Very nice GPU farm. Nothing more.

not gpu farm, imo. most likely a cpu botnet. not sure why pool owners allow this, but it is what it is. I'm sure if you check his/her stats throughout the day, you'll see large fluctuations indicative of PCs coming online, or going off.

Any idea how much it would coat to get 200k khash/s?

but it needs to have thousands of cpus infected to get that

I tink difficulty is going to double again soon :-)

@40kh/s ( A high number for cpu) you would need 5500 CPU's all going full throttle.

Imagine closer to 15-20kh/s (still a high estimate for random POS systems that are infected) and you are looking at over 10k infected computers.

It *could* be a botnet. But it would be a rather large one at that.

I've been using that pool too, and it doesn't fluctuate from what I've seen, the admin already banned them under the same assumption and then un-banned them. Really would like to see posts with pics of their farm if it's not a botnet.

I'm going to estimate on the VERY LOW end of 7970 hash rate. The likely hood is they have much less gpu's than I calculate, and such make even more profit.

To get that hashrate with 7970's, you would need ~400 GPU's at ~513kh/s each. That only costs 188000 in actual gpu cost, +28000-36400 for other computer hardware cost. With those put in ~100 machines, he's making amazing profit even at this difficulty, much more when it was easier.


Average time to find a block   0 day(s), 0 hour(s), 14 min, 37 sec
Coins per day   19702.32620327057 FTC
Hardware break even   69 days
Power cost per day   $201.60 + whatever AC/building lights cost
Revenue per day   $3231.18
Less power costs   $3029.58 -AC/building power.

It's very likely it's a company that built the farm for bitcoin/ltc, and hopped on ftc with the insane profitability.

And that's at the current trading price. Not what future price they are hoping it will get to.

whats the problem of botnet? If people allow he to use their cpus to cooperate why not?

botnets don't ask people, they infect them without consent.

Regardless, the hashrate hasn't flucuated so I assume that it may be a real farm. Probably a 20GH/s bitcoin farm that moved over to altcoins to make more. There are people on this forum that mine with 100GH/s gpu farms.

There are people with big big big gpu farms:

This is obviously a botnet. Someone in hackforums pm me selling 10k pc with miners for only $150 in libertyreserve.
