Is that normal ?
- Why this is gonna happening ? The next difficulty seems to be ~690 (#litecoin vitbot):
network info [LTC] > Current Block: 370298 || Difficulty: 650.534914 || Next Difficulty : 692.4811 in 646 blocks - 1 Days 1 Hours 18 Minutes
- Why the network rate is increasing and the price is dropping ?
I always knew, it always said, that one can not attribute a close relationship, between difficulty and price action, but we are reaching a level where mine is no longer affordable, even for those who pay very little electricity.
Assuming that FPGAs and ASICs are not out there, not with large hashrates, at least, is it because of botnets? IMHO, yes, and botnets will destroy the currency. The master of botnets do not care if the currency is devalued and the difficulty rises, so he will not pay the current in each case.
I'd like to know how other people think.
