So this is best described as organic growth then.
Anybody aware of the giant vibration of mining difficulty?

Yes, The coin about double in value in the last fews days so it got a lot of hash put at it. I have two ASIC miner one on a multipool and the other on a coin. When I see the multipool switch to Unobtanium I point my other miner on it and when the multipool gets off Unobtanium I point one at the other coin. The multipool that I use changes once every 20 minutes so it will pound on the coin and move it's difficulty up.
This is the reason which causes Uno's average block interval is only 1/4 of the designed value
Block reward of 1 coin per block, halving every 102,000 blocks and finishing with a minimum subsidy of .00001 after 612,000 blocks. Maximum of 250,000 coins ever.
We just got past another halfing (current block count: 205411) so since there is less to mine that also brought up the price. In another ~100,000 blocks the rewards will get cut in half down to 0.125 per block.
