The >51% situation is the same for many alts (think of "rare" MM coins like DVC or IXC and BitParking, they also have >90%).

Of course it's suboptimal, but it doesn't make the coin worthless. It merely means that miners have decided to trust a single entity to pool their efforts. Nothing more, and, granted, nothing less: trusting a central entity is not the aim of crypto coins IMO, at least not the original Bitcoin.

Miners could, theoretically, at any time, move away from CoinMine.pl and solo mine and/or switch pools, if they no longer trust them, or if they are no longer pleased by their policy.

Of course doesn't make this the coin worthless, but imho in the longer run, for a stable and widely accepted coin, this must be fixed.
