I like how you have elaborated here, that's a good walkthrough of what happened.

Do you know how we can check the current network hashrate? My info is directly from viabtc, which I linked in the first post. Stats

It seems BCC is holding steady at 5.2exo and hasn't moved for hours, and the price is going up again.

If there was a substantial difference in hashrate, I would be earning more BCC, which I'm not. The difficulty should have recalculated already. Where can we view more live stats?

Thanks for the comments.
