And just one day since the adjustment it's perfectly stable:

Latest Block:   711813  (5 minutes ago)
Current Pace:   100.4257%  (166 / 165.30 expected, 0.7 ahead)
Next Difficulty Change:   between +0.1542% and +0.9847%

I think that the growth triggered by all the new gear and older gear that has found a home is slowly hampered by others who are losing their contracts, too many news and bits of dialogues over telegram pointing at such cases.
Hopefully (from my point of view) we won't be doing more than 2-3% the next two epoch till the end of year, so around 10Exa short of the ATH.

I know it's about an altcoin but still,it's related so, have you seen the estimates for the ETH mining?

I don't know how accurate is this but currently shows 93.11 TWh vs 199.08 TWh for bitcoin, even if we split as I kind of doubt it's accurate, that still ETH would gobble at least half of the energy BTC uses, and so if it finally goes full PoS, then...more cheap energy for everyone? Grin
