Believe it or not, this chart was from earlier today.


Ok, then it's just a shitty chart then because it is missing btcguild.com.

That pie chart looks ancient!  Shocked

Other is just the solo miners.

The pooled miners work for the single client that belongs to the pool operator.

Your chart is missing btcguild.com. They have 1.5 TH/s.

I might not be understanding this correctly but if this "Other group" were a bunch of government super computers (or enough of the "Other" group was in order to constitute a 51% of the network) could they fork the chain or whatever and corrupt Bitcoin?  Am I not understanding that correctly?  Is it just the client and not the miners that process and verify the transactions?
