I was RIGHT next to anand once He was catching up cause he started cracking again, blew past me with his athlon (test bed), then, a few weeks later, the PhF came in. And now he's WAY ahead

 

[ctll]

last time i looked at these "forums", anand wasn't even barely cracking... glad he got it going.

 

[jatwell]

Yep, anand just passed me a couple weeks ago

dang PhF

 

[ctll]

what's a PhF?

 

[BurntKooshie]

PhF = "Phantom Flusher." Its monikered so because we don't know who it is, but someone is sending massive amounts of blocks through TA members' addresses, and even some DPC and SO/TI members are benefitting from this.

While we don't know who it is, we are nearly positive that it is a trojan, but it appears to be a "smart" trojan, as members' keyrates have tended to level off around 25k blocks per day each. Most trojans can be proved as such by an exponential increase in the keyrate of whoever's email address is in the client.

 

[ctll]

lemme get this straight: this PhF is giving blocks, not stealing?

 

[ViRGE]

No, he's stealing other people's cycles/resources to give us blocks.:|
