https://www.weminecryptos.com/forum/topic/372-asic/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). In that ocasion i bet for Tianhe-2's admin trials with tests of the supercomputer confided to him http://top500.org/lists/2013/06/Just imagine - bosses are having fun in vacations, but some admin that knows the schedule of super-computer and found the window of low load decided to "test" facilities with LTC search task 3 million 3GHz cores compares to nearly 4500 items of HD7970. Just one weekend makes 4000 LTCs.

One word, botnet.
yeah, i finished reading topic In case of botnet, the competitive groups of hackers should appear soon - they will declare war on each other for botnet resources, for each node, because each node brings a profit. Do you think this war will reveal hackers? Half a year of mega-profits and no known hackerz-warz for the nodes? -- unbelievable. I operate a ~10k botnet using a ZeuS software I modified myself, including IRC, DDoS and bitcoin mining (13GH/s - 20GH/s atm) 20Gh/s botnet with power of 30 items of HD7970 a year ago? and now very quickly it grew up to 3000 HD7970 ? -- unbelievable. botnet mined BTC for over that 3 months having LTC profit x2-x3 than BTC and botnet owner still stayed on BTC? -- unbelievable. Antivirus companies keep silence on this and cannot do anything to stop this botnet? -- unbelievable.

This botnet is an abomination to human kind (and crypto miners ) We need to find: 1) Who it is 2) What it is 3) Where it is ANd then KILL IT !!!

If a botnet is a problem then it show a flaw in the coin. Fix the coin since trying to kill all botnet is a waste of time.

I don't think that statement should even be graced with a response.

Produce hardware that can mine many magnitudes more efficiently than what the botnet has access to. For the record based on the chart I seriously doubt it is a botnet in the general sense (general purpose trojan and rookit). The day to day changes in hashing power are too consistent. A botnet will consist of tens of thousands of nodes and the % that is online is constantly changing. Some nodes are killed permently and the botnet is constantly recruiting new zombie nodes. The graph looks nothing like one would expect for a botnet. Now maybe someone misuing corporate resources? Maybe.

By using ASIC technologies thus making the hardware used by botnets obsolete. Maybe there is other methods, I don't know. My point is only that you can't eradicate all botnets. If a coin is destroyed by them then it was flawed.

The graph looks nothing like one would expect for a botnet. Now maybe someone misuing corporate resources? Maybe. Ok, let's summarize: - It's not a classic botnet - it's not a gpu farm - it looks like something running in laptops/desktops and not servers. - it has the classic pattern of applications in corporate IT - it works on Saturdays! I bet for abuse of (a lot of) corporate resources... If so, it cannot be a single person... And this is really, really difficult. We need the help of a pool operator for sure. Fascinating.

It could still be a "classic botnet", but the rapid changes could just mean that they are all pointed to a stratum-proxy server out there. The botnet controller can just change the single proxy to point to new pools whenever they want and just keep the same worker name(s).

Here is another possibility: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSVo4ejZ7rcCan someone do the math about ROI, and it's hashing power? $420000 a piece with about 700 GPUs if I'm not mistaken. video Uploaded on Feb 6, 2010 I wish I had such a rig for Bitcoin at that time!

OK, everybody who blindly followed this tiny URL (from within a thread discussing botnets, of all places), slap yourself at the back of the head. HARD. If you were running Windows, also kick yourself in the balls, maybe that'll teach you.
