Welcome, miners. The top story this week is DeepBit's very strange drop in hashrate mid week. Is this because of DeepBit's well known attempt to remove pool hoppers from the pool, or something else? The loss to pool hoppers chart will be inaccurate for DeepBit this week due to the large change in base hashrate.
BitMinter continues to increase it's share of the network hashrate, one of the only pools to see a significant increase in hashrate this week. They also continue to have good luck. Suspiciously good luck. I suspect human sacrifice to the god of the blocks may be the answer here.
BitcoinPool did not solve a block this week and so are not listed.
Average hashrate:

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