[Trance]

I would like to see what everyone has to say about this theoretical problem

If owners of the largest pools correlated an attack together?*


Enjoy!

That's just a 51% attack.  Which would be immediately detected.

I am part of the second largest pool and I will tell you none of the miners want to cut our own throats and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!

I am so sick of the what if 51% posts!  We mine bitcoin for the following reasons

 a) because we believe in bitcoin  
 b) we are very heavily invested into bitcoin
 c) some of us make money mining bitcoins.  

What part do you not understand about why these pools and the miners that make up the pools are not going to even consider tring something this stupid!
