ASIC Testing on Scrypt?

[blazin8s]

I just caught this on wemineltc.com.  Nearly 2 million KH/s from a single user.  I think it's fair to say that's even a bit excessive for a typical botnet.  Or is it not.


Maybe someone out there testing the waters on their programming skills?

Botnet, a borked miner sending a shitload of stale shares.

My guess is that someone has written a nice new virus for GPU mining and wrapped it into several games or other programs available as torrents.  You can imagine if you seed a copy of a new game that's popular and 20,000 gamers download it, achieving such a hash rate is quite easy.

Still holy shit, that dude is making over $5,000 a day...

And they say crime doesn't pay

He was at like 2.6 million last night

Why not solo?

Stratum exploit?

1,920,385 kh/s is equal to x3200 HD7950 working on 100%, but such load makes it hard to even use PC. And not every PC has such expensive VGA.
So if it is a virus, it has tens of thousands PC infected. Botnets with this amount of bots are VERY risky, hard and expensive to use 24/7.

Maybe just admin uses fake stats, to grab LTC from pool (or another exploit).

An admin of Wemineltc said he talked to the guy and he is supposedly "moving his hashrate from BTC to LTC"

And it's not fake. In 14 hours, LTC difficulty will hit over 1,100 for the first time (as far as I know).

It seems fairly straight forward for the guys @ wemineltc to see what's going on...

Large miners will have upwards of 3 or 4 cards per mobo, meaning at least perhaps 2MH/s from each miner connected...

If that account is seeing tens of thousands of connections with <1MH/s chances = botnet.
If that account is seeing a couple thousand connections with >2MH/s chances = GPU farm.

Perhaps I'm missing something but seems quite straight forward?

and if it just one connection or two?

this is weird, because with all this power he can mine without a pool...

meh, i got my answers on cryptsy chat

[superduh]

what the ? who has spent over $600,000+ on their miners!? and has an industrial mining operation
winkeloviii (shakes fist)

[superduh]

btw, can't the site admins check his "info" or is he using tor

[digitalindustry]

I could have a pretty good guess as well , barwizi .
