The idea that a huge increase in the hashrate of any one given algo only affects the diff of that particular algo and thus magically levels the playing field is also ludicrous, unless, that is, there was a major undocumented change in the DigiSpeed update.
Wait a minute...are you saying that the hashrate of one algorithm affects the diff of other algorithms or are you saying that the fact that it doesn't doesn't level the playing field?
You're one of the DigiSpeed update coders, you tell me. Don't you think that is the logical direction of information flow? Are they completely independent of one another? Total aggregate hashrate of the combined 5 algos means nothing in the dynamic adjustment of each individual algo's diff? Each algo's diff is completely independent of the others and is dependent exclusively and only on its own hashrate?
Please don't take this as unfounded criticism. My numbers suggest something very different from what you suggest, and I think that my analysis is quite rigourous and merits serious response - I'm asking for clarification and/or documentation so I can better understand; I am not attacking.
Your analysis may very well be rigorous, but I can't find your analysis - only your conclusions and a rough description of your sources. If you want a serious response, post your source data, the conclusions you derive from the source data, and any required logical steps that go beyond "basic math skills". I shouldn't have to re-do all your work just to have a conversation with you about the results.
That's exactly right: you should do your own work, especially since you haven't already done it on your own and of your own initiative. Or do you think I'm here to work for you? I've done my job by alerting you to the fact that with basic math skills and the data source mentioned (that is freely available to the public), anyone can confirm it. It's your problem, not mine, if you don't care, and judging by your attitude, I guess it's just that, correct? If you don't care, why should I?
In any event, it's a moot issue until the first question above is answered.
Thanks in advance.
