The 3-day window estimate is above 15 TH/s

Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.

"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.

There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.

The 3-day window estimate is above 15 TH/s

For the record, the highest difficulty of 1,888,786.705353 was first reached at block 139,104, August 1, 2011:
 - http://blockexplorer.com/b/139104

Current difficulty is 1,866,391.305003 but estimates show that will probably go over 2 million in three days when the next difficulty adjustment period begins.

Oh sorry I was testing my round reduction attack on SHA-256.  Allows me to hash in 16 rounds instead of 80.

Technically, the highest difficulty's evaluation period would be the second half of July 2011:

Record difficulty: Block 139104 (2011-08-01) difficulty:1888786.705353
Current difficulty:  Block 189504 (2012-07-17) difficulty:1866391.305003
Current block: 191092 (78.8% of difficulty period elapsed)
Block 191520 (~2012-07-30) estimated: 2.1M
(last 120): estimated 2.5M

To keep with the tradition of buying high and selling low, I shall celebrate by dusting of my 5830 and firing it up! Going solo!

Back to the topic - this doesn't necesserily mean Bitcoin network has grown. It may be the same number of people mining on improved technology.

Hashrate increase is imminent.

Less power, more GH/s = better competition for BTC

Whether BFL holds up to their supposed hashrates or not, over time people will find better ways to mine.

This.
We've got probably upwards of a terahash of FPGA gear, and ATI's 7xxx cards are obviously better miners than anything that came before. Back in July last year I was running a few 5850s, getting 370Mhash each.
Now I'm running 7970s doing 580Mhash each with scope to push them to 680 if I wanted to...
