Is it just me or is this address (mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR) producing block very quickly on the test net. I'm not 100% with these calculations, but I'm sure someone will correct me soon enough Smiley  (please do)

According to: https://blockexplorer.com/testnet/q/hashestowin
it takes an average of 866076851417 hashes to win

According to: https://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mtLDA41NWe9rLm7nuMvAnTs2SbP49cz1ZR
this address is producing a block about every 10 minutes (this is complete estimation, by all means run the timestamps for me if you desire).

(866076851417 hashes/block) / [(10 minutes/block)*(60 seconds/minute)] = 1443461419.03 hashes/second

= 1.443 THash/s

Makes sense to me. They could be finishing up the testing on the Mini Rigs...if you have a Rig working, chances are all the other products work as well (since it's just a heap of all the other products in one big case). Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have some definitive evidence.

Either

1) BFL is gonna ship soon or
2) it's all fabricated

I'm undecided.

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive:

I don't understand how you fabricate that. Is there any way that it isn't real hash power? Or are my calculations wrong?

Well obviously they're going to turn them on at some point and try realistic tests.  Everyone's all like "The testnet will get damaged by a giant spike in speed."  Whatever, it's a freaking test net lol.  They're the ones that should be using it!

The only question is who has them in their hands?  There's only 2 companies that would based on the evidence and one's BFL.  Given each of their release dates, you just compare it to the development of every phone, gaming console, computer part, ETC.  If they're shipping in November, they have some in their hands now.  That's practically a law of physics when it comes to new product development.  It takes XX amount of days to test, box, label, and ship stuff so they do have some functional units in their hands at the moment but just barely.

testnet is resilient against spikes up in hashrate - unlike mainnet it allows lower-difficulty blocks to be found after 10 minutes

and why? why is this possible on testnet? --> Difficulty is 1 (Block 32626)

https://blockexplorer.com/testnet/q/hashestowin

4295032833 / 600 = 7158388.055

7,158,388.055 Hash/s = 7.16 MH/s

I kinda get that now that I think about it.  It's like you mine yourself into a crazy difficulty with like 1+ TH/s and then ditch it.  Now the only way to lower the difficulty is to mine XX amount of more blocks, which would take 100 years for someone just testing out a GPU or something.  So after 10 minutes he says, it resets the difficulty to much lower so other people can actually use it.  Tada.  I dunno what BFL was so worried about.  Mostly just sounds like BS they made up and as a quick excuse and they're gonna test mine on the main network primarily Tongue

It is real hash power, but it could be fabricated by using a large gpu/fpga farm or services such as GPUMAX.

Why would someone pay to redirect GPUMAX to a testnet where they'll get no return?

To prove everyone that ASIC is right there, by having someone noticing it and posting it on the forum.

If that was so the company would want to take ownership or have that poster claim ownership. There is none of that here.

It could be someones proto-type ASIC's the factor sends them a small batch to build the boards, the company then tests the boards and makes sure the chips work like they are supposed to. Then they start producing the production run of the chips. My guess is 1 of the 4 got the prototype chips. There is also a couple other things that could be happening, someone bought a lot of expensive FPGA chips and has them hashing at full speed, in theory a Virtex-7 would hash about 10x faster then the ASIC based on a stratix-3.

No, the company has no interest in doing so. There already are only a few companies, only one of those is worried about making their clients sure that they didn't gave money to a scammer.

You are correct.
However that dosent mean that I'm wrong, nor that being wrong will make me change my attitude against this community

You guys realize you can actually go to the IP address right?...you don't have to rely on DNS for everything...

Given the speculation thus far, my guess is that by actually going to 82.130.102.160 you'll be surprised by what you find..
