According to SiaMining Stat, the difficulty recently has dropped from 12m TH to 7m+ TH.  Anyone knew why it dropped so fast?  One possible reason I could think of is be many A3 started to break down?


diff is being corrected after hardfork on 139000 block... so it will go down till reaching 10m block time

Not really understand what diff is being corrected mean.  Will this help on those A3 owner any?
Blocks can only be entered every ten minutes give or take a little. The current difficulty level is making them slower than the network dictates. So they adjust the difficulty "down" to quicken the block times. Normally that WOULD be better for miners, BUT, good ole Bitrmain just released NOTHER batch of A3's and is letting people buy 3 x more each than the last batches.
