Topic: Flurry of blocks from 24.211.152.165 - page 3. (Read 6094 times)

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a zombie node reporting blocks for the entire botnet.

Seems like the most plausible explanation.

IP 24.211.152.165 hosts kensenter.com (a blank page)

http://bgp.he.net/dns/kensenter.com#_whois


And it seems he doesn't like monopolies, so you guys better ask him what is he doing with 10%+ of the network hash rate already... Expecting a C&D?

HOLY CRAP!

http://blockchain.info/address/1JQR7BM3g1p83eXT9EqwsecvfNhDDzQefx

Those are the addresses where the coinbases are being paid.
That's some rich fellow, that guy

Blockchain.info says they got 6 blocks in 7 hours. This means almost 2 terahashes of computing power. Are they still using the same IP or did they switch to another? Hashing power seems to be dropping but it could be only variance. Either way, these guys are not solely responsible for the 5 TH increase, I'd wager variance had something to do with it and probably some weird reporting on bitcoinwatch skew the graphs.

Still, 1.5-2 TH of computing power just came online.

To 17 even for a minute.

TLDR: Probably someone from North Carolina! AFAIK bfl is based off KCMO.

It's the internet service name of Time Warner. It's a very popular ISP in Kansas City Missouri. source (stayed in KCMO)

Well someone on their networks is obviously trying to stay one step ahead of Wile E. Coyote on other counts too.

my friend google says
This Road Runner wants to stay one step ahead of Wile E. Coyote in delivering high-speed cable-based Internet acces
https://www.google.com.au/search?sugexp=chrome,mod=16&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Road+Runner+HoldCo+LLC

an isp...

Who is Road Runner Hold?

http://bgp.he.net/ip/24.211.152.165

If their promotion is true, they could just be testing ASIC, no plural...

Maybe they are testing ASIC's 

Also hashrate rises quickly .... 11000 - 16000 in 2 hours

Conspiracy theory time. Is BFL testing all its minirigs or do we have a new botnet?

http://blockchain.info/blocks/24.211.152.165

There's a flurry of blocks from that IP today.
