26 GH/s on single rig Ethereum Mining

What rules are you referring to? No one is breaking any rule or law or anything really. This thread is a bad assumption about things 99.9% of the users here know zilch about.

Not talking about legality here, just the rules of game called ethereum mining.

That is the point... there are no rules in mining Ethereum that are being broken... some just feel it is unfair because they can't do it. Consider if you had to buy your mining software up front?

$200k a month!!!  Are we sure someone doesn't have a ETH ASIC rig???

The funny thing is the "rules" of ethereum mining are more like "laws" than legal law.

The term you are all looking for is PROTOCOL. Ethereum has a specific protocol for mining with its algorithm. Having a GPU farm, an FPGA or even an ASIC is not cheating or breaking any rule, law or protocol.

If someone does make an ETH ASIC, they won't run very long and ZEC based coins are going to start to get a lot of hashrate.

Hi,
   The question that's giving me goosebumps and sleepless night is how is this guy managing to get 26 GH/s with a single worker?

https://ethermine.org/miners/3509f7bd9557f8a9b793759b3e3bfa2cd505ae31

and this one 29 GH/s

https://ethermine.org/miners/558d2e1a5786848dfc24080aff7928da1c7d5c3a

It's possible that these addresses belong to the huge players in crypromining.
Genesis mining, Hashnest, Nicehash etc... all of these guys could run their ETH rigs over a single worker name

this is just another pool suffering downtime pointing all their hashrate to this pool

It is not easy to design ASIC for ETH, but it's possible, I also discuss with other guys for the possibility of ETH ASIC machine. It's possible but may not profitable, I see a lot of rumors for ETH mining machine these days especially when there is difficulty increase, someone jumps out and said "I heard there is ASIC machine for ETH", and then give me the video or picture to prove. ETH is going to POS at any time I guess, which will make mining Machine less possible.
