Title: Sudden Large Increase In "Unknown" Mining Post by: Jason on May 02, 2012, 03:40:43 PM Anyone have any idea what's going on here: http://blockchain.info/pools
When I looked at the pie chart just now, I see that 61% of the hashrate distribution is to "unknown." I've been watching this chart for the past 6 months or so and this is the first time that I've seen any slice on this graph exceed 50%. The "unknown" slice has been growing in spurts over the past several months though. I hope this turns out to be anomalous or at least not primarily the work of a single party.

According to bitcoincharts.com there has been a ~1/3 increase in the network hashrate over the last few days, which had me worried in combination with the (incorrect) pie chart from blockchain.info/pools. Thanks for the alternative reference. I'll use it as a cross-check in the future.
