Teenagers can't afford Avalons, and it's clearly a pool not a single location, so you don't know how many mining rigs of what size are involved, so everything is pure speculation.
They could if they started out GPU mining, or got in super early.

Im also guessing BFL. This was right around the time they finished their Single prototype.
I mean, it makes a lot of sense given all we know at this time (Aug 1st). They would definitely go to a lot of trouble to hide their efforts.

The BTC came from various locations in US and HongKong. One of the IPs looks like a hijacked server (maybe used as proxy): http://yojimbo.wktel.com/ One other looks like a VPN-Provider (http://boozepoint.com). Someone is trying to hide his ass here.
IMO bad for bitcoin unless we can reveal the user as non-threatening for the network.

Which implies maybe two things, not wanting to get caught or perhaps not wanting to show their cards.
Correct me if I'm wrong but someone could be hiring supercomputer time, maybe a tech is diverting power somewhere?

Could be, since they said all batch 2 units will be sent out until the end of the week (many ppl received their units in the past days) and this address stopped mining...
June 25, 2013, 02:45:14 PM
It was confirmed that Avalon was pre-mining with customer units... could this be them?

Today it's only one IP: 98.246.202.92, with 4 mined blocks going to the same address 1BxD2VLE95n7ZeVJSy3uoiJ5WdR72jWj5f and that address is holding 2,045.00200351 BTC!
Oregon?
And then 2 from the same address in LA. Interesting. I wonder if they are purposefully blocking blockchain.info from connecting to them so that their location is obscured.Oregon?
Did you send them 0.0101 BTC today?

These were no tor exit nodes. I check that. The fact that they stopped is another strange point. Who hides here?

I don't think it makes much difference. They're still processing transactions. It's costing them a lot to mine that quickly. And I think they were using TOR to relay the blocks. They seem to have stopped mining to this address anyway. June 20, 2013, 05:51:51 PM

I think bfl is "testing" the mini rigs
If you bothered to look at the photos and tour review that Lab Rat did of the BFL factory last week, you would have learnt that the Mini rig is still in prototype, they haven't built the things yet. You can see photos of the stage they are up to.

It could be Al Gore mining with the first computer he used to make the internet. That thing must pull like 20 THashes

Sending your successful block through tor must slow down the confirmation of the block a fair bit. There is a good chance a few of his blocks have been orphaned because of using it. There must be some reason to hide behind tor other than just to be mysterious. I know that the bitcoin botnet owner that posted on reddit a while back used tor to do everything through, control the bots, mine through etc. But the bot net must have grown considerably to be going this quickly if it is him. Could be a similar idea though.

If only there was such a thing as a proxy server to relay communications from remote locations... then perhaps we could make it look like they were all coming from one address...
or perhaps such a technology already exists, and is being used in the opposite manner?!
They are not Tor exit nodes if that is what you are suggesting, I already checked that.
I was thinking perhaps someone with the resources to rack up $200K in bitcoin in less than 3 months might be able to host a few boxes around the world to relay block remotely.

Good work detectives. I bet you don't know, as the block are coming from all around the world.
I know.
I know you know.
I know that you know he knows, but neither of us know how the others know it.
And if I once did, I probably wouldn't remember for very long, or even how I found out.
I know exactly what you mean.
