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.
Human nature is to be greedy alas. Selflessness is only taught (and by a diminishingly few parents). You mean "selfLESSness" right? edit: hmm, you must've edited right before I clicked quote ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Nah - you read it wrong ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

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% .

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

maybe with the difficulty going up and up in future, the bitcoin system will come back to what it was meant to be in the first place, and that is the ordinary smaller miners, but hey what do i know..being a newbie lol ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

my earning is cut by half ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) 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](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

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.
