So our top miner is hashing at over 800 MH/s. That's between 1200-1250  7950 GPUs. I would be interested to know how he/she is doing this. Data center would be too expensive unless he/she owns it.

They commented here before stating that they are using ASIC miners. They also said they have 2,000 MH/s and they are only directing (at the time) up to 500 MH/s here. It's a partnership where one partner wants to mine on middlecoin while the other does not. Personally, I think it's a botnet, since those have been appearing all over different LTC/scrypt pools. There's a big discussion about it a few pages back.

Im going with botnet as the hashrate has been increasing over time at a steady rate (ie. new machines getting infected).  They have over doubled since first starting mining at middlecoin.  Pretty obvious imo

I think this is a misconception. I don't think that guy (sfire) ever said he was using asic's. He has been giving alot of info about asics as he's chinese and it's all being developed over there, but I don't think he ever actually said he was personally using them. Only that they have 2000mh/s in their factory. Some thing that is achievable through alot of GPU's.
I could be wrong here so don't go easy on me if i am. lol
