No. I'm saying "it's ridiculous to say that 70% of miners are Chinese because 70% of mining currently occurs in Chinese pools." Again. Do pay attention.
Sounds strangely similar

"It is unreasonable to infer that most miners are Chinese from the fact that most of the mining pools are located in China. Though all available data point to this conclusion,

and all a priori reasoning, from lower electrical costs to ASIC manufacture/labor/shipping etc., the evidence is purely circumstantial"?
I might've been overly helpful by filling in a few blanks for you, but you go ahead and tell me the part s you disagree with, and I'll correct 'em http://s10.postimg.org/6eb2y2f7t/Capture.png

I'm not sure why you believe miners don't change pools. I tend to look at this every few days and the wedges are rarely static. Even assuming you were right, and miners haven't been switching pools recently - it's a bit of a stretch to assume that that will remain the case.
I, in turn, am unsure why you think I think that they don't change pools. Again, If you just cite the part that led you to such an erroneous conclusion, I'll try to fix it.Quote
I'm also not sure why you think I should be surprised that miners' interests may not align with hodlers' interests. Aside from it being kinda obvious, I accepted that miners were the decision makers when I first read the whitepaper and in the years since nothing has changed.
Ditto. English is a bitch for me, so if you could point to the bit that mislead you, I'd be forever in your debt.Quote
I'm also also not sure why you think a group of pool operators and devs meeting should worry me. They were deciding a development roadmap, one that will be presented to miners. Who will then be free to accept or reject. Which rather sounds like... exactly how it's always been.
Meh. Pool owners & devs decide on the roadmap, miners and Bitcoin hodlers unaffected
