Anyone know anything about the difficulty dip to 1280 (and the rebound to 1409)?

Ypool's pool speed doubled without much of a worker increase... Just curious.

Ypool is down for a few hours and the diff went down, then it bounced back after ypool was back.

Previously when Ypool was down no mining or block generation was possible at all. The 1280 dive and 1409 rebound phenomenon can be attributed (just a hypothesis) to sudden drop of large miners and subsequently recovered in short period. Current total of Riecoin miners on Ypool is about 5320.

There seem to be some new confidence regained among miners that are usually less than current total when the difficulty ranged between 1400 ~ 1450.
