I think the reason why the difficulty stayed the same is because if you look at ETH hashrate, it went up by 300,000MHs, which is about 15,000 280X, each 280X uses about 175 Watts so about 2,625,000 Watts which at 0.50W/GHS is about 5,250,000 GHS.

So its accounts for the 5PH/s loss in BTC hashrate.

well we are - 3.49% that is about 38.39 ph

there are multiple factors

ETH grew
PPC grew

Weather is warmer not then the jan 22 to feb 14 runup

Unknowns------ Ghost cities in China with ghost mining

A chinese farm did get busted stealing power.

Someone had a 3 week 1 cent power contract and ran older gear for the Jan 22 feb 14 time solt.

Then turned the gear down

Just don't know whats up.

we have 3 hours to go and we are at 3.49%

good luck to the close ones.

ETH and PPC are a good point. If we could get some alt coins that truly bring profit and ROI on machines.... would be good as miners to have more the just BTC to mine profitably.

I don't believe the one about stealing electricity. Just someone saying they saw a tweet... seems to good to be true. Also I think they would get gear out of there quick and to another location. So would be temporary.

I still have a lot more questions then anwsers to go from 13+ to this... still just don't get it.

I have another much simpler theory.... Which is that during the second half of last Period the rate was dropping all the way. Because of this we actually had an overcorrection of about 3.5%. I think we have actually been flat for this Period, disguised of course by the usual variances, and have now had payback for the overcorrection?

You're assuming that 100% of the Eth mining is being done with psu's that were taken from active bitcoin miners; I don't think that's an accurate assumption.
