    Take it as a learning experience and that there is a reason people like me become concerned when hashrates become centralized.

    51% attacks are a real threat and this time Shift got lucky it wasn't someone who really wanted to cause harm.

    They also become a threat anytime a single pool controls 51% of the hash if that pool were to become hacked.  I have expressed concerns in the past about the centralization of the hashrates in shift.

    We'll walk away from this wiser, that's certain.

    Sadly it's not up to us which pool people choose, we can only advertise solo mining as much as possible. But we'll keep an eye on it and try anything we can to inform people about a negative hash distribution so they can take the necessary measures.
