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. I clicked it, but... from Android. And for those who haven't yet it is a lmgtfy link to "what is a botnet"

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Ok, let's summarize: - It's not a classic botnet
Probably not, unless the botnet is running inside a corporation's network. - it's not a gpu farm
Why not? - it looks like something running in laptops/desktops and not servers.
What makes you say that? - it has the classic pattern of applications in corporate IT
Apparently. - it works on Saturdays!
Did it continue into Sunday? That "Saturday" was Friday somewhere. I bet for abuse of (a lot of) corporate resources... If so, it cannot be a single person... And this is really, really difficult.
What if it was making optimal use of otherwise unused corporate resources? I know of an FPGA farm that is used about 30 hours for the weekly regression run, but is otherwise mostly idle.

I was discussing this on the Liteguardian IRC with the pool managers. They mentioned the same thing; "He said he was converting a GPU farm from BTC to LTC." I also asked about the number of connections and they said that it was running through one connection. I'm guessing they meant IP or TOR connection. I'd like to know the number of "miners / zombies" connecting to the pool though. Next time I hop on there I'll ask.

He's pushing 1.9 GH/s on LiteGuardian. They must have set up a special server for him, the other servers add up to 2.6 and the pool is 4.5 GH/s now. VIP Prob not going to get a good answer, its in their best interest to lie about it since he's bringing in killer fees and finding blocks like mad. If this is GPU's, then I imagine guys running around restarting rigs and going crazy, as it fluctuates from 1.9 to 2.9 GH/s all the time.

I've noticed a bunch of new members of the top ten pop out of nowhere as well. There's been two new users that joined at the same time at 454,164 and 151,831 KH . In the past week I was bumped from 6-8th to between 20-29th. At this point I'm thinking these people do have a decent amount of GPUs, but it is some sort of exploit that's allowing users to manage the difficulty of their shares while liteguardian believes they're at the dynamic difficulty the pool sets.

It's just all the people realizing that chasing the ASICs for Bitcoin is a money losing proposition in most cases, while GPUs are still quite profitable with the right set of circumstances.
I've also dropped from 3rd at Coinotron to about 6th-12th.

Is it for real or I'm being trolled? https://cryptostocks.com/securities/54ok must be fake. using the scrypt algorithm while using our custom ASIC to Scrypt conversion technology.

I suppose I should have put quotes around their so-called 'prototypes'

Suspicious units, I expect cgminer to switch to Gh/s for such high speeds Exactly! Besides an ASIC chip that run at 45°C ? In my opinion it too low temperature. Conclusion: 100% fake!

I'd like to see the 25k blocks. The best share is only 88.1K.
