Topic: How high can ghash's market share go before the price falls? (Read 1225 times)
So sane miners switched pools when it reached 45% last time - how close to 51% is it going to get this time before they switched?
What (other than variance) makes you think it is any different this time?

I'm curious as to what you think the motivation of these miners would be to crash bitcoin with a 51% attack? these guys make a lot of money doing essentially nothing, you think they'd just destroy that system and throw all their money into the fire? for what? just to say haha we killed bitcoin? there has to be a motive, and the only logical one would be all the miners decided they'd rather be poor. i don't see it.

51% exactly, nothing less. But it would only cause big price falls when ghash execute the attack..
101%

Miners will panic and move their hardware over to another pool, ghash falls back down to not a threat, then it happens all over again (unless somebody makes a better pool). Not gonna do anything to the price

how many times must this happen before other pools offer the same features as GHASH?

happened many times before, it's not a concern. We've been through this many times.
yea its nothing new and it can be solved easily.. please read the news =.=..
Not going to lie, I am feeling a bit worried about their hash share despite being an ultra-bull
Obviously a 51% share would probably lead to some kind of sell-off, but can we expect something as low as 49%?
