Can anybody confirm who and what this this 2600 Giga is ..
1)Is it a ex BTC miners ?
2) Is it a botnet ?
3) Is it the real deal
4) is it a new FGPA farm or 800 rigs ?
Is it growing

... Do we need to send a Predator missile strike against this new threat

1) It IS an ex BTC miner.
2) Probably not, CPUs are extremely terrible at mining LTC
3) It is, cos he's finding blocks
4) FPGAs are hardly faster than GPUs, even in BTC land. THey cost just as much if not more, but they take less power to run. It's their only advantage.
