WARNING! supercomputing has taking over the witness queue!

Been mostly supercomputing and rabbit since I started mining a couple of weeks ago.

Makes you wonder if that is some kind of bot net.

    doubt it. the white paper explains why this is unlikely. the hackers would have to distribute their private key with the malware and the miner requires a strong network connection which botnets lack.

      Well the mining instructions say not to use the same key on more than one witness so each probably has a separate key to begin with. Just a matter of sweeping the accounts as soon as possible.

      It could just be someone has installed in on every computer in some university labs or something like that too.

        Each node is finding a POW in 2-3 hours. You can't do that with PC using the standard miner.

          Agreed. Most likely he created a GPU miner.

            I noticed supercomputing was offline for a few days last week. I guess he was testing his miner with the new software. Now he has over 118 miners.
