Hello, I'm a small miner on Slushpool and I noticed that Slushpool hashrate fell from 10.02 EH/s to 8.7 EH/s early this morning, which is ~ -13%. But yea, that's a small pool and could be result of BTC price drop.
Just the fact that the percentage of that drop would be the same as the global claim, meaning that Slushpool would have an exact distribution of worldwide miners make me think it's more of a coincidence and that it's the other way around, the drop happened for a number of reasons (including something in Kazakhstan, and a drop in price) but poeple are starting the other way around, taking a drop from a few pools and then extrapolating it to make it look like all of that was hash rate that was cut out of the network.
Unless I'm going to see 125 blocks in 24h I'm not buying this 13%, the current pace is -4% and it's already been 26 hours since the blackout happened at 5 pm local time on Wednesday.
