Title: 3 Blocks in 13 Minutes
Post by: deeper-blue on March 20, 2013, 10:21:35 AM
Take a look at these payout addresses:

39 solved blocks in the last two days -> ~13% of all blocks -> ~13% of the hashrate:

5.8THash/s... that is quite a lot.

Does anybody know which pool/miner is that?

That's probably butterflylabs running their minirig SC's to mint some extra startup cash before they deliver them to their customers. They've waited 9 months... what's another few days?
(totally joking)

Joking aside. That is exactly how I would do a 'burn in'-test before shipping.
Also it would be great news if they finally got something running.

I just finished building a BSIC rig out of parts I found at a hacker space.

Looking at the IP those bloks are generated at, it seems to be in Chicago, where incidentially most of BFLs chips are supposed to be sitting right now "waiting for assembly" :P

The IP addresses mean nothing - it's from where the block got relayed to blockchain.info's node - nobody knows through how many and which other nodes it got transmitted before reaching that IP.
