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



He explicitly said he uses ASICs. And the hashrate of a botnet would not be that stable over 24 hour cycles.

How are people hashing that much? Are these generally companies? I can't even imagine an individual with 500+ GPUs

This address is a bit suspect for me, each time visit middlecoins www he have more Mh Smiley

I think that only using at least 400-450 units of HD 7990 you can reach that hashing power.

He is for sure working in the factory and each day after work he takes one with him through the backdoor  Tongue

500 MH/s is equal to 660 R9 280x's at 750k each.
