the pool and accelerate the pumping that was going on. It is kind of a psychological boost.
Just a theory, not making any accusations.
If I was a part of a group of pumpers that is exactly what I would do, it strengthens the idea in people's minds that there is going to be increasing buying support and you strengthen the feedback mechanism thus perpetuating the pump.
If there is an organized community behind the pump I am almost certain they would have rented mining equipment to boost the multipool for added psychological effect.
Keep your eyes on the multipool to see if there are any large fluctuation in hashing rate. I saw a couple or large jumps when the pump was going that made me
very suspicious.
Maybe my imagination is just running wild, but keep watching the multipool.
Those jumps are server reboots (we did some last night) and coin switches. This is why LDG is working on version 2. Keeping 11Gh/s stable is no picknick. Expect the hashrate reporting to be off.
However, last night we paid out nearly 3000 different addresses (thus miners) that have been on the pool over the 24 hours before that. We cannot fake 3000 miners. 11 GH/s = REAL.
Now can we move on and work on the infrastructure some more ?
