We've actually been running faster than Deepbit for the last 4 days straight everytime I've checked. I think Guild is destined to always fall into the #2 slot. Not a bad place to be, but never taking the gold
.
Is that kind of like "always the brides maid never the bride?" hahaha
Next weeks pool report should be interesting. Specially if you noticed 4 days straight BTCGuild is beating Deepbit.
I know Tycho has spent a lot of time banning Hoppers lately. I am sure this is a big hit to his hashrate. Just like any other prop pool.. they peek and fall from hoppers. I think the same is happening when more and more are being removed.
