The growth seems to be accelerating still, if anything:
http://bitcoin.sipa.be/growth.pngA solid 2.5% per day, which is +125% per month.
Perhaps the growth of the growth has tapered off a little but thats a bit meta to me and statistical noise at this point
Yes it is accelerating still, however the growth of the growth seems to have tapered off. Maybe it's just me hoping and wishing too much.
Anything is an acceleration this is still very much the GPU transition. There was supposed to be a 130nm, and 65nm stage, but we all know how that went and who received the lion's share of that (specific companies themselves, delay tactics, lies, etc.). This is about to be the peoples' real ASIC revolution. Viva!
I don't think the people are gaining much from this. The profit lies with the companies selling the miners, not the people buying them as they can only pray for ROI.
