Just want to say - I dropped support for FTC after I found out about the block reward - but after this attack - I’d just like to say i want to help in any way possible - obviously FTC is enough of a threat to warrant it - so if there is any way in which we/i can help FTC , i’d like to .
and enemy of an enemy is a friend to me ! :D
who is the main Dev of FTC these days?

I think almost everyone here believe the choice pools are what saved us from a potential worst case scenario. If events didn’t transpire the way they did (FTC becoming so profitable at the same time the attacks took place) we would have had a much bigger mess to clean up. I also understand how you may view the post title as misleading, but the opening post is not misleading whatsoever. -

For those people who say, “So nothing will be done?”
Reactionary solutions are worse than nothing.
We are doing something. We are innovating to make this much more difficult to carry out.
We are not going to panic and hurt legitimate miners. We will create and improve. Punishment for the guilty is just a crutch that doesn’t solve the problem.The attacker does NOT CARE about punishment. They want the coin to die. There is no deterrent for these people. They have money and bitcoin to burn. They will kill us with brute force or loss of confidence.
They do not care if they lose money.
They do not care if their attack fails.
They want us to lose faith and confidence.
They want us to disappear.The more we react against attacks, instead of preventing them and improving the coin, the weaker we are.

I’m from a political socioeconomic background so let me give you guys a little education - :
1. work on sCrypt FPGA or ASIC -
2. Spam out “Alt coins” < that you made and control < to spread the base of the smaller miners while they chase after all the spam.3. concentrate you ASIC or FPGA # power.
4. Attack the weakest at the time with the aim to destroy [b][i]Confidence in the unit and entity [/i][/b]
this all = attack is from people with lots of capital caught up in Bitcoin and ASICS.
there are two parts to the confidence vector , [i][b]Traders Confidence and miners Confidence.[/b][/i]
I think the Devs made the right decision as Trading is the life and death.
I will now mine FTC and I may have never before , so the attack may have blow back as it may bring a lot of attention to FTC , plus FTC is low enough in price that i can significantly benefit anyhow .
it sounds like the idea that was had of many pools with 100MH limits could help?

[/quote]Again, fourth try: what are those automated choice pools you keep talking about besides multipool.in???
[/quote]He’s referring to people who use coinchoose api to automate the switching of “their” clients to different pools that are standalone coin pools.
