what happens when f2pool and antminer merge?

[Bytekiller]

and they have more than 51% hashpower

Contradiction in terms.

What a contradiction? p2pool and antminer have together about 45%

I guess you mean F2Pool. P2Pool is basically decentralized pool mining where miners really solo mining but if they find the block they share coinbase with other miners in P2Pool, currently under 1% of found blocks.

F2Pool + AntPool is 46% in last 4 days. Why should they merge, any info for this?

I have not heard anything but I could have missed news.    I would think they would stay separate F2 allows ether now.... so they are not just BTC.  I just see F2 as a pool with more then BTC.  And I don't see antpool moving into GPU mining support... so I don't think there will be a merge.

But eve if we hit 51 percent the community has shown in past with ghash they are willing to move and stop any chance at 51 percent atttack.

There is no financial benefit for the two pool to merge. When they merge, miners will leave, they will have 30% at most.

I think both pools are really owned by same people, but have different operator/manager.

What would make you think this?  They are very different pools really just look up payout.  One does merged mining and shares transaction fee's, other has a lower PPS percentage option.  So there are some differences.

I don't think they are owned by same people unless you know something everyone else dosent.

F2pool did a split  a year or a year and ½ ago.
