I think they are M/Hash not G/Hash, and judging from the numbers they look like they could be Jalapenos. 

People seem to forget the fact that ASICs themselves are not only for Bitcoins nor are they owned exclusively by butterflylabs.  This could easily be another company etc.
Easily?  Hell no!  It takes months to code the driver and working software let alone design the PCB, etc.  They'd have to have been doing it in secret for quite a while.  I think this is either a fake pic or someone playing a joke.

What bitcoin speed calc lists their numbers in kH/s? I would assume they're measuring in MH/s, in which each working would be close to 50GH/s.

Their 10million and 17million shares would seem to agree with me, as it wouldn't take long to get those numbers.

I bet 90+% most likely this is just a couple of people doing it for the lulz... now if it was 500 gh/s.... it'd be a little more believable. but 45 ghash.. it'd EASILY be just a couple of folks with mining farms.

Who's ASICs are 45-48GH/s? And if they did have ASICs, why would they advertise it so blatently in the team name, admin, and worker names. I smell troll.
