Perhaps it's not extortion in this case.  But the fact is, an extortion scheme has been publicly laid out, and people have admitted to their roles in that scheme.

BCX said he will attack whatever coin "they" decide.  And how do they decide?  No need to guess.  They stated it publicly.  Anyone who doesn't pay up gets destroyed.  

BCX threatened to attack this coin.  The coin is now under attack.

Can you seriously not connect the dots?

There's certainly FAR more evidence that this is a case of extortion than there is evidence that Aurora is a scam.

Forum clown vs. Shitcoins
It's a win-win for everybody

the market is handling this.  the developer ignored a documented problem, and forked the coin.

a few weeks ago i remember a thread that stated there was a flaw, it was to be tested, and there were a lot of flames from auroracoin zealots.

the market is responding, there are massive sell orders, and the coin is crashing.

you still haven't described the attack, or how it's extortion.  only a cartoon.  

Oh, you're saying with Aurora.  No, I don't care about Aurora.  In fact, I agree that it is very shady, not what they are presenting it to be, and I wouldn't be surprised if BCX is right in that a lot of the people "claiming" their coins are likely part of the development team.

I just think extortion is the wrong way to address it.  Let the market handle it.

what is being extorted? 

describe the attack.  can you show who is attacking the coin?

Those are direct quotes.  One detailing the extortion plan, the other detailing the enforcement.  They admitted it.  What more evidence could there be?

its nice that you all want to share your money with Icelanders   

no, your cartoon is implying there is extortion though.  You haven't been able to show any evidence of extortion, only a cartoon.

i'm saying you're a hypocrite when the market doesn't go your way.

Are you trying to imply that extortion is part of the free market?

Don't really care if it's photoshopped or not, but there is an option in your profile to show/not show users' avatars.

Yes. Blocks ares slowly moving. BCX has given all the solutions for the fix previously and all the devs had to do was fix the coin properly. Im sure that if you sent him a PM asking how to, he would have shown you. The only harm being done here is the code itself.

What was the actual reason for changing diff adjust anyway. If it had the support the hash would be fine.

It probably actually isn't an attack, but rather daemons crapping out all over the place due to a giant pile-on of unconfirmed transactions in mempool.
And that in turn makes it harder to find a block with pools tripping over themselves, which in turn makes the problem worse as transactions don't leave the mempool due to no new blocks being found.

BCX: Probably isn't photoshop though, but rather just inline editing of the page, which chrome very easily allows with its build in dev tools.
Right-click and "inspect element" element to get started. Modify any portion of the page to say what you want it to, screenshot it and post it as "proof".

Easy enough for even those without photoshop skills to pull off in a jiffy.

And there we go: http://i.imgur.com/SdHSW8Y.png

It is still moving though...Will we something different, maybe worse, when it does get to block 5400?

1.  They didn't pay the extortion.
2.  The extortionists gave the attack order to their lackey.
3.  The lackey, a little man with big computers, is trying to convince everyone that that makes him a Big Man.

Do I win a prize?

But what about City Coins?

I agree with this, to some degree.

kill all airdrop'ed (centralised) coins!
country coins = premine scam

Putting a hardfork almost one month into the future with so many known issues is not resolving the issue.
There have been detailed explanations about the issues, they were given estimates on how long it would take for their target of 5400 to be reached and were explained how the issue would not resolve itself before that point.
And that was weeks ago. They didn't act on it, thus neglected to fix the coin before the airdrop.
