I'm about as relaxed as I get without the aid of potent modern pharmaceuticals. That said, any claim of "helping Bitcoin" by "investing" in PETA while it is mining on ghash.io is patently absurd.

@Aireun:
Investing in PETA, which, AFAIK, mines on ghash.io, is *horrible* for Bitcoin. See here. Stop parroting nonsense.

Investing does imply increasing your bitcoin stash. If you can not find any offerings to accommodate that, the wisest choice is not to "invest" in the one that loses you the least money.
No.
Simply *DO NOT INVEST!!1!*
There.

You're missing the point. This forum has the memory of a goldfish. There was some concern about hashing on Ghash; Cryptx responded 4 days ago with:

With Ghash.io pool fluctuating between 40% and 50% of market share we are looking to set up our own pool (p2pool) or divide our hashrate over several pools, we will do some testing and experimenting before making a switch/final decision. Several criteria are important:
-   Pool variance: A small pool has much more variance which has a direct effect on block finding and payout.
-   Merged mining: pool should at the least allow merged mining for NMC
-   Pool stability: pool should be stable, protected against DDoS attacks, no network latency, efficient work distribution etc.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Bitcoin eco-systems remains healthy, and to avoid a 51% attack.

So wringing our hands now (4 days later) about how we are mining on ghash and casually implying that cryptx is unlikely to stick to this plan is an exhausting waste of everyone's time.
