last run has begun! 25 BTC is coming...
The network has come a long way. only if it sustains this growth and more!

Bigger numbers are better.
You heard it hear first.

The 7day window is already at a higher high!

Back to the topic - this doesn't necesserily mean Bitcoin network has grown. It may be the same number of people mining on improved technology.
This.
We've got probably upwards of a terahash of FPGA gear, and ATI's 7xxx cards are obviously better miners than anything that came before. Back in July last year I was running a few 5850s, getting 370Mhash each.
Now I'm running 7970s doing 580Mhash each with scope to push them to 680 if I wanted to...

Hashrate increase is imminent.
Less power, more GH/s = better competition for BTC
Whether BFL holds up to their supposed hashrates or not, over time people will find better ways to mine.

To keep with the tradition of buying high and selling low, I shall celebrate by dusting of my 5830 and firing it up! Going solo!
Hurry up...if you're lucky you might make 15 bitcoins before the reward having later this year!
...but if he's going solo, it's 50 bitcoins or nothing.

Current difficulty: Block 189504 (2012-07-17) difficulty:1866391.305003
Current block: 191092 (78.8% of difficulty period elapsed)
Block 191520 (~2012-07-30) estimated: 2.1M
(last 120): estimated 2.5M

Oh sorry I was testing my round reduction attack on SHA-256. Allows me to hash in 16 rounds instead of 80.

we've had 10 blocks found in the last hour. the hashing problem is apparently too easy for the miners to solve right now

The 3-day window estimate is above 15 TH/s
For the record, the highest difficulty of 1,888,786.705353 was first reached at block 139,104, August 1, 2011:
- http://blockexplorer.com/b/139104
Current difficulty is 1,866,391.305003 but estimates show that will probably go over 2 million in three days when the next difficulty adjustment period begins.
