150mh/s ?? Where is this coming from?

it seems some miners with more than 150M hast rates want to join GRC. check the hash rate tomorrow.

just start mining now, otherwise, it will be too late.

yes, I am sure. some big LTC miners have 700M hash rates. That is quite normal.

on the other hand, if they join with full power, it will destroy GRC. I try to persuade them not to use full power at the moment. Otherwise, I won't be able to mine anything as well.

I persuaded them that, now they are using only less than 10M hash rate. they do not want to destroy GRC.

It would not "destroy" Gridcoin even if 10gh suddenly jumped on. The difficulty algo is responsive enough to adjust upwardly to compensate and back down if they left. Hopefully they would be able to get the proper amount of BOINC utilization on each rig to maximize their mining. Any size hash rate would be welcomed since it would strengthen the network and increase beneficial research.

I know them in Ripple forum and they were running boinc anyway even without GRC.

I show one of them start mining step by step on one rig, and I see the boinc utilitzation is nearly 100 when they the first time mining GRC.

If one big miner with 700M just jump in, no others can mine anymore somehow. Majority of people will lose interest in GRC I am afraid.

If he has that many rigs, I'm sure he is using Linux on them as windows is limited to 4 GPU's per computer. I don't think he can mine this coin as you can't mine with Linux yet.

he has 155 rigs with E3 CPU and different GPUs with windows installed. He is a computer seller he said it is very common that several people he knows have more than 700 M hash rates (his friends and colleagues).

When he says 700 mhas, I assume that is for Bitcoin sha alog, not scrypt.

Ok that's odd for him to do that. I know if I was making a farm, I would be using 8 GPU's per motherboard and installing Linux.

I would also make them local servers so I can control them all with 1 computer.
