I was trying to figure out why my overall Boinc ranking was dropping and I found this.
http://boincstats.com/en/stats/144/user/list/12/0/0 These guys make the Ripple Labbers look like amateurs. One user is racking up over 1,000,000,000 Boinc points per day. |

I could not see the top guy's machines, but the #2 guys machines are all I7-3770 @3.5ghz. Bitcoin Utopia must be awarding some wild number of points, or these guys are using some exotic add-ons to do their mining. The machines listed do not justify the points awarded based on cpu's.

They are using ASIC bitcoin mining machines. I'll bet those cost a pretty penny. Cheers

I suppose he uses usb asics for mining and these are connected via hubs. I've seen some using 30 and more on one computer or a raspberry pi.

Probably not using USB miners as there are TH/s (that's terrahash per second) miners available now with 1 company offering a 6TH/s miner for September delivery.
In 1969 I took an oath to defend and protect the U S Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and Domestic. There was no expiration date.
