Man he got 9400 BTC. WOOOTTT. Not only does he mine individually but also he gets payments from ghash.io. See this : ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs10.postimg.org%2F51o181pe1%2FCapture.jpg&t=665&c=uXgUVKld7aaDmg)

Basically that address is also getting paid from ghash.io ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) U see the first address on there marked with ghash.io . sent coins there? Soo... I think i know whats up with this. when ghash.io reaches near the 51% they just get couple of PH , to the "solo mining" with this and proably some other addresses. So basically this is ghash.io addy, just they put it to solo mine so ghash.io "is not at 51% " but it actually is on much more . Does this make any sense ?

GHash is hiding their real power. GHash has MUCH more than 51%, i would say more than 60% ! Do remember,
they can low the rate to 4x% in short time by blocking some of their miners and shutting down their own units , they can then also raise back to 60% in seconds by just turnning on all their mine units, why? because greed is part of human nature, goverments,organisations etc can simply take over GHash and destroy bitcoin!
undestroyable decentralized math-proof-of-stake money system? boom! > 60% double spends, confidences gone, bitcoin end!
The community has already appealed to GHash.io to voluntarily restrict their mining (as did BTCGuild before them) in order to avoid going over 40% and you see what they returned some might say: Put another way, in 5 months when Ghash is at 100%, we can still have bitcoin, and it can still be working fine as a cryptocurrency acoindr: No, it can't. It would work in the technical sense, but not in the currency one. Money is a funny thing. To become a currency, something commonly accepted as having monetary value, requires confidence. This is true of any currency, but is especially of something like fiat paper, only backed by government decree, in contrast to gold which has been valued globally for thousands of years. Bitcoin, which isn't physical or backed by decree, is especially quirky in regards to confidence.
If people perceive the integrity of [bit]coins held as subject to too much risk of losing day to day value, due to double spend risk etc., they will not desire to hold them for longer periods of time, or eventually at all, meaning confidence could be lost in the currency completely.
I suspect people are not so concerned with the GHash situation because they appear to be on 'our side', and disrupting the network would run counter to their self-interest. However, there can be a limit to that threshold of trust.
I also believe people recognize there is a viable fallback in Litecoin, for example, if some short-term issue affects Bitcoin, because it's an entirely separate system. That's something I preached a lot about in the past. I would feel more nervous if there was only Bitcoin in which the community placed all its eggs.

Dear falllling, Try harder. I hope you're less of a disappointment to your parents than you are to me. Somehow I doubt it though ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif)

You're upset because he found 6.25% of the blocks over the last 4 days? Why?

And all I see is a warning from blockchain.info that the address contains transactions that may be double spends. Why the trolling?

With my professional expertise in bitcoin speculation you should trust me, this is BAD.. I've seen this before ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Ghash.io is controlling that address, they are able to create double spends, its a 51% ATTACK!

somebody withdrew their balance and moved away from ghash with their 5petahash operation, and started solo mining. /story somebody, with a huge probability, is bitFury: http://www.coindesk.com/bitfury-pulls-power-ghash-community-uproar/So this is a "hooray, community self-balances to prevent 51% attacks" topic, TDM
