so ETH hashrate up....what....almost 10% in a bit more than a week ? wow
ASICS A10 AND OTHERS
Since we are phasing out the 4gb cards. There is no other explanation.
LOLMiner and others have added the ability to keep mining on 4GB cards, abet at reduced hashrate.
I'm sure the hashrate would be up more like 50% in that week, if enough cards were AVAILABLE.
I suspect SOME of the hashrate jump is from new ETH ASIC miners selling out fast, and part of it is from older ASICs turning profitable and getting turned back on - but availability of even 2 generation old GPUs has cratered which indicates a LOT of the hashrate jump is sale of new GPUs and folks with older CPUs turning them BACK on (if I had the power available where I'm at I'd be firing the old R9 290s back up here).
