Any thoughts on why somebody with 12PH just recently decided to join Slush's pool? It doesn't appear that this person wants to mine BIP101 blocks if I am reading the graph right. Maybe he/she wants to cast his 12PH vote against BIP101?
Once you "hover" over the bubbles you can see the user count. Slush's total rate is dominated by less than a dozen total users as I read the bubbles.
0 fee + NMC... But yes he could run his own pool... F2Pool would be more of a vote against BIP101 since they say "Core for ever" or something like that...

In case no one has noticed, we have only ONE (1) pool member who added an average hash rate of 12.27 PH/s. If you look at the bubbles on the "System Stats" in "Pool Statistics" you will see the large bubble with 12.27 PH/s. That one user has almost half of the pool's entire hash rate.

Just to be sure. This is just my paranoia since my XT node is attacked on regular bases... And that is on what I'm basing that. Pool numbers do not support this... Normal variant and luck... But I really can't figure out why are we going up so fast. The only thing I can think of is XT. But numbers don't support that. But they could if new miners don't know about the port...
That variance cum luck can be a whatsit when it chooses ..... But the rate jumping could just possibly be that non-BIP101 fans would prefer more blocks for the default thus switching to slush (and not pointing to port 3301).
I know there are some extremists (verging on terrorists!) when it comes to BIP101, but the flip side also sees reasonable people who choose the power of the vote, and that ONLY slush offers it could indeed be the simple explanation for the new pool hashrate burst not voting BIP101.

My guess it that it is ether block withholding attack since we support BIP101(based only on attacks on my XT node not pool data) or new miners coming to mine BIP101 but lack of instruction on pool site put them at wrong port... It started with first XT block. And I moved my miners because of that. But it could also be some miner in US bought a lot of S6+...
I am not usually quick to jump the gun, but you could be right on the pool being a victim of a block withholding attack, only to the extent that pool luck has not been markedly improved by the more than doubling of pool hash ..... then again, it may be ealy days still as its only been a few days since the hashspeed burst.

Why do Slush support XT? Is there an announcement I can read about Slush's instance on XT?
The operators don't really do much with BCT anymore. Instead, check...facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MiningBitcoinCz

Now the pool is 30 Ph/s.
Can't be Bitmain testing S7s because they would point at their own pool.
Maybe it's a whale come to enjoy the 0% fee?
If it's a whale coming to enjoy the 0% fee I'm surprised it took them so long, and wonder how fast they will leave once the normal fee returns? Maybe the hashrate will stay in the 25-30 Ph/s range which would work for me!Can't be Bitmain testing S7s because they would point at their own pool.

EDIT: would be nice to know % of the votes...
Slush have added that to the 'hash rate per location' graph. Right now it's around 3PH from 24 totalAnyway I think the problem is also that there are no instructions at https://mining.bitcoin.cz/help/#!/get-started/getting_started so I guess some of new hashpower is mining on wrong port...
Something showing in a dashboard would help a lot...
EDIT: I had 2 of the miners on wrong port and I know about that... I guess this is a bigger issue as I thought...

1000 blocks is almost exactly 7 days. The first block mined just fell out of the window.

Yep ... hash rate just shot up +8PH in the last couple of hours ..... hope that comes hand inglove with improved luck to boot!
Well it was 16PH. So +6PH. It was going up from 14PH ever since first XT block was mined...Its probably trivial, but it was a tad under 15PH (14.86PH and now 23PH+)
EDIT: Seems to be dropping though .....
It's still at almost 24PH at the time of this writing. That's a huge increase from yesterday.
This is not trivial. The question is it new hash rate, or just shifted from another pool?

Is there a way to know XT QT based on this graphs? What is cat? mining.bitcoin.cz without location specific setting? Or is this XT 
August 24, 2015, 07:24:55 AM
If you look at the 'hash rate per location' graph both US zones have increased, so it is most likely they have switched to the backup pool ... soon they will go back and away

New miners coming online?
Damn that was a huge jump...
