The hashrate is jumping because after losing their butts mining the latest crapcoin scam they are pointing their rigs back to bitcoin.

Wherever it came from, it's happening! (cue Ron Paul) ..and it's new hashing power.
Yeah, something is happening, and it's very interesting to see it happening at this point in time. But we can be pretty certain it is not AM with generation 4 hardware. Theoretically it could be the rest of gen 3 coming online, but I don't think that AM put any money in that anymore since they could deploy gen 4 massively in February/March! |

New hash comes online every day via a variety of manufacturers and sales. Hence the track record of endless increases in the hashrate since ASICs were released. However, for a period of months a fairly large amount of hash was diverted to crapcoin.This led to two months of rather atypical stability in bitcoin hashrates. It was being pointed to crapcoin faster than new hash was coming on line and so the diff even dropped. Now that it is all being redirected back at btc we have over two months of growth showing up all at once. It makes it appear as if a bunch of new machines all just appeared out of nowhere, but like I said, it is just two months of growth showing up in just a few days. Of course it spikes the hashrate. You could easily end up with a 40% diff increase by the time the dust settles.

Antpool is at 15-16% of the network. Last month IIRC, they were around 5%.
Its safe to assume this spike (ignoring the more recent drop because of paycoin) is caused mainly by bitmain

Man I'm glad I totally slept through that whole Paycoin thing. It seems like a lot of people got scammed there, right? It seems to be one of the most intricate pump and dumps yet, doesn't it? Don't the founders get like an exponential reward? Isn't the whole thing inflationary? |

At this rate the market is going to be begging for mercy one way or another Anyways the year is young and AM is Chinese so at least bitstamp getting hacked is not going to affect operations much here (Except if they need to use funds to convert to USD) |

Paycoin wakeup and Bitstamp hack is the news for the difficulty and the price. I am happy to agree with Kipsy89 as I have learned about Paycoin just a few days ago and "missed the train"  |

It's 2015. Are we going to see some financials soon? This is ridiculous
There are only so many reasons you would delay a financials release. |

Yeah Paycoin seems to be rather scammy to me, as well. What Bitstamp is concerned, I believe they will pull through, though - don't you think? Gox was worse by orders of magnitude... Even if they couldn't cover the lost coins, getting back 85% is a lot better than 0%...

BitStamp said they have more than enough in cold storage to cover all the losses. |

BitStamp said they have more than enough in cold storage to cover all the losses. Yeah I know, I was just asking whether you guys believe that. I actually do. I think a loss of 15% can be managed. Gox on the other hand even lost more than they even had in the first place. |

I guess their VCs will have to bail them out? That's terrible news for them if that's the case! |

yes. wasnt the big news for them the fact that they secured 10 million in VC funding? Half of that gone. poof. that could be irreparable. I sure hope not. They are good guys but I wouldn't like to see them "finish last"

Well Venture capital is there for those unfortunate events... Still I hope were not writing new pages a few months from now about how this was a secret Ryan Kennedy operation and to fund their operations gap they transfer ownership to a scammer like Moolah did. |

I don't mean to argue but, seriously - venture capital is NOT there for such things! It is there to make a return for the investors. PERIOD. Insurance policies are there for such things! |

Yes and occaisionally negative returns - Solyndra Amp'd Mobile lost ~ $360million. (edit Solyndra lost considerably more for VCs) There's a fairly long list of VC funded companies that are now bankrupt. Fortunately for us, Asicminer hasn't sought finds from venture capitalists... at least not according to the last financial statements  |
