Sudden Large Increase In "Unknown" Mining

[Jason]

Anyone have any idea what's going on here:  http://blockchain.info/pools

When I looked at the pie chart just now, I see that 61% of the hashrate distribution is to "unknown."  I've been watching this chart for the past 6 months or so and this is the first time that I've seen any slice on this graph exceed 50%.  The "unknown" slice has been growing in spurts over the past several months though.

I hope this turns out to be anomalous or at least not primarily the work of a single party.

blockchain only came back online hour ago, it clearly just mistagged alot of blocks while it was offline.

Yeah, it made me astonished, too. But when I cannot find the deepit on the chart, I know that deepit is now a part of the "unknown".

So it looks like a false alarm then.  According to bitcoincharts.com there has been a ~1/3 increase in the network hashrate over the last few days, which had me worried in combination with the (incorrect) pie chart from blockchain.info/pools.

Thanks for the alternative reference.  I'll use it as a cross-check in the future.

edit: oops I didn't read the posts confirming this was not true, ha
