These three networks comprise of 50% of the network. Their collaboration and/or seizure could cause the Bitcoin network trouble.
It is highly recommended that you move to a smaller pool in order to decentralize the network.
Thank you.

Even the biggest pool is still < 20% of the entire network. Although I am a big fan of Ozcoin

Eventually, someone will build a much more user friendly p2pool which will cause a mass exodus from these pools to create a decentralized mining network. Just a prediction thought!

It's funny how people search for things to panic about. What next? will there be a call to boycott the unknown section?
The hysteria was bad enough when just one pool approached 50% now we have to worry about 3 pools combined. Next we'll have to worry about, what 6 pools? 8 or more?
Ridiculous. Sam

No, the first pool ever was doublec's first pool based on puddinpop's method of pooled mining (I think)

Yes, I think the pool I ran based on puddinpop's code was the first public pool. It predated the "Difficulty 1" mining idea that I think Slush came up with. Here's the original pool page and the thread about it.
