You are going a long way round in circles to avoid answering this question: And you don't think that [double-spend attack against BetCoin] makes GHash dishonest? its very simple a ,miner can NEVER do 7 blocks in a row. see rule 13 http://btc-base.blogspot.sk/2014/01/bitcoin-transactions-why-it-is.html7 blocks is the inital transactions + 6 confirmations at best ghash.io can do the double spend + 5 confirmations ... the 6thx (block 7) has to be done by somone else. if thats not done the transaction will fial back to zero! so its that simple , one miner can max do 6 blocks in a row , thats 5 confirmations , and thats why you need at least 6 confirmations (7 blocks) to be save because the 7th block can never be done by the same miner. , its so very simple Smiley so you can never double spend , bacause you can never make more then 6 blocks in a row , so you NEVER get a double spend with 6 confirmations. its even stupid to hash the 7th block , because it will not be accepted by the chain , this wasting mining power. so its even stuped to join a to big pool  Do you think that [double-spend attack against BetCoin] makes GHash dishonest? Iits dumb of betcoin to accept transactions of les then 6 confirmation , honisty does not exsits in the financhial world that's why we have a system as bitcoin to rule out human temptation by code ruling. Wolfs of wallstreet anyone? |

CHECK THE IP ADRESS were the block is geiven from! This is NOT 8 blocks in a row! , its 2 blocks , then again 2 blocks , then 3 blocks , followed by 2 blocks!!!!! Rule 13. Reject [a block] if timestamp is the median time of the last 11 blocks or before This can be interpreted in a following way: If the attacker will try to mine his own private blockchain fork, other nodes will almost certainly reject it, if his length is more than 6 blocks, since the timestamp of the first such mined block will be almost certainly older than the median time of the last 11 mined blocks. Replacing 6 or less blocks is possible, but when attacker tries to replace 7 or more blocks, the first one will be too old to be accepted. TL;DR: Six bitcoin confirmations is not an arbitrary number. If payee accepts a transaction with less than six confirmations, it is possible that the attacker, even without a majority of the hashpower, can launch a brute force attack by mining his private blockchain fork and reverse the transaction. With six or more confirmations, such an attack will be rejected by the Protocol rule 13 described above. Note for programmers: The check is implemented in the method GetMedianTimePast() and called in method AcceptBlock(), file main.cpp: bool CBlock::AcceptBlock(CValidationState &state, CDiskBlockPos *dbp) { ... // Check timestamp against prev if (GetBlockTime() <= pindexPrev->GetMedianTimePast()) return state.Invalid(error("AcceptBlock() : block's timestamp is too early")); you have 2 indipendent pools of ghash.io spreading capasity over 2 parts of the world. a mining pool in the UK and one in UA. What are you talking about? That rule has nothing to do with IPs, in fact there is nothing in the block itself about IPs. The IP listed by blockchain (if there is one) has nothing to do with the node that actually mined the block, it's just the IP of the node that first relayed the block to blockchain.info. |

youre right ip does not matter , was also wondering why it exepted 8 blocks bit the check is median time. rule 13 is about Median time.... thats a hard concept. block #299457 2014-05-06 23:25:38 ---- block #299456 2014-05-06 23:02:13 block #299455 2014-05-06 22:54:57 block #299454 2014-05-06 22:51:31 block #299453 2014-05-06 22:50:08 --- block #299252 2014-05-06 22:37:53 --- block #299251 2014-05-06 22:27:03 block #299250 2014-05-06 22:21:21 block #299249 2014-05-06 22:17:07 This means that you can NOT create more then 6 blocks in a row less then 10 minutes apart , Rule 13. Reject [a block] if timestamp is the median time of the last 11 blocks or before This can be interpreted in a following way: If the attacker will try to mine his own private blockchain fork, other nodes will almost certainly reject it, if his length is more than 6 blocks, since the timestamp of the first such mined block will be almost certainly older than the median time of the last 11 mined blocks.

Iits dumb of betcoin to accept transactions of les then 6 confirmation , honisty does not exsits in the financhial world that's why we have a system as bitcoin to rule out human temptation by code ruling. Wolfs of wallstreet anyone? You really can't answer the question, can you? No point continuing the discussion then. I can answer that for you. Yes, anything that goes against the principles of a trust-less system makes GHash.IO dishonest, including their double spend attack. Everybody, let's just think this one over for a second. In a system that is supposed to require absolutely no trust between any parties, why is GHash.IO saying we should trust them? This goes against everything that defines the very idea behind bitcoin, and they will pay for it. Bitcoin does not have to destroy banks, it does not need to be completely free of fees and taxes, but bitcoin must, absolutely must rip the financial control from the wealthy elites cold dead hands so that we never have to "trust" any authority figure when it comes to monetary policy or cryptocurrency. If it can't do that, then we should just give up right now because everything else is pointless. |

Was the double spend sucsessfull? if detected as double spend it was clearly not attemting one is wrong but it failed because of the way bitcoin is setup. |

Let's have some FUD vs. FACT now.
FUD: Double-spends: GHash actually engaged in such an attack before it reached the 51% mark, and it could do so again
FACT: Ghash.io has never committed double spending against a CONFIRMED transaction. Apparently at one time Ghash.io had committed fraud against an online gambling site by performing a Finney attack to cancel their non-winning bet transactions. This was possible because the casino recognized payment on 0/unconfirmed transactions -- something that NOBODY would recommend a merchant do for an anonymous, online service.
So you've just agreed that they did engage in a double-spend attack? Not really FUD then, is it? But it is ok because they only attacked stupid people? Not quite. (snip unrelated information) Quite. You've just said that they did perform a double spend attack. If it is detected as a double spend in blackchain.info it was not sucsessfull , I explained how hard it is to realy do it , when sticking to 6 confirmations , Further more if ghash.io was realy bad people would have droped it by know or at leased miners would have stoped accepting mined blocks from them So this is why i dont worry , if one miner act bad other can stop acccepting blocks from that miner , so acting bad is in nobody's intrest. also the median time rule makes it almost imposible to act bad because you need to know the time when feature transaction will come . mutiple times in a row. I incurage evrybody to try to hack and play with the bitcoin protocol! . and emulate all senarios |

Yep, you are right. We should just leave 50% of the hashing power in one pool so somebody can come in and use it to permanently damage the trust in bitcoin enough to possibly damn it forever. Sounds legit. FACT: An alarming amount of CEOs and other top executives have been infiltrating many bitcoin businesses and organizations. The ease with which you suggest that they would never have the power to take down the network this way is also alarming. Leaving all that hashpower in one location is a 100% sure sign that somebody will attempt to abuse it in order to kill bitcoin for real. Decentralization in every possible way! This is very simple stuff to figure out, and no amount of hand-waving and fancy whitepaper posts will ever change anything about that. |

So what GHASH.is is saying is that they enjoy havin 51 % and that they don't give a fuck about centralisation ? Thats a very nice statement wraped up, you could use different words but then it would be much more obvious that you don't even care about it.

This means that you can NOT create more then 6 blocks in a row less then 10 minutes apart ,
Nope, that's not it either. It means that if you want to replace the block chain you either can't use too much time, or you have to set the time stamp into the future to give yourself some extra time. "Fortunately" for ghash.io they control a lot of the miners in their pool, which gives them a better probability. |

Yes, they were successful, they confirmed the second transaction, thus cancelling the first. That is what a double-spend is. This meant that they kept their winning bet transactions and revoked their losing bet transactions. |

Oh yeah:
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." -Lord Acton
This times a million is the one and only core value that is driving bitcoin and the only real thing of value that bitcoin has to offer. Realistically, I could wire somebody in Antarctica money in a few minutes using the bank. I can buy anything anywhere with banks cards, and most people don't even think about the fees they might save doing otherwise. Many of the everyday uses for bitcoin seem pointless right now. But it isn't really about that. What makes bitcoin worth fighting for so much is the technology behind it that removes the centralization of power in the economic system and creates a worldwide network where all users have the same rights and privileges. It is about removing all possible corruption from banking, wall street, government, credit agencies, and the individual citizen as well. It is about being able to buy penny stocks of a farm in Africa when you live in Argentina. It is about traveling the entire world and never having to submit to the local currency restrictions. It is about not having the money in your pocket stolen from you by an invisible hand. Bitcoin is about fairness. The more fair we can be, the better we can work towards the future. Without cryptocurrency, the world is doomed. I wish I could be joking right now. |

Does not mean the can do it all the tme , yes we need to watch big pools , but no we dont need to get parabnoia about it other pools can refuse blocks of ghash.io because they make to many blocks. So for ghash.io it is NOT in its intrest to build a big pool , because you waste mining capasaty becasue other miners will not accept the blocks. and remenber there is a mutch BIGGER problem , with our economy , its called the imposible hamster , Resources VS endless growing bitcoin by it nature can solve this puzzle , so can save hamanity! so don't underastimate the incentive to make this work! |

We have heard your bullshit argument that conveniently always leaves out this scenario and also leaves 51% of the net hash open for the picking. Go home. Your tactics no longer work here. |

Its about a few cents and they are detected , with the banks we know ,but we cant do anything but with ghash.io people can its to small , its like you shout to some one in trafic thts bad but not so bad you get in jail , so please shutup , its about a few cents. |
