someone is gonna be able to do a 51% attack pretty quickly..Bitcoin is over, PoS FTW!!!!
Pardon? Do you even understand how a 51% works?Do you guys also not understand that"unknown source" is not one single miner or group..
Topic: Is anyone else concerned that 43% of the hashrate is from an unknown source? - page 3. (Read 5144 times)

31% right now. I guess it depends where you look. This is a pretty acurate site: http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/chart.php
Just means that PFOE found the source of the remaining 12% hashrate.

Aww shit sorry guys. I'll tone my mining rig down a bit.

I believe that unknown is actually the company "cloudhashing".
Can anyone confirm or deny?

This is odd. Seems to be related to the 2^n transactions in blocks. Seems possible there's some flaw somewhere?

This Dave Carlson guy produces probably close to 10% of the unknown hashrate. So I wouldn't be that worried yet.

I suspect a lot of this is the 1Th/s Antminer S2 rolling off the production line and waiting for dispatch on 10th April...
Remember that the S2 has the power supply built in, so as soon as each machine is complete they will have in running right until it needs to be boxed up and dispatched.
Look back through the difficultly increase, back in oct/nov when the antminer s1 was released the difficultly was rising by 40% every 2 weeks.
They would be foolish not to mine with them for a few weeks before dispatching.

Well PBmining claims to be doing 106 THz. There's a small chunk.
And didn't you read the red letters at the top of the page?

Don't worry about pbmining. they don't have actual hardware.

"sources" not "source"; all your base are belong to us!

quantum mining. I posted a tutorial on it yesterday

Over 45 and we need to be on red alert.
April 02, 2014, 05:54:56 AM
implying they've even produced mining rigs
Or perhaps they might have bought it from someone else, using their clients' money. They'll mine it for some 6-7 months, and then they'll ship it to the unfortunate client.

Probably the BFL guys mining with their clients' mining rigs.

Its only a concern if the whole 45% are coming from a single source. I would highly doubt that.

The Antminer S2 finished production and is being shipped in China since a few days.
We should not under-estimate their mass-production capacity.

Well, there goes the diff another 20%

Oops, sorry guys. I was playing around with my settings and accidently super-duper-turbo-charged my miner...I'll go ahead and turn it down.
lol
And growing rapidly.

4 days ago it was 38%

This feels like ghash.io all over again, except this time there's not even a face on the potential threat...

It could a bunch of solo miners? But chances of that...possibly very low or miners on private pools possibly.
