@socalguy said in Difficulti is going to high and to fast:
Well, Burst Mining as we know it might end around that time. Especially at the pace, the network is currently growing...
Read a few other posts where punters have complained about the netDiff reaching 20k (quite recently). Now, the Difficulty regularly lingers @80k+. Eg. Earlier today, just one snapshot [netDiff = 86k].
As the netDiff charts show, this takes the mining returns WAY down. Eg. Transactions per Day /Chart - One Month View [1m]. Sharply down ~80% from an average of about 7.5k /day (over the past several months) - to the current value of ~1.5k /day.
The intra-day fluctuations are odd too. It's not as if some huge, commercial storage facility could burst-mine during quiet hours. That might work with spare CPU capacity, but not HHDs - since the drives need to be dedicated /Plotted in advance.
... Update - a few hours later. Not the highest, just one that I happened to screen-shot.

[ netDiff = 107k ]+ Strewth!
