This is bullshit, why the hell isn't bitcoin following the basic laws of supply and demand ?
What the hell is going on with the hashrate ? It can't be FPGA's yet and why the hell would people be throwing money at GPU's right now?
just weird.
Botnets / mysterminer, not much more makes sense at this time.
... butterfly / largecoin testing the rigs?
a lot of singles getting turned on?
lower electricity cost means they can sell cheaper to try and get rid of the GPU miners to get more coins for themselves...
I find it just a bit coincidental that when BIP16 came out about 1.5-2TH got removed from the network and then the same amount reappeared a while later which bumped the difficulty up to where it is now.
I suspect its the same user(s) who returned.
