Oh, you seem to know me? How about the next x100 coin prediction since you supposedly have a crystal ball?
I was merely stating that if a different pool gets over 50% hashpower, that you most likely would join that pool instead, am I wrong in my assumption? If so, then please forgive me in misjudging your character and all the power to you for supporting your nr.1 pool regardless of their hashpower!
Your assumption is absolutely wrong. There are reasons people defend suprnova pools so vehemently... regardless of hashrate these are among the best pools. OCMiner has time and time again proven to be a trustworthy community member. He has taken the time to make a stable mining environment and gone above and beyond to continue being a part of all of this. Hell he threw up a BitcoinCash pool shortly after the split AND MINED A BLOCK with the best coinbase sig EVER!
Point me to a pool where the sysadmin is this active, responsive and upfront with their operation? Point me to a pool that is as easy to use as ALL these are? Point me to a pool sysadmin that anyone else has expressed they were OK with having more than 51% of the hashrate... GL you won't really find it. Altcoin pools break 51% hash all the time and it is not an issue if you have trust in the sysadmin.
Seriously take the time to read this whole thread... because for every FUD 51% post here... there are triple or more posts defending OCMiner and suprnova. It's not blind faith, it's historical fact.
The answer was targeted at Nebell and not at you at all, so please don't take my words and use them speaking for someone else than yourself to bad mouth me, it's bad practice.
Personally, I have found several pools in the community that go above and beyond, that charge LESS fees, give MORE support, are just as stable and would NEVER go above 51% hashrate because they are not greedy but know what is good and fair and sound for the project they mine for. I do not trust any sysadmin that willingly takes the risk to go above 51% , the bitcoin and darknet past has shown everyone what it means to put trust in anonymous entities over the long-term and sooner or later someone will get hurt by it.
I took time to read the thread very carefully (which you apparently did not, because you are replying to an apology that wasn't even meant for you just to promote your pool more).
There is absolutely 0% FUD in warning against 51% attacks. It is a reality and a real threat that you are downplaying and ignoring by calling it FUD. Any educated Bitcoin user will be able to confirm my statements and if you have anything that proves that anything I say is wrong and false, then please provide evidence and we can talk some more. Otherwise, I think I have said what had to be said and in the future, I don't need to make a point about it anymore, so go and play around at SN all you like, it's not gonna change as long as there are people with similar attitudes around, but those are not the ones that the message is targeted at anyways.
Have a good day.
Am I missing the part where I bad mouthed you? I stated your assumption was wrong, though you may not have asked me directly... IDC. I don't need to re-quote every one of your posts to make a point, nor did I mock you, nor anyone else, as you did calling out nebell's character. I chose to reply STRICTLY because you did that, which is the bad practice.
I did ask you to point me to the pools you are speaking of, but you didn't take that opportunity to list any...
I don't need to post any proof or facts to you either, you won't read them if you haven't already... there are plenty of articles and facts out there about 51% and why many see it as having no incentive to do so and easily negated if it were to ever cause a disruption.
I'll try to have a good day, you do the same.
