Comment on Bitcoin security guarantee shattered by anonymous miner with 51% network powerparent

Wait, it's wrong to correlate pool size with steady income, but the simulation correlated pool size with steady income? If you need a few percent to guarantee steady income the base assertion is not wrong.

People were trying to say that there was a big difference between mining with a large pool vs the largest pool and what that guy showed is that once a pool is big enough 3%+ any variance due to the size difference is negligible compared to other considerations.
