Wow, almost 10TH delivered so far? That is amazing

10th = 2% of the network speed those little usb sticks sure add up and thats not including all the other distributors including europe & asia
the best thing that can happen for bitcoin is to have 7 billion of USB stick miners out there instead of concentrated hashing locations that are 25%+ of the network...
all these new companies are chasing the wrong crowd with complex equipment...



 yeah   if we had about 20 pools with  4% each and a few million miners with 10-20 sticks or 1 or 2 blades it would be better then  2 or 3   100th places like cloudhashing.


The big group  big pool is very tempting to attack.    3 pools with  50% of the hash beg for ddos attacks

 right now btc guild 50 btc and deepbit add up to 50%

  a well planned ddos with 200 blocks before adjustment  is very tempting. take out the 3 mentioned pools 12 hours before adjustment and the rest of the miners  have easy pickings.  Having 20 pools at the 3-5 % level would truly end this incentive.
