Re: 50%

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...

Please, don't tell about what you don't know.
Most (~14) victims of that attack were using same passwords on deepbit and another pool that got hacked, that's how the attacker got them. Also they were using same passwords for mining and main account.

Hey [Tycho] what's the [Bounty] on the Block Chain Monitor?

As it says in the forum thread, my part and those two who added their messages.

It's just a strawman, and Tycho knows it.
There is no technical way to find orphaned block chains without everyone running bitcoind to update their software to a specific version that would report orphaned blocks to a central authority. And the authority would need to be agreed upon. The client, as it stands, simply abandons them.

This "authority" can just connect to some different points of network and log the blocks.
