Hashrate UP = Price of BTC UP ? Cheesy

If that is how it works in 6 months we are going to all be rich:)
If this were the case it would make more sense to invest in buying more BTC.....than getting an ASIC,lol.

I'm thinking that Many Asics shipping+EU debt crisis=volatility for BTC increase=Buy more BTC,lol.

+1 LOL

Out of all the pools I have used I would trust BTCGuild and Ozcoin with 51%+ of the network.
I cant see either one messing with things but I do understand why they may not want 51%.

Unfortunately, simply trusting that an entity with 51% will not misbehave is not good for the network.  It's been said many times that if somebody did have 51%, using it maliciously would be foolish because they'd be tossing away guaranteed future revenue for a one-time network attack.  However, that doesn't change the fact that it is still a risk they will use that 51% power, and the perception alone could be bad for Bitcoin while that risk is present.

I owe my soul to the Bitcoin code...
I am hopeful that ASICMINER places their next batch of chips on another pool (or splits back 1~2 TH/s with another pool like they used to before the hard fork).

Let us hope so for the laziness of the mining masses.

Either or.  Just please spread it around a bit.  Its not the only stratum pool out there.

I remember people would howl about Deepbit way back when it was seriously dominant.

It seems BTC Guild has an extremely large Chinese userbase (something I had no idea about until recently).  Since Avalons are heavily concentrated in China at the moment, it's causing a significant imbalance.  I'm waiting to see what happens now that Avalons are starting to get confirmed overseas in greater numbers.  The current massive hash rate imbalance is mostly the result of the regional preference for BTC Guild in China, so I'm hopeful that over the next month we'll see them hitting other pools to level it back to a more manageable point.

I am hopeful that ASICMINER places their next batch of chips on another pool (or splits back 1~2 TH/s with another pool like they used to before the hard fork).

Worst case scenario, I've already announced that getwork will be prematurely dropped from BTC Guild if we get too close to 51%, which will at least slow down the growth by removing ~3.5 TH/s.

By my rough approximation, over half the network is now ASICs.

It seems the Avalon crew really likes BTCGuild.  So much so that they are getting closer to 51% of the network.  Please spread it around guys.

I doubt it, more like difficulty up.  With an avalon it only takes 0.0010 USD of electricity to produce $1.00 USD at the current difficulty.

Either price is going to go down in the coming months, or the network hash rate/difficulty is going to increase 100 fold.

3 day average say we've gained 11TH+ in the last 3 days

Fast forward 12 months:  Do you remember when we thought a 11 Thash/s spike was something notable?

Gentlemen this is what we call variance and thats all it is untill the 7 day average confirms it.

BFL ?

Should only have added by now 300*60ghs = 18Ths.

AsicMiner ~5ths

Ps : I know could be nothing but a luck streak, still, new asics is more probable.
