@Justaguy and @badenglishtea maybe some hard numbers for us? Development of current hashrate in comparison to remembrance of years ago, or connection count of the wallet while syncing blockchain. That could help to estimate its current acceptance out there.
The mood point is most of the trade volume originates from https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/19800/ which is market as a zero fees site, just a third originates from Bittrex at all! Small warning sign.

I think the volume of that exchange is to be dismissed for that reason (coinmarketcap listed it under *no fee exclusion for the past month or two- eventually they included it).

Regarding hashrate, there are lots of crypto sites out there with that info. But in general it had a huge dip upon switching algo, has a nice stable rise since then.
