But that doesn't prove he's using a GPU the name would imply he has access to some massive CPU resources. He might be someone at a University or with access to a supercomputer.
Maybe because it's summer there is some downtime on whatever supercomputer they are using.
If this is true, I hope someone releases a public version. Otherwise, a small group of people will have a complete monopoly on mining, which will not be healthy for the steem economy.
It doesn't prove it but it's a plausible theory that someone has figured out how run the steemd program on a GPU and is now running it on a powerful GPU rig. The steemd program is open source on github. Someone with moderate to high c++ programming skills could adapt this code to run on GPU using something like CUDA or OpenCL. This could theoretically yield hash rates 10 fold and on a multi-high-end GPU rig you could have multiple GPU's on one system, yielding 600k-1200k.
Ummmm please elaborate. Is this something you know or are you just speculating?
He has 31 sequenced places in the queue right now. So 31 times his hashrate was higher than all others. Therefore I am assuming his has a GPU miner.

You are right but it proves that the 31 sequenced places in the queue are coming from one machine.
:O Is that available?!

OMG, he just added 30 more, 60 in total :S
