You guys that defend slush and his pool are baffling. If ANY other pool had attacks on them where hundreds or thousands of btc were withheld, stolen, hidden, whatever the case may be; that site would be a ghost town in no time with no one mining on it. The fact that there was a hijacking of this pool, and you all still mine here is insanity. He used to brag about having higher than bank level security, and you really believe someone could have programmed their single solitary miner to withhold blocks from a pool with this level of security?
Despite all the back and forth, this is the post that sums it up the best. I'll never understand why a lot of people mine where they do. Why anyone would continue to mine at slush baffles me. The fanboi flag waving is mildly entertaining, but besides that I see nothing positive here. When it looks like crap, smells like crap, and feels like crap I have a good feeling what it is...
Hello,
I am one of those people (at least for part of my hashrate).
This is actually a good question because Ghash.io fell very low for less than that!
However, nobody can prove that slush lie. For justice you are inocent if it is not proven that you are not guilty. I apply this rule too.
External attack to kill his pool is an possible option also. that can be to suport him!
Everyone does what he wants
For now pool works well!
