The network hashrate is way higher right now then it was a couple weeks ago. A very large amount of miners have been added, possibly switched over from Monero when profits were lowered there recently.... hopefully not botnet crap. :p
Unfortunately, it's botnet. We can't find aeon pool where sitting these added 5 MH (increase from 2.5MH to 7.5Mh just in one day), now aeon mining profit threee times lower than even on shitty bytecoin
