Title: ghash.io beyond 40% hashing power, no one is concerned

They have the power to double spend services or people who require <= 3 confirms with ease, check out their block history and count how many 3-block combos they have.

Who is contributing to this impending massive mess? When it happens are people going to be like "Oh wow we got ghaxed" just like with Mtgox in 2013?

Sadly, blockorigin is heavily inaccurate right now.  It's nearly 2,000 blocks behind because blockexplorer.com has been stuck for over a week.

EDIT:  Oddly enough, it's now starting to update.  It's still over 1.5k blocks behind as of this post, but it's finally moving after being stuck since ~December 28th.  Although it's going to have a lot of Unknown sources since it's unable to scrape the info it needs for some of the blocks that are many days old.  It's actually not registering a lot of GHash's blocks as GHash.io right now.

I messaged him. Maybe he was onto it already.
Agreed the unknowns need to reconciled before a true picture emerges.

kinlo was aware of it, the sole problem was blockexplorer.com being stuck for over a week which is required for blockorigin to work at all.  Since blockorigin relies on scraping sites to get the data, the long-term freeze means it's no longer able to scrape that information from some pools that don't have full history available.
