At least they replied to the issue beforehand and their two moves - allowing miners to point elsewhere and no new registrations - are a step in the right direction.

Micro-payments aggregation, which will enable users to receive small amounts of Bitcoins from third parties. Off chain transactions, nice move!

Of course ghash.io would do something about it. Like any mining pool would want to bring down the network, their source of massive income ........

Still we couldn't just count on the good will of the mega pool like we did every time in the past(Deepbit, BTC Guild...), it's intriguing why miners keep flocking to the biggest pool and whether something could be done about it.

They need some stiff competition .... I agree having one massive pool isn't a good idea. Other people need to step up and run a decent service with low fees.

Do we know how much hash power is from CEX.io mining contracts (which go through ghash.io) vs independent miners?

Yup, if Ghash.io really wants to help the network, it would be a good first step to publish such data....

At least they had a good responce to problem. I am glad that people left the pool as it got closer to the 51%

enlightened self interest often works... to me a lot of the other threads discussing this topic are too doomsday-prone
maybe some of the bigger VC's should devote some $$ to helping develop viable alternatives to this large miner pool
also, in a worst case , we do a fork
in other words, while the problem needs to be addressed, it is not the be all end all some are making it out to be
onwards and upwards!

Good ideas! People love a good panic ... I'm sure half of them just want to cause panic selling and buy some cheap coins
