Free market man, Tycho should not FORCE people out of his pool... If he provides the best most consistent server, then he should get a big slice of the pie.  Last night I watched as one of his servers went down and as promised it automatically switched over to a failover server he has.  Me not having to worry and knowing that tycho is behind the pool is worth the 3% to me.

Also I would rather have 50% in a pool be the threat then 50% in one person be a threat... I would be wary of the mining companies.  If tycho starts doing something bad miners can move off his pool and thwart his attack... if a single person had that power... what, do we all run out and buy video cards as fast as possible?

The only thing Tycho did was make a good fair pool when there was no other good option at the time.

Problem is the others just aren't good enough. Slush is too unstable and I never returned to BTC mine after not getting paid for a block that took forever to finish in April. The rest are just too small, which makes it too easy to pool jump.

All IMO, of course.

I think we need Tycho to voluntarily block new people ... and convince the slush guy to do the same too.
And convince Tycho and Slush not to conspire with each other Smiley

I don’t know, the pie is from http://bitcoinwatch.com/.

It should be in every miner’s self-interest to switch from deepbit to another pool. If you don’t you risk that the Bitcoins you mine coud become worthless.

Also, deepbit has a fee of 3%. Other pools like Eligius do much better than that.
I use two pool. 50% at deepbit and 50% at btcmine   Wink

How does BTC Guild compare with the others in that pie chart?  That's my favorite at the moment.

And yes, I agree, Deepbit is too big.

I think we need Tycho to voluntarily block new people until he is below 33% (and that is a high amount already) of the hash rate. And convince the slush guy to do the same too.

Move to other pools. Stop mining on deepbit.

Here’s what someone with 50% of the network’s hashrate could do.
