I was a bit nervous and up set this afternoon, but after calming down and think more positively, I reverse my thought.
Actually this is a good opportunity for the coin to promote and do marketing it-self. If you agree with my suggested block number (315,000) to apply the fork, we have 5 more days until it happens. In this 5 days, more and more people will know about MRC (and its exchange alcuREX), because obviously it is the most profitable coin to mine right now.
So, think positively, hold your coin strong, rock your miners and enjoy the current sweet reward
@halibit, please confirm if you accept or do not accept my suggested fork above. As a supporter of MRC since day 1, I am just wanna help.
5000 blocks would mean there are 1,5 BILLION coins more than specified.
Thats about 7%, much more than i think it should be.
If we fork we should do now! Why wait?
Believe me, I fxcking wanna the fork happen as soon as you want. But to do a fork, we need:
- Make sure the fork will not be incompatible with the running version. Let imagine if you do the hard fork at blocks 310000, which is already mined, the block rewards of that block will becomes invalid, but then how it became invalid if the miners already received it, transferred it to the exchange and did the trade?! It would be a huge mess and if it happen, simple it is unrecoverable mistake and will kill the coin.
- Make sure the new client with the fork will be sent, compiled and used by all the exchanges and pools correctly. If even one node do not use the new code, we have 2 version of MRCs running with different forks -> kill the coin too.
No one want this mess, but when it happen, we need to think very carefully to not create more mess.

PS
Of course if we had time as if we found the bug earlier, we could make a pool and let the community decide. But since we do not have time, I have suggested 5000 blocks as a safe and reasonable number so we can make all the above change without any further mistake.
I can make the patch and compile the new clients in minutes, but it is useless. We need dev or halibit to confirm the fork, and they will contact poolers and exchangers, and the community will trust and believe them.
