A note to the developer:
Evan, it's time to pull the trigger on payment enforcement. MN payments have dropped to about 50% of all blocks as lots of unknown dark pools that don't want to pay are growing their hash rate. I'm sure some pools are advertising 'still getting the full payout' to DRK miners. Whenever there is an inequality such as this, it doesn't take long for the smart money to work around it. See for yourself:
http://drk.poolhash.org/poolhash.htmlDecrease in supply will increase granular value. miners won't lose anything. They just aren't smart enough to figure it out... It's like a 20% boost in per-coin revenue... The only thing these pools are accomplishing is to hold back DRKs progress and hurt their own potential revenue as the coins they've mined can't go up in value if they prevent the DRK project from moving forward. Stupid People, they mine.
Enforcement will generate forking again. The "unknown" saboteurs are mining and dumping DRK, trying to keep their share of the hashrate high enough that Evan won't flip the switch. They know it. They're not holding DRK which is why they don't care if it harms the future value and progress. They're deliberately trying to destroy DRK while making a few bucks doing it.
Methinks the lack of trolls is due to them spending their time on this instead.
The average miner wouldn't be interested in this game, they know it's bad for their hodl.
Yes, there should be no complaints from the miners because what they lose in payouts will be made up for through bidding to purchase DRK for masternodes. To be clear though, the equilibrium we're talking about won't take effect until all options are closed for the miners.
Some really are getting an extra 25% for now. (yes you read that right. 5 DRK/4 DRK = 1.25).
The fork needs to happen, preferably while there is a majority of hashing power using up to date clients.
