I point my Scrypt miner to nicehash. For those not familiar, it allows you to sell hashing power for whatever pool the buyer wants, but there's no direct communication between buyer or seller. Nicehash just functions as a sort of stratum proxy and you mine what it sends you.

Usually for scrypt, it's litecoin, but all day, it's been mining something with an extremely low fluctuating difficulty (200K-24M, I saw.) A new block is generated about every 1 second. It's been like this all day, so someone's been spending a lot of money to mine some new coin. Anyone have any ideas? cgminer gives me the net difficulty and I can see when a new block is detected from the stratum protocol, but beyond that I have no idea what the hell I'm mining. Huh

-Scrypt based coin.
-New block about every 1 sec.
-Very low network difficulty (comparatively) (200K-24M I personally observed, there may be higher fluctuations as I didn't watch for that long)

Any Ideas?
