I dont think that it makes sense to deploy TH that doesnt hash because of difficulty because the next difficulty is calculated from the average hashing from the last. So at this time it would be a disadvantage only to have asics that dont hash because difficulty will rise only a bit less but you could have earned more bitcoins hashing the previous time. So i doubt thats the reason.
I hope it keeps growing...

Are you drunk?
What are you speaking of? Is my english too bad or do you think it makes sense to keep a half TH away from mining only to not push the difficulty too high the next time it rises?
No, it is not your Denglish (I am German, too). Your comment just doesn't make any sense to me, even after reading it for like 20times. ^^ Maybe I am just too stupid... :/
May I translate?
He's saying that he doesn't see any sense in holding back deployment of hashing power until after the next difficulty bump, with the intent of _not_ increasing difficulty. The reasoning is that the difficulty adjustment is based on the entire 2016 block period, so a network hash rate bump in the last day or two would not have a significant effect on the size of the bump. And the conclusion is that we'd (asicminer shareholders) would be better off if hashing power were deployed as soon as it was available.
I haven't done the maths, but my gut tells me if network hash rate was constant but for our new power then this would be not be true - we would be better off deploying after the bump. However in the face over a variable hash rate other hashing power being deployed across the network, I think his argument makes sense.
Thanks... you interpreted it correctly. My writing was really a bit confusing...
I think that 0.5TH mining for some weeks will have a very slight impact for a higher difficulty next time. Even if you would mine with that lower difficulty later the higher earnings will be lower than the earnings you would have earned while mining the 2 weeks with 0.5TH.
And @vortex1878... this was an answer to:
And I think friedcat said that they've deployed 0,5TH "extra" which is not hashing due to network difficulties.
which implied to me that friedcat could hold back hashpower to get a lower difficulty next time. But when i read it again i see what memvola meant. JimiQ48 spoke about the network problems asicminer had that prevented them from deploying more hashpower. Misunderstood this...NOW I get it. Peace.
