Is Tycho an unbiased person to ask?  No offense Tycho, but you get 3% of his massive input which is quite considerable.  Also, to be honest, I am getting nervous about the size of the pool.  Tycho has already said he is investing in mining hardware with his earnings.  There is a lot of potential for corruption.  I don't believe that Tycho would do this, but having such a large pool and still growing is getting scarry, especially since it is rapidly approaching that fearful 51% scarey.

I am not trying to discourage people to use deepbit, just from allowing it to overcome the bitcoin market.
