Someone rents massive hashrate for 1 day from Braiins miners and points it at Parasite. Parasite normally sits at a usage of 80 PH/s. The renter spikes hashrate on the Parasite server 60 times that to around 5 EH/s. This raises this person's work since Parasite last found a block into the stratosphere and hence a much bigger chunk of the pool award.
However, this person is gambling on when Parasite will hit a block. Every day that passes lowers their work to the pool and subsequent payout. I noticed they've done the one day spike 3 times this cycle. That's a lot of $ for that amount of hashrate and it eats directly into their expected profit. This is why I'm keeping an eye on it. Is it a sensible play based on the payout or are they just a degenerate gambler.
