Eventually, someone will build a much more user friendly p2pool which will cause a mass exodus from these pools to create a decentralized mining network. Just a prediction thought!
+1 to thisp2pool is the solution
but yes, now it's a bit hard to use for the newbie.

No, the first pool ever was doublec's first pool based on puddinpop's method of pooled mining (I think)
Yes, I think the pool I ran based on puddinpop's code was the first public pool. It predated the "Difficulty 1" mining idea that I think Slush came up with. Here's the original pool page and the thread about it.ok the first still running pool then

It's funny how people search for things to panic about. What next? will there be a call to boycott the unknown section?
The hysteria was bad enough when just one pool approached 50% now we have to worry about 3 pools combined. Next we'll have to worry about, what 6 pools? 8 or more?
Ridiculous.

According to last weeks averages, they're not quite there yet:

lulz
soo pointless not even worth answering. Also btcguild is the bigger of the 2
EclibpseMC Current Speed: 1.56 TH/
btcguild Pool Speed 2,520.36 GH/se
BTW this was pulled from both home pages seconds ago so might be different when you check

These three networks comprise of 50% of the network. Their collaboration and/or seizure could cause the Bitcoin network trouble.
It is highly recommended that you move to a smaller pool in order to decentralize the network.
Thank you.

Isn't EclipseMC bigger than BTCGuild anyway?

Even the biggest pool is still < 20% of the entire network. Although I am a big fan of Ozcoin
