would someone who is clever than I please give me some network speed guestimates for year end please.
Between 2500 TH/s and 4000 TH/s
(30% jumps on each difficulty change)
This is conservative too.
30% increase each round for the rest of the year isn't plausible. It would lead to the hash rate being 11.15 Ph/s on the 31st of December with 2.573 Ph/s having been brought online in the previous 10.77 days. That's 239 Th/s coming online per day. Not happening.
