7th October weekly pool statistics

Well, it seems that Deepbit has lost the top place for the first time in a year! Or maybe not - the 95% confidence interval for the weekly hashrate of 50btc.com is +/- 500Ghps. Still, it's very close.

The top three pools' total hashrate is just over 50% of the total network hashrate for the first time in a while, and the network hashrate has dropped, too - along with another increase in difficulty.




Average hashrate:
Average hashrate = Total shares / Total round time

Luck index:
log(% of network blocks solved / % of network hashrate)

Luck index = 0 is average luck
Luck index > 0 is good luck
Luck index < 0 is poor luck


Weekly average round length as a fraction of difficulty:
Average number of shares submitted per round / difficulty

Figure 2: Chart of network hashrate, hashrate of the largest mining pool, combined hashrates of the three largest mining pools, and a line representing 50% of the network hashrate. Handy if you're worried about 51% attacks.
