Someone is still adding a boatload of hashing power to the network and difficulty is still going up ~20% every difficulty increase.
I thought the difficulty increases would slow down after Knc finished shipping their November batch since 28nm miners from other manufacturers have been delayed.
http://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficultyDoes anyone care to speculate on who is adding all the hashing power at the moment?
The Bitmain Antminer batches seem too small to have a huge impact. I thought BitFury was basically waiting on more chips to be manufactured. AsicMiner doesn't seem to be doing much. BFL has overpriced 65nm products in stock, but I can't imagine that they are selling many. Avalon Gen2 chips are power hogs.
Where is all this hashing power coming from?
that is indeed a good question. anybody care to speculate? i'll try...
1. i think we see a private mining company wich products are unknown to the public.
2. Almost every Asic Manufacturer mines for them self too. Do we know how much hashpower KnC is adding for their own mine? So maybe the late december mentioned jupiters wich will ship from on stock are probably jupiters wich were mining for KnC?
