This  reminds  of of a  article  i read  a  few  days  back, of a  company introducing  a 1000Gh liquid nitrogen cooled  mining  rig.  was  about  to   post  that here but  can  find  the link  any more.   (I  should  start  bookmarking  this  shit)

Serious!! Couldnt find antything in the LQN space.

Please elaborate.. That is exactly where this is headed!

What are your sources? What is your theory based on?

It might be another group trying to troll, but this coincides with them saying they were going to get another 200 jalepeno boards this week. 500kh/s would be half of those boards running at once.

And what exactly will 500 Khashs do for a company?

I do a bunch more than that and still feel small Sad

200 Japs is 1 Thash btw.

This is a FuDdy DuDdy accusation on BFL.

Pls get over it.

I literally just made an account to point this out... If you go to 50btc, set top 10 mh/s to users you'll see #4 is BFL hashing at 539983 mh/s. If I had to guess, they might be on a few other pools as well.



In case you're lazy. I noticed a cut the other day on my 24 hours hash rate. Today decided to investigate and boom, BFL is hashing at half a million hashes per second.

How do we know that this is Butterfly Labs? Anyone can have an ID called BFL

and that big red bar could be a big rig or a botnet*.

*bots connection coming to one server and then it gets forwarded to pool from server.

that guy who started the thread is plain stupid. The globe showing mining nodes inaccurate. Most people mining in pools. Biggest miners in China but that globe did not show any miners in China. If BFL want to mine, they will do it trough VPN server in China and they can mine on any pool, as Chines miners, no nobody will ever know it is them. Also no any pool operator will surprise to few new terahash suddenly coming from China.

But where are the chinese mining pools located?

I never heard if such pools, they are mining on slush, on bitminer and a lot of hash on btcguild. Those pool's  servers mostly in USA.  That is IP from where hashing coming to pool what is important for pool operator, if it is Chines IP then it is OK, or understandable as new ASIC owner.  that is why you cant see anyone mining in from China on that map.

Agreed. That was my reasoning when I saw the map and saw no miners in China.

If BFL really did mine with the hardwares then they are mining some thing else some secret cryptocoin that they are pre mining because otherwise the increase in hashrate would be insanely high already.

hence the OP is a fool +1 Smiley

BFL, mining bitcoins with their newly created ASIC's for which many send money as pre-order ?

Cheaters, mining coins with others people money & increasing hash rate & difficulty ?

The red/black line over USA.

The globe is really cool, will be fantastic if it shows hash rate also.
