I'm surprised none of you have a problem with the nut2pools pool having over 51% of the hash for this coin all the time. Sometimes it is as high as 70%.

It really hurts the validity of this coin to have one pool effectively controlling the blockchain.

I don't know the technicals well enough to understand whether they may be effecting the ability of other pools/ solo miners to get blocks, but I've found that since they've gotten over 50%, I receive a high number of rejects on solved blocks. Is it possible that the pool preferentially treats their own blocks, and effectively the entire chain, as the correct ones as they would see those before an outside block was submitted?

On a 30 second block, even a few seconds preference toward their own pool before others outside the pool could be validated could be enough to completely skew everything in their favor.

I haven't seen one person raise a concern about this on this thread, though. Why is this?

The rejects are caused by a bug still in the wallet code for some reason, not the consolidation of hashing power.

Nevertheless, your concern is justified and, I'm sure, shared by more than me.

Nutnut, you should really consider an exorbitant fee on your pool, or something, to incentivize this network to decentralize.

Can you be more specific why you think "The rejects are caused by a bug still in the wallet code for some reason"?

From what I can see, this is caused by the natural mining process. The big hash power usually grabs the block faster. If you have less power or solo mining, you see rejected blocks sometimes.

For the mining pools, there are some improvement scripts in the Litecoin development forum, people could consider to use. But these are the scripts for the mining pools, not related to the coin code.
