    This blog post I found, http://paulbohm.com/bitcoin-decentralization/, is really well done.  It did two things for me.  It introduced me to the Byzantine General's Problem (which I now see is well known in the bitcoin community) and it argues really convincingly about what bitcoin's central strength is.

    Yes. Agree. Spread the word.
    My concern are pools, hence the text in my signature Wink

    Yes, I think solo mining is cool.  Whenever I eventually finish building my mining rig, I'll be going solo.  I can handle the variance. Smiley

    Mining for good pools is as profitable as solo mining. Anything else would be a flaw in the system.

    A big mining pool could have its own secret mining software, which could hash a little quicker. But that doesn't matter, the 50 % are not magical.
