Well obviously they're going to turn them on at some point and try realistic tests.  Everyone's all like "The testnet will get damaged by a giant spike in speed."  Whatever, it's a freaking test net lol.  They're the ones that should be using it!

The only question is who has them in their hands?  There's only 2 companies that would based on the evidence and one's BFL.  Given each of their release dates, you just compare it to the development of every phone, gaming console, computer part, ETC.  If they're shipping in November, they have some in their hands now.  That's practically a law of physics when it comes to new product development.  It takes XX amount of days to test, box, label, and ship stuff so they do have some functional units in their hands at the moment but just barely.

Either

1) BFL is gonna ship soon or
2) it's all fabricated

I'm undecided.

I don't understand how you fabricate that. Is there any way that it isn't real hash power? Or are my calculations wrong?

Is it just me or is this address (mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR) producing block very quickly on the test net. I'm not 100% with these calculations, but I'm sure someone will correct me soon enough Smiley  (please do)

According to: https://blockexplorer.com/testnet/q/hashestowin
it takes an average of 866076851417 hashes to win

According to: https://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR
this address is producing a block about every 10 minutes (this is complete estimation, by all means run the timestamps for me if you desire).

(866076851417 hashes/block) / [(10 minutes/block)*(60 seconds/minute)] = 1443461419.03 hashes/second

= 1.443 THash/s

Makes sense to me. They could be finishing up the testing on the Mini Rigs...if you have a Rig working, chances are all the other products work as well (since it's just a heap of all the other products in one big case). Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have some definitive evidence.
