also he can not start another pool out of thin air, you know that a pool require a good infrastructure behind it that is not free, he can't just hope that magically, the miners will come and mine to pay the fee, for the cost of the server etc...
WTF? Seriously? How stupid do you think a pool owner would have to be to have
that problem? The problem is caused by him already having too much infrastructure, and if he's smarter than a post it's the obvious solution.
Pool owner: Oh noes, my massive server farm is now providing 48 per cent of bitcoin hashing! If someone else drops out for even an hour or so I risk annoying all those clowns who don't want to see one pool with 51%, and might not be able to dump bitcoins for as much money!
Pool Owner's IT guy: No problem, let me reconfigure a bit, and you'll be two pools each with 24 percent of bitcoin hashing. Or, y'know, we could call larry down the street who's got 20% of bitcoin hashing power and put, say, a third of our servers on his pool.
Pool owner: Oh, I didn't think of that because I have the IQ of a post! Cool! That way I can go on buying more servers!
IT guy: You know, there's some other profitable shit you and Larry can do with 78% of the hashing power, if you're not too obvious about it....
Pool owner: Awesome! I didn't think of that, either! 'Cause I have the IQ of a post! Oh, look! Squirrel!
