As a new hobbyist miner guy I can't believe how fast difficulty has gone up...

Started mining mostly LTC in late March, difficulty was 78ish... and it's looking it'll go to 285 in two days. From 78 -=> 280 in about two weeks.. ! Pretty insane. Glad I'm just really enjoying it as a hobby and didn't drop too much into hardware..

Look back at the BTC graphs in 03/2011. Pretty much the same thing as CPU miners switch to GPU Mining and a new boatload of miners piled on.

Well if the network hashing power goes up by 14%, then so does the difficulty...

Difficulty is adjusted so one block is generated every 10 minutes. (If network hashing power doesn't change.)

Right, but isn't increase by 1 mil too big? Though I am new to all this, what do I know

7,673,000 (+14.6%) current

So what are we to expect? how much slower block generation on average?

Perhaps due to BFL ASICs finally starting up as well now...

Like what, one unit? Wink

Most should still be ASICMINER/Avalon. And maybe old GPU rigs getting started again.

Haha, yeah what's the point of BTC rate going up 2x if difficulty goes up 2x also.

The question is will the next difficulty increase come in under a week if all the Avalon units kick on and ASICMiner gets fully set up. Either a bad string of luck or some GPU Miners already quitting since 1 day into this period and the estimate is a little down from current difficulty.

As usual, BTC Guild can take a bit of the credit/blame for the inaccurate estimate. We were running close to -40% luck the last 24 hours, which as far as the network estimates are concerned means around 4 TH/s disappeared after the diff change. Don't be surprised if it swings the opposite way and you see an 8 TH/s swing in the other direction after another day.
