HR, please give it a rest, will you?
The chain stopped at 386228 BTW. When the new algo was put in place, it quickly build a diff, with only few miners, but very similar to the diff seen in March and April.
DMD diff (and price) went up 4x starting on April 21st, when rumors started to emerged that DMD was about to change algo. When the chain stops accidentally on April 30th, the dev-team was forced to come up with the new version as soon as possible.
There is nothing unfair about the restart of the coins. The fact that you may not had the skills, or experience to mine when the dev team announced the re-launch is your problem, not a fairness problem. Mining solo skills can be acquired, simply by doing some googling. Regarding the crashes, being in IT, you could have switched easily to Linux and start mining like many others did. Once the problematic leveldb directory was changed, mining was easy. (I just copied and pasted a leveldb directory from another working coin and it fixed the compiling and crash problems). Or compile your own Windows version for that matter.
Anyways, DMD is mining well now, and pools will come for those who don't want to google and learn how to mine solo. GRS is also another good coin, it depends who you want to support. Even DMD team recommended everyone to start mining GRS while they were fixing the code... so that miners could gain the experience with Groestl algo.
Have you read somewhere where I asked how to solo mine? Have you read somewhere where I complained about missing out? I think not. I think the answer is the complete opposite, that is if you had read.If you had read, you'd have certainly come to the conclusion that I am defending the community as a whole, and openly questioning and troubleshooting some of the issues. But I've said all that, and anyone with a half a brain who has read already knows where I'm coming from and what I'm about.
It's quite offensive to hear such a condescending, pedantic, and unjustifiable rant. You really should find some manners, at very least, and then you might start working on basic logical reasoning.
