Is anyone else concerned that 43% of the hashrate is from an unknown source?

April 02, 2014, 06:28:49 AM

And growing rapidly.

4 days ago it was 38%

This feels like ghash.io all over again, except this time there's not even a face on the potential threat...

Probably the BFL guys mining with their clients' mining rigs.

Well PBmining claims to be doing 106 THz. There's a small chunk.

And didn't you read the red letters at the top of the page?

nmaping some of these new players leads me to believe it's an assortment of delivered hardware

I'm aware that it doesn't necessarily mean an attack. But it'd be nice to have an idea of where at least some of that is coming from. And 106 out of 18000 or so isn't much accounted for...

As long as the unknown 43% is not from the same source, it is ok for me.

Oops, sorry guys. I was playing around with my settings and accidently super-duper-turbo-charged my miner...I'll go ahead and turn it down.

The Antminer S2 finished production and is being shipped in China since a few days.
We should not under-estimate their mass-production capacity.

It could a bunch of solo miners? But chances of that...possibly very low or miners on private pools possibly.

Its only a concern if the whole 45% are coming from a single source. I would highly doubt that.

Or perhaps they might have bought it from someone else, using their clients' money. They'll mine it for some 6-7 months, and then they'll ship it to the unfortunate client.
