, but this wouldnt go so fast. maybe they just allocated more zombies and the botnet these people control is much bigger. maybe they just rent it and got themselfs even more now. no one knows i only speculate
anyway the oscilation is interesting. heard many ideas, someone who steals recouces at night/day is my best explanation. but if its office/company equipment mining, weekends should be visible. but they are not, so maybe its something completely different too..

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

Some entities pointed some serious power towards our little gem... Crazy power.
Maybe they've got the hydrogen helix memo?

Sweet. Weekly MACD about to flip, hopefully the other times it went positive will be of reference: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FC5K9SwX.png%3F1&t=665&c=7yryGWLsFz3WcA)

It was a great memo. I hope many people receive it.

why not the other way around? just curious? There is a degree of effect in both directions but the price to hash rate is more direct. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252.msg13434783#msg13434783However, other factors can affect hash rate such as the price of other coins that can be mined with the same equipment, so the relationships are always noisy.

Chainradar shows 154... on August 30, 2014. But if someone queries the blockchain database they can get an exact number for the highest difficulty on any single block.

I hit three blocks in a row again, with less than 300kh/s ..

Seems like block propagation is the issue here, once you hit a block probability you get the next one is higher than it should be.. EDIT : This needs to be looked at, pools or anyone with high hash rate might find a way to exploit this..

EDIT : This needs to be looked at, pools or anyone with high hash rate might find a way to exploit this.. It's not really "higher than it should be", there is no "what it should be". Yes probability to find a block is slightly higher if you know the previous one before anyone else, and it's not an exploit, just a fact due to propagation times. I doubt this is having a meaningful (visible) impact with 1mn time blocks, but anyway the network will switch to 2mn blocks next hard fork (March).
