Everybody can see the actual numbers here:

https://blockchain.info/pools

And a quick search will indicate you where each pool belongs.

lol thats a summarised % that does not explain the physical location...
but anyway:

f2pool, run from thailand. hashpower international.. servers international

you cannot win a debate just by screaming a %. without knowing how that % is made or were its made or who/where its controlled.
% is meaningless unless you research the context

70%

51%, 55% 60%, 70%

your just making up numbers
in just 8 hour you have been throwing out random numbers backed by no researched evidence. but instead quoting others who have not actually researched.

quoting an article that quotes an article is not proof.

go research properly

f2pool. has ZERO chinese government influence.
hashpower not in china, servers not in china administrators not in china domain not in china.
so discount f2pools from your random number

bitfury. has ZERO chinese government influence.
hashpower not in china, servers not in china administrators not in china domain not in china.
so discount bitfury from your random number

actually do the research beyond biased human opinion. look at where the adminstrators are, servers and actual hashpower.
and come back with a factual number that doesnt change 4 times in ~7 hours

Bitcoin Mining in China
China is a world leader in Bitcoin mining and trading.
Chinese mining pools control more than 60% of the network hash rate.
Massive mining farms are located in China and pointed at these mining pools.

How would they determine where the transaction originates?

Maybe, by web wallets from which the transaction is coming? I guess a lot of bitcoiners are using the Coinbase web wallet (I use it too, for the record) which is the US company, so the Chinese miners may just start rejecting all transactions that are coming from this wallet. I also suspect that a few other notable web wallets (Xapo anyone?) are also primarily the US companies...

There may also be American exchanges and mixers which could be heavily hit by this

All Exchanges keep track of your Name / Email Address /IP Address , even if you use a fake name and email, using cross reference techniques your location can be determined by your IP alone.
All China has to do is get an approved list of BTC address from the Chinese Exchanges and just block the rest.
EASY.

Cool

So everyone else but China will get their transactions confirmed slowly? Slowing down the adoption rate and crash the price? Wow. Chinese miners who are looking for profit will DEFINITELY agree to this.

Are you Married?
Have a kid?

Do you think those guys running the mining pools , don't have someone they love in China?

Do you really not understand the Chinese Officials will harm or in prison their loved ones.

Grow the F. UP !

Chinese miners are rich. Begin rich means they have power, also in China.
Satoshi always assumed rational miners, the miners need American transactions, without them their block reward will be worth less money. Less money for the miners means other miners take over, their 90% hasing power goes down, and Bitcoin becomres more decentralized again.
The Chinese government cannot control Bitcoin.

You don't take into account that in this case the Chinese government could support their miners or even start mining bitcoins themselves by establishing new pools or directly taking control over existing ones. They have all the resources, and they certainly have the equipment (just look here). Personally, I don't think that it will ever come to this, but, on the other hand, the miners could just raise the fees for the American transactions. That seems to be the most rational reply to Trump raising tariffs on the Chinese goods. As I said elsewhere, the rumors of the Chinese authorities going to implement Bitcoin controls might not have been rumors at all...

In fact, they might have been a warning

hashpower distributed world wide
statum servers distributed world wide
domain names not .cn, but .com meaning not chinese
administrators distributed world wide.

you do realise that your concern is out dated. the pools mitigated your concern about 2 years ago.

chinese government cannot take down the domains because they are not .cn
chinese goverments cannot slap the admin because the admin are dotted around the world
chinese goverments cannot take down the statum servers because they are dotted around the world
chinese goverments cannot shut off 51%-90% of hashpower because 51%-90% of hash power IS NOT IN CHINA!!

you are about two years too late.
the so called chinese pools have already adapted and mitigated the risks.

your issues have already been addressed and the issues you raise are resolved.

you would actually have a valid point if:
domains ended .cn
stratum servers only existed in china
farms were not in mongolia, Tibet, Finland, Iceland, and the Republic of Georgia and the rest of the world
administrators were all in one building in china.

but for all 4 points. those have been addressed ages ago

Sure I believe you Roll Eyes

@franky1,

You want to call this article a racist , it admits Chinese have more than 51% mining. Wink

https://cointelegraph.com/news/chinese-mining-pools-propose-alternative-8-mb-block-size

Quote

Five of China's biggest mining pools — AntPool, F2Pool, BTCChina, BW Mining, and Huobi — have mutually agreed to a raise of the block size limit to 8 MB.
In a statement sent to CoinTelegraph and posted today on the Bitcoin subreddit, they collectively rejected Bitcoin core developer Gavin Andresen's proposal to raise the limit from 1 MB to 20 MB, and instead presented a compromise.

The mining pools came to the agreement at the National Conference Center in Beijing last Thursday. As they jointly account for some 55% to 60% of all hashing power on the Bitcoin network, it may now be increasingly unlikely that a consensus among the global Bitcoin community can be found on a block size increase to 20 MB

FYI:
I have personally watched the BTC hash rate over the past year and saw just 3 of the Chinese Mining Pools with over 70% a few times.

It is almost impossible for miners to determine where the transaction comes from. Someone can connect from the US to a node in Australia to relay it. The IP address that you see on Blockchain.info is the node that first relayed the information to their node. The miners can however, try to compile a list of Bitcoin addresses that are linked to anyone or companies in the US and refuse to mine it. This is a really tedious process and it can be extremely inaccurate.

Take note that some of the miners are not located in China. The total hashing power originating from China is more like 60% as opposed to 90%,

First I'm not sure at all that miners are rich.
Second if the hashing power is flowing in other countries, it won't be a smooth process. Expect a chaotic transition.

Chinese Government will not shut down the hashrate Stupid.

They will use their over 51% control of the mining to Accept or Deny any transaction they see fit.

Domain names have nothing to do with it, you're just showing how stupid you really are. Cheesy

A few things come my mind. How to know where the transaction comes from ? Also a transaction could be easily faked, even if the ability to know from where it does come by sending to an exchange and then withdrawing.

You're are so Stupid, you would not know the technical truth if it bit you in the ass.
Why don't you say racist a few hundred more times, as if it makes any difference to a technical issue of 51% security attack.
People see that China controls BTC , your BTC Devs can't even hard fork it to fix the transaction issues.
SO QUIT LYING!!!
Your Pitiful attempts at covering up a monumental issue are a waste of time.

Although the easiest way , would be for them to make a list of all allowable addresses from Chinese Miners and Chinese Exchanges or link a BTC address to a Chinese Citizen, and then block all transactions to any address not in the approved list.
Not hard to do at all. Tongue

china has less hash power then you think

BW.. are in mongolia aswell as other locations
haobtc.. are in tibet aswell as other locations
BTCC.. are around the world
bitfury.. are in Finland, Iceland, and the Republic of Georgia.
f2pool.. world wide miners

put down your racist hats and put on some research glasses

take f2pool. largest pool there is..
its hashpower is spread out across the world. its stratum servers are spread across the world.
even the guy that runs the pool is not even in china

he is in thailand

Admin Name: Wang Chun
Admin Organization: F2Pool
Admin Street: Soi Naklua 16, Naklua Sub-District,,
Admin City: Banglamung
Admin State/Province: Chonburi
Admin Postal Code: 020150
Admin Country: TH
Admin Phone: +66.973040750
Admin Phone Ext:
Admin Fax:+66.973040750
Admin Fax Ext:
Admin Email: [email protected]

even their domain is not .cn so that the chinese cant even take the domain down.
and dont bother replying with your 'evidence' of other racist opinions from other people that have not done any actual technical research

again take off your racist hat and put on your research glasses and see the truth

all your fearmongering has been mitigated ages ago.

wake up and drop the racist card and start talking about the technical truth
