All of these threads are reactive. Every single one of them, every time This is the second time deepbit has gone over 50%. Nothing was accomplished after the first time. [Tyco]'s thread about coding a an attack detector barely got any interest. The best idea I've seen so far is an ad campaign to try to get users to go to other pools.
If people think this is really a big problem and [Tyco] is such a huge threat then come up with some realistic ideas about how to solve it.
1) Inform users of the problem and try to get them to distribute themselves. Hint: You're going to have to reach them outside of here since a good number of them will probably never come here. You can't make users leave either. It is their choice where they mine.
2) Put some technical skill into getting a block chain monitor working so that people will know if/when something happens instead of being reactive.
There's a big difference between this time and last time. Last time tycho temporarily got 50% of the hashing power because slush went down. When it went back up, he lost those miners.
This time he has a sustained 50% interest. And it looks like it will keep growing.
You know what else has already happened too? Tycho has been hacked. That's why he instituted email locks on accounts, because a hacker got into his system and changed peoples addresses. Hacked once...
Anyway. We'll see what comes.
