Title: Deebit at almost 50% again?
Post by: ricksta on July 06, 2011, 09:02:23 PM
Looking at bitcoin watch, it looks like deepbit is pretty close to 50%.

Not even loading for me, did they pull the plug? lol

Edit: its back nevermind.  I guess I should change pools... isn't this a big deal kinda?

lots of crap happening, btcguild got ddos'd, deepbit went down, I think bitcoinwatch will be a bit hectic for a little bit.

It's always a good idea to diversify the network as much as possible. It makes things less prone to attack, whether that attack be directed at the pool or the network itself.

I suggest moving from deepbit to one of the smaller pools. There are alot of good new pools starting up.  Ours is one:  www.bithasher.com

This is a sound idea; I've been mining with Triple Mining for a week now, and its been working great.  Link is in my sig.

BTCGuild is down, that's why...

yeah why isn't everyone flipping shit about deepbit right now? just a couple of weeks ago mining on deepbit was worse than being a pedophile.

i see no reason to "OMG ONLY MINEZ WIT DEEPBITZ FER DA BUTTCOENZ!". more frequent low payouts are the same as less frequent high payouts. there is a symbiotic relationship to profit vs poolsize, and it seems to be well below deepbits size.

There are still more pools. And i don't know why you dislike deepbit. So far i'm ok with it, since i'm on proportional and got low processing power.

No, I'm saying BTCGuild is down (or not at full capacity), so that's why it appears as though deepbit has 50% of the hashing power.  If BTCGuild was running properly, deepbit would be at 40% or so.

And I don't hate deepbit.  I mine on deepbit myself as well.  I've tried other pools, and nothing has matched the consistency and information available at deepbit.  I just like it best.

Sorry for misunderstanding your point :) I do agree with you.

now if someone gain access to deepbit machines it van kill BTC project, i bet that ppl working for the hosting company have no idea how much power they have

remember. it was the users that chose this.

+1.  Its all about pool diversification if we really value strengthening the network.  Sure, deepbit does a lot of things right, but for me I'd rather mine somewhere else knowing that by doing so I'm increasing the strength of the bitcoin network.  If the network is compromised due to nefarious use of the deepbit pool, the price and trust in bitcoin as a viable system will plummet.

Ideally, I'd like to see hundreds of pools, with the best pools holding no more than 10% market share of miners.

checkout mtred.com, zero fee, reasonable total hashing power
