children, seriously, you are spamming up the forum with your naive blathering. if tycho tries anything fishy with his pool, it will instantly dissolve like a tab of acid on the tongue as the people in his pool flee. tycho is making 3% off of his 50% share of the network. that means hes personally getting 1.5% of all the bitcoins generated right now. you think he would risk that to fake some piddly 50 bitcoin blocks? the people that post these threads are so very profoundly stupid.

Prove it.

Let's say hypothetically tycho forks the block chain about 1000 times, and blocks all the other pools from getting any confirmations of blocks. 5000 people who never read the forums or watch the block chain or know anything other than "my stats are goin up at a fantastic rate!" are going to stop mining on deepbit because...?

Your post sounds the most profoundly stupid to me.

1) what would tycho gain from forking the block chain 1000 times? hes making more money by not doing that.
2) if these hypothetical people don't read the forums, how did they learn about tycho's pool to begin with?

the unsuccessful always try to punish the successful

Way to answer the question, by saying "oh it just wouldn't happen."

Do you think all bitcoin users learn about bitcoin from these forums? I didn't, I came here only after I had been mining for some time already. Most of the new users are learning about bitcoin from news articles, or their friends, or gaming clan members or whatever. Most have little to no vested interest in the long term of bitcoin as is evidenced by the days of entreaties towards not giving deepbit blockchain authority being unheeded.

There are about 20,000 miners roughly, give or take, which means deepbit has roughly 10000 people mining (he can provide better stats than myself this is an estimate of course) for him, I was generously suggesting that even half of them would be reading the forum regularly (the highest amount of users on the forums at any one time was 1900, right now its about 1200).

Again, by what evidence do you suggest that most of these people who do not actively participate beyond collecting their virtual booty would be aware of a problem with the blockchain and would therefore "vaporize deepbit"?

EDIT: No srs...
