So, I'm CPU mining on Frozen on the coinmine pool.

I see users with hashrates of 20,000, 50,000, and much higher than that even.

How are they accomplishing this? Are they botnets? Are they network admins? Are they cloud computing clusters?

How?!?

Some people have access to lots of systems. I mine on 6-10 computers and hit 5-7 MH/s, because I have access to them, along with mining on cloud servers. If I really wanted to get into it, I could write a little batch file to mine during idle time on work computers (probably add another 40-50 systems) and no one would ever know. But I'm happy with what I have right now.

CPU mining is susceptible to botnets, yes, but I havent heard of anyone doing so yet.

I never fully understood why it is just CPU coins that can be botnet'd. Would a GPU botnet not be less noticaeable?
