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.
Actually there is still a VERY long way to 50% considering that deepbit is not the only pool that grows rapidly.
I'm going to talk with someone like Gavin about considering additional steps towards transprency, so people will know that my pools is not doing anything bad.
Is Tycho an unbiased person to ask? No offense Tycho, but you get 3% of his massive input which is quite considerable.
3% at this speed is only like having 11 GH/s farm. Even ArtForz doing more, but if farm owner does something wrong he can continue mining, and if pool's owner does something to harm the network, he will lose his income. So being honest is better than trying to steal once.
