Antpool down to 47% hash already

https://cash.coin.dance/blocks/today

Miners/ pools voluntarily signal hashpower. There is no way to prove which block came from which pool.

As a result these charts should always be taken with a big grain of salt:

  • A single miner/pool can hide their hashpower majority by refusing to signal (the "unknown miner")

  • A single miner/pool can pretend to be multiple pools (the "fake minority miner")

  • Miners/pools can pretend to be other miners/pools, in order to FUD the coin or hurt the other miner's business by scaring hashpower away from the other miner/pool (the "false flag majority")

Past that, with a minority chain like BCH, a hostile entity can easily move their hashpower onto a pool in order to create FUD (a different sort of "false flag majority")

Nobody wants to see Bitcoin mined by a 51% miner. However, due to the variables listed above, it's difficult to draw conclusions about transient hashpower majorities.

In my opinion, any miner that's signalling that it has a majority is almost surely not an attacker, since it's so trivial to hide your majority, if you actually have evil intent.
