Attention! Network Hashrate: 5587.19 MH/s !

Is this just booming or a possible 51% attack?

I’d say its just booming as I’ve notice an increase across a lot of pools! 8)
I know my pool has jumped about 150 MH/s

Here is a logical explanation from user [i]Kryptox[/i] over at Bitcointalk as to this increase:

hey look at that Difficulty=82

Network Hashrate: 5587.19 MH/s WOOOOOW!

Yesterday it was 2500!!!

That hashrate is incorrect and there was no jump. The network hashrate is calculated based on the average time blocks are found for a particular difficulty. Network was lucky and just found more blocks than it “should’ve” right after the difficulty change. It will taper out.

Thanks for clearing this up. I must admit I was a little confused myself as I couldn’t find any Pool that had a really significant increase in hashing power.

yep our pool is up over 270Mh/s now… just keeps growing everyday. Hopefully FTC will really take off like LTC.
