if deepbit implements this, I'll be happy to use their pool.

dude no offense to you but your totally missing the point.
no other pool is ANY WHERE NEAR as big as deep bit.
no other pool is ANY WHERE NEAR as big as deep bit.
But it's perfectly feasible for the other pools combined to have 51% of the hashing power (or more), and they could all be ran by the same entity in disguise. They don't need to be as big as deepbit.

Solo mining is impossible for 95% (or more) of the miners out there.
no one person should have that much control over the hashing power of the bitcoin network
bitcoin is supposed to have no central authority, every single wiki, youtube video, blog about bitcoin says that
but this much hashing power almost creates a central authority and it certainly gives one person way too much control over this network which is supposed to be:
"The peer-to-peer topology and lack of central administration are features that make it infeasible for any authority (governmental or otherwise) to manipulate the quantity of bitcoins in circulation, thereby mitigating inflation.[1]" - wikipedia
well someone with this much hashing power has quite a bit of control dont they?

You are correct. All around, it's better to mine solo.
Excuse me for being new here, but I've been watching all of the threads complaining about deepbit getting too much of the hashing power.
Isn't that a little blatant? If there were evil intentions, wouldn't it be better for Tycho to make 3-4 different pools, run them on different servers and under different names, posting as different names here (or hiring surrogates to post for him), and having them all appear to be independant, so that people think that they are seperate, when they're not?
Wouldn't that be a more effective attack? Would you guys even see that kind of attack coming?
Perhaps you should all be worried about any bunch of pools getting more than 50% of the hashing power as well.
Maybe everyone should mine solo, just to be safe.
