Stay calm, we fairly distributed ECC to many people already. Remember our algo did not halve. After first halve it's injustice and not fair anymore (we don't cut rewards %50 or %150) when compared with others. There maybe few days with attacks, still not clear to me, but it happened or can happen only 2 weeks. Most cryptos out there and fine. Think about this. also this guy if bad intention ed, will ruin himself in the end. Goodwill and being in communicating with people is real richness coins makes you slave or evil if you get them in bad ways... Because easy coins has to be protected from others, because all others cheating see the trap mechanism? Also easy coins are worthless and you cant really hold them. If you want to buy such a chaos go and do so.
After mining all you need to hold, we will soon launch our official multipool and will start a new page or hope in crypto world.
I say the reward is fair even if it is cut in half, as long as you always know what the reward is. You can use a calculator. If you get too few coins at that difficulty, you go and mine something else and you trade for the coins. Either way, you get the right number of coins in the end. What is not fair is if you are told you will get so many coins per block, but you actually get fewer coins. That has been the situation with ECC for the last several days. The statistics show this.
Yes, it is true that a guy with bad intentions will often hurt himself in the end, but he will often hurt other people, too. We should not show criminals that this is an easy coin for them to cheat with. They will come and cheat and cause problems. They already are doing that. Worse, they are hoarding coins so they can cause problems in the future. We can see that happening by using the block crawler.
It is true that the attacks only started recently. You can not prevent them from happening now or in the past. But you can fix the coin so that they can not happen during the final week of mining. Should you not do that?
if we change reward system now as fixed whats gonna happen 32 days earlier miners? is not that unfair to them... There is a randomizing part put to motivate and put extra excitement in wallet for miners.
Also this is a bad thing if we make 5th update in such a short time (ask again all others to update) and "dreamed attacker" which decrease my morale and motivation. We have bigger problems such as a new coming ecc multi pool. i hope this attacker, if any, should stop picking up easy coins. And those who believes this scenario should quit mining or mine others or buy ECC. In the end we will only mine others anyway :-)
