Mine too..   I also could be mistaken.  Maybe some clarification is required..

since the algos are independent one algo compromised means only 20% of the blockchains is compromised. unlike chained algos like x11 where the algos are sequential and if one link is broken the chain is broken.

myr ftw.

Out of curiosity, what is the possibility of compromising 3 algos onto a single fork that would constitute a 51%? Even if someone were able to force a fork on 3 of the 5, wouldn't that be 3 different forks? Is it possible to force a compromised algo to an existing fork?

In same time, watching valid shares, he has like 15x more shares than next one, NOT 195x as from live-hashrate

OK, so this guys the equivalent of 2350 videocards with 6970 ?! (i have one and it makes ~ 15MH/s on myr-groestl)

It seems he either uses ASICs (lots) or he hacked myr-groestl ...
I think its second, because his shares are NOT so much

It's only a metaphorical picture. If a malicious attacker would gain leverage over 1 algo (20% of the blockchain) there are 4 other algos that will secure the blockchain, thus the blockchain will remain unaffected. We only use the percentages to give a better idea of what a 51% attack would look like to myr. There was a 51% accident on scrypt last week about the same time it happened on AUR. You know what happened ? Nothing. The pool with 51% of scrypt forked and that's about it, the blockchain had no reaction whatsover to the fork created and ignored it like business as usual. Like it was explained above 51% in one algo is only about 11% of the whole hash power. It's like cutting off a reptile's limb, the rest of the body remains unaffected and it will grow back the said limb imediately.

It most likely is true. I don't think you can force 3 algos on one single fork but can only create 3 different forks.

yeah, it look very strange. I was mining there back when the pool hash rate was around 350 mh and the pool was finding on average 1-2 block per hour, sometimes hitting 4 block if lucky. With the current hashrate would expect to see at least 5 blocks per hour. I think someone in the pool is faking share.

you might want to consider disabling "anonymous" user so that other user can spot who is faking. I can deploy 1 real hasher "anonymous" and fake 3 other "anonymous" miner. U can see block finder is often anonymous , but we can't see if the other anonymous is actually find block with their hash. If someone with high hash don't find block in a long time , we can see and inform pool operator

Can someone give an idiots guide as to how it is possible to fake shares on a pool, I'm not into the technical stuff and don't want to be wasting electric if I'm not getting my fair shares.

Million ways. Thats why there cant be THE FINAL fix for stratum so fast. You cant find all the tricks b4 someone tries them.
