I don't understand the 51% problem...if the owner of btcguild can be trusted with all that btc to give out to miners and to be honest n stuff...and has great security measures...who cares how big it gets...course all the ppl will do then is just spread FUD bout btcguild gonna do a 51% attack blah blah
Yes I do agree. But it is trust in a network. If someone is 51% then he can double spend his coins... And if the possibility exists people will be afraid. We all know there is no danger but we know he is OK. What about someone who don't. You need everyone to know there is no danger and miners are taking care of that. Even admin of BTC Guild is taking steps to decries his hasrate.
the thing is, this is the Internet. when it comes to who is doing what, we actually know very little. Not accusing anyone of anything, just pointing out that anyone could run more than one pool under different names. If anyone actually wanted to control more than 51% and were well financed, there would be nothing anyone could do about it.
