Yes I might lose coins but people will lose confidence in Tag. I might know when a fork going on, but there isn't a warning sign that pops up on exchanges or wallets warning users if there is currently a fork.
We've had 2 forks within 48 hours (I'm guessing) with orphans left right and center and no changes even getting thought about. A fork prone coin is hardly going to be taken seriously when people start losing coins depositing and withdrawing from exchanges. Having said that I know it's important to not rush into a fix, better to get it right than to create other different problems.
Re. BCX well I hope his motivation was justified. I went back over that section of the thread, he told people what he was doing, mining all the forks then later strengthening one fork while killing off others, and told everyone which fork to throw hash onto. Bad goodguy or good badguy? He never did clear up what he had against Bigvern, just that they had settled their disagreement.
I agree 100% with the confidence statement. My pool is running at like 20% orphans for the last 24 hours, and about 10% for the last 7 days. I know a lot of people just accept it, but it's very concerning when I strive to make my pool the best I can. Whether miners lose confidence in my pool or not, it's not something I'm ok with.
I'd still like to see someone come up with some links to another coin that had similar issues to find out what the resolution is. It would be nice to have some info to base the orphan/fork issue on.
That being said, I'm 100% behind TAG still. I know it's still young in it's age, and I can appreciate the fact that it will have some growing pains. I just wish I had more info to base my speculation on as far as what is going on. Yes... speculation.
