Title: Question regarding Mining Pools Vs. Bitcoin Clients Post by: niemivh on June 16, 2011, 10:11:22 PM http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=350x200&chd=t:10.32,4.83,31.23,51.57,2.04&cht=p&chf=bg,s,00000000&chl=slush|btcmine|deepbit|other|Eligius
I might not be understanding this correctly but if this "Other group" were a bunch of government super computers (or enough of the "Other" group was in order to constitute a 51% of the network) could they fork the chain or whatever and corrupt Bitcoin? Am I not understanding that correctly? Is it just the client and not the miners that process and verify the transactions? Title: Re: Question regarding Mining Pools Vs.

Other is just the solo miners. The pooled miners work for the single client that belongs to the pool operator. Title: Re: Question regarding Mining Pools Vs. Bitcoin Clients Post by: niemivh on June 17, 2011, 03:05:52 AM Believe it or not, this chart was from earlier today.
