Topic: Surely this isn't a 51% attack on bitcoins, right? - page 3. (Read 5444 times)
Just because "other" is "bigger", it doesn't mean anything. Just the whole graph is smaller.. That is unless someone is throwing 6 TH of their own miners at the network right now..
So now what? Game over?
Slush is gone from the graph and other is much bigger.
hmm, i guess we're having a 51% and it's not a coincidence, i'm not moving a cent from my wallet 
Maybe you should? This is the chance for double spending

deepbit = down
btcg = having issues too
slush = down

no mining at slush's pool. no mining at deepbit either?
I saw this posted on reddit today, could be a useful tool: http://pi.uk.com/bitcoin/orphaned-blocks
damn.... no way for me to change till i get home....
If you are in a pool which is down and are concerned about network security the best thing you can do is start mining.
Either with another pool or solo. Anything to keep aggregate hashing power up.
I don't think this is a 51% attack but everyone can treat it like a "fire drill".

This. If everyone mining in a pool switched to mining solo, the end result for network security (if not personal income) is the same, yes?
Yup. Only change would be some increased revenue volatility for the miner which is a small price to pay for network security.
The pool I am in is still running solidly, even stales are low so it must not be part of the DDOS target (so far).
Still if it went down I would flip over to solo mining.

Slush is down now too 
mr. bitcoin, you still selling those oval BTC stickers? I've been meaning to pm you but got lazy
Deepbit is down along with other pools (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dead-deepbitnet-ppspropinstant-payouts-we-pay-for-invalid-blocks-too-3889). As of right now, the chart shows over 50% of all mining power is in the 'other' category. See here: http://bitcoinwatch.com
Nobody is forking the chain are they?

No. The 'other' category is all the blocks produced by miners not known to be associated to a pool, including all of the pools that bitcoinwatch is not yet aware of. It doesn't, in fact, mean anything at all other than that more than 50% of the current hashing power is anonymous.
It could be that miners are working at deepbit, but you cannot get the reporting because the site is down.
can anyone mining at deepbit confirm.?
edit: the 'other' is deepbit if this is the case

Yesterday it had deepbit on there. Not sure how accurate it was or how often it was updated but deepbit is kinda hard to miss.

That pie chart didn't change for weeks if not months.
