Just because "other" is "bigger", it doesn't mean anything. Just the whole graph is smaller.. That is unless someone is throwing 6 TH of their own miners at the network right now..

Guys.
the 'OTHER" is obviously the downed pools hashing power. everybody is still mining with them, it is just the front end that wont answer http calls.

I can confirm that I have several miners down at slush. A bunch more at smaller pools unaffected. |

I think you're right. If you look here, I think they tag blocks by known IP and they see all the big pools still generating blocks. |

No everyone isn't mining. Many users of deepbit report connectivity issues and none of my miners can connect to slush. It looks like some miners may still be able to connect but not all of them are. Still other isn't necessarily bad. My slush rigs switched to solo so they would be "other" too. |

I've got access to two of my three miners right now, and neither of them are able to connect to slush's pool, which is where I was at when things got crazy. Don't think anyone is mining at slush's right now...

Slush last block was prior to the start of connectivity problems but good to see the other big players are still producing blocks. |

Still other isn't necessarily bad. My slush rigs switched to solo so they would be "other" too. DOSing the major pools isn't what I think of as a "51% attack", but whatever. Whether or not the pools are under attack or not is of little concern to myself. The overall security of the network is not really under threat, since 10 Terahashes per second isn't a mark reachable by any known network or supercomputer. This does highlight the risks to the bitcoin network at large associated with pool mining. Concentrating the mining to a single server for the purpose of income stability also creates central points of failure/attack. I don't mine in pools for this exact reason, and don't think anyone with any substantial hashing ability should do so. 10K small lights are harder to shoot out than a dozen really big ones. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'
