Large bitcoin mining farm mining 4 blocks a day having made 1600BTC

probably is Asciminer

ASICminer has publically known addresses and pays out dividends whereas this farm is keeping them all at one address. It's almost definitely AN ASIC setup since the alternatives would be ridiculous at this sort of speed but unless they are going against what they said they'd do and share the profits of each part of the company then it's not them.

I read a thread somewhere that bfl was using clients deposits to create and fund their own mining operation FIRST ergo the delay on delivery. Could this be them?

OooooooPPs  I missed page 2. Its already alluded to by others .

[tokeweed]

its cloudhashing's test run.

[Dougie]

its cloudhashing's test run.

$160,000 test run?! Are you basing this on anything or is that just a hunch?

[tokeweed]

sorry. just a hunch. i mean there's cloud hashing and the ones already mentioned here.

so who else?  and the thing is, its there and its real. so yeah, cloudhashing is one of the candidates imo.

[rammy2k2]

maybe its a huge botnet ?

[tokeweed]

its probably selling bitcoin down too.

[iANDROID]

maybe its a huge botnet ?

With almost 4Th/s?
This means:
4'000Gh/s-> with 250Mh/s on average with GPU mining -> 80PC running 24H at 100%

No need to apologise, I'm just wondering if anyone actually knows. Speculation is good too though and it seems like a good theory. I'd have thought they'd be publicising their power though to encourage people to buy into their scheme.

More like 8000.

Maybe the CIA finally diverted enough budget money to get their mining farm operational. It takes a lot of money to fund foreign puppet regimes. Does anyone know if the mining is originating near Langley, Virginia?

How many 7970's would it take to do that kind of number?

I assumed the previous answer assumed it was 2GPU/comp

The Cost of Freedom (in BTC)

1. Name of any goverment agencies you trust.
2. A well known politician that isn't black.
3. A well known female cleansing product that isn't a bag.
4. Name of goverment agency you fear the least.
5. An activity you enjoy.
6. The name of an company involving a winged insect with a very attractive website claiming they manufacture pre-orders ASICS.
7. Least favorite Pop Star
8. Favorite Sugary breakfast cereal.


This is a true story, all named individuals involved have testified and are on file with the DOJ.
I apologize for my poor dyslexia, I have horrible spelling.


The spike was mastermined during a late night _(Cereal)_ crunching session between _(Politician)_ and the well known _(Pop Star)_ , the _(least feared Government Agency)_'s top operative. They must have realized the imminent danger _(Activity You enjoy)_ poses to freedom for American's everywhere. It was then decided that extreme measures were justified, after all America was founded by men of action.
Thus the conspiracy was born.
_(Pop Star)_ gained access to the _(winged insect ASIC Manufacturer)_ 's CEO using their fame as the way into the secretive operation while buying the lowest pre order available on e-bay for an absurd amount of tax dollars $$ for no reason anyone has been able to identify other then future personal financial gain. Once in _(Pop Star)_ had been well trained at Guantanamo to use _(Female Cleansing product that's not a bag)_ as a Jack Bauer style improve torture. The CEO quickly caved to what can only be described as imaginative and depraved form of torture that justice department lawyers approved as a Geneva acceptable. Once broken he was theirs and has been working for them.


Now you know the truth. What you do with it is up to you.

I have both cereal bowls from the night it all began. I will auction them starting at .000000100000000000000 BTC in a thread starting at 11:59:59, july 3rd 2076.

^ i dont get it.. is this a troll post?

[Paladin69]

Goddamnit BFL needs to move their ass and ship.

[Dougie]

Aynstein, that is the most bizarre post I've read in a while... A very cryptic way of saying who you think is mining!

I've been looking at where the IPs are generally located and I don't think you can say anything for sure. I just think the mining operation is a fairly well connected node (but not connected to blockchain). You get some looking as if they've come out of America, some from Europe, some from Russia and a decent number from Japan and China.

By this graph the big miner in Japan seen last week is gone:

But now we see new miners in Shanghai, and that island is Taiwan(where chips are made)(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228677.0)
