It's at 40% (https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs) but yeah, kind of... why can't they be like BTC Guild and increase fess to something ridiculous like 40-50% to get miners to join other pools.

I'm not familiar with the mining side of bitcoin and what the implications are, but it's a little disappointing that one group can already gain 51% so early and quickly... when I heard about the 51% attack I thought that group would need an incredible amount of resource to pull that off which made it very unlikely to happen... but it seems like it is more likely to happen than not. Do miners get benefits for being among the pool in the 51%+ group?

ghash reaches 45% -> sane miners move elsewhere -> percent drops to 30.

of course, as long as people who skipped math in school continue to buy cex.io shares, the percentage would be high, but the power of the other (sane) part of the community is greater.
