When I started mining with bitminter.com a couple weeks ago, their hashrate was around 2.5Gh/s, and the top miner, carpo446, had about 330Gh/s. Within the last week, bitminter's hashrate has doubled and is now at 5.5Th/s, and there are two people above carpo446 now... testtest and Karlson, both having about 700Gh/s. Testtest fluctuates from 600-700Gh/s every couple minutes and is currently at 750.
My question is, short of having a bunch of new ASICs (700Gh/s is roughly 160 Jalapenos) *cough* BFL... HOW can someone blow away 300Gh/s and get up to 700Gh/s? And with a name like testtest... is it possible that's BFL "testing" their ASICs?
