Man there are people hashing at 35,000 kh/s what is going on here... smells like asic script mining

yesterday I said that someone was hashing at 35,000 today I wake up and now we have anonimous hashing at 85,382 KH/S.. Do you guys know how much power consumption that would be if it was a farm. To me this is beyond a farm it has to be asic script mining. Even wit the best cards running each at 1300 Kh/s that would mean 70 + cards 15 motherboards who knows how many power supplies and lets talk power 290 per card thats like 20,500 Watts. Freaking Cops are going to flyover thinking is a weed house LOL. This is insane

Scrypt asic are in production, though not for sale, yet. I absolutely would be mining with my first test batches. Run dummy tests, or make some money testing them? In addition server farms that are meant to have graphics capabilities and are aware of crypto should definitely be pointing their machines at new coins. I forget the name of the sites, but there are multiple where you can buy games to stream to your computer that can't handle high end games on ultra. Have 1k computers, and only 700 of them in use? What to do with the other 300? Turn them off or make money? People love to argue electricity costs but profit per day does not compute when considering new coins at low difficulty. I've been paying my rent solely on that idea. My avg coinwarz per day is $20 but playing the volume/new coin game I pass $1k a week often--sometimes much more, sometimes get stuck with worthless crap. Can't imagine what I could do if I had a server farm that had graphics cards meant for streaming ultra setting games and was making money off both--and considering the hardware a business expense lol.
