The sudden increase in the hashrate makes it evident that ASIC's are mining ITNS now and it's something that needs to be dealt with asap. 14th May is a month more from now. Just imagine the effect of ASIC's in a month. The difficulty will rise so much that it will be difficult for small miners to sustain.

Difficulty retargets pretty quickly, it doesn't need a month.
The reason we didn't set a earlier date for the fork is because we are rolling out a bunch of blockchain features that need proper coding and testing, all consolidated into block version 4. This is to avoid multiple painful hardforks.

I, for one, am cool with this. I did have to stop mining ITNS because of the ASIC invasion, but I'd rather see progress made on the core features than a hasty attempt to thwart the ASIC bastards. Besides, Dark Gravity Wave (or whatever you use for difficulty retargeting), seems to be doing a bang-up job of thwarting them already.

me too, waiting for good news from DEVs. the diff is too hight

say "hello" to 20 mh from asics
