The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

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.

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....

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 Wink
