How much hashing power do we need?

You guys know how long the retarget might take?

oh yea hey that was an easy answer! HAHA!

i would like to postulate that we are actually better getting to the next target [i]without[/i] temporary help
i may be wrong, but now that we are doing retargets each 504 blocks, if we can establish a base line of more permanent miners (vs those attracted by one time bounties) then the retarget logic that bushstar put in place will be able , over a few cycles, to get things back on track where we are making clear progress without the need for temporary miners/bountiesat that point we’ll be able to attract new long term miners , again vs the fly by night coin hoppers that can actually cause problems with quick hash rate changes

[/quote]I agree, while the bounties helped us get to block 33,000 and this was a good thing, we don’t want to become dependent on them, a slower but natural progression is better if you ask me. We’ll get there, only 71 blocks to go.

You guys have had my axe (rig) for 2 weeks now. I’ll keep it mining at FCPool.com. :)

If your a heavy hasher we could use another! almost half the speed of vern’s pool right now :/

52 blocks left. Maybe a small push will bring it within 2 days.

[/quote]It depends entirely on how many block average is used for the adjustment. I don’t recall reading or know if it was posted but seeing as they have current network hashrate on the stats page showing previous 60 blocks, I would tend to err on the side of caution.
If the 60 block average is used to calculate retarget, then the last 52 getting a significant boost could destroy our 41.4% difficulty drop but perhaps they are using previous 504 block average. If anyone knows which, I’d be interested to know.
[/quote]It is only the stats page that uses the 60 block average. Retarget is calculated from the previous 504 blocks.

[/quote]I’m not really a heavy hasher. Just have 1 7950 doing around 500-550 KH/s all day. I’ll check that pool out though. :)

[/quote]Still much faster than my 135kh/s gtx 660!!! :p
