The GHash.IO mining pool is currently as big as 42% of the entire Bitcoin mining network. That is cutting it awfully close to 51%, and we all know what that could do. If you don't know , this could lead to a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network, allowing the double spending of Bitcoin and devaluing the currency completely.

Is it dangerous?
