Not so much, GHash has broken the 50% barrier for sustained periods of time. The old news was they were a threat to but promised never to grow that much. Remember the public statements from them and putting a halt to independent miners joining? The unwritten news is they lied through their teeth and continued to add hashing power to their private stash. You do recall they were already caught once performing a double spend attack, correct? It is new news, a current problem if they continue unchecked.

[/quote]

Every pool has broken the 50% barrier every block. If you don't get the next block, then you're still at 50% for two blocks. On a daily average, Ghash never got over 50% of the network. On a 160 moving average, GHash.IO might have just touched 50% once for an hour or so.

Short answer - no, GHash.IO hasn't "broken the 50% barrier". I'd be more worried abut the fact it even got to 40% of the network. It tells me that many - maybe most - miners are very short sighted.
[/quote]

Im guessing the real short answer is You can type but cannot read

http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/bitcoin-mining-pool-ghash-io-is-unapologetic-risk-theoretical-51-attack

You should try it or you are self proving your theory of short sight
[/quote]

I have no idea what you mean. What does that article have to do with anything I wrote?
[/quote]
Did you read it?
It kinda says along with the 1st article posted that GHash has broken the 51% before for an extended period and the power been was used maliciously which defies your short answer and view of many - maybe most miners

Human nature is to be greedy alas. Selflessness is only taught (and by a diminishingly few parents).

You mean "selfLESSness" right?

Did you read it? cause it kinda says that GHash has broken the 50% before

Yes, but they're wrong. Or GHash.IO broke 50% in the same way that other pools have - by solving one block out of two. Or for an hour or two. But not for any significant length of time. The most they've done in a day is 47%, and corrected for 'luck' the best they've done for in any 160-block period is 46% .

I don't know. Regardless, you don't need 51% of the network to double spend: https://bitcoil.co.il/Doublespend.pdf

and that is the ordinary smaller miners, but hey what do i know..being a newbie lol  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

If its on the estimate, it could just be the normal glitch thing the estimate has been doing for a while, hash power is up on the of late normal rise we get, it was 4000 th for a little then it dropped to 3800 now its back up to 3900 atm.

I need more hash powers

Dayum! Well this sux! Hopefully the extra hash power we will find at least 30% MORE blocks as IF this keeps up and my estimated reward stays as is...I WILL be finding another "small" pool to mine with, ugh, frustrating!

Could be - or just could be people adding new kit - like me - added 3.6 TH/s to slush today. It's painful when you add new kit during a drought - but I'm patient Smiley

Most likely the extra hashpower is from failovers BUT yes, those mining here SHOULD increase their hashrate as I have but to have that great of an increase overnight is definitely NOT miners adding extra power...definitely failover and/or slush pool received some immigrants from Ghash.io. On another note...slush pool "size" has supposedly dropped 1% according to https://blockchain.info/pools, we were hovering at 4% for the last couple weeks, very strange.
