Hashrate dropped a lot again.
Looks like they have some serious problems there.
I wish they would share what's going on.

Its price is not a very relevant factor in its adoption....

The last 6 hours have been ugly, around 15TH

It would be nice to know what is happening. Others are wondering as well as when our hash rate drops it slows down confirmations on the network since the difficulty is so high.

It went from 38th to 15.

It looks like hardware/electricity problems, right?

The miners are hosted in shenzhen area, china, aren't they? Seeing that it's close to 2am there, I think we can pretty much rule out electricity issues like rolling blackouts, which would only take place during times of high demand, which should normally not be in the middle of the night.

I would argue along the lines of a restructuring of the hosting, maybe new racks or similar. I would even go so far as to say that he is preparing for the next generation of miners to go online. Any kind of restructuring would potentially mean powering off significant portions of the active miners, relocate (replace?) them, and then bring them back on, which would explain the huge jumps of the hashrate within a couple of days.

as always, just speculating, though.

Maybe he's "getting it on" with some chick in the data center, and they keep unplugging miners by accident.  This would explain why it's happening late at night..

any idea why the am blocks have less transactions in them?

also i have a transaction that by mistake i put without a fee, and its waiting in que, but i sell alot of space in blocks, isn't the limit 1mb? the blocks are average much less i dont think i ever even saw a 500kb block,

but recently the transactions per block has been raising, especially in the mornings here, pretty wicked stuff!

In the last hour we found 3 blocks, isn't it good?

It dropped from 15 to 10 now Sad

It really is no problem if they are testing stuff etc but tbh it kinda scares me.
I picked up shares for the first time very recently at the highest price and this doesn't look good.
Another week like this and the price will drop a lot next wednesday and i will be forced to sell again, which i really don't want to do.

Please do us a favor and let us know when you're going to sell, we'll be happy to be there when the price falls!

Getting mixed signals.  Undecided

This says we're back up to 21%: http://blockchain.info/pools
This says we're falling again: http://www.asicminercharts.com/
This says 17% and last 6 hours not good: http://www.asicminercharts.com/live/

Where's the most reliable and up-to-date data?

They all come from the same source -- blockchain's json API.

http://www.dpcapital.net/blockchain/?hours=1,2,4,8

You can change the querystring "hours" parameter if you want to look at customized views.

Shows 46 TH/s for last hour right now.
According to http://runeks.dk/bitcoin/ that's higher than ever by about 10 TH/s.

According to http://runeks.dk/bitcoin/ that's higher than ever by about 10 TH/s.

Again -- you have to know the sample size that he's using.

http://www.dpcapital.net/blockchain/?hours=24,48,72,96,120

If you look at that, you can see the 24 hour sample size matches exactly to that of runeks.dk/bitcoin.

In other words, at the current difficulty, it will take 46 th/s to find two blocks in one hour.

Just so everyone knows, all of the ASICMINER data that is presented is inferred. Because they (ASICMINER) do not post the actual hashrate, we have to infer the hashrate from the number of blocks found in a given timeframe and the difficulty.

If we did know the hashrate, we could do fun things like determine the probability of finding 5 blocks in an hour at the current difficulty.
