This is fucking serious people get off GHash the consequences for 51% are huge. It could be detrimental for bitcoin going forward. Once people realize that the Achilles heel in bitcoin is real, they'll permanently mark it with a negative stigma.

Do you have a screenshoot for me? I'd like to share it with twitter.

Well if no one will step up and do something we could be in for a rude awakening. Where are the bitcoin pirates with their DDOS botnets to take this pool down a notch  .... |

I'm not worried, but that's probably just because I'm smarter than you.

although 51%+ is a pivitol point. remember its not the fact that they have 51%, its the fact of if they will do anything nasty once they have 51%+
although id like to think they wouldnt shoot themselves in the foot by doing anything... thus nothing will change, there is that chance that the owner of Ghash is a complete knob and would do something.. so dont think of the 51%, think about if GHash CEO is a knob or not. and lets hope he is not.
with that said lets get all your miners on different pools to disburse the hash-power so we never have to find out if Ghash CEO will be a knob or not

So much paranoia on these forums, and so much forgetting about rational self-interest. What do you think happens to the fool who destroys the wealth of tens of thousands of hackers?
Nothing good.

Do we have any idea who the actual owners are? From what I have heard no one knows who is pulling the strings, and that is a dangerous game when we give a loaded gun to someone who is anonymous. |

Exactly. I would like to see them lower it some to keep everyone from freaking out, but I am not at all worried about ghash doing something to destroy bit coin. |

Deepbit had controlling share in the network a couple of times and we survived. They won't do anything because it's in their best interest to play nice. Think about it a minute. They're holding a mass of btc profit from running a successful pool. They could continue making more money but instead they decide to make their holdings worthless by fucking with the network. Yeah, that makes sense. Calm down people, the sky isn't falling.

After thinking about it with calm, I agree that the panic isn't justified, but at the same time I don't feel secure at all.

Their "mass of BTC profit" isn't from their pool. Their pool costs them money, it makes them nothing. It has, from day 1, made absolutely no economic sense for their pool to exist at all. Their private farm is as large or larger than any other pool as is, so the argument of letting others join them to reduce their variance is moot. They're too large for variance to make an impact on their monthly revenues. They're paying to run servers for people for nothing, unless they're skimming from the top. |
