Hashrate distribution

[valkir]

Hi all

I was just wondering why does blockchain pool distribution is not up to date ?

Bitfury is in the unknow even if we can know it.

Make the graph look strange since not bitfury is the 3 biggest miner.

Btw, when does bitfury fire it up his miner? He never have been so big?

Does bitfury have new chip ?

The blockchain distribution chart is unreliable at best.

That ip apparently is Bitfury

It has grown , found more blocks then even the largest pool , since the last diff period. I guess they are rolling out more than 70PH worth of new chips?!
Thats infuckingsane!

I've started following it on Blocktrail https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC

Using IP is pointless.
The IP is the address that passed the block to blockchain.
Firstly it would require each pool to be connected directly to blockchain
(which there is no reason for a pool to consider that important to do)
and it can be any bitcoind that's connected to blockchain that is able to pass it faster to blockchain.
Basically the technicalities (of which there are many more) mean the IP is in no way a reliable way to identify who found the block.

Re: BItfury
My pool's last orphan race was with Bitfury ... we won

Nice! great that you beat a private pool.
