why won't someone ddos deepbit ? if it's so scary
why tycho won't disable registration ?
He's making a large amount of money. Would you?
Well... I would. You can make a large amount of money with 30% of the hash rate, and the network is much healthier. Anyone who mines Bitcoin should promote a healthy network.
why tycho won't disable registration ?
Because he is shortsighted about bitcoins future and cares most about the money he makes. Which, ironically, will become worthless if even 1 single attack is perpetrated. Unfortunately since blockchain forks aren't centrally reported, we'll never know what he's doing behind the scenes.Sell btc imo.

"It's not like my hashing rate is rising, it's network block generation speed is low today which causes pie chart to look more scary than usual.
Create a good pool, make a better offer to bitcoin miners and they may switch. That's how competition works.
It's easy to make a pool with lower fee, there is even an open source pool software available. And that's not the only option.
Why not create more ? There will be a LOT of new miners soon.
Don't make me say my opinion on bitcoin security for the fourth time
"Is what Tycho says.

There are lots of pools just pick anyone of them but Deepbit. Network security should be your #1 concern.
Sadly, for other people it isnt.
Well, they are being silly. Why tempt fate when it's so easy to avoid such problems? Bitcoin may survive an attack, but will the public ever regain their trust? Let's not cut off our nose in spite of our face.
Well, most people probably don't know. It's not like everyone checks the forum every 10 minutes. Others may not even know about the danger of getting this much hash rate in one pool.
There are plenty of miners that use this forum that know. Enough to make a difference. They choose not to.

lol, on BTC guild I have like 4 idle's to 2 accepted -.-
They are having server issues right now, they are getting new ones on Wed. and Thurs. to deal with the load.
Switch to Swepool or some other pool for now.
This is pretty bad..btcmine down, btcguild down, bitcoins.lc down, everyone is flocking to deepbit. Not helping the situation.

I found pps better working for me (420mh/s) Today was like 2h round on deepbit. I got 0,6BTC, with PPS: 0,7BTC
Then obviously, you have not been mining for very long, and or do not know about variance. You cannot compare PPS and Prop like this from ONE ROUND. At the very least compare for a week and then see.
ok,I moved to BTCguild ; )

Isn't that probably an edge case? 2 hours is a long round for deepbit, I believe. The AVERAGE round length almost certainly results in a worse payout for PPS. Mathematically isn't not possible that PPS with a 10% fee is better. And unless you're in a tiny pool or only care about hour by hour amounts, the variance for non-PPS doesn't seem like enough to be a problem.

so ok, poole with good PPS ; )
Why would you want PPS? PPS gives you the LEAST amount of money, plus Deepbit charges 10% fee on PPS!!
You can go to pools like btcguild, if you donate 2.5%, they give you instant payout as well. That beats the 10% fee by a lot -.-
Swepool.
so ok, poole with good PPS ; )
