Where is "there"? It's not about an increase, it's about where you could possibly hide 250 GH/s of Scrypt hashrate, probably a lot more once the Vaporbreakers come online. That is 1/3 of LTC hashrate and about twice the hashrate of all other Scrypt coins combined. Before you tell us that they bought F2Pool or some other major LTC player eons ago, consider that ZenPool is paying nearly twice LTC profitability. So if Zen is mining LTC they would have to nearly double the hashrate to sustain the payments (i.e. if you bought 1 MH/s they would have to run ~2 MH/s for you behind the scenes). 51% anyone?
Really the only feasible mining operation they could be running would be BTC. 6-8 BTC blocks per day would cover their payouts I think. Still a massive operation like that wouldn't go unnoticed and it's unclear why this all song and dance about Scrypt is needed if it's just BTC mining. I also don't see how the high payouts would be sustainable in this scenario.
I like that theory...
A large-ish btc farm selling itself off as a scrypt farm making btc payouts... I'd much more prefer that than the alternative.. lesser of two I suppose.
Would make more sense due to even if they have a buttload of A2s those things are so power hungry they barely cover their own cost unless they pay like 5cents/kwh.. maybe? I pay 11cents and it's almost not even worth to run much more.
