68% of the BCH Hashrate Was Recently Processed by Unknown Miners
On Monday, a post on the Reddit forum r/btc explained that “untrusted hash is at nearly 70%.” The r/btc thread detailed that on Dec. 30, statistics indicate that roughly 68% of the overall BCH hashrate is being processed by miners not willing to disclose their identity. When a known mining pool finds a block, in the coinbase there’s usually a message which identifies who mined the block. However, in 2019 both SHA-256 networks BTC and BCH saw a significant increase in mystery miners processing the chains. In January, two research reports noticed the increasing trend of unknown miners as Coin Metrics and Diar both published findings on the subject. At the time, Diar’s report said that unknown miners could be “concerning” and just because the miner does not disclose its identity, it doesn’t mean the hash is not from a known pool. Coin Metrics wrote that the analytics firm also noticed a resurgence of mystery miners during the start of 2019.

What are your thoughts on this?
I'm sure everyone here is familiar with the 51% attack, but this unknown miners controls 68% of of the hashrate of BCH so it's possible that they can pull it off, just saying. It's really concerning if you're a BCH bag holders, (I'm not).
. So you need to come to your senses here, just saying.i could never wish destruction upon another chain, but BCH deserves what they get, they started this war as far as im concerned, and continue it too!
"an attack against one is an attack against all", but sorry BCH, thats dosent count you hehe.
Would sure be crazy to see someone do some malicious shit, but i fear the effect on exchanges, i wonder if they have protections form previous situations in place now, hmm...
2020 is gonna be insane lol, so much shit building up :O
