Actually bringing that many machines on line that quickly is a testament to their protocol and design. Some one is very efficient and kicking ass.
Umm sarcasm or shill? You're seriously giving them accolades for how quickly they apparently screwed us? Do you even re-read before you post this swill?
edit...
Either a) Hashfast has a large number of shill accounts, b) cognitive dissidence is strong in bitcoinia or c) I'm finally going crazy.
Not sarcasm... and not a shill. Just calling it as I see it.
It is clear that HF can be very productive when its THEIR profit on the line.
There is a sick fascination for how efficiently they are minimizing their losses and maximizing ours. I fully expect that the growth of the eligius address to increase to ~285TH (a complete 550 Baby Jets + the 10TH they started off with). I think the Rev2 board thing is a smoke screen... they just want to mine the crap out of the machines up until the very last moment of their deadline. They are looking at >~125BTC a day at full strength, and I don't expect any of them being shipped early.Edit: All this speculation turned out to be indeed speculation... pool operator of eligius confirmed that while wishful thinking that FH had that many boards to ship... they were in actually still developing the PCB.
