I haven't checked the graph in a while but clicked on it anyway. I'm surprised people were complaining about Slush's luck, BW.com is running about 3 times the hash rate 9 vs 30) as Slush right now but didn't find 3 times the blocks (16 vs 39), ouch!

I agree though a little decentralization never hurt.

We need people support the small-ER pools.  Not the small-EST pools.  That's the real problem.  Your options these days are a few chinese pools with extremely high shares of the network, or other pools with ~3% (or less).

The small pools continue to shrink because when a small pool hits bad luck it lasts for days, and there are a lot of people who leave them after that and never come back, picking to go with a giant pool instead because when they have bad luck it only lasts for a few hours due to their size.

You use a site that isn't run by lazy people.  Blockchain.info has never been accurate, and has had no valid excuses as to why it refuses to become more accurate when it is trivial to do so.
